Re: -

So they acknowledge that women who pretend to be men and use the men's bathroom may require female products so they acknowledge they are actually female, so why the fuck do they let them use the men's bathroom? I suppose a practical, clear distinction between male and female is necessary for the on...

Re: My friend is not the one who wears the pants

I don't have children, and I don't practice conventional Christianity, but if I were in a similar situation, and if my hypothetical wife were willing to play along, I would probably force the child to remain silent while my wife and I solemnly said: Benedic, Domine, nos et haec tua dona quae de tua ...

Re: What e2ee chat programs do you use?

I don't use end-to-end encrypted systems so far as I know. Sometimes I sign up for short-term emails, and some of those probably use end-to-end encryption.

I used to be very interested in I2P but I have not had a lot of time to devote to it lately.

Norco

Norco is a game somewhat like a visual novel, and somewhat like a point-and-click adventure game. Norco guides the player through the story of a young woman who struggles to find a modus vivendi as an alienated unemployed person while mourning the death of her mother and the disappearance of her br...

Re: Demons are real

Thoughts? 1. The primary problem is that the headline is "demons are for real," the host mentions that "archons" can be called "demons," and yet there is no clear definition of what the topic will eventually be. I can guess what the point will eventually be. Eventually...

Re: Race and ethics

What makes you say no-one can explain the theory of karma? There are completely developed and consistent theories of it. If you mean that it cannot be proved, that is correct. The veracity of it is often seen as something everyone must evaluate for themselves. There's no point in being a Hindu or B...

Re: Heresy, Mental Illness, Social Maladjustment, and Spirituality

Thank you for sharing. I find it ironic that people's affinity with science has nothing to do with the scientific method but is instead dogmatic in nature. What makes you say that social skills are based on decisions? When people try to silence you, that isn't necessarily on you. That's the herd me...

Re: Joe Biden sucks

I am convinced that most politicians are blackmailed by the real power-brokers. I would like to see the blackmail exposed. There are at least a few good bureaucrats who try to uphold the law, but it's difficult to estimate the percentage of non-corrupt bureaucrats.

Re: What will you do after the support for Windows 10 end?

Currently I have a decent workstation that can run Linux but it has Win 10 on it because I am lazy and I play Windows games sometimes. What I *should* do is install Linux and use QEMU/KVM to make virtual machines on it so that I can boot Windows whenever I like. But I don't know how to pirate Window...

Heresy, Mental Illness, Social Maladjustment, and Spirituality

So I was raised to be Catholic. I had some friction with the people who raised me. I showed signs of heresy from an early age. Maybe this means I was having spiritual intuition leading me away from the church, or maybe I was just lazy and I didn't want to go to Mass every week. But a heretical outlo...

Here is some silly attempt at humor: Raccoons customarily do not wear trousers. So when a guy rambles about how he will take off his trousers and do kara-te unless people upvote his raccoon posts, you can derail the conversation into questions of whether the guy posting is a raccoon, or whether he ...

RUFUS is able to take a Windows 11 ISO and remove the hardware-checking crap from it. So I am installing Windows 11 until WINE can run Visual Studio 2022 and Office 2021. This is interesting. Is there a website where I could learn newbie stuff about RUFUS? I had never heard of it before you mention...

Sseth is one of the few game reviewers who seems to be sincere. Yahtzee stopped being sincere about the same time that he got married -- or at least, Yahtzee stopped being funny to me at about the same time that he got married.

I like posting silly things but I sometimes post serious things

Fun fact about me: I try to post light-hearted silliness as much as possible. However, I try to do this only when the discussion seems to lack any serious topic. If I think people are trying to be serious, I try to turn off most of my humor. Here is some silly attempt at humor: Raccoons customarily ...
