"Animal rehabilitation" definitely is, though. Remember, the first step to writing a resume is lying your goddamn ass off. Technically true is the best sort of true when selling yourself like livestock.

E: Make sure to mention your excellent dental structure and fertile loins, kevak. That always goes well.

... what are they using for bait?

Season 2, episode something? The one with the stench?

this is among the few instances where male-pregnancy is portrayed in a children's cartoon.

Well... go Samurai Jack. I guess?

So, this. Postnuptial Disagreements (and, despite the name, it's been pretty clean so far). I'm not quite done reading it (on chapter 20 of 28, of this writing), but. Damn. It's another of one of those "hit the ground running and start slamming into walls and random pedestrians" kind of things. Complete, a little shorter than I normally read (only ~88k words), but... so far freaking excellent.

Basic premise is a fate/stay night/sekirei crossover -- set before the fifth grail war. So far, Shirou is completely uninvolved. The only servants are ones mentioned in passing from the last war. The main character is the child of the 4th War's Kayneth El-Melloi, who fairly promptly starts acting (almost) exactly like a magus and someone familiar with the fourth grail war would, when shanghai'd into the sekirei plan. It's... it's just pretty great. Sekirei canon gets straight fucked. It's just. Quite wonderful, so far. Got a few more chapters to go, but just on the strength of the first 19, I would heartily recommend this fic to basically anyone.

Also, a lot of it had to do with the surrounding countries not being truly allies to each other or something.

That and Israel basically acting like incredible bastards quite a bit. Part jewish by blood, myself, and nothing against jews in general, but Israel is something I find myself liking less and less as time goes by and more atrocities are committed by its hand. Nasty ass geopolitical policy and action, aye.

Whole thing's a mess, but if that's the sort of way YWHW's protection manifests, I continue to want absolutely nothing to do with the critter. The jewish nation has not made a very good showing in regards to moral action over the last few decades. Not entirely their fault, I guess -- that was a freaking terrible place to settle down, considering the local situation, and even worse in the way it was handled, historically -- but...

... more on topic, pretty sure the bible quite specifically said there's pretty much no way to know when shit will actually go down. Trying to ascribe modern events to biblical prophecy and whatnot is... probably some variation of heresy. Or sin, I guess -- doubting the word of god, et al. Would probably posit that the best response to anything of that sort is to just pointedly ignore it and act as if it doesn't exist. S'been too many people that have attempted to excuse terrible action because of such considerations. Don't treat Israel's actions through the lens of YWHW's protection, basically -- consider them as you would consider the actions of any other child of god, and comport yourself accordingly.

E: Actually, it did kinda' strike me that they're probably right in line with Old Testament YWHW, all things considered. Was under the impression most Christians pointedly changed topics when discussion of that particular critter comes up, though. Renegotiated contract, not actually jewish heretics, actually loving god now instead of murderous inhuman monster, etc., etc.

...  you probably wouldn't be able to get a decent idea unless you specifically contacted (one of) the teacher(s). In my experience, the content of those sort of classes tend to very much be influenced by whoever's teaching them. If there's not a summary or available syllabus, there's basically no telling what it is. It could be history, could be sociology, could be philosophy, could be... a bunch of stuff. Course number (HIS vs PHI vs SOC, or whatever the normal nomenclature is for your area) might give an idea, there, but your best bet is direct contact with someone involved in the class.

I sincerely doubt the vast, vast majority of five year olds can even approach understanding exactly what is entailed by things such as heaven or hell. The concept of eternity alone, and the conceptual importance behind a decision that entails gambling on literally infinite consequences is just not something someone that young can grasp. You're talking about a subject that is considerably more complicated than comparatively simple human relationships.

Your line of comprehension strips everything about salvation of basically all meaning, cryx. It's a tremendous disservice to the concepts involved, imo.

... two days isn't really that agonizing, iirc. It's certainly not pleasant, but I've done that just... incidentally. Forgetting to eat for 48 hours. It would likely be a fairly different experience after a indeterminate amount of time on short rations, but... a couple of days without food generally isn't that bad, insofar as things go.
