I remember reading somewhere that kosher/halal laws are much less about the laws themselves and much more about the group identity they foster. I imagine the obscurity of Catholic mass fulfills roughly the same function.
What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me.
I just read a quote that said that the brain is "a machine for jumping to conclusions" and I don't know why but this feels so true.

It's egg nog season, motherfuckers!
I did a zoom presentation today and one of the audience took a screenshot of me talking. I looked pretty crazed. I'd be fucking terrified of me.

I'm not sure what it is about this that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the condescension or the "learning is beneath me" vibe I get.

Absolutely no billionaire can do anything to get me to download “Mastodon” and join a “server” whatever in God’s fuck that is.

One of the funny things about Mastodon being “too hard” is that it reminds me that all of the internet used to be hard
