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/

@freemo #2021
Done drinking. Not because of it's effects on my behavour, but because it's bad for my body. It's literally toxic. It shouldn't even be legal if there are non toxic drugs like benzos that pretty much have the same effects. And like all drugs, it's a crutch. I'm not gunna tell anyone what to do with their body, I'm just saying I think I'll be happier without it. Happy 2021, everyone.
My chronograph crapped out on me so I haven't got to chrono anything yet, but I think I'm gunna shoot for 600 ish fps with the slugs and 900 fps with the Flashpup. Anyone got a chrono I can borrow?

Some photos from when I got caught in the middle of a buffalo stampede in Yellowstone National Park. I was being kind of stupid and had time to run off before they got to me like everyone else but I was more focused on taking pictures than my life, which in retrospect was kinda stupid. The stampede ran around me and I didnt get hurt, partly due tot he fact that there were only a dozen or so of them. I got luck.
But hey, I didn't die, and I got some **AMAZING** photos, so I will take it as a win.
