@levisan i think most christians would agree hearing sermons is not the point of going to church. not to say they don’t have a purpose and wouldn’t be missed if they were gotten rid of

@schizanon man i don’t have this issue really… other than that i want the dose to work and so need to take breaks or tolerance builds up, i def dont want to take more and more or abuse it. makes me feel terrible if i take a bit too much — tired and anxious.

@levisan is this the same as going to church for the sermon?

@levisan did we talk about this already? hah i think we might’ve

@levisan nice, top of the pile for me too. love that sort of setting. just re-read anathem which is of course very different but kinda scratches the same itch. wish i knew of more like it!

@levisan and how she attaches it to the nipple after checking for milk. no way i could reliably check a bat for milk production!

@levisan well she seems like she knows what she’s doing. maybe it’s a well calculated risk or that population doesn’t have any rabies going around

@levisan hah yeah. well in some orders maybe it could happen. saw a doc about a monastery on mt. sinai a while back and thought… that could be a nice life. you ever read a canticle for leibowitz?

@musicman oh! really? hm, i’ll have to experiment.

@musicman you know, i’ve never seen that!

@jbwharris i didn’t even know it was a thing! yeah it was packed, they painted hundreds of kids faces

@jbwharris nice. my daughter did face-painting at their “super hero day” the other week!
they had some interesting custom delites for it.

@musicman huh, i rarely use or look at hashtags on mastodon. maybe i should. feels weird though. and time-consuming.

@levisan yeah my wife and i were just talking about this earlier tonight — a kid in our city just died of rabies from a bat falling on him during vacation up north. we’ve had bats land on my wife multiple times here at home, never thought to have her get rabies shots since she felt no bites, but neither did that kid!

@schizanon haha that’s hilarious. still feels wrong, but yeah, i’m kinda in the same boat with some of my old projects. and even if you still have access, any old google analytics stats aren’t available to look up anymore! (unless in the small minority that backed the data up to something like bigquery)

@levisan hah. our city is finally getting a costco in november. brantford finally hits the big times! (we were 3rd largest industrial center in canada at one point, behind montreal and toronto)

huh, i've never seen apple use this logo before! weird combo of older styles. rainbow gradient fruit body with an unusually leaf-like leaf, G3 era-ish shine, and a diecut border/shadow. from a marketing email today. anyone else seen it?

are the beer price-cuts related to doug ford's quarter-billion taxdollar giveaway for rushing the whole corner store booze rollout? surprised i'm not finding news articles about this. #onpoli
