On my work laptop, Teams has started to ignore my default browser settings. Firefox is still the default, and everywhere else links open there, but from Teams they open in edge anyway. Its really annoying

Grew up Lutheran, with a mom who is very strong in her faith. Felt a connction my self for a while but always struggled with skepticism. Always dealt with self-image issues growing up, and the idea of sin turned much of that to into self-hatred. Sure, sins are forgiven, but you are still supposed to try and avoid them, but I always felt at odds with what I felt was just part of who I was (don’t really want to go into it, but not anything gender/orientation related).

Eventually, learned to love myself more, but this started the rift for me. The other thing is something I’ve always been unable to shake: of all the religions in this world, who is to say one is the “real” one? Everyone has their own image of what “God” is.

Much further reflection and family conflict later, that got expanded to the understanding that religion in general is just one of many ways we try to frame or understand things that are otherwise difficult to. Things like Purpose, Creation, our place in the grand vastness and chaos of the universe.

Nowadays, when it comes to spiritualism I align more to a sort of naturalistic pantheism. Instead of prayer, I meditate, and focus on celebrating life and wondering at the beauty of it all.

This got long and I’m not sure it makes much sense, but I tried. Not great at translating concepts/ideas into words.

Uh…ALL of them? I’m gonna need more storage.

I have a couple hundred hours in Terraria, am still terrible. Usually get carried by my buddy I play with. Though, to be fair, he has close to a thousand hours, so maybe there’s still hope! Lol

I’m closer to you than to the other person, but damn, 60F is just about perfect for me. Nice, comfortable T-shirt and jeans weather.

I love me some Warkings! Their stuff is consistently fun.

I just want an internet provider that isn’t Spectrum or single-digit download speeds. Not having any real choice fucking sucks, especially since Spectrum is horrible.

Had AT&T fiber at my old place and god damn that shit went down one time for an hour the whole 3 and a half years I was there

There must be a Ghost or Powerwolf concert in town

Holy shit, that’s awesome. I always get annoyed when there’s no top level and I have to make one manually. Thanks for sharing!

My first car was a 98 civic, was my dads before it was mine. complete with roll down windows and everything. That car had like 200k miles on it before we got rid of it, and even then we sold it to our neighbor for their new-driver son to use. That was a damn good car

Born in 95, this has also been my experience. I’m just a bit too young to fully identity with everything the Millenials talk about, but feel closer to them then Gen Z. Talking to my much-younger-than-me brothers feels like I need a translator sometimes, and our interests and perception of the internet are decidedly different.
