I read The Circle by Dave Eggers this week. I liked it overall, there were some things I didn't like about the writing but I thought the ending was really good.
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.
Thanks! Definitely adding that book to my list.
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 was really bummed about missing r/place, I had so much fun last time. Definitely going to add my efforts to the cause.
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.
I know when I had mostly stopped engaging with facebook, it started giving me absurd notifications, like "someone you don't know posted something in a group you never check." It starts looking kind of desperate.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with breaking a few eggs.
Yeah I remember how they tried telling the Apollo dev that the bills won't be due for 30 days so that was like giving them more time. I'd expect that any apps that are still open are going to get a bill in a month.
Narwhal is still open too, I pulled up a list of my subreddits to look for equivalents.
