Bit late to the party, but I picked up an EliteBook 840 G5 and flashed Fedora to it with little to no issues. Suspend is a dream, the keyboard is meh.

This thing.

UPDATE: I’ve settled on a Moto G 5G (2024), it seems to run LineageOS with MicroG well.

I find that my best writing happens within those hours. It is, after all, the witching hour.

Most of it, specifically the not being strictly “Christian” anymore and the being queer/nonbinary.

Nano for low-level system crap (config, scripting, etc) and Obsidian/Typora/Insert WYSIWYG editor here for major writing. I’ll utilize LibreOffice if I need something done in a Windows-compliant way.

I wish there were more people here, unfortunately there seem to be a lot of basket cases as well. Lemmy as a whole seems to quite enjoy removed about anyone who holds the idea that something more might exist within this lovely world of ours. Maybe an introduction thread could be in order?

A community created by myself for all things Episcopal.

I’m glad it federates well, I want this community to reach as many as possible.

I’m upvoting this because of the sheer hilarity, not because I believe fish can talk. In Hebrew or otherwise.

Hey, I mean this with complete respect and no judgment at all, but it sounds like you are under an immense amount of real-world stress right now with your family and housing situation. When you mentioned ignoring your meds and hearing things in your phone, it really sounds like a sign to pause. I think you’d be much better served talking to a doctor or a mental health professional right now who can help you navigate all this heavy stuff safely rather than an online group discussing potentially triggering topics.

I’m one to agree. It all matters what you feed into.

Trump Humpers are generally evangelical, so I’m going to assume they mean a massive gathering.

Or a cancerous mass, which is what I’d consider them to be. 😂

I remember when Coca Cola had a coffee flavor thing going on, I quite enjoyed that. Yes, I realize it sounds gross, but it was surprisingly refreshing.

Ooh, I once mixed Captain Morgan Coconut Rum with pineapple Fanta and the result was quite refreshing!

Grape soda and chocolate ice cream float.

I was homeschooled until age 15, then I was placed with a Christian homeschooling group that met in an elderly woman’s home. Now, at 24, I’m still working toward earning my GED.

While I accept that there may be situations where homeschooling is necessary, I believe it should be heavily regulated. Ideally, a private school would be a much better option.

I was more or less a social outcast, and I got bullied by other students. We eventually moved to a setup where schooling took place in a rented church hall when things truly hit the fan. The head “teacher’s” secretary’s son once accosted me in the bathroom. When I reported it, I was reprimanded and threatened with bad grades.

It was a creationist program using PACE—Packets of Accelerated Christian Education—with the Bible as its core curriculum. We did eventually get a new Physics teacher who would occasionally try to sprinkle in tidbits of common sense, which was nice.

All in all, it was a total waste. Who would’ve thought that telling a kid they’re going to burn in Hell for not understanding a math problem would mess them up?

TL;DR: Homeschooling isn’t a solution.

Slowly making my way through the Ars Notoria, also The Three Books Of Occult Philosophy. I’ve also taken a particular interest in the plight of the late Ida Craddock.

That’s lovely. For myself and my mobile altars, I’ve decided to keep images of my spirits within my memory palace.

My pendulum (usually my rosary) is my most useful tool. My methods are a bit unconventional, sure, but it still serves me well. I use it as everything from a pinpoint tool to a directional scope of sorts for my spells and rituals.
