Should I be proud/glad I have no clue who that is?
Should I be proud/glad I have no clue who that is?
Not at least understanding the difference seems irresponsible.
Clearly not.
I find this a seemingly straight-forward point I’ve never gotten a religious person to acknowledge.
99.99999% of people follow the religion they do because their parents did. Not because it’s true. That Christian, that Hindu, that Jew. It’s just because they were told it was true at birth.
If their religion was actually the Truth, why would that be the case…?
For the same sort of reasons there are (generally) 12 months in a year and there are 7 days on a calendar, and for the same reason that “John” is a name, and why London is placed where it is, and etc?
Because some dudes decided some stuff, and some other dudes decided some stuff influenced like that, and so on. And some stuff got changed, and some stuff was inconvenient to change or there was no real reason to change it.
The year is ironic in the exact context you quoted I guess. But the days of the week and many months were named for other mythologies.
Doesn’t sound like you know much about atheists.
but it seems to me that even a damn dog can make a creative guess about how the world works
…it can?
With the things you tried it did.
Believe me, I was part of a team testing compatibility.
Which is weird, since Win2k definitely had lower hardware compatibility than XP, Vista, 7, etc.
It wasn’t consumer-focused and just didn’t have the driver compatibility from vendors yet.
That’s not true at all.
I definitely wasn’t happier with my computer back then.
TempleOS it is.
I’d love summer if it was like spring the whole time. Without the pollen.
Those elephant-sized sloths seem pretty cool.
They’d be popular, sure. But no way as popular and in public imagination as all the behemoths.
Like, there were a ton of dog-sized dinosaurs. You’ve never seen or heard of most of them.
Like, on dating sites?
Edit: Ok, looked it up. No, I wouldn’t be answering personal ads from this guy :)
I guess I saw the IT Crowd episode that must have been referencing this.
