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.”
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.
I’ve done something similar, if it’s just to me then I have a rule to flag it with tomorrow’s due date and I go through them the next morning. If it’s only to me, that’s one of the most obvious cases where I need to respond. I’m also working on resisting the impulse to check everything as soon as it comes in, and I turned off my email notifications so that’s a big help too.
I haven’t called in but I’ve gone to the live recording a couple of times and it’s so fun! A lot of the ad libbing got cut when it aired. If you are ever in Chicago on a Thursday I’d recommend it.
You can just go to more > activity and it’s right there.
I’ll probably be a lot less likely to downvote here, just because if something is so inflammatory that I’d want to, I probably don’t want to draw their attention to me anyway. But I’m glad to know early on.
Maybe m/EatCheapAndHealthy is leaking.
Luckily I’m on kbean.
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.
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.
