Participantthe foolishness of storage units is often talked about…but just moving ones stuff is kind of a loding proposition. paying 10k to move stuff that might fetch 1k or less, because, well its yours and youve had it so long.
THE SWEDISH ART OF DEATH CLEANING speaks to this but its not funny like roz chast.
many, every year u can hang in there with your normal life and avoid assidtance its like your making 40k. the best real financial investment may be yoga and a gym membership to leave any $ behind.
Participanti want to hunker down in my house with my dumb little life routine as long as possible, but in reality, a few years go by, and one is incapable or dead.
this really made me laugh. roz chast, new yorker cartoonist, drawing the tale of her parents decline and death. much funnier than it sounds.

ParticipantParticipantredd foxx quote…
Love. Hygiene. That’s the important thing. Hygiene. The toughest thing in the world: [you] have to turn to your mate one night and say: “You gotta wash your ass!” Shit. Knowing how difficult it is, I said it for you : You Gotta Wash Your Ass.
Stage performance (1980), promoting his comedy album, You Gotta Wash Your Ass (1976).Participanti suspect that many of us are focusing on showering when really what is more urgent is a thorough cleaning of the ass. How focused are you really in the shower on your butthole? I submit, probably not enough. I have a system now, where I go to town. Paper towels, water, washcloths, wet wipes, midday touchups, I mean, I think we are living in denial that simply stepping into a shower, maybe taking a few swipes at it, is really going to thoroughly clean the poop that may, from time to time, accumulate in that area. Clean your asshole, people of America! Stop taking 15 minute hot showers, and instead, spend one good solid minute OUT OF THE SHOWER working on the cleaning of your butt. You will smell better.
Participanti guess jesus means just whatever the hell you want him to mean. the poway shooter said he inspired him to kill some jews and peppered his manifesto with bible quotes in support thereof.
Participanti get young mormon missionaries come by and offer to help with yard work as part of their mission, and i assume win converts.
i feel too guilty to put them to work but i probably should.
their religion is kinda nutty but i really like most mormons ive met
Participantnew documentary called HAIL SATAN about satanic worshippers sounds intriguing. they may be chill bros just looking for progressive social change. i maybe could embrace satanism.
unless it gets too mainstream
Participantin the old days it was rude to discuss politics religion and money. i see now why.
Participantfree to make a tragic error?
Participant[quote=flyer]Actually, to make a final comment on this topic. My point has been that everyone is free to believe what they wish to believe for the short time we all have on earth.
Personally, we’re very much at peace with everything about our beliefs and our lives–we couldn’t ask for more in any way–and hope others find whatever it is they are looking for–whatever that may be for them.[/quote]
but everyone other than you and yours are, in the final analysis, wrong about Him and have no chsnce at salvation.
man you are so lucky u didnt grow up with my mom.
Participant[quote=rent4now][quote=scaredyclassic]I believe in lots of things that probably aren’t true.
I believe that kindness ultimately pays off.
I believe in fish oil.
I believe that a good sleep cures or wards off serious illness.
I believe doing nothing is usually the right strategy.
I believe that caring for the planet is extremely important.
I believe the United States is full of crap on many issues.
I believe on the whole, people across the globe generally suck.
I believe that the world’s problems could probably be solved with bicycles.
I believe that alcohol is good for you.
I believe in the value of a dollar.[/quote]
Hey Scardy,
Jesus is calling you man. Doubt no more. Your belief system is great but it wont save you. Only believe what Jesus did for you and the free gift of salvation.Romans 10:9
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.[/quote]id be violating the honor thy mother commandment. my extremely jewish mother would never recover if i went jesusy. literally. it would kill her.
it would be more disrespectful to her than crapping on my dads grave.
also, keep in mind ive been programmed since birth to believe the christians are out to fuck with us, which is, well, historically true, and even now, with judaism fashionable amongst evangelicals, i still actually physically recoil and feel slightly sickened just by the word jesus. when someone says jesus, basically i hear, fucking disgusting jew.
and i think theres still a small chance the christians turn on the jews, if the tide turns, judt like everybody thonks the muslims suck. same reason id never trust a german or a german car. my mom.
