“I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it’s gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air and my house is full of mutant fucking squash.”

Pam Beesly: There is a master key and a spare key for the office. Dwight has them both. When I asked, “what if you die, Dwight? How will we get into the office?” He said, “if I’m dead, you guys have been dead for weeks.”

Instead of lumping a day’s worth of debit card and A.T.M. transactions together and then processing the highest amounts first — a practice that has caused large numbers of consumers to overdraw more quickly and pay more fees — it will credit the transactions chronologically. Chase also plans to allow customers to opt out of overdraft coverage [and] will cap the number of overdraft fees it charges a day to three. It will stop charging fees when accounts are overdrawn by less than $5.

If this really happens it’s a huge win for consumers. I can’t believe it’s legal to chronologically reorder transactions under any circumstances. Chase burned me earlier this month and I had a great argument with a customer service rep about who it was really benefitting. They wound up refunding half my fees but the whole thing was still a total scam. The Times had a longer article a couple weeks ago that summarizes the situation well.

WIN. Also, after multiple calls to BoA earlier in the year, you can already also opt out of their overdraft coverage, too. They just don’t tell you that until you get really pissed.

A dangerous cocktail - a mix of the Gospel, the Protestant work ethic, and the American dream

I am growing increasingly convinced that if everyone of these kids burning with passion to write a hit Christian song or make that hit Christian movie or start that hit Christian ministry to change the world would instead focus their passion on walking with God on a daily basis, the world would change…. So why do I believe a thousand kids walking with God will have more impact on the world than one kid making a hit movie? Because the world learns about God not by watching Christian movies, but by watching Christians.  —Phil Vischer (via azspot)

This quote doesn’t even make sense. Here is a guy who makes christian based media for children, and is telling people not to do it. Proves a perfect point that evangelists like this guy have no fucking idea what they’re even saying.

SHIT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. Although it does, because it’s a quote from a Christian given to other Christians, and that just takes any logic out of the equation altogether. It’s kind of the unofficial credo of all christians to accept, “Do as I say, not as I do” as truth.

As Vischer had an about-face in the wake of the demise of his grand endeavor to create a “Christian Disney”, this “quote” is cast in retrospect. Yes, he’s advocating against the very career trajectory he embarked upon in his younger years.

Here is another quote from Vischer (as I do not have the time available to research this matter further, which, unfortunately, is a story for many stillborn posts in my thought laden mind) on his “questioning the authenticity of his faith tradition” (my source is Skye Jethani’s wonderful The Divine Commodity):

The more I dove into Scripture, the more I realized I had been deluded. I had grown up drinking a dangerous cocktail — a mix of the Gospel, the Protestant work ethic, and the American dream… The Savior I was following seemed, in hindsight, equal parts Jesus, Ben Franklin, and Henry Ford. My eternal value was rooted in what I could accomplish.
