lackadaisy

Yeah, at least I can remember getting a phone call and looking at my phone and reading the caller ID. I don’t think it comes up much though.

The fact that I read the caller ID and thought “oh yeah, that’s my 4 year old daughter’s lawyer” when I saw the name, that should have been a clue I was dreaming.

I bet it’ll be

“In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.”

I agree, I think that a lot of people who are raised that way are afraid to question. Hell is a pretty terrifying consequence for those who believe there’s even a possibility that it’s true. So I think a lot of them are trying to go through the motions just to rest assured that if they call themselves Christians and followed certain rituals that they’re safe.

Deciding I didn’t believe in hell was the first step and the rest of my faith quickly unraveled after that.

I’ve done something similar, if it’s just to me then I have a rule to flag it with tomorrow’s due date and I go through them the next morning. If it’s only to me, that’s one of the most obvious cases where I need to respond. I’m also working on resisting the impulse to check everything as soon as it comes in, and I turned off my email notifications so that’s a big help too.

I haven’t called in but I’ve gone to the live recording a couple of times and it’s so fun! A lot of the ad libbing got cut when it aired. If you are ever in Chicago on a Thursday I’d recommend it.

I often try to think about, 5 years from now, what would I wish I had done now? It helps make it easier to do the hard things now because those 5 years will pass either way.

Maybe m/EatCheapAndHealthy is leaking.

Luckily I’m on kbean.

Yeah, I agree I like the vibe here. And now I’m a decade older than I was when I started reddit so it feels like I’m coming here with a different attitude. On reddit I mostly lurked – by the time I’d get to a thread there would be so many comments I didn’t really have anything to add anyway.
