When old testament says to love someone instead of just smiting people, you know that shit is serious.

I can't escape Lighttrails, our little walking libary.

Yes! Great point. If you find any other book that you really like (Mending being a perfect example)... keep the librarian... find a new villager, and start the process over.

If you find a villager with no job. Trap it. Place a lectern next to it. It becomes a librarian. Check what it sells. Silk touch? Nope. Break the lectern, the villager reverts to not a librarian. Villagers only keep their jobs if you have bought something from them. Replace the lectern, check (it now has new items for sale), break, rinse and repeat. Once you find it, buy it and the librarian will be locked to always sell it.

Only downside is you need emeralds. But on the upside, you get infinite silk touch.

I feel sorry for everyone stuck at home watching game seven of the world series. They won't get to learn anything about apples.

Its liberal in the sense of "we don't like Kamala's stance either, but the alternative has said he would "finish the job" in Palestine and is also anti LGBT, so if you dislike kamala purely about Palestine you should REALLY dislike the opponent and actively seek to prevent that from ever happening"

$6996.99 per year is $134.56 per week. If you get 5 books per week, that's $26.91 per book. Given the picture includes a single book costing $19.95, that feels very reasonable. Maybe it's 6 books a week, maybe some books are more expensive.

That's a very consistent habit though.

I get conventional mail marked up like it is from the manufacturer claiming my warranty is expiring.

With the added fun bonus that all the things they claim to cover are engine related, and my car is an EV with no engine.

They're just trying to keep government small and out of your business... or something

You could put a big flashlight up in place of the sun and it would be better, or something. I dunno lol

I would hope the whole thing is a joke in general.

"The sun gives us light when it's 'already' bright" is where the real logic breaks down. "I don't need because I already have " is circular logic.

So of course we wouldn't have sunlight at night without the sun. but we also wouldn't have sunlight at night without the moon.

Whether we want to call it "more useful" than the sun... it is just as useful as the sun at night. We need both of them for the system to work. I was just trying to snarkily emphasize that we shouldn't downplay the moon because it is "just" reflecting sunlight.

A typo is when you slip up and type/get something wrong because you're moving too fast to pay attention.

Spelling a word wrong because you don't know how to spell it isn't a typo. This person doesn't strike me as an intellectual that knows complex spellings like "afraid"
