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

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

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.

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.

Idk how popular it is, especially since it's Arch based, but went with EndeavorOS after not running Linux for a few years -- work machine mandated Windows and gaming compatibility was kinda sketch at the time. Heard Gaming compatibility had improved (it has) so wanted to try it out again.

Not afraid of troubleshooting issues I cause, and bleeding edge shenanigans, but a proper Arch install from scratch was still a bit daunting. So it seemed like a good middle ground, and access to the AUR sounded nice.

Been running it with KDE Plasma for a while, been going great! Some issues with Nvidia drivers here and there but hopefully going to upgrade and swap to AMD at some point.

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".

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

Can you Chromecast embedded videos? Invidious has a link on every video that just embeds the YouTube vid full-size in a blank page. The ad bullshit doesn't work with embeds.

Uh...is travelling through time and mass exterminating purple lovecraftian monsters with my pet bird a crime? Because if not, I got nothin

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!

Yeah I had one of those moments when an update totally broke stuff. Like, couldn't boot at all. Had to boot into the USB and chroot to reinstall some drivers. Was a fun learning experience lol

Last Epoch lol. Been playing falconer, big fun

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

Went to the same high school, but didn't really know each other until end of senior year. I guess I dated a friend of hers briefly. Really met via both of us doing theatre that year, hung out after that and through summer. Bonded over our love of metal music and Doctor Who. Neither of us technically asked the other out, her friend assumed we were dating and was like "You guys haven't kissed yet?! OK, I'm gonna turn around around, and you're going to kiss right now!" We kinda just went with it and kissed.

End of summer happened, and the casual summer thing had turned into us being really into each other. Decided to keep dating, making separate colleges work best we could.

Ten years later, we are living together in our own house with our three dogs, and getting married next month!
