Gosh, I wanna say I saw it at least as far back as 2010, possibly older.

I would imagine the FSM to be composed of the platonic ideal of gluten rather than physical gluten, though I’m not sure if that would be more irritating or less. I’d consult a GI and maybe a metaphysician.

See if you qualify for any down payment assistance programs. Combined with an FHA loan, you could possibly get into a house with under $5k.

I block a lot of instances because they’re specific to interests I don’t care about. I’ve blocked 2 particularly obstinate users.

Notice the top comment compared belief in god specifically to flat earth theory, hence the structure of my response.

As to your hypothesis, I didn’t ask about brain activity, I asked about consciousness itself, the subjective experience. It’s still very much an open question.

How right, I should limit my neurotic nitpicking to appropriate spaces.

They seem like cheap plated metal, any alterations are going to wind up flaking and looking terrible

Victorian style top hat

Used to swear a lot, still swear but much less frequently.

The effect of swearing is fairly diluted, they’re used so often they don’t really carry any weight when you use them. I find that there are typically better ways to emphasize a point, and using them more sparingly makes them more effective.

Ducks. Masters of land, air, and water. Good ol’ duck, nothing beats that
