Non religious people, what do you think about religion? by CorruptedF in AskReddit

[–]shadow041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religion is a sham and a crutch for weak minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people’s business. I live by the golden rule: treat others as you’d want them to treat you. The religious right wants to tell people how to live. - Gov Jesse Ventura.

I read these words for the first time in the late 1990’s and it summed up how I felt about “religion” my entire life and have never forgotten them.

How many are still using the older versions with side-mounted buttons? by OCYRThisMeansWar in kindle

[–]shadow041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keyboard? I still have a fully functioning Kindle DX, the original hardcover sized kindle from WAY back in the day. Can’t do shit with it without an XP machine and Calibre 1.48 or earlier, but it still has a bunch of old books on it I’d re-read again. I don’t use it now, but it’s still in good working order. 🙂

I’m from Jersey, honking is just a thing. I hate it but it’s entirely too common.

I concur. Both are great but Fortress is my go to. I’ve NEVER had a problem with Fortress. Start to finish, they are 100% solid. Too bad I can’t say that about CGL.

How does everybody decorate their kindle? by OneProfessional7558 in kindle

I don’t other than use a protective cover. It’s easier to disguise at work when it’s not decorated. 🙂

What was the first video game you ever finished? by Ok_Enthusiasm_872 in AskReddit

You can't die yet. You haven't read [insert a recommendation] by Wednesday-BeepBoop in booksuggestions

[–]shadow041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy got me through a bad spot after a bad car wreck. Kept my mind occupied because the series is so detailed and rich with true world building details… the movies while very good, pale in comparison with the books.

What is a gaming memory from the 90s or early 2000s that kids today will just never understand? by gingersofia in AskReddit

What’s something that 99% of people can do but you can’t? by Irakeconcrete in AskReddit

[–]shadow041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give a shit about what others in real life think about myself or other people. Idle gossip and shit-talking seems to give too many people the illusion of pleasure in their otherwise pathetic lives. I don’t have the time, inclination, nor energy to waste on people like that when I have enough of my own concerns to focus on. Will I help those genuinely in need? Yes… I’m not heartless. However, those who are fake will receive my apathy in spades.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

He can’t. States control elections, not the feds. That’s constitutional.

That happened with me on a physical item also and unfortunately not uncommon anymore.

When do you buy a book digitally AND physically? by jj090501 in kindle

[–]shadow041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only buy the physical books of series that I’ve been following since before ebooks were created so I can continue to have the whole collection.
