Yes. And it’s very important that the laptop is closed.

You may laugh, but I legit started playing Skyrim again this week.
Playing as an Orc specializing in two-handed hammers and heavy armor, who always immediately does what any NPC asks him to do (completely forgetting the last quest he was on), eats or drinks whatever he finds, and kills all Imperials on sight.

The background makes no sense to me. Where is the table?
What’s going on with the glass door in the bottom left corner?

It wasn’t intentional, the author pushed the headline out during a meeting.

Yes, because its brain isn’t sophisticated enough to experience fear.

When I was around 20 and looking for purpose in life, I actually really tried to get into Christianity.
I mean, they seemed to have a light guiding them through life, something that takes away the feeling of senselessness and chaos in the world. I especially loved the idea that “you can never fall deeper than into god’s hand”.
So I prayed to god to show me the way to him, went to the local church every Sunday, and started reading the bible.
All of it. Cause I obviously wanted to know what I was supposed to believe in. And it completely killed my desire to become a Christian.

The only way to make sense of it, for me, was to interprete the old testament as a collection of the stories that goat herders told each other to make sense of world history, followed by a heavily propagandized history of the Israelite people, legitimizing their claim to Israel after displacing and genociding the people who had lived there before.
The new testament is the story of a wandering preacher who tried to establish an early version of peaceful communism.
But when that became too popular, the Roman state embraced and co-opted the message and turned it into the basis of a hierarchical state church, which later turned into Christianity as we know it today.

Since I read God’s book while praying to God and that was the interpretation I was left with, I have to assume, it’s the one God agrees with ;)

That sounds like actual hell.

It’s already (2 minutes) past 10 now, I’ll start being productive at 11.
But now I feel peckish and 11 is almost noon, I’ll start after I had lunch, so I can concentrate better.
Well, at 1pm I’ll have to start preparing to leave the house, and that’s just half an hour from now.

“So, did you change the bed sheets like I asked?”

If you ask me to tell you about me, and follow up with “what else?” then this is going to be a short date.

Or when (not if) you’ve lost the last shard of your sanity?
