Who? Me or Kobayashi? :)

Heh. I understand. Lost my dad (or rather found out he was dead and had the honour of informing the rest of the family) in mid November. He died September 28th. Damn guy was my hero for the first 18 years of my life, fucked off for the next 11, and literally the same email chain we were using to negotiate meeting up…

You have a good mom.

Yep, this is correct.

Yeppers. Apparently there’s even references to Jesus traveling through India in the Vedas. Haha ya, I’ve always found theology interesting from a narrative/historical standpoint. And indeed, reiki and other things like it is pretty much the same idea!

No problem! My family wasn’t exactly Christian or otherwise religious either (nor am I), but I did have the displeasure of spending 12 years in the Catholic school system. Hmm, the Holy Spirit is kind of hard to define. It’s sort of like the force through which all “God’s” divinity flows. For instance, there’s a point…

Well, technically he does. This is because “God” in the modern Christian context is in fact a sort of three sided deity (also known as the Trinity). There is God the Father, who is the guy in the clouds everyone thinks they are praying to, Jesus as God the Son, and the Holy Spirit, which is a little harder to explain.…

Hahaha, I wanna print these out for my niece and nephews. My brother and sister-in-law would totally love it. Where’d you find em?

I actually like Latinao! Never would have thought of that. It does sound kinda Portuguese though lol

As learned by Maru ;)

Kobayashi.

I knew someone would ;D

I know. Same goes for Doublethink... I see it everywhere, and I try to talk about it with people who haven’t read/internalized 1984 but many people look at me like I have 2 heads...

As usual, Rooo speaks truth ;)

Pretty sure you’re right. I got followed by Splinter and now I’m in the black over there, but as you can see, only on Splinter.

“A gun designed to kill Americans”... Wouldn’t that also cover any pistol designed for police use? I’m not even being cheeky here- that is precisely what they are for. Not that most people who would refer to a Vietnamese AA gun the same way would probably realize it...

“And then Rose did the Nay Nay...” made me giggle helplessly.

Toronto wasn’t any better. We hit -40c with windchill for a couple days. The entire harbour froze

You, sir and/or madame, get a star.
