I had a sinus surgery for polyps. First off, thankfully, I was unconscious, and secondly, it was a near fully automated procedure. They did a CT scan of my sinuses, used it like a GPS map, and the machine just does its thing while being over seen by the surgeon.

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to do in my yard, but my damn mono-lawn neighbor keeps “maintaining” my yard for me… might be time for a fence.

Stabbed him right in the grundle.

My gaming chair, while comfortable, is woefully under cushioned. I actually bought the exact cushion labs product in the picture and have spent many a long day sitting on it gaming away without any complaints besides it occasionally shifts on the chair. One of these days, I’ll upgrade to a better chair, but in the meantime, this was a quick, easy solution that has worked well for the last two years now.

I loved my original oculus. I thought it was very well built. I loved it right up until having a Facebook account became mandatory… now I love my value index.

Did you try using the search term “concord”? It’s the first game to pop up when you do.

Are you sure about that? My cholesterol has been looking mighty high lately.

Neither are coyotes, at least not by nature. They may live in a pack, but they typically travel and hunt solo or in pairs.

Oh, continuing down that line of thinking leads to far worse then “kinda fucked up.” If the judeo christian deity exists and is accurately described by their books than it is a total monster not worthy of praise or devotion…

What I understand about the judeo christian god is that they are believed to have created everything that has ever been or will ever be. They have total knowledge of everything past present and future, and they “knew me” prior to them creating me, knew what kind of person I would be, and knew without doubt that I wouldn’t believe in or worship them… so they created me with full knowledge that I’ll spend eternity being tortured in hell. What kind of benevolent deity brings a creature into existence just so they can be tortured? If that’s not full blown fucked up, then I don’t know what is.

When you’re brainwashed from birth, it’s difficult to recognize you’ve been brainwashed.

I strongly disagree with that statement… tools are useful.

Didn’t say I agreed with it, but if you sign a code of ethics as part of an employment contract, then you shouldn’t be surprised when you’re fired for violating it.

The University of Wisconsin has a code of ethics that all faculty must adhere to. His participation in creating pornography most likely breached this morality clause, resulting in his termination.

You’re not alone. I was trying to figure out which race was the Sikh’s until I realized I’m just an idiot lol.

There have been over 18,000 different gods, goddesses, and various animals or objects worshipped by humanity since we started writing our history, and likely countless more that have been lost to time. The majority of these worshipped deities are no longer believed in, and the fact we as a species have been unable to move beyond the fairytales of omnipotent gods told during the bronze age will never cease to amaze me.

Religion in all its various current forms is a tool of manipulation used against the masses to keep them complacent and scared. That being said, even though I tend to lean towards an atheististic view, I will concede that the possibility exists of a higher life form we may consider as a god. If such a life form does exist, it would be so far beyond our ability to comprehend that any claim to know what it expects of us is pure human foolishness or intended maliciously to control the ignorant.

I live my life by the simple principle that if a god exists and is a just god then I’ll be judged by my actions in this life, whether I caused harm to others or lived well doing what I’m able to make the world better, and not on whether or not I believed in and worshipped them. If a god exists that would punish me for all eternity for not worshipping them, then they are not a just god, and as such would be unworthy of such devotion. Bottomline is we will never know as long as we live, and with as short as our lives are, why waste them worrying about what we can never know. Just live your life well, be kind to others, and be the best you that you can be.
