That's the point. Are you aware of The Satanic Temple and their work on the separation of church and state?

You've listened to the Pete Seeger song though right? Solidarity Forever is based on The Battle Hymn of the Republic. They both use an AAAB rhyming scheme and I think are in iambic octameter but I'm not a professional. Pete Seeger didn't write it, but I love his rendition. He's got alot of great labor songs.

I've done the same. You can get some obscure stuff from soulseek if Lidarr isn't finding all the stuff you want. I'm mostly using that and just using Lidarr for organizing and tracking.

You're 100% right about the plexamp DJs. They're super good. Love the deepcuts one.

In the book there are some references to Rita (Emily Blunt) fighting in various places and I think her getting her start in South America. Might be remembering that one wrong, but a prequel with her learning how to fight the monsters would have been good if they stuck more to the book.

I'm running deluge in a docker container on unraid and I have this same issue in Firefox but not in Chrome. I also have authentication problems in qBittorrent in Firefox that don't happen in Chrome. It's literally the only thing I use Chrome for unfortunately.

I use a steam deck for about 2/3 of my gaming and I rarely have issues with games. That said, I mostly play indie games, but there is so much of my library that is supported that I'm never going to run out of things to play. Proton has really done wonders for gaming on Linux. Are you wanting to play multiplayer games or brand new releases? Or are you more of the patient gamer type?

I wouldn't run steamos on a full desktop, but you can still get a lot of the benefits just by using steam on Linux. Definitely recommend trying it out.

This is the way to go. You aren't under an obligation to change someone's beliefs. If they reach out to you, be a support and offer help. Be a good example of an atheist by being a good friend.

If you really feel the need to push, something non confrontational like the street epistemology approach might work well.

We can know that certain gods are false simply because they are logically incoherent, but sure, the non falsifiable concepts are simply that, non falsifiable. I'm atheist because I don't believe in a god, not necessarily because I believe any specific god doesn't exist.

I'm with you that putting others down for their beliefs is cringy, but we shouldn't pretend that having a belief in a god without evidence to back it up is reasonable. There absolutely is a way to know a creator exists, and if they're powerful enough to create the universe, they know exactly how to demonstrate that.
