From a religion maintenance POV it makes total sense. From a “god is omniscient and infallible” standpoint, it makes my head hurt.
- Comment on You can't argue with his logic 1 day ago:
Mathew 18:18 is circuit breaker for those situations:
whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heavenAKA when in doubt, god defers to the Pope for some reason.

One of the best things on 80’s TV.
I don’t know if today’s stuff holds water, by comparison.
- Comment on "Gen Z won't understand this but back in my day, if you ever saw as many ads as you do on social media today, it meant you had at least 3 viruses on your computer" 1 day ago:
When I was a kid it as <10 minutes of ads per hour on TV and (I think) 12 minutes per hour on radio, roadside billboards were illegal in my county, and the local newspaper ads were mostly relegated to the back page and sunday inserts.
There were also no blatant ads pre-roll at movie theaters and productions got bad press for having product placement.

Sometime between November 5th 2024 and Jan 20th 2025 I decided I had better replace my ailing laptop before something drove prices up. I was debating between the 32G of RAM I needed and the 64G I wanted. I am really glad I splurged back then. The way costs have gone between tariffs and AI’s demand for braaainz (plus the fact that vibe coders don’t make any account for efficiency or specs) it feels like I practically got it for free.

- Comment on Is there any such thing as "edutainment" shows for adults? 5 weeks ago:
Connections is one of my all time favorite shows. I missed that there was a 4th series released. Four series in 47 years.

Conservative governments have spent 3 generations, the world over, convincing everyone that deregulation is always a good thing.
- Comment on The American Dream (terms and conditions apply) 1 month ago:
I’ve been thinking about putting a nice poster or painting on my ceiling, so when I die at my desk if I happen to slump backward at least a nice poster will be the last thing I see.

Pssh! Lefties always getting special treatment and righties always getting a handout, while us middles always miss out.

I’ve spent 20 something years ostensibly working 9 - 5. But most of those years I’ve also on call for server downtime, and crunch-time is sometimes a thing.

We should encourage kids to smoke to deal with their stress.

- Comment on The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there 2 months ago:
What are they cooking with they need to put that into a stud? Was it common for them to set their tungsten rolling pin atop and then hang their lead apron from the edge? Did they have a recipe that calls for a pinch of neutron star?
