Yes! I was going to start a similar thread. I’m not much of a gamer. Was a Nintendo kid growing up in the 90s. Played games in the early 2000s - mainly sports games. Have some older consoles but largely very behind on gaming and never had a gaming PC. Was playing Skyrim on an old laptop but now have upgraded to a true gaming PC. First, I’ve modded the hell out of Skyrim to make the world feel more alive. Also trying my hand at Baldur’s Gate 3. Any recommendations? I’m open to pretty much all genres.

Somewhat related, I’ve read a lot of hatred being hurled at Belgium in regards to soccer. Can you explain the anti-Belgian thing? They seem like a tiny country that nobody really cares about with a soccer team that is like second or third tier in Europe. I know they’re highly ranked but that’s it. Why do non-US soccer fans seem to hate them?

Sort of related…
I’m a latecomer to IT and information security. I spent most of my career in sales until going back to school for InfoSec. I started off in a help-desk role three years ago and I’m currently the information security engineer for a small IT team. I basically handle all security tasks: network, web, IAM, audits, etc. I’m 42, so this was a later-in-life transition. My boss is younger than me by at least 7 years and is far more knowledgeable than I.
Anyways…I have found myself to be very interested in application/web app security. The thing is, I can’t code. I rely mainly on vuln scanning and static code testing, with a little bit of pen testing knowledge thrown in. Any advice on where I should start if I want to learn more about app development and coding?

“I have to admit, if you had asked me who Markwayne Mullin was, I would have bet $1000 he was a black kid who played defensive line in the SEC, what kind of name is Markwayne anyway?”
“Turnover is generally bad…”
If he was a defensive lineman, it would be good.

I seem to remember someone on this site posting about a study or studies about how men of husband/father age were the unhappiest and/or most depressed group of people. I think the age range was like 30-55 or something. Anyone know about this? Am I making it up? Can’t seem to find it.

Not sure where I am going with this comment, but I’m surprised at the number of negative or respectful reactions I’ve seen. Yes, there have been people who are happy, celebrating, or at least unsympathetic about the shooting.
But I’ve also see that the Yankees had a moment of silence for Kirk before last night’s game and that an MTSU administrator was fired for her comments about the shooting. Can’t provide links ATM, and these are just a sample, but I feel like this is a sea change. When was the last time you saw outrage of this level because of something that happened to a conservative?

Is asking questions about a potential project allowed here?
I want to setup a basic home networking/security lab. I have a bunch of old computers, and I have a few years of experience in IT and cybersecurity.
My goal is to have some stuff I can pentest and just generally mess around with to build my skills.
I think I’m just overwhelmed with the options and the different guides out there.

Maybe this is better suited to the Wednesday Wellness thread, but what is a good workout routine for an overweight forty year old man? I actually love lifting. I did power lifting in high school and would love to do the “big four” (bench, squat, deadlift, overhead) in addition to assistance exercises. There are so many plans and progressions out there. It’s overwhelming.

Is Kenneth Gainwell an example of nominative determinism?

Interesting. I wonder if there will be any push from the international community to either boycott or move the Olympics and World Cup. I don’t think it will succeed, but I wouldn’t be surprised at some push for it.

I find myself thinking of this comment often. I am having a hard time not being happy about the misfortunes of the people I consider “my enemies” and the “bad guys.” I know it’s wrong, and I catch my thinking, but it comes so naturally, almost like an instinct.
I also struggle with my temper. I’m not hot tempered, per se, but I get aggravated easily and have a hard time controlling it.
Finally, I am having a hard time praying and easing Scripture daily. I am attempting to pray the Daily Office but finding the time and effort is hard.
Sorry, I really only meant to post the first paragraph, but it turned into me whining and venting.

And don't even get me started on phone gambling. The idea of people losing huge sums of money without ever leaving their house or talking to anyone is horrifying to me.
The widespread legalization of sports betting, and to a lesser extent the ubiquity of fantasy sports, have largely ruined sports media coverage. You can’t watch ESPN or listen to a sports talk show or podcast without seeing or hearing numerous gambling ads. Most networks have at least one show dedicated to gambling. Even normal sports coverage (NFL Sunday and similar) is constantly scrolling lines and prop bets as they talk about each team.
It used to be that just some people would talk about it, and they always seemed insufferable. Now it’s a major topic of sports talk, to the point where the actual games and outcomes are largely considered secondary to the lines and the spread.

If you’re a Browns fan, you gotta be feeling down. Since they came back into the league in 1999, it’s been nothing but a slog. They’ve played three playoff games in that time. And they think that maybe, finally, this is their time. And then this past week happens and Watson happens and it’s just the same old Browns.

I don’t have major hopes for the Patriots this year. I’d like them to be competitive, and I’d prefer that to stinking up the joint again and getting a good draft pick. I’d rather see them try, and to build a winning attitude, and use that to attract talent and keep building.
That said, if they get to 2-0, I’ll start to get excited. Again, they’re not winning a title (okay, in my heart of hearts I want that to be the case and a part of me will always believe it can happen), but if they can compete for a playoff spot and play spoiler, while I pig out on wings and beer, I will take it.

Men get PTSD flashbacks to all the normalized relational violence they've suffered.
Can you please expand on this a bit? I’m not sure what you mean.

This is amazing and very insightful. I think you hit the nail on the head with the idea of being aware of the choice to sin just before it happens, so you can address it. Thank you.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.”
This is an aside, but as an extremely imperfect Christian who is trying to be better, how do you do it? I don’t think I hate anyone, but I certainly have a hard time loving and praying for my enemy. I’ll take any advice you got.
I mentioned this in another thread, but I finally have a gaming PC. I am far behind on gaming. The newest console I have is from 2012. I never had a gaming PC. I am open to any games of any genre from the last 30 years. I love RPGs, but open to anything. Bonus if it’s cheap.
