My theory is that Zare was actually a Soviet-vintage COBOL-language artificial intelligence simulation running on a Russian mainframe, and he got sanctioned.

My other theory is that Mosh went on a Caribbean cruise but got lost at sea somewhere around the Dry Tortugas, and has been surviving on a diet of sea turtles and conch.
 
We finally have an office again, albeit with a limited capacity. I went a couple of times to hang out with my colleagues and I feel like everyone is starved for human contact. Or at least the single people like me.

I am surprised indeed. I thought practically everyone my generation and older from a traditionally Christian country knew this. Maybe it was pushed on them as kids and they started blanking it?

Eventually everything fades away and gives its way to new things. This is particular true for religions. In Europe all ancient religions turned to mythology and stories for kids. There were systems of worship, power & politics based on those and sometimes, just like Christ, there were actual people in flesh, behind some of religions' birth & sacred saint or prophet-like people during religions' lifetimes. Jesus, for one, wasn't the first to be killed or even resurrected, the concept is quite old.
Take Delphi site: it has been the cradle for 3 distinguished religions, with centuries separating each other: Gaia, Dionysus, Apollo. With that order. Gaia signifies matriarch peoples & quite ancient, while Apollonian religion signifies a rather a patriarch society and brought by Dorians.
Religions, just like people, kingdoms, countries even like mountain ranges are born, mature and go. Nothing is to stay forever and all does.

Sure, beliefs change over time, but actually within one generation surprises me. My parents had religious education at school, people attended church as a matter of course.

Even when I was at school (a secular, state school) we had Christianity drilled into us. School assemblies with hymns, prayers, and Bible readings in the morning, religious education lessons, observance of religious festivals as part of school life. Many people rejected it of course, but they couldn't escape knowing what it was about.
 
'cause it's Friday baby, we're all out hitting the town and getting on it. :cool:


But not me. I'm gonna stay in, drink some cider and try not to fall asleep watching The Batman.

Obviously I'm still awake, slightly drunk too, but failed in my final goal. Microsoft Store didn't have Batman available for whatever reason so I watched Spiderman No Way Home instead. Thought it was gonna boil down to two and a half hours of bland fanservice but it was actually really good.

I think what happened is you returned and he left, because the forum is two small for two people in Colorado to be on it at the same time lol.
 
Also I wish I’d been oblivious to Easter’s true purpose. It was a similar surprise when I explained to my partner that Judas, who they’d never heard of, is just about the most famous traitor in history, give or take an Arnold, a Brutus, or a Quisling. But they didn’t grow up in a religious household and just never heard of anything like the “Judas kiss” or what have you.
