  • 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

    It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.
  • I was sold on the mask at "the wearer go falls asleep in 30 seconds" then read the rest. Undeniably the best one here.

    Sincerely, a night owl who takes forever to fall asleep, and is perpetually tired

    Former religious lemmings, what made you quit religion or stop being a believer?
  • 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.

    Qui-Gon is an absolute Menace
  • Even "against his mom's wishes" is a stretch. Sure, in a literal sense she didnt want her son to race, but acknowledged he could help them and ultimately let him do it.

    Granted, I also don't think she knew about Qui-Ron's wager for him, but obviously was glad her son got to be free.

    Been a while since I've seen the prequels, though, so apologies if my memory is wrong.

    Penguin Random House and bestselling authors sue Iowa over school book-banning law
  • His brother Hank is Atheist IIRC, and people have asked them before how that affects their relationship. They basically answered "what do you mean, why would it?" So while they can try to take that angle I doubt it'd go over well.

    I love the Green bros.

    Okay, so...
  • Yeah, I'm never not thankful for my wife's willingness to listen to my random nerd-rants. Though it does go both ways, because she does the same thing sometimes when telling work stories (I'm a software dev, while she works vetmed)

    This is so much better
  • Didn't play myself, but a family member of mine works for the Avalanche. Was at the game when they won in tampa, so got in to the afterparty.

    Hopefully that enough to convince you, don't want to go too into specifics unfortunately. But yes, people drink out of the Cup every time it's won

    Younger users of Lemmy: Did you ever love a game that you just really sucked at?
  • 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

    Ohio votes to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use, becoming 24th state to do so
  • I'm a long time Columbus resident, but I've never had much of a stake in the rivalry, people take that shit too seriously. Gonna agree with the other guy that Michigan has some real beauty to it. I drive through it every summer on my way to northern Wisconsin and that's an enjoyable 11 -12 hours.

    Beats the Chicago route any day!

  • It also features both some well populated cities (which trend left), but also a large rural population (which trends right). Between that and the gerrymandering, makes sense it's often a bit "confused".
