>An axe-wielding rapist is mentally sick. As is the god found in the bible, if you've ever read it start to finish instead of (like most people) cherrypicking choice quotes from what you heard the pastor tell you some sunday morning.

Would you punish your unconditionally loved child by dropping them into a volcano for eating at red lobster? There's spankings, and then there's the whole mass murder/eternal damnation combo thing.

Yeah, and also Jesus saying that all the laws and codes from the old testament are still valid. Better put all the girls on the rag outside your home once a month, or god'll get real angry. You won't like him when he's angry!

Yeah, this is about when you run into that whole "how can you have free will if god is supposed to be omnipotent" problem that's been dogging various religions for centuries...

>God, not being a rapist, does not force anyone to love Him. Does anyone else find this quote hilarious? It's like saying "John, not being a rapist, does not force anyone to have sex with him" when the guy's presently in a backalley wit

Seconding this! haha. Have a good holiday, both of you.

I'm really glad things are better for you. I hope they continue to improve.

True. Still, I found independent reading from library books to be much more informative than the liberal arts electives I was forced to take (and pay for) as GEC reqs on the exact same subjects. Penalized for pursuing education, no. Penaliz

There are schizophrenia genes in my family. I can't wait until I'm past the typical time of onset, because thinking of losing my mind like your friend did is one of my deepest and most terrible fears.

Ha! I'm the same way. It's so damn slow compared to how much I can put down in the same time if I were on my mechanical keyboard instead. I always hated high school in class essays because all I could think was that I'd be able to write 3x

I don't really have a lot of guidance to offer you, OP, but I sympathize with your situation and hope that someone else is able to help you in the way that you need. Best of luck.

Don't most people see psychologists, though? Psychiatrists cost much more, so most people see the less rigorously schooled psychologists instead due to insurance policies. That's been my impression of it, anyway. You really don't have to be

That's good. I remember reading an article a while back about the working conditions in amazon warehouses and it sounded really unpleasant. I don't think it was this article exactly, but this one is pretty similar: http://www.mcall.com/new

I assumed he meant you shouldn't take things like "Calculus for the liberal arts major" classes, but now I'm really not quite sure.

Yeah, everyone's different, plus it depends a lot on the situation (short message vs. long message, importance, is there an attachment, etc). Most of the people I know who insist on facebook messages -only- are more the type that can't figu

They probably all committed suicide. It's a really common end for GLBT, unfortunately.

Oddly, I think their warehouse employees might beg to differ. (Especially right now, since it's the middle of the Christmas rush.)

Whenever I'd try to visit a news link on facebook that one of my other friends had read (and had it autopost to the timeline) it would always try to get ME to sign up as well. I'm really suspicious of that stuff, so I always refused it and

You are correct. Agender or nongendered are both fine (with me, anyway, but I think generally too).

It's not really about seeing how long you can stomach being a starbucks barista with your $100,000 english degree either, haha. I think there's a good medium between the two that most people fail to notice--it's good not to be too obsessed

Most federal loans these days are at 6.8%, and max out at around $5,000/year for undergrads (which is only half the cost of tuition at a state uni here). Private loans tend to lean more towards 8-12%. Also, good luck even qualifying for the

This was really interesting! It's great to see someone taking a quantitative approach to design. Art schools would never teach an algorithmic approach to kerning, but for the programmers/artists who are smart enough to learn it, a breakthro

They can adopt. There are so many foster kids who need a good home. :(

I don't have any interest in having kids, but I really don't think that wanting artificial insemination means that you're secretly heterosexual. in nature it's a strictly heterosexual deal It's actually quite natural for other orientation

The question isn't if the dropout rate of minorities is higher, the question is, do more minorities graduate than if there wasn't AA? If so, then AA is having some positive effect. Actually, this is something that can be studied in the fo
