Trust The Light - KNOWER One of those “I’m dealing with heavy shit and need some help getting out of bed” songs. Not traditionally “motivational-sounding”, but idk it works for me.
And probably most of the Undertale OST. Idk I put a lot of emotional weight behind a lot of those tracks.
“thoughts and prayers are the baseline for gun control” and other supernatural beliefs meant to steer people away from actually changing anything
In before “how were we supposed to know the candidate who Pelosi backed would lie about this?”
I’m thirding the Supernote. I use my Nomad almost every single day. I also get to use my favorite pen shape with it since the Lamy Safari has an EMR variation. Being able to link notes to other notes almost feels like a better version of Obsidian if you like handwriting and sketching (though it’s obviously not as fast to link compared to Obsidian because hotkeys on a computer are faster than using a pen on a slow-ish e-ink display). I also use it to read and take notes on ebooks.
You’re right. The sacrifice and martyrdom is a huge part of being a Christian (which is likely why the cross is used). I’m not sure how I had forgotten that a huge theme among Christians is self sacrifice and Jesus dying for our sins.
But what makes Jesus special, at least from my perspective, wasn’t that he was martyred since others in the Bible were as well. It was the claim he was the son of god offering to save us from damnation, which is validated by the resurrection. Idk I think I just find the cross kind of macabre as a symbol of religion (and as a tool of punishment in general of course). Back when I was a Christian decades ago, I was also anti-cross lol
I’ve wondered if Jesus was killed via guillotine, if people would be wearing little gold guillotines around their neck.
I’m not a Christian, but I think symbolically, his torture wasn’t the important part, but the rising from the dead thing. So why not have a solid circle 🔴(stone) offset from a circular ring ⭕️, referencing that whole “stone was rolled away from the tomb because resurrection” thing?
I have a board game friend who is very into Behind the Bastards and has recently been using accelerationism out of nowhere. Not sure if behind the bastards is the cause for sure though since I don’t listen to it.
I was able to get a really good deal on a second-hand a6700 that seemed barely used when I got it. It’s definitely not small enough to put in a pocket and it’s still too expensive not to baby. It’s amazing for video and I love the sony color science (controversial). I use it for work as well as if I feel the need for media that has more flexibility in post.
For “I’d like to remember this event” type photos where resolution and accuracy aren’t the priority, I usually just bring along a disposable-looking plastic 35mm camera I can just toss in a bag and hand it to friends/family if they want a picture. Unfortunately, a lot of these kinds of cameras seem to be inconsistent. I had a Kodak Ektar camera and the film advance wheel broke within a week. I also have a Ricoh RZ-900 I got from the thrift store and a bag of expired unused fujifilm rolls for $20. It’s not a great camera (and I suspect it will die soon since the motors sound very bad), but it works for what I need it to do.
