As an expert in claiming to be an expert on the internet I can confidently say no
Hahahahaha what a great answer!
You're absolutely right
You understand my current state of mind.
I just stopped believing in existence of deities and the existence of inherent meaning of life (not to mistake it with value of life).
The world is just a mess beyond our comprehension and we tend to attribute random events beyond our comprehension to the grand plan of things.
I do think that life is much more beautiful with the acceptance of atheism, mortality (no afterlife), personal and sexual freedom. I tend to just enjoy the moment and the life I have while I still have it knowing that this is it, this isn't a preparation for what comes next. This is it.
I'm still against mocking religion because I find it to be in poor taste, in the same vein like mocking someones gender, nationality, sexual orientation.
Peanut butter + Raw Carrots / Cucumbers / Apples / Bananas / Cottage Cheese / Pickles / Raisins / Raw Celery
Yes I absolutely love peanut butter and eat huge quantities of it.
MIne was from 2007. So not as old as yours. Yes, there are many things connected to it, but you can't imagine what a feeling of relief that is.
I'm in a very similar situation like you are. I too have started to be annoyed with the Big Tech products and the Internet in general.
I have switched to Lemmy, shut down my gmail account and opened a Proton Mail, and switched from using Google search engine to Qwant.
I too have switched to Linux Mint, and I'm loving it. TBH my IT colleauges talked me into buying refurbished Thinkpad laptop and told me to install Linux Mint. Boy am I glad I did that.
The next step for me is switching to Fairphone :D
Yes, dosens of times.
I grew up in eastern europe and things work differently there.
Oftentimes the cops would fish for bribes. Cops would pick you up on the street/stop you in traffic and search you/your car/whatever in hopes of finding something to hook onto and escalate the situation further and put you in a legally difficult situation.
Then they would generously offer that they can make it all go away if somebody from your family comes and brings X amount of money.
This didn't happen just to me, in most countries of the former eastern block that's just a fact of life.
