  1. Which, I dunno, IS that just the so-called "human" "condition?" Are we all not just trying to be who even we think we "are?"

  2. @scribus He sure seems to be putting in a lot of work to sound like he thinks he's supposed to sound

  6. Hell, Alice Cooper is deeply faithful, AND he's keepin' Halloween alive, baby, three-six-five!

  7. And I feel bad, sometimes, because I say "religious nuts." I don't mean to say all religious folk are off in any way. I mean specifically to refer to the subset of religious people who take it to a nutty degree.

  8. @adiwan Well, more than zero of them have previously railed against makeup, Halloween, Madri Gras, and fun in general...

  9. There was one congressperson or senator or whomever who said "A mask covers the face, made in the image of God," but I think even the nuts thought he was crazy.

  10. @adiwan I guess I don't really know that a major amount have been using religion specifically, but it just seems common in a lot of science denial.

  11. "God said nothing bad will happen to me. But, He also told me that if a bad thing happens, it's all my fault..." Tell you what, either someone wrote it down wrong, or this deity is an abuser. I heavily doubt an all-powerful deity would be abusive (and still have us around to gripe about it after hundreds of generations). Therefore, I'm pretty sure the books aren't quite accurate... Maybe, just maybe, we were given this brain and these reasoning skills to, you know, USE THEM!?

  12. @adiwan I've usually been a bit cavalier about new diseases, too, aside from standard flu-season hygiene. I was on team "don't wear a mask if you aren't sick, we need them for front line workers" until the new science came out. And I, too, do not understand people who take the advice of a group of uneducated desert monks who've been dead for two thousand years and their demigod fanfiction over modern science and medicine.

  13. @mrmattimation I'm not antisemitic, I just use the same propaganda tactics as the nazis against my political opponents

  14. So I guess I'm gonna try streaming on YT because Twitch is a pile of itchy bean bags (thanks amazon~)

  15. Well my new computer has just so many built in streaming features it'd be a durn shame not to. . .

  18. @adiwan Haha, victory! Never had it myself, but they go on about it in 2600 Magazine.

  20. @adiwan Curious, do you have establishments that might be more of a "barber shop" situation? Like, in the USA, there's sort of a "barber for men, salon for women" thing going on. I kind of like the idea of just a neutral "haircut place."

  21. I just hope nobody who got these genetically modified radioactive alien kudzu seeds and heard the gov't say not to plant them decides to play the "Screw what you say" card

  23. @adiwan It's not especially pronounced. I've seen some that were gnarly, like you need peripheral engaged to see anything, but this isn't too bad. I think I'm more tripped out by how wide it is, coming off of the laptop life. :p

  25. It's a work machine, it's for "my company," not me. I don't need to love it. It just needs to work.

  26. I just need to remind myself, I need the compatibility, I need the compatibility. . . .

  27. And now I get the ~joy~ of asking tech support why basic interface functions (like an icon on the desktop when a drive mounts) that Windows used to do (and Mac and *NIX still do) are not a thing anymore!

  28. @adiwan Eh, I wanted a hassle-free shopping experience, resulting in me owning a future-expandable desktop computer. Indifferent as to pre-built or DIY, except for reasons I need a Windows license so

  29. Well, the line for my online order is so long that I may not be getting a new computer after all
