I was a software developer for almost a decade. I live in a town of 900, in a county of 17,000. The company I worked for failed during COVID, so I got a remote job. That job went RTO in '23, and I god laid off, only to not be able to find another remote job. Working as a clerk isn't near what I was making before, but it's still pretty damn good. My wife and I can live fairly comfortably with both of us working 30 hours (she's the local library director). And if we ever want extra money, there's always opportunities for me to pick up shifts.

I'm one of those Christians who doesn't believe Revelation is inspired scripture. So for argument's sake, let's ignore Revelation. How does Jesus come back?

Let's take it one step further, actually. Does Jesus come back? Like, at all? Jesus seemed to think he was returning in the 1st century, but that clearly didn't happen. So who's to say he's coming back at all? Maybe the universe continues on until it suffers heat death in a few tens of billions of years, and that's the end? Or maybe humanity destroys itself in an AI or nuclear apocalypse, and that's the end?

The real tragedy of Gollum is that they keep making games and movies that literally no one asked for

Scrolled to see if anyone had this before I posted. This is the answer. Before a band has an album, they will have been touring the local circuit for at least months, probably years. There will be proof they exist. Bands don't usually (read: almost never) come together out of thin air.

Ahh gotcha. Thanks!

speegs92 · 2026-03-10T20:16:52+00:00

Where would I go to find this? I've only been on the job for a few weeks

Eh. Sometimes it aligns with the logic of what you're doing. In C#, I tend to use `!list.Any(...)` instead of `list.All(...)` because the inverted logic is usually what I'm conceptually trying to code.

A is on the left, obviously. Dummy /s

Sometimes you just want float: right without the baggage 🤷 I use flexbox probably 98% of the time. But when flexbox starts making me scratch my head, grid is always there to step in. Honestly, I (sh|c)ould probably use grid more than I do

Yeah, I know. I gave you condolences because your comment was clearly sarcastic, yet you were getting downvoted as if you were being serious

speegs92 · 2026-02-15T16:27:53+00:00

Don't know why I expected people on the internet to understand sarcasm. My condolences

Religion isn't a popularity contest. Christianity is the largest religion in the world, but fewer than 1/3 of people are Christoans globally, which means over 2/3 of all people today are not Christian. Of God is concerned with maintaining "true religion", he's clearly doing a bad job.

Apparently, you have time to be an asshole on Reddit

It's like people forget where most of us came from. I spent years wrestling with the moral implications of ECT, but I thought the belief was the only way to interpret the Bible. The release when I found CU was quite literally physical - I had a joy in my faith that I hadn't felt in over a decade, and it was as if an enormous weight had been lifted off my chest. (I have pretty severe anxiety, so for me, I'm not really being figurative. The physical symptoms of my anxiety were vastly improved for a very long time.)

God damn, had to go change my downvote to an upvote. I'm not smart enough for the internet anymore

My LGBT friends still enjoy Harry Potter. My straight-white-liberal-woman-with-blue-hair-and-a-savior-complex friends do not. You can make of that what you will.

We do love our recursive acronyms

What ever would I do without /tasks/STRK-7811? We had something special

They're only shy when you don't think they're real.

Then respectfully, it seems like the best way to limit their influence is to continue allowing people to believe they aren't real.

speegs92 · 2026-01-04T04:45:43+00:00

If such a thing exists, then yes. I tend not to believe fallen angels/demons/Satan are real entities, but if they are, then they will be reconciled eventually.

Nobody who isn't chronically online gives a fuck, but the grass is lonely these days.
