The thing is, we’re not talking about the ____ group. We’re talking about those obnoxious Christians who are ruining it for everyone. If that doesn’t include you, nice. But that doesn’t change anything about that overly vocal minority.

I kind of wish the rapture would go ahead and happen. Us sinners would be much better off in the long run.

No one likes a bragger. 😤

I used to sleep in class. But only after doing all of my work. I had ONE teacher who agreed that as long as the work got done, and I wasn’t disturbing anybody else, she would let me sleep.

~Of course she was a first year teacher, so she probably didn’t know better.~

It’s suggesting that Vader’s mask caused him to mistake Luke as his son, which would be funny because of the whole plot revolving around Luke being Vader’s kid (and Luke being Leia’s brother — which is even funnier due to the sexual chemistry the two characters originally shared).

TL;DR don’t read too much into it. It’s only a joke.

One can hope! In the meantime, they’re happy to teach this old dog new tricks and that’s a start.

According to my elementary /middle school-aged kids, it seems they are in fact learning the metric system in school. And this is in a red state in the south. 🤷‍♂️

~Check back in a couple of years and I can tell you what they’re doing in high school.~

Burns hotter than the fires of Mustafar. 🔥

Can confirm: my youngest son would most definitely do this.

A few key points to live by:

1. Not everything needs to be debated
2. Even if you’re right, you can still be wrong
3. Opinions are like assholes: everyone has them, and they usually stink
4. People are allowed to prioritize their own mental health above someone else’s feelings
5. Not everyone will agree with you, and that’s okay

Thanks, Wiktionary! 🤣

Beans: a long-running gag a couple years ago during the great reddit migration of ‘23.

504: back-end server issues that seems to be cropping up lately likely due to increased bot activity.

Be wary that high bitrate 4K media may cause issues with playback buffering.

This could be Jellyfin, AppleTV, or it could be network/storage related (due to needing high speed data transfer).

I second using the Infuse app for playback. It works wonderfully!

What you describe resonates with me deeply because I have been suffering a lot of what your friend seems to be going through now: depression, anxiety, burnout. They feed into each other and are very debilitating disorders. I hope your friend finds their life preserver and can hang in there.

~PS. All content is dangerous content to depressed and suicidal people.~

I wish I could feature comments. As someone who is still going through burnout recovery, what you and @UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world are saying are both true and important for people to realize.

The only thing I would like to add is that recovery can and will take a very long time, and people need to allow themselves patience and grace during this process.

Therapy helps, and even if you can’t afford it, ask your therapist of choice if they have a sliding scale rate. This is a rate they charge based on what you can afford. It doesn’t cost anything to at least ask.

Best I can do are coconuts. 🥥 🥥

And your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

~Sorry, it felt strangely appropriate for some reason.~
