No
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.
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.
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.
Reddit’s been spiraling downhill for years. Been searching for an alternative that’s not the cesspits of Twitter and 4chan. API is getting killed, government and corporations pushing agendas, armchair experts, subreddit bannings, poor UI/UX, echochambers, hardly any OC, and many many other issues that I’m sure others have already mentioned. I’m dumping the site as soon as old.reddit goes down.
There’s nothing but outrage culture on social media. Just looking for a spot to chill really…
Before bed 99% of the time. If I’m leaving the house then I’ll brush before I do.