so there is no way in hell its even possible for me to accept jesus. to me, he seems threatening, like a klansman robe. the odds of me beconing a trump supporter are at least 500x more likely than me accepting jesus as my savior.
even if jesus came to my house personally and did a cool miracle id be like.
sorry dude, i get it.. youre all powerful, and i loved your work in the new tedtament, big fan, , but…cmon…you get it…my moms…i cant do that to her.
jesusd’d be like, yeah. i get it, man, jews are definitely weird.
and im like, tell me about it.
and hes like, takes one to know one. and we laugh. and hes like man you have nice digs.
and im like, we bought at the bottom of the market.
and jesus is like, well, you shouldnt worry so much about money dude, its just like paper.
and im like i know i know.
and hes like, you sure you cant do the christian thing?
and im like, i try to be decent. you know me man, you made me. youd have had a better chance walking in to bin ladens mosque and talking him out of the whole allah thing over bacon n eggs.
and hes laughing, were both laughing. and hes like i know. i know everything. i get it. its not in the cards..
and im like, yeah, being a jesus guy…just cant. like muslim. couldnt do it. same difference. im so glad you get it. you totally get me
and hes like, well, no prob. im not going to rewire you just so you can relax while saying my name and not have an anxiety attack when you see a cross. see ya round.
. and he disappears in thin air.
and id be like, wow, what a chill bro. i believe . . that he is a cool dude.
but i still, even then , after the miracle and so on, would be like, what other layer to reality exists under that
and what is this jesus guys game? and why is dying such a big sacrifice? people die all day long for others. shit i forgot to ask him. jesus? i had a couple more questions.
and jesus is in heaven like, i guess hes an ok guy, but i wish he would shut up with the questions. im patient but i could not take this guy for all eternity. how does his wife stand it. shes a saint…
Participant[quote=flyer][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=flyer]Many believers and nonbelievers help others in countless ways, but just don’t talk about it. As far as we’re concerned, that’s another part of enjoying life, and we’re glad to help.[/quote]
this sounds like zero fun.
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” (Mark 10:21-23).
and jesus said to the piggingtonians, worry not about the earnings of next quarter or the academic pedigrees of thy children, the size of your deals or your refinance rates. look at the california poppies, they dont worry much nor do they take prozac, and yet trump in all his glory never had a tie so finely colored. truly i say, abandon this stupid website and stop thinking about monry. scaredy 21:15.

and one man replied, “Never do we worry about earthly things, since we know our limitless blessings flow without concern or prozac so we may admire the glory and the beauty of the california poppies (and occasional redwood) now and for all eternity.”[/quote]
Right, I understand that’s the modern Christian interpretation of the verse. That we shouldn’t take him literally about giving your stuff away to the poor, but rather, what jesus wants is that you keep all your stuff, the beach house, the rolex watch, the Maserati, the designer clothing, the family trusts to keep the $ in the family even after death, but just not get too attached to it.
To my mind, and I’m not a literal type of person, this is not a fair reading and seems like an easy way out to what is being demanded pretty clearly. Not quite as bad obviously as the prosperity gospel, where G-d gives only the good people money directly, but pretty close. It’s ok under this interpretation to have way way more than you need, and enjoy the best real estate, food, cars, whatever while the poor suffer, on the sole condition that you’re basically indifferent to all your cool stuff and not attaced.
Which seems, just, well, unlikely, and fake too. because of course we keep our stuff and hang on to it with a death grip..
One tends to want to keep what one has. Basic human psychology teaches us that we are way more disturbed by the possibility of a loss, than we are excited about the opportunity of a gain. As a species, we desperately and definitely want to hold on to what we have. those who did not didnt survive
So honestly, tomorrow, all your shit is gone, you’re ina homeless shelter, working p/t as a maid scrubbing toilets, dumpster diving for old food, your kids are broke sick and jobless, and you’re like, eh, who needed the beach house anyway, our bodies are just vessels for his glory. Good riddance. I have my own personal relationship with jesus.
call me cynical but, i dont believe anyone actually believes or should believe it. i think its great not to worry about things but i also think its good to have really strong passwords on your bank accounts .
i have never experienced any pleasure giving money to the poor just a confused set of predictable thoughts about how im probably enabling dumb behavior.
