    I like the Oatmeal. :/

    I think maybe with that one he did get a bit soapbox-y but I do agree with it on a less extreme level I guess.

    In general he's a bit of a YMMV guy.
  • Well I liked what I'd seen of him before too, but that was just....I mean I'm not sure if that was supposed to be satire or something, but if it wasn't then god damn.

    The fact that the Oatmeal guy decided his opinions on religion where something that warranted comics about is one of the reasons I stopped reading it. 

    He is not above straw-manning, for one.

    Yeah, yeah. I'm not a grammar master.

    The where/were thing was the bane of my college papers. Sadly, it's never gone away despite me working on it. :/

    I just realized something. I think it's healthy to sometimes just create stuff for fun rather than to constantly think about whether humanity deserves extinction or not.

    No, you can have polite discourse regarding religion. The first thing that has to happen is everyone has to realize that everyone (
    everyone) involved will have differing, offensive, and irreconcilable opinions on the matter and nobody will convince anyone else. And the other requirement, which nobody likes to do because that requires someone to step up and be the bad guy, is throw out and/or silence all the jackasses who refuse to abide by the first point there. 

    Going from the first point, the people who annoy me the most in any religious conversation or debate are the ones seeking to please everybody. These people are making it crystal clear that they're pusillanimous pushovers who hold no real conviction on anything, and therefore nothing they say holds any worth.

    And webcomics are okay I guess

    I dunno, I believe in the whole "live and let live" thing. But I also believe pretty strongly in the whole "live and let live" thing, so I don't know if that counts or not.

    In regards to the type of annoying person I'm talking about, they identify as a ___________________ but don't hold themselves to some or all of the standards of said faith or religion that they find inconvenient or just plain don't like. The only religion that I can think of where this sort of thing is acceptable is Unitarianism -- for every other religion, there's going to be something that is objectionable to someone.

  • My dreams exceed my real life
    "There was a project for a Muppet movie that we kept returning to. Jim and I worked on it and just loved it. It grew out of the fact that Jim was talking about finances and if we did another Muppet movie at the time, it would need to be done inexpensively, since we were using bigger and bigger budgets for all our other projects...So we conceived of a movie slated as "The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made." That was the original working title and that later became the subtitle with the title along the lines of, "Into the Teeth of the Demons of Death."

    The idea being that this was a film that Gonzo directed. Kermit was too busy so when Gonzo asked, Kermit said, "Sure, go ahead. I can't take on the responsibilities behind the scenes at this time, but I'll perform in it." So Gonzo wrote this cheesy, terrible plot that made absolutely no sense whatsoever about something being stolen that led to a chase around the world. Unfortunately Gonzo blows half the movie's budget on the opening titles! So as the film progresses, it gets cheaper and cheaper where they're using a shot of the same street corner for every city in the world! We were still talking about this project in the last meeting I ended up having with Jim.

    Every now and then, we still bring up the movie. Six months ago, Frank had said to me, "You know, there's still something in that movie, it would be a lot of fun to do." One thing that kept it from happening though was that for "The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made," it still turned out to be expensive to shoot. Things like a tranquil island blowing up with a volcano and such."

    Snippy as an avatar isn't my thing, though! Or is it? I'm not really sure.

    Found out I got a counterfeit $10 bill.

    It's kind of funny, once I got over the embarrassment. The tenner, I mean. It's actually a good 2 cm shorter than a regular bill, on both sides. At first I was ready to break the kneecaps of every counterfeiter in existence, but now that I see that it's such a poor bill, I'm just like

    Hey, Yarrun!

    So, what exactly happened while I was gone? Or did anything happen in particular?

    Yarrun: Heh. There's probably even worse out there too.

    I remember reading a random internet story a few years ago where someone went to an ATM and found that someone replaced all the $20 bills with random pieces of paper colored in green Sharpie marker.

    Basically, just business as usual around here.

    The forum template was turned to red and black for 13 milliseconds. AU and CA got married and had a wonderful relationship until Qwzra retconned it in a foolish attempt to appeal to the youth. I listened to Rush and didn't like it as much as I expected to; Imi disapproves. Mancrates came back for a day, and the events of that day were classified by the U.S. Secret Service. Also, it turns out that all users on this site are the same person, displaced in time through various dimensions under the orders of an unnamed chessmaster (who's really Nepeta, but don't spoil it; she's so cute when she thinks she's a mastermind).

    Wow, an ad for Peoples Drug. They've been gone for years; they were eaten by CVS in 1990, though they didn't start converting them until 1993 or 1994. 

    Also, MIX 107.3's identity from way back in 1993 has JAM all over it. It sounds quite a lot like the CHR packages Q94 used!
