Do you really want me to prove it?

Something something Pathos.

I will never be able to understand why some people have a complete inability to refrain from insulting others of a different religious perspective. Is it that they're so insecure in their own beliefs they have to assault every other one to make their position feel stronger? Is it just a cruel fear and dislike of anyone even remotely different from them? Do they actually think they're going to convert people with smug insults? It just doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me.

Just another day in America

oh hell, now I have to change all of my passwords. apparantly a hacker may have accessed the password database on SoH.

running antivirus, once that's done, all passwords are changing.

or at least, all passwords of things that could be used to my/other's detriment.

if I start spamming porn or something, then it may be this. then again, it happened about 5 days ago, and, AFAIK, no incidents...

Why would the SoH server have the rest of your passwor........ oh ok genius.

You know those days when everything goes wrong?

Summary of today... 3am ish start thanks to unwell child. Discovering the brilliance of Wheelchair rugby thanks to TV at 4 in the morning was a perk though. Pre sun up lecture planning session, as complex impedance wasnt quite complex enough. This resulted in baffled students thanks to imaginary numbers... (Student: "You expect us to be able to add up vectors that arent in phase, where the phase difference is not determined?". Me: "*long string of semi coherent caffine fueled algebra that is actually easy if you know what a triangle is*"... Student: "WTF?"). This developed into issues with the average level of literacy displayed by your average person in thier late teens - Uranium decays into the lesser known element Radar apparently. Coursework stress, where a student who wasnt even enrolled when a particular assignment was set started hassling me for a paper to use as credit on a different course even though it cant possibly exist. After a dissapointing canteen lunch where the canteen ran out of food (apparently its hard to feed 1700 people each day) I was presented with faulty apparatus thanks to technicians mislabelling things, wasting an afternoons lab session. When I get home I have to rush my wife to the hospital eye department after our elder daughter poked her in the eye hard enough to cut her cornea, causing all manner of fluids that should be in her eye to be coming out of her eye. Car problems involving a wheel bearing on the way home. Picking up the kids at way past thier bedtime thanks to hospital waiting time, only to find they were covered in dogwater after wrestling it in the mud. Quite an eventful day all in all.

But at least I discovered wheelchair rugby. Watching those nutters slam each other is quite frankly beautiful. Not quite as good as the 15 man version, but then nothing is.

It's probably time to get out the ol' friend-pruning shears. Oddly enough I had the opposite problem for a while.

Is there like, an entire subtype of image macros that are poisoned well fallacies?

That first one is especially guilty. I count 4!

  Evidently whoever created that image macro didn't actually know what 'atheism' means...

Gene Wilder would never poison a well, the Waco Kid fights for justice! :p

More seriously, yeah, there actually is and I don't know which are worse, the religious ones or the political ones.

[Willfor]

Gentle reminder of how easy it is for these subtopics to become problematically entangled with religious and/or political arguments. Please consider taking the discussion elsewhere if it becomes a debate.

no, it's the arguement some people use when conversing about athiesm and religion. those people have a habit of saying atheism is a religion.

I realize that, but the problem with the image is the second line: 'I guess wanting evidence...'. Atheism in the more specific sense is taking up a position that there are no deities. This is like stating 'there are no aliens' to somebody who believes that there are aliens and then saying 'I take that position because I demand evidence' when, in fact, you also have no evidence for your belief.

ETA:
Also, yeah, I don't really want an argument here, I'm just pointing out flawed logic, and will probably just refrain from any further discussion on the matter to avoid ze derail.

[penguinofhonor]

Ehehehe, sorry for bringing up controversial stuff in here. I expected people to be like "that's dumb", but I underestimated this forum's verbosity.

[Tellemurius]

This whole conversation is pointless AND NOT FULL OF REAG PLEAZ REPLACE

That's a pretty crappy day right there.

greatorder,

Go check out Keepass. It's a local password repository so you can start using randomly generated passwords and such and have a central database where it's all stored. It's encrypted on your HDD so there's little risk of some getting access to them even if they get access to your PC.

So give that whirl.
