| 22:02.06 | keldwud | how was everyone's thanksgiving? ours was household only and everything else was over zoom |
| 22:02.21 | keldwud | my mother tried showing up in person, I'm a rude-ass and didn't let her onto the porch cuz she's from utah county |
| 22:02.30 | keldwud | and doesn't believe in covid |
| 22:51.58 | jlp_znc | yeah, my neighbor has doubts about it... I tried to explain to her that my daughter is a nurse and sees it, and that people are dying, but she's like "well, do you think it's real?" yeah, yeah I do. |
| 22:53.55 | keldwud | I sometimes wonder if one of the differences is based on faith. like, people who grow up being taught that things are real if you believe in them |
| 22:54.24 | keldwud | *differences are |
| 22:54.49 | keldwud | I dunno |
| 22:55.06 | keldwud | I just wished there was a consensual reality when it comes to things like covid |
| 22:59.37 | jlp_znc | well, I was raised with faith, but I believe in covid (and SCIENCE!) |
| 23:00.28 | keldwud | yeah, it wouldn't necessarily be a 1:1 ratio, just wondering if one is more susceptible if your foundational philosophy is one of faith first |
| 23:01.09 | jlp_znc | https://amzn.to/2Vd0BBt |
| 23:01.24 | keldwud | lol |
| 23:02.36 | keldwud | you know what's ironic, is that if santa clause and the easter bunny hadn't been pushed on me past my periods of doubt, I probably would have been a person of faith a few years longer than 8-11 years old |
| 23:03.14 | keldwud | maybe would have made it to 15 or so instead |
| 23:03.22 | jlp_znc | yeah, we lie to our children all the time. it's what we do as parents. |
| 23:03.40 | jlp_znc | then we get mad when they lie to us. "no, mom, there won't be any alcohol at the party." |
| 23:03.51 | keldwud | I think if they're like Calvin's Dad type lies, I'm more likely to let them slide :) |
| 23:03.59 | keldwud | jlp_znc: lolol |
| 23:04.07 | jlp_znc | oh, I love Calvin's dad. |
| 23:04.12 | keldwud | yeah, his lies are the best |
| 23:04.30 | keldwud | they just feel like wholesome lies |
| 23:04.45 | jlp_znc | did you ever see the "hobbes and bacon" fan comics? |
| 23:05.10 | keldwud | no I didn't. how did watterson feel about it? I know he was pretty protective over his IP |
| 23:05.12 | jlp_znc | calvin is all grown up (and married to susie derkins, of course) and they have a little girl named bacon (after Sir Francis Bacon) |
| 23:05.21 | keldwud | oh I think I've seen one or two of those |
| 23:05.32 | jlp_znc | I heard he loved it. they didn't over do it. |
| 23:05.38 | keldwud | oh that's good to hear |
| 23:05.53 | keldwud | I made sure my daughter had access to calvin and hobbes growing up |
| 23:06.15 | keldwud | slightly related, costco has a 2021 far-side calendar for sale |
| 23:06.31 | keldwud | I remember reading tons of the farside when I was a kid |
| 23:06.39 | jlp_znc | https://www.reddit.com/r/calvinandhobbes/comments/a5vqkx/has_bill_watterson_ever_commented_publicly_about/ |
| 23:06.42 | keldwud | but never ran into it much as an adult other than on calendars |
| 23:07.05 | jlp_znc | have you seen that gary larson has made a few new farside strips? |
| 23:07.29 | jlp_znc | https://www.thefarside.com/new-stuff |
| 23:07.52 | keldwud | that's what I'm assuming from the new farside calendar |
| 23:08.03 | keldwud | I'm looking forward to Jan 1st when I can see the first comic |
| 23:08.35 | keldwud | man, watterson is such an enigma. I'm impressed with his ability to stay private |
