Fun fact: None of the 12 steps include not drinking.
(In fact, they sound more like a roadmap for joining a religious sect)

Yeah, but it's God as we understand Him so it's totally not a Christian cult when the next steps include:

  • Admitting to God the exact nature of our wrongs
  • Having God remove all these defects of character
  • Humbly asking Him to remove our shortcomings
  • Seeking through prayer to improve our contact with God
  • Praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
  • Carrying this message to other alcoholics

You can totally follow all these steps as an atheist, too!

I love that the Chris series is now being posted to More Kitboga. I saw a lot of him on Twitch, but not all like 60 hours of him.

I had decided to make my final decision today at 3PM based on the input I got from co Lemmyites like yourselves. The overwhelming response was "it's an elephant" which of course is the correct answer. So I will be having a large vodka on the rocks.

That's not an elephant, elephants have trunks. This guy clearly uses a briefcase.

There was a post on science memes that pointed out that male giraffes smell the urine of all the female giraffes and if none of them are on heat, have sex with each other instead. I found that the fact stuck with me. The thread got deleted by the mods because it all got a bit daft.
