Wait, so you’re telling me that if I pretend to believe in an imaginary being, I can feel special?
It sounds tempting. Can I also attack anyone personally if they question my belief as if they’ve attacked me as a person?
And I also always really wanted to tell people that they hate god, even though they say he doesn’t even exist. I’m sure this somehow violates every law of logic in existence, but I really want to.
Can I justify killing people for believing in the same god as me but slightly different?
Also, well, this one is a bit odd: I have this urge to tell people who they are allowed to have sex with. If your belief allows me to do all this, I’m on board.

Here’s a crazy idea, hear me out: What if there is no god?
- Comment on Substack prompted a Nazi blog again 1 week ago:
As a German it’s completely mind boggling to me that some societies tolerate an ideology that is responsible for plunging the world into its biggest humane catastrophe (so far), for the sake of free speech. Nazi ideology wants to kill free speech. If you truly want to protect free speech, you have to at least limit it to all the things that do not threaten it.

You should try my cheeseburger, brother.
Patties are beef mixed with unholy amounts of shredded parmeggiano. Add extra mature cheddar. Glazed onions. Sour pickle. German extra strong mustard. And bacon marmalade.

Americans think Big Bang Theory is the funniest sitcom ever, and whenever a foreign word sounds like a funny English one, they lose their shit. And then they tell Germans about their sense of humor…

There’s a satirical movement in Germany called “Front deutscher Äpfel” (front of German apples). One of their slogans is “Was gibt der deutschen Jugend Kraft? Apfelsaft! Apfelsaft!” (“What gives German youth strength? Apple juice! Apple juice!”) They would approve.

As much as it pains me to admit you’re right, you appear to have hit the nail on the head.

I believe there’s a much broader spectrum as straight, gay, bi. I was never sure where I belong on this scala.
Like, I thought I was straight during my entire teens. Sometimes in the early 2000s, I discovered the joys of online porn, and then found that the guys in porn sometimes seemed more interesting to me than they should. But having sex with a guy? No way. I thought.
So I spent my life, a below average looking guy, starved for sex for a long time, except the occasional awkward and underwhelming experience with humans of the female persuasion. Smoking a lot of weed to fill the internal void. One day, met a fellow weed smoker online. Lived nearby, gamer. Knew where to get good weed. After a couple of weeks we met. He told me he was gay. I was like, alright, sure. We played NHL Hockey and smoked a lot of weed. He asked me if he could suck my dick. Stoned as fuck, I said yes. Best blowjob I’ve ever had. But then, I ghosted him. Why? No idea. Couldn’t face the fact that I might be bi? Not sure to this day.
In my late 30s, I got married. And turns out once we were married, my wife turned asexual. So now I’m stuck in a straight life with no joy and no sex, getting closer to 50 every day. Even had to quit smoking weed. Boy, do I regret ghosting that guy.
So to this day, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t turn down a gay guy if an opportunity arose, even though I lean more towards women. I’m just a guy leading a sad existence in the closet and this comment turned out to be a much gloomier confession than I intended it to be when I started typing. Sorry.

I’ve started working in IT over 20 years ago. In my humble opinion, one of the keys is being specialized on something that not everyone else can do. Become proficient in a certain area - devops, quality assurance, security, whatever.
On top of that, try and acquire a niche skill that makes you the type of employee that’s hard to find and replace. For example, banks are really desperate to find Cobol experts because most of them are pensioners now.
I know it’s tough, and I wish you had it as easy as I did back in the days, but it’s all I can tell you, unfortunately.

You’re welcome! You’ll love it. There are tons of Youtube videos about this, btw.
And there are tons of great things you can do with it - for example:
Blend the soft garlic with parmeggiano, spread on slice of ciabatta, sprinkle with cheese, bake until golden brown, sprinkle some garlic oil and parsley. That’s fantastic garlic bread.

120°C is good. Cook for at least one hour. Add aromatics like thyme or rosemary if you feel like it.
- Comment on Moar garlic 3 months ago:
I just prefer a good olive oil. The confit is way better used on pasta that way. But you’re right, rapeseed oil might be a better choice if you don’t want it to solidify.
- Comment on Moar garlic 3 months ago:
I always have some emergency garlic confit in the fridge.
Take an ovenproof baking dish, fill with peeled garlic cloves, cover cloves with high quality olive oil. Cover with tin foil. Cook for one hour in oven, low temperature.
Store in glasses. Will keep for weeks. Or months in fridge, although the oil will become solid.
Use it for whatever needs a garlic boost.

Well in that case, if a religious person accuses you that you hate their god, it’s still not true. Because that religious person thinks of their god as a real entity, while you hate their concept of god. The target of that hate is not the same.

That’s as may be, but that’s not the word that was used in the meme.

No atheist hates god. How can you hate something you don’t think exists?
- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 4 months ago:
Even if the judiciary system in your country doesn’t do its work, people taking justice in their own hands is a fundamentally bad thing for a society. I don’t pity predators if they get what they deserve, but I pity the society that suddenly has to define boundaries - where do you draw the line? Not all cases are clear cut. Not everyone operates on the same set of morals. Example: Religious zealots really do believe that abortions kill children. If society doesn’t categorically forbids people to take justice into their own hands but goes “well, in this case, we can all understand”, you will have other people acting in ways they perceive as equally justifiable. The users who downvoted me don’t seem to have this understanding, they would rather have revenge. If you people don’t understand that self-justice will ultimately lead to a more violent society, then go ahead, downvote me again. You’re the reason your country isn’t a more civilized place, wherever you live.

Is that really the only problem you see with people taking justice into their own hands? Less oversight?
- Comment on XPipe - A connection hub for all your servers: Status update for the v15 release 4 months ago:
I happily pay for software. ONCE. I have no idea if this software will be regularly updated and if there will be new features. How do we know the developer won’t abandon the project? And it’s a lone developer, apparently. Ever heard of the bus factor? Give me a license that enables me to use the product in its current form indefinitely, and I might consider buying it. But a subscription? No thanks. Who does this guy think he is, frickin Adobe?

Good software, but subscription plans are a deal breaker for me.
