  • I grew up forced to go to church by one parent while the other showed no interest in church whatsoever and stayed home to watch Friday the 13th every Sunday.

    At one point I got really into church and truly believed it. Then one parent died and that really fucked my shit up and I began to realize how dumb religion really is.

    In college I worked with an absolutely militant atheist. He talked about 2 topics and only 2 topics, feminism and atheism, and would rip anyone’s head off that dared try to debate any of his strongly held beliefs, while also trying to convert everyone else to his way of thought.

    He ripped me a new asshole one day when he asked if I was an atheist and I said no. He was incensed because he knew I didn’t believe in god, or really any religious stuff at all, but I would deign to reject atheism too. Little did he know that he was the reason I wanted nothing to do with atheism. I did not want to be so against something that I spent all my time and energy fighting against something I didn’t believe in in the first place. I don’t care if someone else believes in whatever. I don’t even care if someone is hardcore atheist. I just don’t want anyone trying to tell me to label myself and act a certain way because thats what they believe and what they think I should be doing.




  • my dad locked our satellite receiver down with a code when we were kids so we couldn’t watch anything but news channels and cspan and other crap we’d never watch when he and my mom weren’t home

    i found the manual for the receiver, which plainly noted the built-in master code, and charged my sister $5 for the code the next time she wanted to watch mtv

    and that was the end of dad locking down the satellite receiver

    i also taught a friend about the cmos battery on his dad’s desktop computer. he turned the tables on his dad and BIOS locked him out of the computer.
    his dad never did figure out how his son managed to become a “hacker” over night.
