People ... :facepalm:

I guess many of you have read the story about the anti-gay preacher who has earlier claimed that floods are God's punishment for allowing abortions and gay marriage, and who has now been forced to leave his home due to a flood.

Of course, the major Norwegian newspapers have picked up on the story, and I just saw it on the Facebook page of one of said newspapers. The comments section though ... several people, who obviously disagree with the dude, claim something about karma.

Ironic that non-religious (I assume) use one of the most absurd terms in the world of religious ideas. The idea that you get what you deserve. Every day, people who have done nothing wrong suffer a terrible fate. Meanwhile, you have dictators, criminals and psychopaths living a pleasant life. Karma, my fuckin' arse.

Almost so that the odd conspiracy theorist served as comical relief (of course, there was one commenter blaming HAARP for the flood).

Drink, I say.:cheers:

And smoke! ;) Was that preacher from the WONDERFUL Westboro Baptist church?

 
Oh, yeah, the Westboro Baptist Church... That always reminds me.

"Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." (Col 3:12)

(Or, if you insist on the King James version... "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.")
 
Speaking of older computers...

We had a Commodore 64 back in the 80's and I think we even upgraded to the 128. I mainly played the 4 games we had and my dad would print out monthly newsletters to send out to friends and family.
 
I remember a conversation I had in late 1995, when I was in grade 6.

Classmate: "Do you have a PC?"
Me: "I'm getting my dad's old 386. It even has a CD-ROM drive. I can listen to CDs with it!" I was proud of this, because having a CD player was unthinkable for me at the time. Then again, I didn't have any CDs...
Classmate: "But you need a special Windows program for that."

We felt like real insiders.

I recall being stoked when I upgraded from a 5 1/4 floppy to a 3.5. Thought that was the best thing ever

I remember upgrading the memory on my 286 from 1mb to 2 mb. Had to change a load of jump points on the motherboard to get it working.

Now I'm looking at a pile of blank DVDs I've never written too and a load of surplus sd cards as they only have 2 or 4 GB of storage.
 
The day I got my first 1.2 GB hard drive was the day I thought there were no boundaries in the world anymore.
