Commitment is what happens to crazy people. From the looks of him, perhaps that’s what happened to the absolutist, and also how she knows that he’s been committed.
I prefer the ads that tell us that “Product is better” … without a “than” clause. Just a matter of personal preference: This sign is every bit as useful.
Someone else once said that these “end of the world” proclamations are so numerous, that there should be an end of the world of the month club. What I can’t figure out is how someone can succeed in milking their flock with their proclamations, more than once. A guy named Harold Camping did it 5 times, and was able to really fleece his followers on attempt #4.
It’ll happen right after JFK, Jr. is reincarnated at Dealey Plaza, and comes out as a running mate for the Velveeta Voldemort. Just like the Turd Reich said.
Ours is a world of fiddlers. Tweaking, revising, altering, replacing, Example. I like to use a basic dust mop with a reasonably long handle for floors. Had one I really liked but it eventually wore out. Replacements? There aren’t any.
There are strangely designed items that use replaceable cloths that must be discarded to already overflowing dumps, others that include some kind of liquid dispenser, but which never quite pick up all the residue, and handles that extend for cathedrals in homes with 8’ ceilings. And, parenthetically, it’s parallel to the constant digital revolutions that appear on screen almost hourly.
They’ve been saying that the end is near for centuries. Since we live in a finite existence, it’s pretty much guaranteed that the end will happen. It’s best not to worry or dwell on it. That makes the now miserable. Enjoy your blessings and care for others. Life can be a wonderful thing.
“The end is nigh” usually comes up when some self-proclaimed prophet once again predicts the imminent 2nd coming of Christ. The very people promoting this idea are apparently incapable of reading their own fanfic (Matthew 24:30-34), where Jesus clearly says he’ll be returning during the lifetime of his own disciples. But guess what? He didn’t! Didn’t come back then, hasn’t come back since, isn’t back now, and won’t be coming back in the future.
And why not? Because he’s DEAD, you fools! Dead, dead, dead! Dead and gone. Dead and buried. Dead as a doornail. Dead as a rock. Dead as a dodo. Flatlined like Kansas. Belly-up like a dynamited carp. Dead and never coming back!
It’s been TWO THOUSAND YEARS, people. Time to get over it. I’ve heard of slow learners, but this is ridiculous. Sheesh. Grow up and face reality.
“To die—to sleep, no more; and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to: ‘tis a consummation devoutly to be wish’d.
To die, to sleep; to sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub: for in that sleep of death what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause…” — Hamlet

I used to know a man who was terrified NOT to commit.
Ladies, if you ever meet one like that . . . run! Run as fast and as far as you can. Or accept that he will ruin your life.

It’s a political sign. The words are plain, but the sentences meaning is a figment of the readers imagination.

I won’t worry until I see “The end is here. Now!” sign. Probably on the front of an east bound 18 wheeler in my west bound lane.

Not sure “absolutely near” has any semantic meaning. Am I sitting near you on the couch or “absolutely near”?
