Your insides will boil out of your eye sockets like a science fair volcano.

Your original comment could be taken in various tones and they wanted a clarification. For what it's worth, it is useful to some to hear it, since it could help people see differences between the US and other countries. It's just said in a way that felt more like "Butchers don't do this" rather than "As the contrast, I don't see this done in my country". Either way though, in the spirit of the question it is sorta off topic.

It's like asking "Why does this currency have this person on it?" and getting the answer "I've never seen that currency used anywhere I lived." While true, it's not really relevant, doesn't answer the question, and can either be taken as a long winded way to say "I don't know" or stubborn self centered everything worth knowing is centered around your own experiences. Which is definitely reading into it too much, but there are people who act like that, either as trolls or real jingoists.

Nah. My name starts with Chat that is pronounced Shat. I grew up with my name being joked at being equated to shit by immature people. It's easy to get over. Every chat someone types out or references is not me. Same with every shit or shat. People need to get over themselves.

I do like pretending everytime someone asks "Chat, is this blah?" that they're talking to me, but only as a joke. I'm in no way personally offended.

but I also pretty much guarantee its gonna be a talking point on A. Jones show

I smell wonkery afoot.

Crap, I read your comment backwards and thought you meant who the hell doesn't use kb/m. Hehe, ignore it. I'm very team controller.

I preferred it. Some people are more used to rapid movement types from a controller more than keyboard and mouse. I do use keyboard and mouse for some games, but for ones with this kinda feel in the way camera and moves work, I prefer controller. Monster Hunter is another I prefer controller on, as is FFXIV. Horizon Zero Dawn also.

Stuff like Mass Effect, Ark, Enshrouded, Deep rock, helldivers, dark tide are all mouse and keyboard.

People have different preferences and different muscle memory.

I think I like Hades more on controller too.

Which usually includes implied "follow my religious beliefs to be eligible." A big difference between personal giving and allowing a social safety net is the decision to limit who gets your money. Which I do get; I want my team dollars going to stuff that helps everyone, like welfare, education, transportation, etc, not to military industrial complex or subsidies for already massive and union busting billionaires.

Still, on the conservative side it tends to aim more towards extremely limited targets, usually filtered through a lens of bigotry.

Aren't there some d6 stuff too?

Not that I'm gonna claim the Bible is consistent, bu5 Ecc 9:5 basically say the dead are aware of nothing. People who believe often argue this one is a metaphor instead of the ones about Eternal punishment.

I grew up JW myself, but they believe dead is dead, and don't believe in eternal torment. They do still believe in heaven and in eternal life, to come at a different time, so it's not like they don't believe the fantasy stuff as well, they just agree with no eternal torment.

I like coffees flavor (not necessarily the bitter part, but it doesn't bother me much). It's not really from repeated exposure: caffeine doesn't quite work right for me, and coffee gives me anxiety and stomach issues, wo I don't drink it often but do like the flavor. Beer is somewhat opposite: I have drank a lot of alcohol(cutting back much more nowadays) but I still find most beer not tasty... though there was this one coffee beer that was really good.

My goto is actually unsweetenee Soju, with lime added. It has a very mild flavor and the lime takes away the alcohol aftertaste.

I used to like sweet stuff but I've always drank green tea unsweetened, and for the most part unless it's honey I don't like sweeteners in tea. Coffee can go both ways, especially for caramel, and hot chocolate is sweet of course, though I haven't had any for at least a year.

Once I gave up soda other things naturally started tasting too sweet for me, and I gave up soda in general 15-20 years ago. I drink it on occasion, but it always leaves a gross sticky syrupy feeling in mouth and throat.

I read a bunch of webcomics, and I currently read a bunch of manga, mahwa, manhua, web novels, and yes, still some webcomics. I have some favorites, but some aren't that good and are just junk food.

Ctrl Alt Del was never a favorite, nor something I'd check all the time, but every once in a while I'd click through it and read some of it. I probably read it similarly often as Penny Arcade, which didn't really appeal duper heavily to me either.

Not really. I've switched from wired to wireless because of the number of headphones I've destroyed getting the cable stuck so bad it yanks my body. My ears never hurt from it; just slightly disoriented and audio only working for one bud/side now. Eventually it was too annoying and I switched to full bluetooth wireless. I won't argue against cables being better for audio, but for me they arent.

Narrator: it wasn't.

... you piece of shit.

Last prescription I got was antibiotics and steroids for an ear infection. The doctor indeed did give me dosage and schedule. Then the pharmacy also gave me instructions, and they were different. Seeing how each Doctor hopefully keeps up with their field and most likely can't really with others, I'd say the pharmacy instructions are usually safer unless the patient has specific circumstances only the prescribing doctor is aware of.

What if mine was given to me by a watery tart?

America has been on the path for a while though, with the John Birch Society and the like working from the background. They've been around since the 1958, and lots of their literature and networks fostered the turn. Others like Bill Cooper, Alex Jones, etc, were active in the 90s and affected by JBS. Waco also had already ocurred.

OKC has some influences from Cooper, and the JBS and other right wing people initially thought OKC was a huge setback for inroads with general audiences, and kept working to change how people feel. Tea party was a huge comeback for them, as people who knew of the JBS warned the Tea Party was just a resurgence.

I don't know if Lucas or other writers knew at the time, so you might be right. However, there were people warning about it back then, just not really heard or paid much attention to.

Odd, I've had several in my room in my last place, but they didn't seem territorial or aggressive to humans. Sometimes too close I'd worry I'd hurt it but other than that...

Hickory what?! Smoked WHAT?!

As someone who escaped, "God is love" as well as knowing gay people always was something a bit hard to reconcile, but not as much as you think. See, if you take all the sins in the Bible, or even just the ones in 1 Cor 6:9-11, then almost everyone in the world is a sinner. It works better on a sect that is small and consider most mainstream religions wrong, along with enough isolationism.

I neve4 had a blinding hatred for gay people, and had friends etc. To past me, a gay person was just as sinful as anyone who had sex outside of marriage. The passage above lists fornication, adultery, drunkards, revelers and such with what some translate as homosexuality(iirc there's some who believe it meant pederasty instead.) A reviler isn't really that bad in the grand scheme of things, and almost everyone I knew outside the religion had sex before marrriage.

Combined with little articles explaining homosexual feelings weren't sinful, but acting on them were(same article pointing out straight people had to avoid sin in similar ways) I was fooled into thinking a weird "Well, I don't agree with it, but it's God's rule and it's his house..."

I think part of it also was that I definitely did not consider myself "better", as I hated myself for "breaking God's law" by masturbating to porn. I didn't even do it that much, but if I got tempted enough I would hate myself for months on end, considering 6 months not doing so to be not quite adequate, and considering myself not worthy of romantic relationships due to my "problem."

In a religion where everyone falls short of God's glory, I didn't really rank the sins, and tended to push to the back of my mind the things that didn't feel right.

Religion strongly discourages thinking for yourself, even if you think something is OK. It tells you that you're not good enough to make those decisions yourself, because see what happened when Adam and Eve did that? Cognitive Disonance is a feature.
