Make sure to support your local news sources too. Lots of great suggestions here for staying up to date with national and world news, but your local newspapers serve a valuable role in keeping up to date on what local governments are doing in your communities, and holding them accountable.

Thanks! Definitely adding that book to my list.
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."
Yep, we could load a template to follow but it was just a lot of clicking pixels to change "FARTY" back to "PARTY," rinse, repeat.
I was really bummed about missing r/place, I had so much fun last time. Definitely going to add my efforts to the cause.
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.
A lot is probably just because of the sheer volume of people over there, whatever the interest was, there'd be plenty of people who were really into that thing. I miss subs like r/whatisthisthing and r/tipofmytongue that worked because just by exposing it to so many people, there was a good chance of coming across someone who was actually familiar with it already.
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.
You can just go to more > activity and it’s right there.

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.
