I'd bring back Logsday.

I'm less of a former Christian and more of a thinks-outside-the-box Christian, but I think Mat Kearney is pretty solid regardless of what you believe. Sufjan Stevens is awesome too, but a bit of an aquired taste.

My first concert was Newsboys and Supertones (Newsboys was the opener, it was pretty early for them). Saw FIF a year or two later. Saw Insyderz at a smaller event a few years after that. To this day I get to say I've seen the three "big" Christian ska bands live.

What a wild time. Jars is still on a regular rotation for me (Flood and Liquid are both bangers, and their Christmas album is one of my favorite holiday albums).

What other band is going to write a song about Different Strokes? FIF is still part of my regular rotation.

Do you have a unique pet name for your sweetheart? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Not sure if it counts as it's not really a pet name, but when one of us is looking for the other, we make dinosaur noises. The query has an upward inflection ("raahhhh?") and the response has a downward inflection ("rahh!").

At first it was just around the house. Now it's in public too.

I wonder how many male, middle aged US filmmakers regularly call it a "director's cut" when carving up the thanksgiving turkey for their family. (lemmy.world)

I mean, I would. Every year, all the time.

There are some benefits (depending on where you live), but if it's not for you, keep doing what you're doing. If your family or friends give you pressure, you might need to have a serious talk with them at some point, but otherwise you do you.

There are some situations where there's a significant advantage, though. Adoption is one--most agencies will consider (legally married) couples before unmarried folks. Which is unfortunate, but it's where things are at the moment. Probably some other cases too. But if you and your partner are of a similar mind, you can go to the courthouse and sign the paperwork, and even have a prenup in place if you want, and it doesn't have to be a "thing."

It's okay. My wife has ADHD and anxiety, and many many tabs. She calls them her "emotional support tabs."

I can't speak for the developers, but I'm certainly judging you.

My therapist said I had impasta syndrome.

My wife didn't seem to like it when I whispered sweet nothings to her (lemmy.world)
 

I told her I ate all the candy. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

Just swim across--the crocodiles are still at the meeting.

All the animals on the African savanna got together for a meeting (lemmy.world)
 

but they couldn't start because someone was missing. Who was it?

It was the giraffe. It's still stuck in the fridge.

I applied for a job at the sunscreen factory, but I didn't get it. (lemmy.world)
 

It's okay, though. They told me to reapply every few hours.

What did you have to learn the hard way? (lemmy.world)
 

Bonus points if someone warned you and you went ahead anyway.

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains was a monastery. (lemmy.world)
 

It was founded by a group of monks from the southern USA. Rather than building a chapel, they chose to live in a series of underground tunnels. The nearest town only saw the elusive monks once a year, when they would break their usual stoic diet and make traditional southern fried chicken for everyone in town.

They were known as the deep friars.
