I wanted to chime in here with a pro-Christianity view of LGBT acceptance. Most of it focuses on the New Testament. You can find Christian scholars on both sides of this argument.

Regarding acceptance or support, this page contains many direct bible quotes of LGBTQ-affirming scripture: https://www.sthugh.net/lgbtq-affirming-scripture (top Google search result for "pro lgbt bible quotes")

Most relevant to this discussion is:

God welcomes people of all genders and sexual identities. “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28) Also “…God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.” (Acts 10:28) Jesus gladly socialized with people that the religious establishment disapproved of. (Matthew 9:11)

And then this follow-up one:

Jesus acknowledged that gender variance exists, and he did not condemn it. “For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:12)

That page links this site, for finding local churches that share those kinds of sentiments: https://www.gaychurch.org

I will also say anecdotally, where I live (a progressive area, granted) there are usually many Christian churches that have the rainbow LGBT flag out front. What "support" means to each person in this context, I suppose will differ on which sect of the faith you practice.

Thank you!

You can definitely do this! I went to school for Computer Science, and I can recommend that in terms of a future career.

But also, it'd be immensely helpful to start experimenting on your own making small games either with Python, Godot, random javascript websites, "helper" apps like Game Maker, or even something like TI-BASIC programs if you have a TI-84 calculator. By the time I got to higher education, I already had a good amount of experience from playing around, and that really helped learn more complicated concepts later.

For Godot specifically, I can recommend looking at some of the starter templates, and challenging yourself to change some things like, the character jump height, or firing speed, etc.

@poyo facts! Yeah the site timer is "wall time", aka it remembers the time you started and shows how long since them. But can't track sleep states which on the switch do pause it.

It's possible that the builtin timer isn't actually a timer, but stops after 400 internet checks (that occur every 3 seconds) or 20 minutely checks, it gives up. More info on those requests is here: https://browsedns.net/topic/25/browser-timeout-this-screen-will-be-closed/34

I have tried faking these responses with different combinations of pretending that the connection works, and adding networking delays to the responses, but everything just still eventually dismisses the browser after 20 min of non-standby time.

@logen-churchel IT MAKES ME FEEL OLD, come back to me when you've been on YouTube for 16 years

@eepy-kirbo I've covered those kind of power strips lights with tape/stickers before, and that works pretty well. Used to have a similar problem.

could be something like carbon monoxide poisoning too, definitely contact a doctor

it's better! let me know if anything is broken or needs to be fixed

thank you for this knowledge.

Not a useful thread

I want to totally redo all the categories, I just renamed Off topic -> Hangout

so many things are redundant / ignored and could be combined, like most of the web or gaming ones lol

Also what's the difference between General and Hangout now? probably these can be merged as well

I never heard of browser.lol ! that seems really useful

For some shoutbox loading issues, you can try visiting this page directly: https://browsedns.net/shoutbox

I can replicate the same bug on Switch, looking into a fix

You can try the other DNS servers. The three are:

• 45.55.142.122
• 45.55.112.11
• 46.101.65.164

Also, check to make sure that LaneChange (the actual redirect handler) isn't disabled for your IP at: http://lanechange-controller.fortheusers.org/manage/

It should say:

No overrides for your IP currently exist.
DNS redirection will work normally.

If that still doesn't work, there are some more detailed troubleshooting steps you can do with a PC here: https://faq.fortheusers.org/#not-working

But it is possible that on some router/ISP configurations, DNS will not be able to be overridden, and the redirect won't work.

Even in those scenarios, CaptiveDNS should work, but that needs another device on the same network: https://github.com/browseDNS/CaptiveDNS
