A Catholic Writer's Ramblings

“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard

I hate that whenever I complain about scam callers people are always like "just don't pick up!" BROTHER I DON'T PICK UP! YOU JUST WATCHED ME GO "ugh spam" AND HANG UP. It's still such an annoyance, and I can't just like, ignore phone calls because sometimes it's my wife calling about the children, or doctors offices or or or. Not answering doesn't make it not a problem omg.

If solicitors, salesmen, senators, scammers, and strangers were constantly knocking on one’s front door at all hours of the day and night, “just don’t open the door!” would come across as blithely stupid and unhelpful advice. In the digital age, a phone is as much a portal into your life as your home’s front door, and an unwanted invasion of either can be just as obnoxious, costly, or even deadly. The fact that we are 150 years removed from Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call and yet today’s carriers still refuse to clamp down on the rampant abuse of their services is a scandal. “Just don’t pick up” exculpates the scammers and the complicit carriers who refuse to solve a solvable problem.

YEAH EXACTLY

I love rebloging. It’s the adult equivalent of showing everyone the cool rock I just found.

Unfortunately my nervous system cannot tell the difference between the idea of someone possibly politely declining me and a nuclear bombing at my location.

Well, I don't know. Did you make sure you were in the right place? I once pulled up to a Taco King thinking it was a Burger Bell

I did! I asked, “Isn’t this Burger Bell?” And you know what she said? She said, “Yes it is but we’re closed now, but we open tomorrow at ten.” Well, I wasn’t sure what to do so finally I said, “I am extremely hungry, but I guess I can wait until then.”

An update: I stayed at the drive through til sunrise, and I may have dozed off once or twice. And you’ll never guess what I spotted.

I dunno. A Denny's billboard?

Yes! I spotted a billboard for Denny’s, and the deal it promoted was astounding: bacon and eggs for half price? Well, how could I resist such an offer? I really needed something to munch. I hoped they wouldn’t be angry and decided to eat and go back there for lunch.

I think it’s odd how many canonically religious characters are head canoned with religious trauma. I understand people like to project onto their favorites, but sometimes I can’t help but think, “can someone please let this character be held by their faith instead of harmed by it for once?”
