MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Someone on another website just tipped me off to this news report about Samsung selling laptops with spyware preinstalled.

The best part is than when questioned about this, a Samsung representative reportedly protested that "we just put them there to find out how the computer is being used" :horrormirth:

I'm not really sure if it's a hoax--but I seem to remember something around that time about someone claiming stuff about their laptop without actually providing any proof or anything. But that might have been something entirely different, too.

Most suspect is how they don't mention the type or model of the laptop, anywhere.

That said, communications/electronics corporations are doing enough evil shit:
