I’m curious as to how people toughed it out despite most christian religious institutions being so uniformly corrupt and plain irritating. Shit, the crowd FSTDT dunks on, american politicians, and internet theology were all it took for me to get so deeply disillusioned I wanted to just cut strike everything from my mind, regardless of who’s right or wrong. Merely not having other options? Fear of reprisal from legal and cultural consequences?

Then again, I suppose at that point they would’ve just shifted to a different, less institution-focused denomination instead of just saying “fuck the whole thing” like I did. It wasn’t a matter of the facts, it was a matter of me being fucking sick of them.

On that note, what’s up with the obligate coprophagy of the koala? And their famously smooth brains? I’d make the koala, were it I in the high seat, but a kind and caring creator wouldn’t.

In a weird way, the development of advanced communications and coordination technology has only made it harder for anything to change in a significant way .

Am I gonna have to pay for a vpn that actually lets me fake being outside the ‘states? I usually self host on a VM host to avoid incurring expenses, but it seems like that’s not really an option here. Seems like I might have to go for a AWS instance running PiVPN or something.

Yeah, that’s kind of what I was wondering. Turns out you can’t really do much useful with a self-hosted local VPN, but I like having the option of using one be something my VM host server provides.

Oh hey, I had some good results with Krita when I was still making digital art way back when. It’s been like a decade. I should get myself a new tablet.

Not really having the option to not cope. Or not knowing how to actively choose to not cope. One of the two. For what it’s worth, Tolkein genuinely was on to something with this one.
