Quark is the superior creme cheese in all regards, except as a topping for bread rolls.
I feel like sour and chocolate don’t mix well… but there is Quark with chocolate chips and some people like it, I’m just not one of them.
How… how do you know so exactly my activities and thoughts from yesterday evening? (I’m soooo tired)
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt
Just be aware that The Wandering Inn turns into the absolutely longest rambling mess of dozens of viewpount characters.
It’s often lovely, but sometines it just goes on and on and on… It is roughly three times longer than the entire Wheel of Time series, and its word count surpasses War and Peace*, *A Song of Ice and Fire*, *The Lord of the Rings, and The Hunger Games combined and it is still unfinished. Pirateaba writes like a mad person.
Heilige Scheiße!
Ich hab viel zu lange gebraucht bis ich rausgefunden habe wo denn der Teppich ist und warum der Hofmaimaier hier seinen Durchfalldanebenschiss präsentiert.
Ach Michi, bist ein Guter. Dankeschön.
A local rendition of “Tratsch im Treppenhaus” in our local dialect in 2009.
I couldn’t really concentrate on the wider play though, everybody kept looking at me when I entered the stage and said my lines.
The smallpox vaccine was only 95% effective, we still managed to get rid of that virus because enough people got vaccinated that it could not find enough vectors to remain alive.
The resurgence of measles in the US is absolutely because the herd immunity is failing with not enough people vaccinated.
Most expensive one I could find with a simple google search in Germany is € 12.54 per kg,
the ones pictured above are 680g, so for $ 7.49 that’s $ 11.01 or € 9.55 per kg (at current exchange rate)
Average price for pasta sauce in Germany seems to be around € 5.00 / kg, but then the Rao’s might be among the pricier sauces in the US?
I’m not talking about evidence, and I’m making no claim about evidence here. I’m talking about logic and reasons to have a specific conviction.
To believe in anything that I have no evidence for, would leave me believing in a million different and contradicting things. I don’t have any evidence for the cosmic teapot, for the invisible pink unicorn or the flying spaghetti monster (Pesto Be Upon Him). And withholding judgement on the existence of pixies, wall-socket-kobolds, voltage-growing-trees and the Schinamarug is simply removed from practicality, because you cannot prove a negative, but in every day life I HAVE to act like there is NOT an invisible puppy everywhere where I want to step. For all intents and purposes, I KNOW there is no teapot orbiting Saturn and I KNOW there is no invisible pink unicorn. For these reasons it is illogical to withhold judgement on an existence that I have no evidence for AND absolutely no other reason to believe in.
Hard atheism is (in my opinion) simply the sane and practicable conviction. Because if you tell me “I’m not convinced there is a teapot orbiting Saturn right now, but there might be.” Then I can only tell you that, no, if you think there might be a teapot orbiting Saturn right now, you’re wrong, even without me having any evidence disproving it. And you can’t tell me that my conviction that there definitely is no teapot in an orbit of Saturn right now, is in any shape or form unreasonable.
You… aren’t Violet08… nice! Moar people hornyposting.
It’s not just about atheism in this, it’s about the gnosticism in combination.
Gnostic Theism = I am convinced by the claim there is a god. And I know my conviction is correct.
Agnostic theism = I’m convinced by the claim there is a god, but I don’t know if I’m right about that.
Agnostic atheism = I’m not convinced by the claim there is a god, and I don’t know if I’m right about that.
Gnostic atheism = I’m not convinced there is a god. And I know my (negative) conviction is correct.
Gnostic atheism is often also called positive, strong or hard atheism.

I’m a strong atheist myself, following this reasoning:
The “no arguments argument” for atheism:
(1) The absence of good reasons to believe that God exists is itself a good reason to believe that God does not exist.
(2) There is no good reason to believe that God exists.
It follows from (1) and (2) that
- (3) There is good reason to believe that God does not exist.
Mhmmm… not quite. To claim there is no god is gnostic (or strong) atheism.
Anti-Theism is the conviction that belief in a deity or religion is foolish and overall something bad for society.
What is the definition for God most Christians use?
Is that fuckin’ Tom Cardy??! Yeah? Nah? Yeahnah? Yeah?
Idk man, sitting in front of Fred Durst assaulting a cat girl would kinda freak me out.
By the dark gods… easiest tell is, if it’s insulting you, it’s not a Corpo-Speak LLM.
