(when /r/atheism was actually a constructive and fascinating place)

You must have gotten there way before me. I used to get railed on for being agnostic because "goD don't realz" was the only acceptable answer to some people. And few people would say anything or downvote their obvious disinterest in the actual conversation.

I came in right before the peak, I had about maybe 6 months in when it just started changing overnight. I noticed that top posts were all garbage, I actually deleted all the default subs, except politics, and even that got dumped recently. It's definitely been sinking. It's just a huge ship so it's taking a while.

That being said, you don't sound like an asshole actually.

My grandma's macaroni salad. Heavy on green onions and paprika. She always made it in the same Tupperware bowl, as if it were some family heirloom. It was sort of bland, but it tasted like macaroni salad. Most people make it taste like miracle whip with chunks in it. She would cover the top with sliced eggs and then put the paprika on it. I could probably make it myself just from the memory of how she made it. But I'd have to find that bowl somewhere.

She's still alive(I've been talking past tense) but she's getting harder and harder to communicate with. I have no idea if she has a recipe or not.

I actually feel like it will be nothing. I did a bunch of stupid shit when I was younger and never really had any goals other than to possibly be an entertainer(turns out you have to try hard even when you're good at it). I don't really have goals anymore. Just need to live life now, if I look back in twenty years and realize I still haven't done that, I'll be pissed.

Sometimes the reason a person feels like an ass is because an ass would never feel like an ass. I wouldn't be too hard on myself if I were you. Sometimes when people become addicted to antiquated illogical dogma, you gotta use some tough love.

I like hiking, reading, and long walks on the beach. I also am poking around here because although I love to argue down garbage logic, I don't like everyone I spar with getting banned. I also don't like to be banned for no reason. It sounds like a better deal here so I'm gonna check it out.
