Ex-mormon, the canon is that to go to “outer darkness” you need to have perfect faith in god, like you know he exists as you know your dog exists, and still deny him. So practically the only people on earth eligible to go there are those who’ve actually seen him or have been sufficiently convinced by one of his angels or miracles, or otherwise witnessed some heavenly shit like that that sheds all doubt, which is why Hitler probably didn’t go there. Also now that I’m remembering this, the “outer darkness” isn’t really a place, you just get shunned by god (light being a metaphor for god and truth)

Tbf, were you on lemmy last summer?

The Netflix-by-mail thing came in real handy for this

GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE!

Can confirm, I used to daily an 07 focus and it went through door handles like tires

Yeah I’ve gotten pretty good with swipe typing

IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE SUN

I’ve been hearing a lot about this “everything that’s manmade, tall, and narrow is a phallus” theory the last few years, online and even in some college courses. Frankly, I don’t really buy it. Disclosure, this is totally out of my field, so feel free to set my take on fire if I’m wrong. I don’t doubt that the phallus explanation is true in a few cases, but for most towers, spires, steeples, and other pointy monuments, there’s a couple of other possible inspirations that seem more likely to me. The first would be the upright and narrow stance of humans as opposed to animals standing on four legs close to the ground, like a monument to human exceptionalism. Another theory that I would buy is that tall things just look cool to us on an instinctual level. Trees, mountains, and cliffs are beautiful and are more easily personified than other natural features (relating back to the first point). They have this dignity and magesty about them, it makes sense that our architecture and art would attempt to convey that.

I don’t know, I guess I’m just projecting when I say this, but I just can’t imagine designing a building with cool spikes and thinking “these represent my dick”.

Shit I had one of those. Now I’m feeling all nostalgic remembering fidgetting with the slider

This is just asking for a horror movie adaptation. It starts when the main character sees one looking at them at the edge of their vision, but they turn and it isn’t. By the end it’s basically puppet zombies and everybody from the first act has turned into a puppet

the D is on hold atm

Okay good but what about their band?

There was that Voltron reboot that was on Netflix about a decade ago. Granted I was a teenager back then, but I remember liking it

I’ve met people who were certain that bugs weren’t animals

Does Bacillus Cereus look like a bitch?

I dunno, I don’t just ignore ads, I find them repulsive, like my scam-alarms go off even when I know that it’s probably a legit product. Seriously unless I get a recommendation from an actual person, the brand I’ve never heard of feels safer to me then the brand I saw a cheap ad for on some janky website. Maybe it’s because so much of the stuff I had growing up was knockoff/store brand, so I’ve hardly ever actually experienced anything that I saw an ad for.

Oh neat, that makes sense given the Babylonians base-60 numbering system

They’re asking which distro. They said they already tried Ubuntu and didn’t care for it

Yup restaurant food is drugs and it’s turning the fricken frogs GAY

Tbf his music is kinda ugly too… in a cool way

K, so the web client. I just checked out the website and it looks like it’s coloring words that tend to be common tokens in programming languages, like “if” and “with”. That wasn’t me applying the colors, that was your client, I just wrapped text in " ` " or " ``` “. The actual comment is just Markdown formatting
