Re: Ridiculous Things You Read On Facebook
Believe it or not, I seldom troll or even semi-troll on Facebook any more. I de-friended all of the TrumpBots and aside from a few nonsensical drunken postings from time to time, my Facebook interaction is fairly limited. But I couldn't help myself on this one. I can't stand this chick -- it's the sister of a good friend who has a half-dozen multi-level marketing "businesses" and posts "self-help" nonsense on the regular.
I like it because it works as validation of her post (if you want to see it that way) and as a straight up trolling.

Re: Ridiculous Things You Read On Facebook
Old high school friend of mine posted parts of 8 different songs from the Neil Diamond show that he attended with his 80 year old mother last night.
Quite possibly the least cool thing ever.
Nice guy, but he tends to overshare the events of the day.
He posted this thrilling update earlier in the day with the caption "Homeward Bound" (note, this is the Ottawa airport. He lives in Toronto. It is a 60 minute flight.)

If atheists dont believe in Jesus why are they so worried that he just sacrificed a weekend for their sins. What is sin to an atheist? in order to sin you have to know right from wrong dont you? So for an atheist there is no sin. You are free to do as you please to anyone or anything, without fear. So you are free to murder, rape, steal, commit adultery, but do the majoity of atheists do that of their own free will, no, so where did their moral compass step in and from whom, perhaps that was in the primordial soup called the Big Bang.

Wife had to drag me away, because I was having way too much fun making fun of everything.
I kind of felt bad for the band, because that venue was incredibly difficult. A bunch of codgers posted up front in beach chairs giving almost nothing back. And if click on that video... There's like 10 of them in that band.

Almost too bad because that would be a great name for a cover band that does only Elvis and Neil Diamond covers (which itself would be pretty brilliant).

Re: Ridiculous Things You Read On Facebook
Lowkey, a fear I have is having to give an interview in a professional setting (read: in uniform) and some religion question pops up and I have to answer it in front of a crowd of people.
I was actually coached on this prior to going to Iraq because you're working with people who take their religion too seriously and they love talking about it. The response I was told to give was "I'm searching for my faith." It's a half lie, but it works. But that's on a personal level with Muslims you're working with, not in an interview.
So I figure i'd go with a joke that would finish with that in front of Americans. "Well, a while back I gave up being Catholic for lent and I've been searching for my faith ever since." That may or may not work, but the situation is so unlikely that I shouldn't have to worry.

"I believe in Jesus except for the parts where he doesn't live his entire life in pursuit of money" works well for non-military positions.

That's a fantastic answer, and I'm not sure it's a lie in the slightest (at least to me) so long as you can recognize the difference between it and the blind variety.Johnnie wrote:Lowkey, a fear I have is having to give an interview in a professional setting (read: in uniform) and some religion question pops up and I have to answer it in front of a crowd of people.

I just found out that I'm officially single as of today via a Facebook status of the significant other's sister asking if anyone knew of a guy to set her up with
(full disclosure: it was in the process of happening and was inevitable. so this is far from a surprise. but it wasn't done either. we were taking a couple days and going from there.)
