Do you believe in God?
No
I was almost 14 years old when I lost my faith. I grew up in severe poverty, was severely depressed due to bullying and my weight, and I am LGBT. I found a website listing the inconsistencies in the Bible. I attempted to show my grandmother, who proceeded to laugh in my face. So I kept reading, then I came to a conclusion on my own.
The moment it finally "clicked" it honestly felt like a weight off my shoulders. Like I'd finally was free. My lack of faith hasn't waivered since then.

Reddit blackout and second growth wave
The AMA has led some subreddits to not only go private early, but to also state that it would be indefinite until there were changes. /r/videos is the biggest one I know. So we'll probably have another wave if it gets bad enough / there is admin intervention.

Here we go, the AMA with /u/spez is live
See that "A:"?. He edited it out of his comment. Copying / pasting canned "answers".

High Prices Make Textbook ‘Piracy’ Acceptable to Most Students
When I was in community college the teachers made homework / quizzes 30% of our grade. That homework was locked behind a pin code that could only be accessed by buying the textbook. Mess up on one test and that was an automatic failure (C's minimum to transfer). COVID came along and I dropped school altogether. Seems its only getting worse. Not sure if I even want to go back.

what web browser do you use and why?
Ever since I got my first laptop when I was a young teenager it's been Firefox. With Google exploring deleting blockers like uBlock Origin I see no reason to switch.

When do you brush your teeth?
Before bed 99% of the time. If I'm leaving the house then I'll brush before I do.

What is the last movie you watched and how was it?
Avatar: The Way of Water
I liked it. Not much happens story wise but I love exploring the lore and stuff of Pandora.

Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already?
Looks like it's been here for a while (worldbuilding), just isn't that active.

for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
Been on reddit for almost a decade. Watched it fall from a great website to the current day shithole. I'm relieved actually.

What visual medium do you imagine your world in?
Same as the real world. I have a real vivid imagination. I can see people's faces, their posture, what they're wearing, what they're doing, etc. I can hear wagons traveling on a muddy road, the sounds of weapons clashing, the moans of the dying, idle chatter and more. It's very easy to daydream and put myself in the world.

Tomorrow many subreddits will open up again, will you switch back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy (or use both)
Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don't see no point in going back.

EU could move step closer to digital euro this October, Lagarde says
What are the implications of a cashless society? The only thing that comes to mind are increased government tracking and no way to buy things should computers / power go down.

What are the main challenges in Linux adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed?

Agree with pretty much everything. If I have to fight just to do basic shit why should I bother with it? My tools of the trade don't work on it, a lot of my games don't work on it, and my computer itself might not work on it (also AMD here). There's no value to using it. Just a lot of headaches.
