Absolutely. Lovable. Still a cop.

Semele was just a priestess who got diddled by Zeus, as you do, and got pregnant with Dionysus.

However, after shenanigans by Hera, she got tricked into asking Zeus to show himself to her in his full godly might, and because he was oathbound due to earlier power-of-boner stuff, he had to unwillingly comply.

He tried his best to show the tiniest sliver of his true being that would count, but she was still mortal, and got burned in godly flame for just witnessing him.

Zeus, saved the foetal Dionysus by strapping him to his thigh until the thigh-pregnancy was complete, and later, Dionysus found his mom in the underworld, and made her into the God of Drunk Frenzy.

Following all that, Semele appears to be uppity about her incredible husband to her sister, because Semeles husband carried their fetus to term after Semele died, while her sister's husband was a mere wife-and-son-murder-attempter.

I love out of context ancient greek mythology. Btw, all that, makes Dionysus the only god in this graph, apart from Gaia herself, to not be the product of direct incest. (Is brain-parthenogenesis incest? Who knows)

~~Lord Uncle Zeus getting it on with ALL his nieces~~

No wait, I miscalculated, those are cousins

Edit: except Maia, that's a niece... I think. This layout is confusing

We don't live in a society that "can't meet our basic needs". We live in a society that actively prevents us from meeting them ourselves, by taking away the time and freedom necessary for us to grow into being capable.

No one having kids is the only actual concern of theirs, mental illness is a feature.

But you might also be a sweeter

I love the Figure 1 description.

I don't know if it would be funnier if you pulled all this out of your ass for the joke, or if it was all real.

On one hand, an elaborate troll.

On the other, a scientifically well-learned polyglot cattle-farmer from Nepal with an unreliable memory and a penchant for pedantry.

Easy and quick, and we're a quarter of the way there, as of this comment

I don't know about proud, but you sure should be content.

Just as a sanity check for you, I think you're right about the people who choose to post on this thread.

"Something someone can't do", is a subset of "job", because a "job" literally is something you get money for, because other people don't wanna do it for some reason.

But the antiwork community is not here, and to be honest, your user of the word "type" in "only one type of job", muddles the meaning of the sentence a bit.

This is, no joke, exactly how the argument went, in my head. And the stick won.
