  • Yeah, at least I can remember getting a phone call and looking at my phone and reading the caller ID. I don't think it comes up much though.

    The fact that I read the caller ID and thought "oh yeah, that's my 4 year old daughter's lawyer" when I saw the name, that should have been a clue I was dreaming.

  • Oof, yeah that's a good point. My county has a decent one and I'm happy to support them, but I wouldn't pay for it if I was in your situation either.

  • Make sure to support your local news sources too. Lots of great suggestions here for staying up to date with national and world news, but your local newspapers serve a valuable role in keeping up to date on what local governments are doing in your communities, and holding them accountable.

  • I bet it'll be

    "In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence."

  • Yep, we could load a template to follow but it was just a lot of clicking pixels to change "FARTY" back to "PARTY," rinse, repeat.

  • I agree, I think that a lot of people who are raised that way are afraid to question. Hell is a pretty terrifying consequence for those who believe there's even a possibility that it's true. So I think a lot of them are trying to go through the motions just to rest assured that if they call themselves Christians and followed certain rituals that they're safe.

    Deciding I didn't believe in hell was the first step and the rest of my faith quickly unraveled after that.

  • A lot is probably just because of the sheer volume of people over there, whatever the interest was, there'd be plenty of people who were really into that thing. I miss subs like r/whatisthisthing and r/tipofmytongue that worked because just by exposing it to so many people, there was a good chance of coming across someone who was actually familiar with it already.

  • Yeah, I agree I like the vibe here. And now I'm a decade older than I was when I started reddit so it feels like I'm coming here with a different attitude. On reddit I mostly lurked -- by the time I'd get to a thread there would be so many comments I didn't really have anything to add anyway.
