That wasn’t so much a “fact” told in school as it was a prediction, and it was true for them. Some people carried pocket calculators, but most people didn’t. Some supermarkets has calculators built into their carts, but most didn’t.
Failing to predict society’s norms in 20 years isn’t the same as teaching a false fact.
Same. I’m playing GTA San Andreas on mobile (through Netflix if you interested) and while the game holds up, all the minigames suck ass. I’m likely not going to complete a single one. Maybe I’ll cave and do burglaries for infinite sprint, but probably not.
A knockoff iPhone charger from China. I plugged it into my computer and it literally caught fire.
Thank you so much for responding. I sincerely hope you find what you are searching for.

How do you reconcile that with your discomfort about much of your connection to religion being circumstantial? Isn’t that very different than what you just told me?
After all, the post you just gave me is the practiced rhetoric of a firm believer. You were able to fall back into it quite easily, but does it accurately reflect how you really feel? Do you still feel this tie to Christ and that you are being held to this divine mandate given that you were saying you (your faith?) was at a low point a couple posts earlier?
Why is it good that it makes you uncomfortable? And I’ll go a step further and ask whether all discomfort regarding religion is good. For example, was your chaplain saying you should be uncomfortable because you’re not sure if it’s rooted in truth, or were they saying you should be going out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself to do more and/or expressing your faith in new ways? If so, are the two equivalent?
I’m asking in genuine curiosity: I grew up Catholic, and never felt much of a community motivation for my religion. Once I got to college, I mostly stopped going to church, with occasional bursts where I’d decide to go for a month or so. So going to church dried up before my faith did for me, and I don’t really understand going in the absence of faith.
I hung on as an agnostic theist for years, though lately I think I’ve been more of an agnostic atheist. I agree with your sentiment on God existence not being predicated on belief, but have also reached the conclusion that if I need belief to accept something as true, it probably isn’t.
Does it bother you that only one of those criteria is actually tied to faith in a god’s existence?

You don’t say?
I would not seek for one to exist by virtue of me wanting it to exist, but would rather have it exist if it does and not if it doesn’t.
Maybe XP or 7 based on how snappy it feels? But they’re not really comparable.
TTY is still a thing in Linux and Windows removed that in XP. GUI can vary from classic feeling to more modern than Windows. Package management is leaps and bounds better than Windows.
Windows XP and 7 are a good one to say to Windows users because they’ll remember them as comparatively light and debloated, which is how Linux feels, even though Linux is very much modern.
Article is paywalled for me. But the ultra rich CEOs don’t receive much of a wage anyway: they draw a nominal wage and amass most of their wealth via stocks.
They got an iOS app?
Nope

Arctic for Lemmy. Also have Peertube app but there’s not much hosted there yet.
Lawyers hate this one trick.
This same trick was actually a plot device in That 70s Show (S1E11). Red learns to use it, and immediately starts making sales.
I might be in the minority, but it is painfully obvious and pisses me off when companies do this. I’d much rather get an apology than a comment on my own emotional regulation while taking zero accountability. They’re basically saying it’s my fault for being annoyed.
I don’t think a retail manager would appreciate, “Thank you for remaining calm as your car took unexpected damage” over “I’m sorry I hit your car,” so why do they think I’d prefer the former for them making me wait?
Yep, back in the 90s they were in some places. My local supermarket had one like this, except without the annoying ad on the left side.
