...I'm terrified I said something wrong while trying to provide support.


It's always hard not to be able to provide rapport

but on the bright side

try not to be not snide

and you shall fill us with pride

As a related thought that is a derail but which just occurred to me, what about pre-birth heaven. That should be a thing in Christianity. There's afterlife to explain away the nothingness after death, but they don't tend to think about the nothingness before birth
While I'm not Christian, I don't think that fits with their theology.  A key point is that God was the first thing to exist.  Even with a pre-birth heaven, there has to have been at least the better part of a week where none of us existed.
Pretty sure most Christian groups agree that the soul doesn't exist before conception. The nothingness beforehand is exactly that, because you don't exist.
Hm. If that's a concept in Christianity, why is it so hard to simply extend that to the after life? Instead of the question of death being answered by "The man upstairs will take us to him and he will care for us." why not simplify to "the same place we were before birth."

I mean, if God is happy to let us be non existent before birth, why not after life as well?

Then again, at least I did better than a morbid joke, so hopefully that's something...
If you're referring to what I think you are...

I wasn't joking.

True, but... can existence envy be a thing?  That sounds like the ultimate zen koan.

As long as you exist when you do it. "You are gonna exist after you die?!? Lucky, I think this one is my last life."
Figure that it is part of the reason religions with an afterlife do so well.

I'm not sure if this actually qualifies, but I just listened to the entire soundtrack for Trauma Team in one sitting.

TACKLING SKYRIM MODS ONCE AGAIN.

This time gonna try with the new Perkus Maximus instead of SkyRe and with a bunch of script whore mods cut out. (Mainly Frostfall and Hunterborn. While Frostfall is regrettable, it doesn't really add much gameplay value to be the ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD who gets chilly. And then become a vampire so you can be like normal people. :P Thanks to Vendayn for convincing me to abandon that one.)

Submitted an assignment with literally a minute left until the deadline.

Holy shit, I need to get my procrastination under control.

Yeah, I recently had a timed submitted exam where I got down to ten minutes left with two problems of the twenty point sort mostly unfinished and myself unsure how to solve them. I actually got through it by throwing my brain into mental overdrive, though admittedly I haven't gotten my results yet either.

Massive student protests at local university. Probably spawned by an effective protest against fee increases at another university in Joburg. Don't think anything will go bad but some of the racism I saw coming out of the previous protest has me concerned.
