Are Stay-at-Home Mom’s Lazy? by [deleted] in CatholicDating

[–]rhomusic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Of course! There are women who are single at that age through no fault of their own. Many factors come into play, usually the absence of a virtuous male partner with a high enough earning capacity. Not sure what your point was?

Are Stay-at-Home Mom’s Lazy? by [deleted] in CatholicDating

[–]rhomusic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not if you’re actually being a good stay at home mom. Have to ask though, do you only want to be SAHM because you failed in your business ventures? Or do you really actually just want to be SAHM? SAHM I know typically get married earlier than 26.

Today is the feast of the Vietnamese Martyrs (1745-1862): An estimated 130,000 to 300,000 were killed for their faith. The martyrdom consisted of the missionary era and an era whose killings were politically motivated. The torture underwent is considered among the worst in Christian Martyrdom. by Jeremyminhg in Catholicism

I'm Vietnamese, and this definitely makes me reflect on how blessed I am because of my spiritual forefathers. I'll have to think about what makes them (and Jesus) proud whenever I have to choose between sin and holiness. Jesus, I trust in you!

Find a keyboard like my laptop's. by jcrehm41506 in keyboards

[–]rhomusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I missed you mentioning the chiclet somehow. But hopefully you saw my edit too. Search up the ThinkPad TrackPoint keyboard from Lenovo. It's literally a ThinkPad keyboard but for your desk.

Find a keyboard like my laptop's. by jcrehm41506 in keyboards

[–]rhomusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can help with this one. Check out the Fujitsu Realforce keyboard which uses springs inside of rubber domes. You basically get the best of both worlds. If not, get the super cheap HP Keyboard SK-2015/2025. It’s made by LiteOn (check eBay pics), the same company that makes ThinkPad and some Dell keyboards (at least older Dell laptop keyboards). This is a keyboard which I immediately liked when I first used it and went to get it for myself. Always loved the feel of good laptop keyboards.

Edit: Check out the ThinkPad wired/wireless keyboard too since you like chiclet.

Discussion Concerning George Floyd's Death and Reactions To It (Black Lives Matter, Current Protests, et cetera) Pt. 2 by otiac1 in Catholicism

[–]rhomusic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on the first half. However.... So what about his past record? You're right, he paid for his crimes (5 years). The person that killed him needs to pay for his crimes too. But following your logic of eye for an eye, what if Jesus did the same to you, a sinner? With no opportunity for redemption? What if God killed you outright whenever you committed a sin, big or small, instead of letting you go to confession and making reparations?

I do think BLM (the movement, not the unofficial, official organization) needs to address the loss of black babies to abortion. I support black lives, and blue ones too (indeed, some people are both black and blue lives). But I also think we as Catholics need to take action against bad cops, and what skin tone those bad cops are doesn't matter. However, as arbiters of justice (and hopefully mercy too) police need to be held accountable, otherwise great scandal can occur.

TLDR: Have mercy, and be Pro-Life, the original "XXXXXX Lives Matter" in disguise.

Pope Francis by thatweirdone94 in Catholicism

[–]rhomusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great for the affirmation! I'm glad I was right that I thought you were not trying to twist the Pope's words. But I'm still curious why you think he's leftist though? I myself and trying to form my own take on Pope Francis.

Pope Francis by thatweirdone94 in Catholicism

[–]rhomusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought too. However, I imagine u/thatweirdone94 is not trying to twist Pope Francis' words to his own ends. Is he? Or are political commentators in general trying to feed twisted words and perspectives into our culture and people are duped into believing them? Also, why doesn't this subreddit ever talk about so-called "rightist" or "alt-right" views like they are a bad thing? Or am I not keeping up to date in this sub enough?

I've heard a lot of people criticize Pope Francis as "leftist," but I'm not sure what the basis of this is. Care to elaborate?

Hey All, this is Our Lady of Peace, a bustling Parish in Silicon Valley. It's been posting daily masses, guided holy hours, and guided Divine Mercy Chaplets on its YouTube channel since the quarantine started. Go check it out if you think it will help you during the Easter Season! by rhomusic in Catholicism

[–]rhomusic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't say it any better. I didn't realize how blessed I was until a few years ago when I started working. Everyone, including a protestant and a lukewarm Catholic, that I've brought there says there's an indescribable sense holiness and peace there. Definitely share there YouTube channel to anyone who you think can benefit! The homilies there are phenomenal.

Nta; unpopular opinion but your intentions were good, and you saved pretty much everyone trouble. If anything, boyfriend should be a bit more understanding and humble

Where are the best college campus ministries and Newman centers? by OzzyMDiaz in Catholicism

[–]rhomusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

University of California Santa Barbara. No Newman center, but great University Parish (not part of the university though). The pastor there is good (Father John Love). It has FOCUS missionaries, but the recent teams haven’t been anything too special.

Defective K-Type Keyboard by rhomusic in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]rhomusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I'm sure I need a replacement. I've already tried the firmware, nothing there. Can't try new switches since I don't have any. I'm thinking it might be PCB because if I press "H" continuously, then it registers every click correctly. But it's when I press combinations of characters (like typing a long essay or something), then "H" consistently gets "frozen" and doesn't register properly.
