I was raised without religion, and decided as a teen that I’m atheist. For that, I will be forever grateful to my parents.

Imagine learning about all the weird rituals as a young adult. I didn’t grow up with the idea that virtual cannibalism is just another normal Sunday.

JFC.

I think most people are pretty nostalgic for the music they liked during their formative years.

Cool.

Maybe they can also stop forcing updates that break my game, too?

Fortunately, GOG exists. Which proves that Steam doesn’t need to force the updates on us, but chooses to.

No clue. The only time I have more than three open is when I’m researching some stupid question I have, and then I immediately close them after I get the answer. Even then, if I get too many, and am frustrated in my search, I’ll close them all in disgust and start over.

If it’s something I want to save for reference, I save it locally with the SingleFile extension, because contrary to popular belief, shit gets deleted off websites all the time.

I bought FO4 off GOG a couple of days ago, because I’m fucking tired of Steam breaking my game every few weeks with mandatory updates, I think it was on sale for black friday. If that doesn’t count, then count me in.

I mean, at this point, it sort of is for most of us.

However, I expect the refrain would be, “I worked retail, and I never did that thing!” Kinda the equivalent of, “I have black friends!”

It’s a continuum, of course, like everything. Most people sit somewhere in the middle, with a few people defining the extremes.

No, most people are not horrible.

That is exactly how it looks. The timing is correct. I can imagine the argument, although, they might not have loved each other enough to even argue about it by that point.

My education system didn’t fail me, I failed it.

So, they should know?

Rear view cameras have been required by law for a few years now. I’m pretty sure it was a ploy by manufacturers to get a screen on every dashboard so they could sell ads.

I don’t see what one-day blinding stew has to do with hair biting. But, I’ll look into it tomorrow

Where does arguing on Facebook fit into this? Nextdoor? JFC, my neighbors are a bunch of blithering idiots.

I don’t know much about the religion industry, but I suspect this is true for all of them. The fastest way to become a non-believer is to read the religious texts.

I’ll get rid of chairs. Ottomans, which are not chairs, would be arranged around the tables for some reason. My ottomans have a vertical panel for a foot rest. It’s definitely a foot rest and not a chair, though. Chairs were banned.

“STOP THROWING APPLES AT US! WE HAVE PhDs!”

Chat, is this true?

The other night, I saw a weird spider on the bathroom mat while I was doing my business. The bathroom was lit only by a night light, so I could barely make it out. It was larger than our usual resident spiders, and writhing around like I had stepped on it and hurt it. I finished, stood up, and turned the light on to see the spider better. It wasn’t there. Apparently, spider hallucinations are common.

Several years ago now, I was talking to my girlfriend at the time about an argument we’d had about a week earlier. She listened for a minute and then said, “We never argued about that, where were we?” I told her we were in my car in my garage. She’d not been to my house up to that point. I realized I had dreamt it, but I completely and fully believed it was a real memory, but it simply could not have been. I freaked out for a few days when I read that people often confuse dreams for real memories. I now question which other of my memories are just past dreams. Why would trust any of my memories now, when any number of them might just be old dreams?

LanguageTool agrees that this sentence is correct.

(Edit to say that I understand why it’s not.)
