I, like you, code for myself not others and not professionally. Take a dive into Xcode and Swift if you’re in the Apple world. It is just stupid easy to throw together an app or tool in no time at all.

I am going to go against the (obviously upvoted) grain and say that I do not want this to be a reprise of /r/movies. That is what they did and I am stupidly against reproducing the /r experience. I don’t want community “structure” I want to see what people have to say without conforming to a proscribed way of doing it. Having said that, if you post the thread: “current releases”, “what did you watch”, etc - I would happily engage with you about it.
Thanks for saving me a click. I could tell by the wording it was a likely click-bait but I was intrigued because Tina rocks.
Can’t read the article - it wants me to turn off my ad blocker.

There is only one way to make people talk more than they care to. Listen. Listen with hungry earnest attention to every word. In the intensity of your attention, make little nods of agreement, little sounds of approval. You can’t fake it. You have to really listen. In a posture of gratitude. And it is such a rare and startling experience for them, such a boon to ego, such a gratification of self, to find a genuine listener, that they want to prolong the experience. And the only way to do that is to keep talking. A good listener is far more rare than an adequate lover.

My family put us to the church as kids as little as needed to prove that they exposed us to it. I thank them for that minimal exposure because I’ve always felt agnostic (of course, that was verbalized as atheism as a kid). My mom was raised German christian, my dad was raised Quaker.
I think that the most meaningful lessons I learned about religion were from my father (who never once mentioned god, Jesus or the church).
My father’s religion was one of acceptance of all others, refusal of indoctrination to any structured religion and an absolute knowledge that men (and women) make their faith and their covenant to each other, not to a church. Thanks, dad!
