You should read Revolt of the Angels.

Have you read the Bible? The only evil shit that Satan does is when he fucks up Job’s life, and that’s in collusion with God. Meanwhile, God is doing evil on almost every page of the Old Testament.

The reason we’re supposed to hate Satan is because he rebelled against God. Again, if you’ve read the Old Testament, you have dozens of good reasons to rebel against God.

This train of thought is what lead to the creation of Satanism as a literary movement in the 19th century and then as a religion in the late 20th century.

Huh. Interesting. Do you know any WWII scholars who will back you up on this?

Oh shit yeah. Fuck all of that.

Then asking them to clean their dishes and having them argue with you…

They didn’t use the Roman alphabet. They used hieroglyphs. The Spanish were the ones who came up with that spelling.

Now, why did the Spanish decide that X should make a “sh” sound? I don’t know, but I can guess. I don’t think that the “sh” sound is present in Spanish, so they decided to use a letter that they didn’t use much (or at all) to represent it: X. But in English, X inside of a word makes a “ks” sound, so when the word was read by English speakers, they said “acks-oh-lawtl”.

I just pulled that out of my ass, though.

ETA: Okay, did a little research. It looks like the letter X is used in Spanish, and it used to have a “sh” sound, but it changed over time.

Sometimes when a word gets borrowed from another language, the pronunciation comes along, too. Sometimes not. Every dictionary here says we aren’t using the Nahuatl pronunciation. It isn’t a thing, no matter what some guy on YouTube is saying.

Not in English it ain’t.

Who is the threadiverse’s first?

My anus is bleeding!

I never have this problem, but I always install with pacman.

I found learning Linux much more fun, because I didn’t have to fight with the computer on every damned thing.

my time on this earth is finite (for now)

Let me know when you get that immortality hack working!

It’s more like having only one pair of shoes. There isn’t usually a compelling reason to change them frequently, so you only need one.

And then sell you the cure.

My favorite was the boss who told me that I just had to put myself out there. This after blaming me for not being at a meeting which no one had told me about. So, I guess if you’re being kept out of the loop on important work stuff, it’s your own fault because you have a bad attitude.

This is all subconscious shit that marketers have to deal with. There’s a good article about it here. What bothers me is not knowing what unconscious biases like this that I have.

One thing that I do is randomly select varieties of things that I buy (wrt color, scent, etc.) I can’t think of a time that I’ve ever regretted doing that.

The whole “long hair = gay” thing is such weird boomer shit. It’s right up there with believing that gay men wear dresses and makeup.

It’s not even 21st century homophobia. It’s like something out of the 1950s.

It says “rain”, not “petrichor”, though. Petrichor is the smell you get when rain hits dry earth.

That’s not funny! My brother died that way!

Aw yisss

Also the sound the campfire makes when the rain hits it.
