    What was the first CD you ever acquired?

    The first one I ever received? I'm pretty sure it was either Flashback: The Best of The J. Geils Band or some Alan Jackson CD (my parents were really into country at the time; I think there may have been one song on it that prompted them to get it for me or something). Considering I still have...

    Investing with Acorns

    I've been using it since the middle of 2016 during/after a stretch of six weeks where I didn't get any hours at my job. It invests the money in the account in a selection of index funds based on the aggressiveness level the user designates - I'm pretty sure it's just Vanguard funds, but maybe...

    What are you listening to right now? (24)

    Bay News 9. After spending the day boarding up the windows and making sure essentials are accounted for/packed up if we have to get out of the house. Probably won't really calm down until it makes landfall and we know exactly how strong it'll be when it gets near us. We're in a non-evacuation...

    TLT Catholics (and other Liberals) An American Flag displayed at Churches?

    Probably this one. To be honest, the first time I ever saw that thing was here on CF, although afterwards I did notice it in the Methodist parish we grew up in. The intent in creating it back in the 1890s might have been 'good', but it's just so...cringe-y. I take a pretty hard line on...

    The Lord's Table own What are you listening to?

    The Birthday Massacre - Under Your Spell The whole album. It's more or less been on a loop since Friday.

    WWMC Name Change Interest Poll and Discussion

    Most of things that came to my mind were too cheeky for their own good. Or just as vague as the current title, even if a bit more pointed - like "In omnibus caritas". I don't like the idea of using any variation of the term safe space, though - that would just be catnip for trolls.

    Ubuntu 18.04 To Ship with GNOME Desktop, Not Unity

    Personally, the presence or non-presence of Unity means nothing to me. It was little more than a toy as far as I was concerned - and one of the articles about the decision to drop them confirmed that insisting on Unity and Mir ended up costing Canonical millions of dollars in revenue, so it...

    Ubuntu 18.04 To Ship with GNOME Desktop, Not Unity

    See below. Yes, they have. Ubuntu makes releases every six months, in April and October. This is referenced explicitly in the version numbers: YY.MM (16.04 was released in 2016 April). The only exception to this was the very first LTS release, 6.06 "Dapper Drake". It was supposed to be a...

    Covers that Outshine Originals

    IMO, the original Rolling Stones version is too upbeat for the subject matter.

    Because the world isn't perfectly balanced on the backs of all those turtles?

    Flat Earth

    Easy: the [entire outside world|government|society|Democrats|Illuminati] is a giant conspiracy to persecute [you|Christians|racists|Republicans|fuzzy bunny rabbits] and turn us all into [Communists|sheep|atheists|fascist anarchists*|jaywalkers]. Given the kind of perfect marginalized high and...

    Flat Earth

    Heliocentrism is simply that the Sun is the center of our Solar System, not the center of the galaxy or the universe. Our neighboring star systems orbit the same thing our system does - the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.

    Flat Earth

    For people other than the FES believing it, a couple fringe figures or conspiracistic personalities pop up from time to time. It is a thought-provoking discussion to broach the reasons why people would believe that in this day and age, and how we as a society have failed to properly educate...

    Flat Earth

    Considering this is the Methodist section of this forum, it would make sense to quote directly from the United Methodist Church's statement on Science and Technology: The UMC is the largest Methodist denomination, and like other Mainline churches, it isn't hostile to established science. It...

    Unrealistic Teachings

    We had the 'follow-up' to DARE in 7th grade: GREAT, to deter a bunch of [in my class' case, predominantly] middle and upper middle class white kids in the school's technology and science magnet program from joining inner city gangs (also to wit, the school itself was located in a ritzier part of...

    The Denomination Quiz

    Episcopal/Anglican Church (100%) Evangelical Lutheran Church (93%) Methodist/Wesleyan Church (89%) Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (78%) Seventh-Day Adventist (78%) The results really aren't surprising (except for LCMS and SDA showing up in the Top 5, but I'm guessing that's due to the points...

    mainline churches less welcomming of non-whites

    The problem I can most immediately see here is that you're not necessarily even dealing with the pastor at that point: how often is it the rest of the administration doing that work - I'd want to see a breakdown of how the responses went based on who responded: I'd expect (hope, rather) that if...

    Gary Thomas: 6 signs he/she isn't marriage material

    The beef I usually have whenever discussions of porn 'addiction' (what they describe is 'compulsion', not 'addiction'; addiction is a physical dependence) come up is that it's ascribing a lot more power and influence to something that in reality does not have nearly the level of control that...

    It's been a month

    I still have to fight back occasional waves of nausea when I remember the situation. Even reminding myself that Hillary got 2.9 million more votes really only makes it worse, but it at least helps to remember that it was still a very, very fragile win for Trump and that there is a strong...
