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

I liked it. Not much happens story wise but I love exploring the lore and stuff of Pandora.
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.
Never heard of Lemmy or the Fediverse until recent times.
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.
Been on reddit for almost a decade. Watched it fall from a great website to the current day shithole. I’m relieved actually.
Looks like it’s been here for a while (worldbuilding), just isn’t that active.
Windows because my favorite games don’t work on it and neither does any of Adobe’s apps.
I’m thinking about buying a used mac because I’ll need it for crossplatform testing of apps.
Thanks. I’ll check them out.
Takes some getting used to. But I love how the communities don’t feel like an echo chamber.

Ever since I got my first laptop when I was a young teenager it’s been Firefox. With Google exploring deleting blockers like uBlock Origin I see no reason to switch.
When I was in community college the teachers made homework / quizzes 30% of our grade. That homework was locked behind a pin code that could only be accessed by buying the textbook. Mess up on one test and that was an automatic failure (C’s minimum to transfer). COVID came along and I dropped school altogether. Seems its only getting worse. Not sure if I even want to go back.
Is there an api for developers?
Before bed 99% of the time. If I’m leaving the house then I’ll brush before I do.
