I don't know man. People been getting weird here (the forums) lately about their pet issues. Like basically everyday is someone is going off in innocuous threads about something or other being centrist, or liberal, or chud, or fascist, or whatever, apropos of nothing with seemingly no relation.

Dunno what's up with people. It's happening a lot in Games for some reason and I dunno why.

I eliminate the sinful beverage of beer so pious men aren't tempted. Truly I am making the greatest sacrifice for you all

I think it is in regards to the nihilism and empty hedonism expressed above as being the purpose to life because we simultaneously live in the best and worst possible world and changing it wouldn't matter even if we tried.

I still dont get it. Was he talking poo poo about me? If so gently caress him with a rusty, well, any rusty object will do. Maybe a railroad spike.

I drank on Sunday. My friend is a demon who brutally tempted me by asking "Hey dude, wanna come over and have a driveway beer?" What defense do I have against that? So I went.

I'm going to try not to drink the rest of the month.

A lot of people observe religious traditions just to make their family or parents happy, or for any other reason that they might feel like doing it. Who cares?

I celebrate Christmas because its fun. Fasting doesnt sound fun. People should do what’s fun. If their definition of fun differs from mine, so be it. I’m feeling a little irritable today, if y’all cant tell.

I'm stuck in Morocco since the 'roni hit while I was travelling or something. I got a one way ticket back in February and a month later they closed everything down, including hostels and stuff. I got lucky, the family of one of the hostel managers is letting me stay with them at their riad, where everyone is doing ramadan. Figured I'd stick it out with them because they've been so nice to me. But yeah I'm in Morocco, so all the booze stores are closed for booze anyways this month (I don't know if bars would have been closed, but it's my current sitch right now). Otherwise I'd be drunk right now probably

Based on previous experience, you should be able to at least get people to buy you pants

This may be the only valid reason for a non Muslims to fast for Ramadan and thats only if you don't insult the family you're staying with. I know my highly religious relatives wouldn't want you getting baptized, or taking communion unless you really meant it.

I don't think that's really the same. You can't get communion unless you've had your first communion. If you go up there and take it anyway then that'd be offensive.

It's almost the exact equivalent of giving something up for Lent. You don't have to do it, if you do it it's not offensive, and it can even be a bonding type thing.
