Happy Independence day to you guys! I'm gonna go on a camping trip with my girlfriend and her family over the next few days, and I'm looking forward to it! 😊

Man responds energetically and violently to new threats, not old ones.
Yet here we are, responding violently, and wondering why those who do not join us do not believe our claims that no, really, this is an old threat.

Jesus: Why would I let you stay lost? Do you have any idea how much sheep prices have inflated over the years? I'll make a killing once I get you back to the market!

Me: That's not quite how inflation works...

Jesus: It's a joke, you goof
