Pope-n-Sesame

 

"White Bishop" from Herr D's "Aqua Chess."  He doesn't depict many religious figures.-Shelob

 So, Biden has met with the pope.

Confirmed.

He had to tell him about the troubles he's been having.

Pope as confessor to President. Fitting incidence of roles.

What are the odds he complained about the holdout senators delaying climate change legislation?

Discussion, 100%. Complaints, 99.49676988754338%.

[laughs] Shelob, do you realize this means that an organized religion is backing science more than certain American politicians?

That constitutes irony.

[laughs] Yes it does.

It also is an example of fitting incidence of roles. Hairy defined religion as search for truth, science as correction toward truth, and politics as a search for the correct truthful-sounding lies.

Well said. In any case, most religions believe in being good stewards of the Earth and not destroying other people's home. That's the goal of climate science. So politics doesn't just make strange bedfellows, it makes odd sparring partners.

titlebot is asking what they ate together.

I would guess something light and Italian.

Perhaps Chinese?

Thieves And Vandals Admit Inferiority by Their Actions

 

"Water Authority Breach" by Herr D on heromachine. This was not tried, despite some evidence to the contrary. Grammatical error corrected in title; thank you to "Dave"-Shelob

 Do you have a stance upon identity theft?

No one should need a STANCE. Identity thieves do what they do because their own identity ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. They can't make enough money without being criminals, they can't get what they want politically because they lack charisma--any thievery is simply an admission that someone can't get what they want by any GOOD means. It is, by it's nature, an admission of inferiority.

What about the instances of deliberate vandalism, cyberdestruction?

Well, they want something inferior, don't they? They can't MAKE anything so great as what they're destroying, or they would be DOING that rather than destroying something better than they can make. How many times have there been incursions on this blog, Shelob? Three times?

Forty-four.

[pulse quickens, lap shifts under laptop] That's -- a lot more than I would have guessed. This is just words and pictures put together! How many people can't do a good job of that?

By the estimations of educational organizations, fewer than one in seven hundred people can write a half page per day of interesting and coherent prose without assistance. By virtue of comments and calculations available to graphic artists, fewer than one in seven people can cite other people's work correctly; fewer than one in three can post correctly; and fewer than one in one hundred can use a graphics program to do more than Hairy rated as 'snapworks.' This places your portion of this blog as something fewer than one in six thousand people can accomplish.

Well, thanks for that. . . There ARE blogs out there that just aren't interesting or well done. I'd never thought this was that exclusive. Everyone knows destruction is easy by comparison.

Thank you for the mini-vacation, Shelob. Work has been insane, but understandable considering the amount of insane behavior out in the population recently. Gotta get back to it. [exits]
