Sent it a few days before christmas. Should have been there by now. Was in a christmas card. Will send another by the end of the weekend.

Wish it were true. That's like "The Onion", right? Can't be true. Lol
@valleyforge which ones?

Got it this morning in my main account. Not sure if it came from hr block or the IRS.
Still no stimulus deposit. IRS shows the last 4 of the account number it was deposited to, but it aint mine. Got a new emerald card today, because some people were getting it deposited there. Nothing on there yet. WTH.

A buddy gifted Mindustry to me, so I'm likely going to play a few multiplayer sessions with my friends in the coming week(s).
It's sorta a Factorio lite. Less micromanaging, but more enemy invasions. It's actually a freeform tower defense game.
Considering I'm the slow backbone builder, it's a good idea to send my buddies to the front where they can build the turrets and defenses while I make sure the production lines are there. :P

Religion is the opposite of life.
Life is diversity. Religion is conformity.
Life is freedom. Religion is control.
Life is selfishness. Religion is surrender & subjugation of the self.
Life is biological needs: eat, fuck, sleep, raise offspring. Religion is: "Deny and Repress Your Instincts".
Life is self-sufficiency. Religion is learned helplessness.
Life is mutual respect, equality and oneness with all life. Religion is separation from life and the illusion of superiority over life.
Life is eternal struggle. Religion dangles the false hope of eternal ease.
Life is neither good nor evil. Religion polarises everything in the universe into good or evil.
Life is a force of nature. Religion is fear of life.

Use of words for human/animal waste.
I discovered (10 years late, apparently) the XKCD color survey and the (honestly, unsurprising) scatological bent the Internet takes towards some greens and browns. Pretty amusing. Accidentally discovered this grepping for swear words before pushing code (I tend to use such words for debug variables on long nights.) "baby shit brown" #ad900d gave me a giggle.
There's also "piss yellow" #ddd618 and, strangely,
"poop brown"
"shit brown"
"shit"
"poo brown"
all different colors. 🤔
Survey results where this comes from, in case you also had never heard of this: https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/
