#FamilyMan been married for >15 years and have two daughters. Those three girls are my greatest love on this planet.
I consider myself a #GNU Evangelist. Learning about what #FreeSoftware was, including GNU/Linux, opened my eyes to so many things: governments aren’t the only ones stealing individual rights, I know so much less about computers than I thought I did, the idea of code, I can make a difference without having to know anyone particular.
I’m employed as contract Engineer in the Metal industry. My workplace is not yet unionized, but I’m hoping to fix that. #Union member of the #IWW IU440. I don’t have an engineering degree. After discovering Free Software I took my political scientist butt and found a call center job that paid for me to go to Community College to study Software Engineering, where I learned that I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. The blessings of God put some great opportunities in my lap at just the right time.
I’m a #Libertarian and have been for over 20 years. The love of libertarianism is what lead me to first to a BS in #political science and later to falling in love with Free Software. These days I lean toward the left side of the libertarian spectrum including being a member of the Libertarian #Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party (LSC-LP). Sometimes I call myself a #LibSoc.
I’m a huge #sports fan, but don’t following any particular sport/team super closely. Lately I’ve been getting into #Cricket in addition to my other passions of Professional #Wrestling, Lower Division North American #Soccer, NHL & College #hockey, #baseball #olympics & #rugby (union and #RugbyLeauge). My whole life used to be American #Football, but now-a-days I can’t stand it anymore than I can basketball.
I’m a #BornAgain #Christian, accepting #Jesus as my savior at age 9. Received #Believers Baptism at age 18. Received the baptism of the #HolySpirit as evident in speaking in #tougnes later that year. The #Spirit lead me to the #Catholic #Church at age 20 where I was confirmed at the Easter Vigil. I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ in #recovery from lust. #XA #SA #CR Currently in the very early stages of discernment for joining the #Ecumenical order of #Fransicans (#OEF).

@MotoAsh while I agree with you market realities do not. The more parts they’re are the more things that can break, the more things that may have warranty recalls, and the more every single part needs to be built at a profit driving up further the cost of vehicles. On top of that consistently users have reported Infotainment systems as deciding factors for their purchase and those that do aren’t buying the cars that have actual knobs and hard keys.

0·14 天前The number of “friends” I have on Diaspora* that STILL post Covid disinfo on the regular is flabbergasting. If i hadn’t met these folks in real life I would swear they were bots.
0·14 天前@GeekFTW could you imagine having 12 WWE belts?
@Teal on that sucks. It shows correctly on friendica. thanks for helping
0·17 天前@copacetic this is normal for new technologies. It used to be you couldn’t give a way a PC you bought 6 months ago, but now adays for most people a 10 year old PC is fine. With each generation of EVs getting significantly better, particularly in regards to range, this is expected.

@damnedfurry @gaja calling someone an illegal immigrant is specifically meant to dehumanize them. Right wingers don’t do that with other offenses. We don’t have illegal gun owners, illegal tax payers, illegal drivers, illegal hunters, heck they don’t even call abortionists illegal doctors.
@FrowingFostek @chonglibloodsport no reason to be respectful about it.
@LaFinlandia I love the kids in the slipknot shirt!
@GeekFTW yeah, the nxt/tna has teased a number of cross promotional title switches, but this one actually feels more likely than any of those did, even though I just learned about it today. I’m not sure exactly why, but it could be the grins & giggles as you said.
The first one was funny. It was only funny once. The second one was even bad at being bad. I guess they gotta do something to make a buck…
Natalya is still under WWE contract and wrestling for Billy?
@cupcakezealot the NXT Mexico thing is more like it is an additional developmental territory, like NXT UK used to be.
is anyone else bothered by how often politicians are making decisions over consumers? Do they really think they are smarter than the rest of us?
