I don't remember how long lockdown has gone for me, the days keep blending into one. Mom wants to teach me how to cook, so I can survive more easily once I'm living truly on my own.

"Lol as an aside I met a creationist a few years ago. Imagine that. Archaeologist geologist and a creationist. I can be open minded but there comes a point when I just point and laugh."


I never met on in person, but I have seen them on TV. I even tried to watch Richard Dawkins engage in a debate with a creationist, but it was cringeworthy - downright impossible to endure. I am not one to judge people based on their beliefs (you can go and believe the sun does not exist if you want to, fine by me), but the combiation "arrogance" + "lack of any understanding for the most basic scientific concepts" made even me turn away in disgust.

Please do tell what you and the creationist talked out. Or was it all chit chat?

Awww I'm sorry
I know sadness. I'm in the process of converting it to anger

Too bad we can't get Elon Musk to package that shit up and power up whole cities and cars and stuff! (not to mention how rich we would be!)

I tried to see things her way, to say stuff like 'Maybe the universe is only 5000 years old from God's perspective, who's to say what a year is to God?'

She loved that. But no, the world really is 5000 actual years old apparently. But what about radiocarbon dating and ancient remains and fossils? She couldn't explain any of that but insisted on the 5000 years (or whatever it was) date. Look---evidence and --- PROOF---but no---faith. Can't fight faith.

I also try to have respect for others' beliefs. But there comes a point when people just demonstrate their potatohood too well.

People can believe anything they want. Be my guest and worship a stone or an Ikea pot if that gets you through the day.

But please keep your beliefs out of the science textbooks and don't try to convince other people that the world is 5000 years old.

I applaud you for attempting to bring some reason into the picture by mentioning the C14 dating method, but the sad reality is that religious people have the ultimate weapon against reasonable arguments: god works in mysterious ways.

Potatohood :-)

Have a good evening @Underscore

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

That woman was so stupid. The world is 8,000 years old. Duh.

 

[RM5998]

@GoodPersonEffed *Pushes up glasses* Actually its, 8192, because 2 is the best number and 13 is the worst.
Or wait, is it the other way around?

Right now I'm a bit conflicted. I'm now stuck at home with my family, though I do have a place of my own in a dormitory. At my family's home, I'm not given any privacy or any personal space of any sorts, which leads me be in constant state of anger and being pissed off because I have nowhere to rest or relieve any sort of emotion alone, nor do anything private in peace like browse and chat. It's also hard to focus on work and play games here so it's hard to be productive. Hygiene is also a problem, since most bathrooms are dirty and outdated here so I rarely bathe and clean up. I'm also constantly pissed at my abusive siblings and my narcissistic parent. The only upside is being able to see my pet and a guarantee in meals and health safety (since my family's house is further than the place with most cases)

At my own place, I can be free on my own. I can work and play without being annoyed and interrupted and pretty much do anything I want, I can stay clean since the bathrooms are clean, I have privacy, and I can control my own diet. The downside is that I have to go outside to get meals and supplies every 2/3 days, or just every morning for breakfast, which increases my risk of being infected, and if the city is in full lockdown, I may be screwed since I will have very little places to find food in, and my place is arguably closer to where the most cases are.

So that's my choice, either losing my mental health and sanity or losing my physical health. There's no place where I can safely have both, and to be honest, I'd much rather be alone even if it's a bit risky. As much as I wanna die, I don't want to die from this virus or experience the complications of getting it.

[RM5998]

I'm here. I've spent an age looking at rocks today. I think I'm going to see them in my dreams now.

Time to read some fanfics on AO3 to close out the day.

I'm seldom speechless. I would've slipped a gif in as a reply but for the serious context.
