  • I write the date a bit different depending on which format its going on.

    For example, computers like to sort things alphabetically. If I’m writing electronic diary entries, I’ll name the document as “2025-06-01.”

    If I’m hand signing a legal document, I prefer to sign it as “01JUN2025” or “01JUN25” if space is an issue.

    If the format is preselected and deviation isn’t allowed, I’ll just write it like everyone else does.

    Personally, I like dating things in ascending or descending order. Day month year, or year month day.


  • I care a little bit. I work as a welder and am on the verge of completing a four year apprenticeship. My pay is going to shoot up, so I need to plan to save money for tax day.

    Right now I have my employer taking an extra $15 out of each paycheck to give to the IRS. It used to be enough to receive a refund. But these past four years as my pay increased, that refund gets smaller and smaller.

    I’m going to have to get my employer to take a bit more out of each paycheck. Tgat way I wont owe anything at the end of the year.



  • I hated Elon Musk well before he got involved with Trump. It was obvious to me that there was something deeply wrong and evil about that man. People keep falsely assuming rich = smart. Elon is proof that’s not true.

    I hated Beanie Babies when it first became a craze. The company who made these stuffed toys had full control over their value and was deliberately causing shortages & errors to drive up perceived value.

    I hate NFTs and cryptocurrency for the same reasons I hated Beanie Babies. I advised my sister against investing her savings into cryptocurrency, but she wouldn’t listen. She lost everything.

    And now I hate what Nintendo is doing with the Switch 2. I can see the writing on the wall, this is a shameless cash grab using deeply unethical anti-customer tactics.


  • Man in the High Castle tv show. The premise was interesting, Nazis taking over the US and the population figting back. However, the show quickly devolved into a confusing mess.

    Nazis are in charge of the US government, yet there’s other Nazis on the run from the Nazis in charge? And they’re hiding bibles? I was left scratching my head wondering if there were any characters that weren’t Nazis. I guess it’s a story about how bad guys always turn on each other?

    Also The Witcher season 1 tv show. I’ve never played the games before and knew nothing about it. I was hoping the tv series would be my introduction to the games, but… what in the actual fuck. Was the director drunk? Is this a show about medieval fantasy time travel and I’m just not getting it?




  • Yup, I work as a shipwright welder and have had to refuse to complete assigned tasks. When I’m tasked with welding two large steel plates together, end to end, they both need to be double beveled. If they’re not, then all I can do is make thin surface welds which are easily broken.

    That’s dangerous as these steel plates are an inch and a half thick and weigh a lot. Their weight alone will break surface welds. So I refuse to do the job. They ask why I refuse and I tell them about the lack of double bevel.

    I’m even willing to break out the oxy/acetalyne torch and cut the bevels myself, but they refuse. They’re in a hurry, they don’t have time to do things correctly or safely, and they don’t care about making it someone elses problem. That’s the sort of shit that’s likely to cause serious injury or death.



  • Purchases from Wish. A pair of block heels where the heel length didn’t match the shoe arch. Wearing them meant constantly falling backwards. It was so comically bad, the seller gave me a refund and said don’t bother sending them back.

    A Gorillaz t-shirt, also from Wish. The picture on the website looked ok. However, what I received was so awful I thought it was a prank. The white shirt had what I assumed was yellow rust stains. It looked like a rag kicked underneath a disgusting kitchen frier and left there for years.

    Some of the seams were on the outside and some were on the inside. The print itself was heavily pixilated, as if someone took an internet forum avatar image, blew it up, and stuck it onto a shirt.





  • Atheism describes what we don’t believe in, Satanism describes what we do believe in. We believe that superstitious beliefs are holding us back as a species, and is the cause of so many societal problems. We have a duty to help the world get over their superstitious beliefs through discussion, theatric performance, and activism.


  • I’d love if you capped everything off with what core beliefs does your religion believe in, and what entails one to be a Satanist

    Unfortunately that’s still a hotly disputed issue in the Satanic community. Some are theistic, most are atheistic. Some are conservative and believe might makes right, most are liberal and believe in freedom and egalitarianism. I can’t give you THEE core Satanic beliefs as there are denominations who disagree.

    But the atheistic freedom, humanism, and egalitarianism faction of Satanism is winning the “war” of ideas as that is the human tendancy. In this Satanic faction, the core is that human flourishing guides our morality, evil is the absence of empathy, and we have a moral imparitive to help humanity leave behind superstitious beliefs and embrace rationality.

    And about checking the Bible, I have admittedly never read it front to back.

    Well don’t feel bad about it. Most Christians haven’t read their own holy book which is simultaniously amusing and sad.

    but in my opinion the Bible is a corrupt book

    I personally wouldn’t say the book is corrupt, it’s just a collection of bronze age stories passed down by oral traditions. It’s only when people attempt to apply these stories to the real world that it becomes harmful.

    I shall try to check Satan’s evil deeds and how many and what were they.

    Funny enough, Satan in the Bible has a very different context. Originally, the term Satan meant “opposer” or “accusor” or something similar. It wasnt the name of a specific individual, it was a title. A description of what someone was doing.

    In the story of Balaam and the talking donkey in Numbers 22:21-39, God sends one of his angels to be a “Satan” and block Balaams path. God has sent one of his own angels to be an opposer, an obstical to Balaam.

    And you see the same thing with the story of Job. God isn’t placing bets against a person named Satan, he’s talking to one of his own angels who doubts Job’s faith.

    Strangely enough, the earliest versions of Adam and Eve, the serpent wasn’t actually the devil at all, or even an actual serpent. The serpent was originally used as an insult to call others. It was only through centuries of oral retellings that the person trying to tempt Adam and Eve morphed into an actual serpent, then morphed again into the devil.

    Here’s a helpful link about the 8 different Satans in the bible. https://overviewbible.com/8-satans/

    Satanists often oppose tyranny and dictators. Its in our nature to rebel and oppose, to be an adversary against the unjust. It’s partially why we call ourselves Satanists. Theists hate us for trying to convince people magic and the supernatural doesn’t exist. They can’t prove it does exist, obviously, so they hurl insults and accuisations which we wear proudly.

    It’s sort of like a drug addict going through withdrawls and hating the doctor for trying to cure his addiction. Theists hate us for trying to cure their addiction to superstitious beliefs.
