Her ‘plus sign’ necklace is way bigger than most I’ve seen.
- Got to make sure the cameras in the back pick it up. Just the usual iconography and standardized blonde talking head they trot out to remind people what they should look like in their version of murica.
- The percentage of area on someone's* look that's taken up by (the voluntary application of**) religious symbols exponentially correlates with how much of an absolute bell-end said person is.
  I guess clergy are partially exempt given it's a uniform
  ** I know there are some poor people out there forced to make their entire look a religious symbol. They're definitely exempt.

  Are they though?
- These people are literal heretics.

  I've never seen this version, it's fascinating:
  “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you build tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed, and you decorate the monuments of the godly people your ancestors destroyed. 30 Then you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would never have joined them in killing the prophets.’
  
  It's almost like, when you translate a work of fiction dozens of times, you can end up making it mean whatever you want it to mean.
  
  Matthew 23
  Okay cheers, gonna memorise that for the next time some zealot doesn't take "no thanks" as an answer
  
  I'm going to shorten it: "Mathew 23. What sorrow awaits you Hypocrites!"
