I'm from the Bible belt and in my experience these people absolutely believe in God and heaven, but probably very little past that. These people mostly have a "vibes based" understanding of their religion but many of them believe it to their absolute core. Most don't read the bible past the popular verses and even less actually analyze what the text is saying, but that by no means indicates a lack of belief. It's important to remember that their actions may indicate a lack of belief in the morals they espouse, but that's cognitive dissonance not secret non-belief.

Is Dropbox worth using? I used it probably ten years ago and it was fine, but I've been using mega.nz for small file transfers between devices and as a backup for really important stuff I want to store in more than 2 places.

Ah shit theyve expanded their range since a few years ago. Thanks for the link, definitely buying some tickets for 2025.

Hell yeah, big fan of this band, keep wishing they'd come to my part of the US but it's quite a haul. Maybe I need to plan a trip to Australia and go on a music tour 🤔

I was wondering about this phenomenon yesterday. A female coworker handed me her phone and it was a mirror selfie which I didn't think anything of at first, but it slowly dawned on me how odd I would find that had it been a man doing it. Can't really think of a good reason why that is but I guess it's just a weird cultural thing.

A friend has told me you can block Elon but his tweets still appear on your timeline as if you haven't. He still uses Twitter and the only way he manages it is by blocking every blue check. He has 28,000 blocked accounts now...

Pls mark as NSFW in future, I look at lemy at work sometimes.

If you have the time to watch YouTube enough that you're considering premium you have enough time to set up these systems. The time it saves you makes back the setup time very quickly for someone watching even a moderate amount of YouTube.

It's just a common brand worn exclusively by members of Y'allqaeda. Living in the south I see atleast a dozen of these guys a day.

My neighbor has one that he parked outside under a tree. Lo and behold a spot of rust appeared on the rear quarter panel after about two weeks of ownership. He promptly wrapped the thing in purple/green perlescent which looks exactly as good as you'd imagine. Thankfully he parks it in the garage now so I only have to see it occasionally.
