  • I generally overshoot when it comes to the hardware specs, if I can. That way you’re prepared in advance if you end up having the option to upgrade your Internet connection.

    Otherwise, you may find yourself locked in to the slower plan due to the cost of upgrading your hardware.

    But, sometimes you have to choose realistic over optimal, of course. So in other words, I do not think I know what’s best for you! Just offering a perspective that has worked for me, in case it helps you in some way as you evaluate the choice that’s best for you.


  • Faster? Sure. Significantly? No. Not at the unfathomably large scale we’re talking about. When adopted to these ridiculously huge distances, the effect the increase in speed modern technology might allow will quickly diminish.

    Furthermore, the nearest black hole is a hell of a lot farther away than the Voyager craft have so far made it to. Just ridiculously farther.

    I’m pretty confident this is not realistic at all until we managed to make some significance leaps forward in the relevant technology.











  • No. Sorry, but the people, events, and even societal structures relevant to the Bible are all long dead. Therefore, “relevant” is factually incorrect.

    Now, I do fully agree that there are plenty of stories in that book that highlight good morals, and healthy ways to think about yourself, the world around you, and you fit in. Unfortunately, there’s also plenty of regressive authoritarian propaganda that does not have any beneficial message to it, not to mention bizarre and disturbing filler.

    That said, to decide the entire collection inherently somehow has more importance than other books is not helpful, untrue, and puts you on a frame of mind where it becomes way harder to actually learn from the morals of the story so to speak.

    For better or worse, it is, after all, just a book.

    It was my understanding that one or more of the “lost” books from the Bible that was found in a cache of dead sea scrolls would agree with you. One example was the book of Thomas if I remember? Anyway, the message was that God was, in fact, an usurper, and very much against us.

  • There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it’s breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

    Breathtaking is a better word, my dude. And for any guys out there who have yet to experience the benefits of being smooth down there, if your lady can go to that trouble for you, why not return the favor? And you just might be surprised at how fun smooth on smooth feels! Just, watch out for the itchy/scratchy stage lol
