The Historian

First car was a 1992 Mercury Sable that I got from my grandparents.

Current car is a 2015 Nissan Altima.

yay, broken ass themes!

I remember most of them. But I go a lot further back than I'd say a good chunk of this forum does. xD

Every set rules is meant to offer a parameter or context to that which is without comprehension, to reason. But the result never reflects the more chaotic, or complex nature of reality. So, often, philosophies and religious beliefs conflict with each other, because reality itself is being compartmentalized within these incomplete forms of perception. It is a display of glorified ignorance. There's more honesty in watching a simple animal adhere to immediate nature, than to listen to rational ones come up with interpretations for that which escapes their understanding. Though such ignorance signifies the fertile cradle of what is known as culture.

The fundamental answer is because ignorance is the intrinsic nature of life.

I'm not sure I can agree with ignorance being intrinsic. There are some for whom that is the case, but I would posit that, for most, it is not. If your assertion was true, humanity would still be in the darkest of ages. Curiosity is the nature of sapient life, not ignorance.

Fundamentalism is zealotry on overdrive. There's no rhyme or reason for it, nor any good justification.

That not I meant, I meant 40 hour work weeks 8 hours a day. Oops.

I know. I was just being silly with your mistake. xD

I used to love the Pokemon anime as a kid. It's probably still fine for kids. But I watch it now, and the only good parts are the times when the "main character" isn't present. They focused on the wrong character because he's so friggin' one dimensional. No real character, just boring. Lineless background ponies in FIM have more character for the love of Celestia! Maybe I'm too harsh. Who knows? I don't watch TV anymore so I don't usually see garbage.

I haven't read reviews from film critics and taken them seriously... ever. I don't let a film critic's opinion influence whether or not I see a movie; I save that for people I know or the general public. They're more apt to align with what I find enjoyable than a film critic. I do, at times, read film critic reviews on movies I've seen to see their take. Sometimes you do get something interesting or thought-provoking out of it, but, usually, it's written in such a way that makes the reviewer sound a little pompous. I might consider what a critic says but I don't heed their suggestion.

I try not to subscribe to garbage youtube channels so I don't need to worry about this kind of thing. The only one I'm considering unsubbing to would be Drift0r but his old Call of Duty content keeps me subscribed. Can't remember the last time I actively unsubscribed...

If I had my choice, probably the standard 8 hour work weeks.

I wish I could only have an eight hour work week. XD

My last VM was from my buddy Scam Likely. Dead air. That guy, always leaving me such classic voicemails.

Personally, I am very anti-religion and believe it's a huge curse to humanity. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut... some people believe in it, and that's fine too. I don't really care if people believe in it. If it brings you hope or comfort? Fantastic. You enjoy. It's when people use it as shield to justify being hateful and vitriolic when I begin to have a really big problem. Believe what you want but don't force it on others and don't use it as a shield against rightful criticism.

Not super great. I think I've got a cold. My throat is scratchy and I feel achy all over.

Neither. I prefer prime numbers.

XD

Four tens is far better but not an option in IT too often unfortunately. I'd rather do the eight hour days from home. Much more convenient.

The top game of all time for me is A Link to the Past. Easily the best Zelda game in the franchise. But there are others that come really close like Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6. But also Ocarina of Time, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Star Fox 64, Super Mario 64... you know, I could list hundreds of console and PC games that I really like.

Unfortunately, the last thing I googled is inappropriate for this place. woops. :p

Criminally? How so?

I don't mean it literally. More in a sense "she's almost too adorable for words." Something like that.

If you had stopped at "I prefer not to do it," I don't think it would have gone anywhere. Your phrasing wasn't exactly benevolent and was a bit... negative towards those who are fine with emulation.

Applejack for sure. Gotta love them country girls. Perfect natural beauty!

I like Fluttershy. She's criminally adorable and, yes, she's attractive. More of an AJ fan, but Flutters is cute as can be.

I use DisplayFusion so I can have loads of sets of wallpapers. Sometimes... it's hard only picking three. Cause... I got three screens. xD

Basically, I'm curios as to why certain people would think death was a good thing.

From someone who's been suicidal, it can be a way to release all mortal pain and cease the agony within. Though, I don't think this is what you mean. I'm going to say you're probably referring to warrior culture where dying in battle is highest glory one can achieve. There is much to be said about that mindset. It comes from a place of pride in knowing that you did your duty and perished doing what you believed was right. There is also reverence for the dead, which is a part of Mexican culture, among many others of course. It's more remembrance than glorification. Few cultures, outside of warrior cultures, have genuinely glorified the idea of dying or death.

I would much rather read Dune as a book than on a tablet. Reading a book on a tablet just feels wrong.

This and being a furry are the only "fandoms" I'm part of. I am, however, still part of the Command & Conquer community... albeit far less so than I used to be.

I got blasted by a tornado during the early March 2017 tornado outbreak. It didn't pass directly overhead thankfully, but the roof... well... it did not fare well. Down to the bare wood.
