Hello

Cerberus

@Mitch Pretty hilarious.

@Mitch A funny book to keep in an American office.

@parz Greetings.

parz

@Cerberus oh no its a mod cover up the weird conversations

Cerberus

Better make it quick!

Those mods might be peeking at our chat history of years ago.

And find one slightly off remark.

And we're done for.

parz

please only look at me demolishing worldle flag questions left and right

Mitch

@Cerberus Oh cripes. composition difficulties. Foremost among the details, but which somehow I managed to leave out, was that it was the office of someone super important in a major Christian organization.

@Cerberus Oh shit.

Cerberus

22:16

@parz Demolishing worlds? I'm sure there is a by-law against that somewhere, let me look it up...

@Mitch That actually makes it slightly less unexpected.

Mitch

@Cerberus Oh yeah. Sort of kind of relevant. But a bit outré even then.

Cerberus

Some religious people somehow find the stuff of other religions interesting.

Mitch

I mean office usually implies business and business implies action and action implies no time for reading and etc etc... etc etc and collapsing everything office usually implies only books about golf and picture books of 18th NYC door handles (true story).

@Cerberus "look at those weirdos!"

Cerberus

I see.

Mitch

You know why there are so many proscriptions against witches?

Competition

If you just say 'proscriptions against other religions' it's a lot more obvious and boring.

Because -nobody- believes in witches.

Right?

haha I just read an article the other day about how there's more belief in witches by people who are religious than by people who are not.

So once again everything I say is a contradiction.

@Mitch are you sure?

Mitch

@parz Absolutely

parz

@Mitch that’s contradictory

Can we talk about the World Cup now?

Robusto

@Cerberus That's why I deleted the post above this one, because while I thought it was mildly humorous, I also expected it might be misconstrued in several ways.

And everyone would start flagging me and running for the exits and all that.

Cerberus

Self-censorship?

Robusto

@Cerberus I just decided I didn't want the hassle.

Cerberus

22:44

That's how self-censorship often works!

Robusto

I know.
