you know what was pretty bad?

it removed my ability to orgasm
like, i could get it up, and use it, and that would feel nice
but i could never finish
ever
that was hell
i am glad i am not on that drug anymore
One of those things I could have done without knowing duder
Microsoft itself doesn't write drivers. Or at least very few. They work with the hardware manufacuters to get drivers from them to include on the disk.
And, beyond pure profit, another reason Apple doesn't go this route is they want to maintain their false impression of technical competence over Windows.
You know when you get a crash and you get that "send error report to microsoft" things? Well from all the hundreds of millions of those that have ever been sent an absolutely absurd number are a result of shitty driver code made by people other than Microsoft (over 50% from video card drivers alone). But Windows gets the blame.
That's not true.
Dude, that sounds amazing.
I remember the very first time I orgasmed and I thought: This is it, my ability to masturbate for 9+ hours a day is gone.
I cried I think.
I want OS X on my shitty computer!
wahhhhhhh
here comes the wahhhhhmbulance
You can't just make up usages for a word, especially when those usages don't make a lick of sense.
Shitty cookies. Pfeh. See if you get to compete in the cute photo contest ever again.
So they're similar to a lot of Catholics?
If you go with their translation of the Bible, and actually believe in the book of course, then the occupancy limit is quite clear.
Just a good example of why good translations are so important.
They never really made any hay about their religion. They gave off the impression of caring more about gaming than anything else.
Their maintaining the belief makes the weirdos. One of the things which irritates me (of the great many things which irritate me) is when people seperate a person's belief from the person's way of acting.
I don't even jerk it very often anymore
I literally have no excitement in my life
I'm pretty sure that the guys who stopped me on the sidewalk do not think their religion batshit crazy.
explain
i am not sure what you mean here
No, bullshit! Of course I can.
I can do whatever the hell I want.
You know who else made up usages for words: SHAKESPEARE
It's how language changes. By my whim, just like how everything else on this sad planet happens. Mwhahahahahahahahha.
I saw Jack Nicholson's butt in Something's Gotta Give.
I know most religions are a dodge for a power grab, mormonism seems to distinctly limit females so as to always put them under males in a really ugly way.
Great the fucking moron brought her baby to work today, smart lady I might have swine flu and you've got your suspectible to life threatening flu 6 month old.
suck it up babby
if I can hackintosh so can you
although I still have yet to try it with snow leopard
Yeah.
He's saying that it's not okay to be like "Yeah that person's beliefs are crazy, but he's actually a cool dude and not that crazy."
I could get behind him on this when talking about, say, neo-nazis, but not so much with most organized religions.
Yes how dare those people not judge them by something that 9 times out 10 will not be an issue.
Well this discussion got started specificially talking about Mormon missionaries. To give some context.
Though a disturbingly high percentage of Mormons are missionaries at some time in their lives.
Let me cough on you.
You can have the excitement of a life an death struggle.
most of any religion, really
Ask an everyday christian if they think people can rise from the dead, and they'll probably say no. But they believe in the ressurection, right? And of them believe that jesus will return someday. But if someone says they're jesus they're probably going to think they're crazy.
That is one thing that athiests get wrong, most religious people, I think, don't believe in literal interpretation of scriptures. It's not about that, it's usually how they were raised, it provides a sense of right and wrong, a sense of community and comfort. It's like any other facet of culture.
Maybe that's why they were so chill.
They got it out of their system.
Unless you have the plague it's not going to work
And even then I'll find some way to not catch it
Because I am just that fucking boring
Please kill me
Oh, aren't you sweet.
The truth, the objective, universal truth, if you believe in such a thing, isn't that important.
Some of the most beautiful things in the world are lies.
Religion, even stupid, nonsense religions, can excuse people doing terrifying things and encourage horrific actions.
And also bring hope and joy and a reason to stay alive.
So let's not judge, or shred people's religious views out of a twisted sense of 'fun', okay?
Every noise Shakespeare ever uttered was added to the English language
I think a good example is Mike Huckabee.
Mike Huckabee can tell Chuck Norris jokes, act pleasantly, and be generally cheerful. But he's also a crazy wingnut ultra-conservative who, if your sister were raped and became pregnant, would force her to have the child. So if someone assesses Mike Huckabee soley on his "being a nice guy" without recognizing the batshittery of his beliefs I get pissed off. Because Mike Huckabee is a malevolent shitstain whose beliefs make him intolerable despite his ability to tell Chuck Norris jokes.
That's my issue. When we say "Oh, this person acts nicely in social situations" and ignore things like the person's belief that if a woman is raped and becomes pregnant we need to prevent her from having an abortion at all costs, thus ensuring that the rape-baby is born and is a burden on the welfare of the rape victim.
This is true. I just think the cognitive dissonance is more evident with Catholics than say Methodists, due to the stricter and more dogmatic nature of Catholic beliefs, and the fact that they seem to ignore so many facets of their religion just as frequently as other sects.
