That picture is very, very disrespectful. Very. And shows a lack of understanding what schizophrenia is.

Thanks! I just got this very email. The senders tweaked a few words and changed the signature. The subject line also listed a name that could have been similar to mine (like a relative) but certainly didn't pertain to the "message." I've been getting garbage like this since I posted on hotjobs...

Re: Unexpected Teen Pregnancy

This is such a very biased way of judging an accidentally pregnant teenager. i wonder if you even have a soul or even a human for you to say this. and by the way, she isn't a teenager at all. she can work and raise the baby properly. being accidentally pregnant is really a sin ok but aborting it? didn't you think it will just give her more sins to bear if she do that?ugh! i can't believe i actually read this!

I was diagnosed with Paranoia Schizophrenia and I thought of it as a religious disorder. I hear tapping noises on the walls every time I sin and I think it is the devil. I read licence plates and 666 or 616 comes after 777 or vise versa often. I believe God uses license plates to communicate with me. My friend in the psych ward read my mind about where I was before I was born and I remember being in a heavenly place like Rome, with a bridge and lots of beautiful water. My friend I think had schitzophrenia and he saw angels and demons and told me that after I died I would go to a better place and would be told who the demons on the earth were. Not to ramble, I am very in touch with God and I talk to him every day by the signs I get from the license plates or other people. I could go on about my religious experiences I have had that seem supernatural but I just hope whoever reads this learns they are going to be okay, God is looking out for them, even though life seems like hell. And I don't believe schizophrenics are crazy.

Re: Misplaced Parental Fears

I agree 100%. The media does nothing but sensationalize anything bad that happens, be it to kids or otherwise.

It's like a quote from an old episode of Dudley Do-Right where Snidely Whiplash gave Dudley a newspaper that said Nell was now married to Snidely, and Dudley said, "Well, if it's in the paper, it must be true!"

People would rather be spoon fed the media slanted garbage than actually take the time to find out the truth for themselves.

Been awhile since I posted this, so I should add the fix for that.

Open finder, press Shift + Command + G and go to:

~/Library/Application Support/Wine/prefixes/EFT/drive_c/winebottler

as long as you named your app EFT, and copy the rest of the EFT files (other than EFT.exe) there. It should run for you just fine then.

EFT doesn't load correctly for, because it can't find the files it needs, apparently. But I copy them into the directory in the .app but no joy.

The what's on your mind is part of what I put on it, but most of the time only when it's different from the everyday stuff that's on my mind. And well the EVE community seems to use it for communication a lot so for me it's also a community.

Good post ;)

Thanks Atheisth, you are right. I have always had a problem with K.I.S.S.ing something, but why worry about bigger things until it is actually off the ground to begin with?

Now, where in the hell cam we meet around here?

Ha ha. its fun to go back and read stuff like this. We haven't been together since August, and work got REALLY weird for awhile.

I think it has evened out now.

It's amazing how saturated our culture is with the creation fantasy. I know that it is stereotypical for an athiest to look down at religious zealotry, but I do. It drives me crazy that otherwise intelligent and successful people can so easily embrace such idiocy and call it their "spiritual foundation". Only the willfull dismissal of the obvious could allow for this.

Good luck in your search for other like minded people. I live in a tiny little town on the west coast. The area is populated with dairy farms, churches and bars. Here most everyone claims to be deeply christian... on sunday morning...saturday night they're out fighting in bars, screwing cows and beating their wives, heh. I don't dare discuss my personal beliefs at work because I would literally be fired.

I'm currently president of a local freethought group. Some times we simply meet for coffee. You're overthinking this. Put your group out there, promote it a little, and see where it takes you.

Jodi — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:36:32 -0000

Hey look, I just followed you AND I'm posting on your blog (pixelsnake) :P
Anyway, just wanted to say nice post!
I love twitter because it is better than both forums and IM in my opinion. Forums can sometimes feel a bit formal and hard to break into as a new person, big introductions and trying to get in with the 'cool kids' etc. On the other hand I don't even use an IM client any more because I hated people jumping on me and wanting to talk constantly for hours. Also why I mostly avoid the phone. With twitter, you can just hop right on and follow someone, say a quick 'Hi!' as a greeting and get to know them 'naturally' as you find things in common. You can have fast IM like chats but you are also free to walk away at any point and come back at any point too.
It's a very free kind of social networking :)

I love this post. I agree completely. This IS a community. I have found more like minded people here than in any other social setting. And for an Atheist like me, it's been a godsend. :)

i had never heard of pyfa, i will have to make sure my python install is up to date and check it out.

i once used gtkevemon on a Linux box, but never ran it on my Mac. almost a year since it was updated.

tbh, i actually have Parallels and use EVEHQ, but don't tell anyone I said that.
