(no subject)

So, I was just randomly checking out Sweet Charity (I've been having to ration myself, since I've already bid way more than I should have, but I'm pretty happy with who/what I've bid on, and it's all for charity, so meh.

What I'm really posting about is that when I went to the homepage, I saw that the FAQs had been updated and saw one titled :I have a problem with some of the goodies being offered The answer was:
Sweet Charity doesn't take responsibility for what people choose to offer, and I'll only remove things that are clear-cut illegal (Soviet tanks, WMD or kidneys? No).

But I do very much understand that it's a matter of taste (or perceived lack of taste) or .. yes, okay, I'm talking about the Wincesters with the RAINN auction.

Enough beating around the bush - the irony is not lost nor is the controversy of it. ...
I've got to admit, my first reaction was to laugh. Hard. And I'm at work right now.
When I first saw that question, I first thought it was going to be about making money off of fan art/other people's copyrighted work. I sooo didn't see that one coming, although I suppose I should have.

Things that Annoy Me

-I'm reading this fic right now, and the author keeps making things up that contradict canon. I'm perfectly able to go with that, but you have to tell me *before* I go in. The whole story is *based* on ideas that don't match canon *at all*. At first I tried to pass it off as different interpretations, then on the author not seeing the relevant SG-1 episodes, but... I don't think that's actually the case the more I read.

-I'm on this yahoo group, and it often annoys me (I'm thinking of leaving actually because I haven't really been getting much out of it lately) but it also has good discussions, so I stay. Today some of us were having some good conversations, and one of the mods just came in and said to stop. Now that? Is annoying. People kind of seem to be ignoring that, but still, annoying. I get that sometimes mods have to enforce rules that seem stupid from the outside (been there, done that) but honestly? I've found that the less rules there are the better groups flow. You can be organized and in control without policing your members. God.

Now for some random thoughts on Stargate.

So, I don't actually remember much of season 9 and 10 of SG-1 (I tried to block season 9 out because it was bad, and ended up watching season 10 all in one night), so please correct me if I'm wrong.

The reason why the Ori are trying to enslave everyone and make them pray to them is because they get power and warm fuzzies from it right?

What about the Pegasus galaxy? The Athosians at least seem to worship the Ancients like gods. Cheya had everyone on her planet praying to her like a god, and I think a lot of other planets consider the Ancients godly. Does this mean that the Ancients are getting power from them?
