Five) is a good one. Like “oh shit… I fucked this one up too much, I guess I’ll see how it turns out but I’m gonna start over with a new batch”

I’d love to see someone more creative with writing than me do some writing prompts with that premise. Maybe have someone from this universe ascend or something and actually confronts god as they’re spending time with their new family creation.

六> is also a good one, it reminds me of the idea that every single person is God. And when all of humanity has finally lived and died, god will become a single consciousness and join the rest of their kind. It kind of pairs poetically with Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot.

1: you are absolutely correct

B- YOU DON’T TALK ABOUT MY MAMMA REEEEE

She’s college educated with a degree to teach math k-12, which just goes to show even a good education isnt always enough to make people see logic and reason.

The way I figure it, one of a few possibilities is true:

1 there is a god. He lets all the bad shit happen, and therefore isn’t worthy of dedication.

B: there is no god. Shit happens. Nobody is there to be worthy of dedication.

III- there is a god. It kicked off the big bang and sat back to watch. Either it has the ability to affect positive change and doesn’t, or it can’t. In which case, it’s still not worthy of dedication.

The end result is the same for me

My mother, who literally works at a hospital fighting with insurance companies all day long to get things approved, “doesn’t understand” why this happened in the first place, and thinks all the people who are pleased about it are “sad and pathetic”

Personally I think she fully understands why people cheer it on, she just chooses to ignore it because things aren’t bad enough for her yet so CLEARLY everyone else is overreacting…

Even when nobody mentions you, you still show up to let everyone know…

My condolences to your ears and temporal lobe.

She makes me want to jump into the abyss, not just gaze long into it.

I swear to God if I hear that song one more time I’ll go Setlik III on the closest radio.

It’ll just be more gun control for the poor.

There are a lot of things the government is perfectly happy to let you own as long as you can pay the extra fees and permits.

Me, every time my wife tells me a story of her childhood dealing with her narcissist mother, enabling father, both of whom were neglectful and emotionally abusive to all their children, and her insane sister who for reasons too numerous to count, deserves a spot in whatever hell is the worst one.

Most people are too lazy or stupid to take the initiative though

Full stop, go fuck yourself.

This is so fucking dumb.

I love it.

At this point I’m just going to assume the core was still slightly frozen or close to it when I put it in. I left it to thaw for several days in the refrigerator…

Ah well, a learning experience for next year.

It is precooked, and it’s made it up to 120! 25 more to go and it’ll be ready to serve, and food got pushed back anyway, so there’s still hope.

And offend me dear old ma? She never believed in using replicators.

My ham has been in the oven for 2 hours and the core temperature is only 70… I don’t think it will be ready when “dinner” starts in an hour and a half…

To be fair, this is the first time I’ve cooked holiday food in my own oven in my own residence… I’ve never cooked a ham this big before.

Luckily the mouse has been practicing his sleight of hand, and swapped the cinnamon out with a cinnamon-stick-shaped cyanide capsule he cleverly hid up his sleeve!

So unless you’re telling me the bird is also a master magician…

When the bird opens its beak to grab you, cram the cinnamon stick in as hard as you can and run away.

While it’s coughing up cinammon, you can quickly grab a No Hunting sign and plop it down. This way the bird knows it can’t hunt for food in this area and will have to move on.

SYENSE

You know, I don’t think there’s a single war I Care about more than any other…

Now technological era, on the other hand… I’m a sucker for anything from Europe/Mediterranean coast from the 1200s-1500s.

And who doesn’t love exploring early human history from Gobekli Tepe to Ur.

Fascinating stuff.

Now now, the “us vs them” mentality has been around as long as humans have existed.

Europe industrialized it and shipped it all over the world.

They just hit turbo mode on the factory floor.

I still sometimes hit ctrl/alt/del to open the task manager if I’m not thinking.

Too many years of doing that when I was younger and it only brought up the task manager.
