Interesting day to see this on… been a really bad one

DudePluto, 10 months ago

Yeah just in the middle of a string of bad ones without an easy way out, not feeling much at all. But I’ll get there. I appreciate your reassurance!

Hoping that one makes the transition myself. I would also love to see r/AcademicBiblical make the move. It was a great collection of resources and academic-level discussion of ancient judeo-christian religion. I mod three communities right now, and c/BiblicalStudies at !biblicalstudies is the only one I made with the hopes of one day handing it off completely to someone with more expertise than me. Doesn’t have to be the reddit mods (I disagree with that idea), just someone better suited for that rigorous of a community

Yeah even if this is a new new account of the same user, we could do without the why haven’t they been banned yet. I think we can all agree it takes time for the admins to notice these things - and they’re volunteers anyway. They need some leeway

Oh boy, Cpt. Kirk’s eye shadow? Just have to tell ourselves that male beauty standards changed over the centuries lol

I’m surprised no one has mentioned a specific filter or trick for just emulating this on modern screens. Surely one exists?

Edit: Literally the comment right below mine: gamescope

Economic liberalism is the economic theory of both American parties. Idk how it came to be applied to only the democratic party but that’s incorrect. OP is presumably critiquing economic liberalism from a leftist perspective, of which the Democrats are not

Historically by both, the democrats just give out a couple treats now and then to make themselves look progressive

Edit: unless of course you’re using the actual definitions of left and right wing, but most people in this thread aren’t so forgive me if I’m mistaken

Economic liberalism

Not the guy you asked but maybe try to find the root of your habit. When I’m continuously doing something I want to stop, I find there’s a reason. Like for me, I drink more often than I mean to because I’m bored and feeling like my life has no meaning, but alcohol helps me relax and enjoy the little day to day things. So then that gives me a path forward: find things I’m more passionate about, do more fulfilling things instead of going straight to video games and tv, go back to therapy, etc.

So maybe your drinking is because you’re just bored, maybe you have an underlying issue like depression or anxiety, maybe you’re medicating your stress or avoiding addressing something. Idk it’s up to you.

But remember that you typically do things for a reason, and you’re not alone in struggling with this issue. It’s a lot of us man

And replacing one potentially-abused substance with another

Yeah, it’s better, but it’s not great if you’re doing it every day like the user above (edit: the original one who posed the question) was suggesting. I just don’t think the advice should end at “switch to weed” because it’s just changing the problem instead of offering advice for fixing it

Fair enough, Last Crusade was the original ending for the series. And you make a lot of other good points.

Personally, I like how KotCS brings back and resolves Indy’s relationship with Marion. To me, that’s a very important resolution. But, that could just be me and my eternal crush on Marion haha! So I can see how others would disagree

witty commentary on current issues

Am I the only one who doesn’t enjoy the twitter-takes? Don’t get me wrong, I actually agree with most of the takes. It’s just that it all feels like they’re trying to one-up each other with the cleverest gotcha and it makes me roll my eyes. Maybe I’m just not the target audience for a twitter/mastodon style community

Pretty sure rule 2 is the only reason the mod is considering it. You could just be a little less… insulting? Then you’d be safe

This is a cool idea! I’d imagine a community that collectivizes to remove redundancy in tools would also be inclined to mostly cook together for the whole community. It’s this the case in your world?

If so, I come from a family of picky eaters so I could see that creating conflict as not everyone wants to eat the same thing haha. But I could also see it being an amazing opportunity to bring the community together
