Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

That's not a myth, that's a hypothesis. We can't prove which differences in the past would result in which differences in the present. We do know that certain religious beliefs, objects, and locations are used as excuses to do horrible things to people. Abrahamic religions, having a rather nasty basis for their beliefs, and very strong connections to contested locations, not to mention massive numbers, are used as the excuse for a rather immense number of atrocities. While it's quite likely that religious assholes would still be assholes if they didn't have the excuse of their religion, it's fairly natural for someone to assume they are, in fact, assholes for the reasons they claim, and so to wish that excuse did not exist. It's not entirely rational, but it's a pretty normal response when frustrated.
It's like when a kid who is being beaten with a belt tries to hide the belt.
definitely a classic.
shhhhiiiiiit man.
try and enjoy it but you probably won't be able to.
Yeah. I was pretty unhappy to hear about his beliefs.
He's now on that growing list with such fellows as Card, Cruise, and Beck.
Sometimes it's better this way. Isaac Newton was a nutjob. So was Bobby Fischer and Blaise Pascal.
Edit: Also, if it's untestable it's a poor hypothesis.
The sandwich is kicking all kinds of ass so far. I applaud my prescience in hitting the deli counter before going to the bar.
what would you do if Prince WASN'T a nutjob?
yes, that was wise.
and I don't mean smart or a good call, I mean wise. something most people only learn after years of experience.
See: The Prohibition. The reason it began, or so I've heard, is as a response to too many men getting drunk and beating their wives and children.

On the hypothesis: There's only so much shit you can do when pondering alternative histories. So far as we know Stalin was the best thing to happen to the world ever, in the long run.
took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like rootbeer
I'm starting to feel like Charles Bukowski. Really adept at fairly contemptible things.
mmmhmmmmm
normally I'd say you were too old to begin the training but with these sort of ... midichlorian... readings... fuck.
This is the best way to make a sandwich.
I made a drink in the fridge when I got home tonight.
Dude, what the fuck, that's awesome. You did it in the fucking fridge.
I want a sandwich.
I've never made a full sandwich that way. it seems I've become the learner.
then again I haven't tried recently because our fridge beeps if you leave the door open for more than about 15 seconds.
If you don't have to compress the sammich in a skin of Saran wrap to eat it, it's a sub-par sammich at best.
The fridge beeping is a test to you to see if you comply with meaningless commands issued iwth no authority. It's not like after three beeps your fridge grows teeth and slams itslef shut with you still standing there.
Though it would be pretty cool.
it's loud and grating though.
It's a whole wheat bread slice fold-over. I'm not sure about the classification of that one.
People dog on Kevin Smith but the guy is funny as hell.
It's also amusing that Prince is a huge Dogma fan. Dogma is also my favorite Kevin Smith film.
no doubt. turkey or chicken is how I start most of my sandwiches.
actually I shouldn't even talk. I haven't had a respectable sandwich is probably 6 months.
A "mess?"
You totally have to add Fridge as some modifier to the D&D d20 Sandwich Making Instruction post.
I prefer the muscular swisses like Jarlsburg or gruyere, but I went with baby swiss on this outing. Baby swiss melts nicely and plays well with other sandwich elements.
Obeying that fridge is what's keeping you from becoming a jedi.
That sounds fucking awesome. I wish I had that right now.
