I was almost 14 years old when I lost my faith. I grew up in severe poverty, was severely depressed due to bullying and my weight, and I am LGBT. I found a website listing the inconsistencies in the Bible. I attempted to show my grandmother, who proceeded to laugh in my face. So I kept reading, then I came to a conclusion on my own.
The moment it finally "clicked" it honestly felt like a weight off my shoulders. Like I'd finally was free. My lack of faith hasn't waivered since then.
For my worldbuilding and writing to take off. I want to animate the history of my world, and it's something I want to do full time, but it's a lot of money + time investment. Also live somewhere that I'm not constantly looking over my shoulder. Shit neighbors suck.
Agree with pretty much everything. If I have to fight just to do basic shit why should I bother with it? My tools of the trade don't work on it, a lot of my games don't work on it, and my computer itself might not work on it (also AMD here). There's no value to using it. Just a lot of headaches.
Same as the real world. I have a real vivid imagination. I can see people's faces, their posture, what they're wearing, what they're doing, etc. I can hear wagons traveling on a muddy road, the sounds of weapons clashing, the moans of the dying, idle chatter and more. It's very easy to daydream and put myself in the world.
What are the implications of a cashless society?
The only thing that comes to mind are increased government tracking and no way to buy things should computers / power go down.
Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don't see no point in going back.
Take a break. Play some video games. Maybe watch a few videos on historical battles or events. Ideas seem to drum up then. When it comes to culture, sometimes I'll ask ChatGPT for ideas on traditions like burial practice. A few tweaks here and there and I'm back in business.
The AMA has led some subreddits to not only go private early, but to also state that it would be indefinite until there were changes. /r/videos is the biggest one I know. So we'll probably have another wave if it gets bad enough / there is admin intervention.
Before bed 99% of the time. If I'm leaving the house then I'll brush before I do.
Oh no... anyways.
Fuck executives. Everything they touch goes to shit.
Oh man I forgot about them! One of these days I'm going to buy a dvd go through them all.
It was either Bill Nye or Schoolhouse Rock playing.
No

They couldn't just shoot them? Use some sort of gas instead of raising the temperature? Literally no point in doing all that.

I liked it. Not much happens story wise but I love exploring the lore and stuff of Pandora.
What the fuck?
Thanks I'll check it out.

I was getting errors until I deleted my cookies. Try that and see if it works.
Never heard of Lemmy or the Fediverse until recent times.

Been on reddit for almost a decade. Watched it fall from a great website to the current day shithole. I'm relieved actually.
