I tried to read the New Testament once. I finished the first book, started on the second, then realized I'll have to read basically the same story three more times. Kinda lost interest after that.

Johnny Walker posted:Mary Worth It's fine to do if you're already a believer and already have at least a basic understanding of what your belief entails. Then reading the Bible can give you some new perspectives and insights. There's lots of stuff people think is in the Bible that isn't, and lots of stuff that's in there that people miss. If you're a Christian, then reading it for yourself is a good thing to do. I'm not convinced that just handing a Bible to a drug addict with a few highlighted passages and saying, "Have at it! I'm gonna go talk to the old lady down the hall! Let me know when you find the Lord!" will be as effective as one would hope, though. Even if, just for the sake of argument, we accept that it's true that there are Bible verses that can help you kick a drug habit, it's still the kind of thing where the person sharing the Bible should hang around and offer some guidance. There's a lot in that book that can be interpreted multiple ways. The Amazing Spider-Man  Newspaper Spider-Man: worst Spidey, or the best?

Johnny Walker posted:I've never understood just reading the Bible anyways. I can understand getting something out of a good sermon or a discussion on passages and stuff, but just sitting around reading through it I don't get. I guess some people do it but there's a whole lot of nothing happening in there between the "good stuff," from what I can tell. Julet Esqu posted:Newspaper Spider-Man: worst Spidey, or the best?

The actually good stuff in the Bible is all the bits in between the stuff that's used for sermons because for some reason nobody delivers sermons about how women shouldn't sleep with foreigners even if they have semen-spewing donkey-sized dicks. Also trackballs are supposed to be really good for avoiding strain injury, but they are awkward as hell to start using.

Buni Rhymes with Orange  Pros and Cons  Edge of Chad  If this is supposed to be the 1930s, wouldn't he be calling it French Equatorial Africa, not Chad? Also, as folks on Gocomics have pointed out, his finger is more around Mali, Algeria, or Mauritania. But hey, all African countries are basically the same, I'm sure.

WickedHate posted:I'm not sure I get why being upset at the violent disrespect of familial artifacts for no reason is all that unreasonable. Because in Brooke's world, music = sex. In fact, if I remember correctly these two are getting married solely because they played music together. Well, also because they want to gently caress but doing that out of wedlock would be unseemly or something. e: I misread your post; you're right that the mother has the right to be mad, but even moreso because of the music = sex angle. Basically whats-her-face there swept all the family photos to the floor so they could pseudo-gently caress on the piano.

fondue posted:Doesn't it require a lot of expertise and special tools to tune a piano? Short answer: yes, on both counts. Long answer: I worked for 10 years in a performance theatre that had a 9 foot concert Steinway. Every year, before our fall concert season started, our tuner would come in, with his dufflebag of specialized tools, and spend the better part of a day pulling her apart and tuning her just because she had sat unused for 3 months. Then before every concert, he would come in and spend about an hour or so making sure she was ship-shape, even if he had just tuned her the week before. If that piano's been sitting around uncovered and in dubious climate control for years, no amateur asshat with no tools is gonna be able to tune it worth a drat. Calaveron posted:Are there a lot of instances of actors and actresses' spouses being jealous over them smooching other people for the camera or is it something that only out of touch melodramatic idiot spazzes think What's getting me about this arc is this stark contrast: Les's Wife: "My husband does nothing but obsess about his former wife. Wrote a book about her. Tried to get a movie made about her life. Wears T-shirts with her face on it when he goes out jogging. Even talked about her while proposing to me. Oh well [shrug]." This woman: "My bf is a professional actor and occasionally interacts with attractive women as part of his job I'M CONSUMED WITH JEALOUS RAGE"

I'm not sure if we are supposed to sympathize with the jealous girlfriend, her actor boyfriend, both, or neither (personally I sympathize with that actress cause the girlfriend is prolly going to do something, and it can't be nice to have her standing there giving you the stink eye when you're just doing your job). Obviously she's being quite irrational here, but it's being presented from her perspective so I can't sort out if we are supposed to be on her side or not. Same deal with Luann; she's being all kinds of selfish and terrible in this bridesmaid dress arc, but we've gotten no indication from the Evanses that her behavior is anything other than a fun goof on Gunther.
