A quotation from Brennan Manning
In effect, Jesus says the Kingdom of His Father is not a subdivision for the self-righteous nor for those who feel they possess the state secret of their salvation. The Kingdom is not an exclusive, well-trimmed suburb with snobbish rules about who can live there. No, it is for a larger, homelier, less self-conscious cast of people who understand they are sinners because they have experienced the yaw and pitch of moral struggle.
Brennan Manning (1934-2013) American author, laicized priest, theologian, speaker [Richard Francis Xavier Manning]
The Ragamuffin Gospel, ch. 1 “Something Is Radically Wrong” (1990)More about this quote: wist.info/manning-brennan/8368…

🤣 Oh, fantastic! Another GitHub repo that thinks it's the second coming of sliced bread, now with the added bonus of being an Apple Silicon snob. 🎩 Because clearly, your #AI fine-tuning isn't legit unless it's running on overpriced hardware with fancy acronyms. 🙄

Her concluding para states the bleading obvious that somehow gets missed by our polies:
“This problem was not caused by public schools. It was caused by ideologically driven governments, snobbery, greedy churches, anxious parents and a pusillanimous bureaucracy. There are solutions. They could be implemented. Other countries have managed it perfectly well. All we need is a leader with some guts.”

I did something I rarely do. I let myself sleep late on a work day. Not too late, but later than usual.
The last few nights I have had the worst sleep. Barely five hours on Sunday and Monday nights. Less than five hours on Tuesday night. I was practically in a coma for much of the day yesterday. I needed sleep so badly.
Last night? Almost seven hours. Still not enough sleep, but so much more than I’ve been getting. Bliss. I usually set an alarm on my watch for 5:00am. Jen has an alarm set for a half an hour after that, but I am usually down cellar exercising before her alarm goes off.
Today? I slept until a little after 6:00. It meant I was running behind throughout my entire morning routine, but it was worth it. I’ll still probably be asleep on my feet by around 7:00pm tonight, but for now? I feel a little better.
Okay then, part two of this post is going to deal with Star Wars: The Acolyte and it is ABSOLUTELY SPOILER FILLED. If you haven’t watched the show, bail out now. I have two stupid comments that are burning a hole in my tiny little brain and I have to get them out and THEY ARE SPOILERS so you have been warned.
Seriously… if you want to watch the show and you haven’t yet, get out now.
You have been warned… again…
Last warning…
Okay. So this is the same comment made twice. Once is me being a snob, the other is me getting mine.
Before the show aired, people online were over the moon about Carrie-Anne Moss playing Jedi Master Indara. People who’ve read the High Republic books and/or comics were all excited about what a bad ass warrior Indara is and how viewers were going to be over the moon at how awesome she is. Also… it’s freakin’ Carrie-Anne Moss. People were foaming at the mouth over having such an awesome actor in the cast.
Episode one… the first scene… Carrie-Anne Moss as Jedi Master Indara in a lightsaber fight. This is it! Here it comes… oh… she’s dead… oh.
I laughed out loud knowing that the internet would be turned on its ear over that scene. People were going to be pissed and it made me happy. Screw your expectations! Take that, know it all book readers! I was just tickled.
Fast forward to episode five. The episode was awesome. They saved up a whole season’s worth of action scenes and threw them all in our face at once. Just fight after fight after fight. It was fantastic. When Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon started fighting our dark side bad guy, the action was incredible. I was watching on my laptop and I thought to myself, if they want to do a spin off show where this kid just fights everyone, I will be totally, 100% on board… oh… she’s dead… oh… I guess that’s what I get for laughing at the Indara fans… Okay… I totally got what was coming to me. Serves me right for being snobby about people being snobby. Lesson learned, Acolyte. Lesson learned.
Okay, the spoilers have ended. You may go on with the rest of your day now. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I appreciate your patience.

I may have hit Peak Film Snobbery #today when someone asked me "have you seen the new Tom Hanks movie?" and I replied "no, but I have seen the original Swedish movie it's based on".

@VigusMaximus In a twist of fate, I am having beer instead of whiskey.

@joseph @lauren True, but it can become "evil" when pointing out #FediverseHurdles or #MastodonHurdles is responded to with techie #snobbery ... every time a #newbie expresses frustration with an unintuitive #ux and the reaponse is a haughty #rtfm, you're likely to lose a potential new addition to the #community. We should all aim to make newcomers feel welcome, and an #intuitive ux is essential to that.

It's important that those who work on bringing the #fediverse together don't fall into the #snobbery trap when they hear #newbies complain about the navigation within it. We do understand that we're not in federated clones of #fecesbook or the #birdsite but those sites became popular because they did do some things right. People want #news, #community and #entertainment, so it's important to make navigating such areas of human interaction #intuitive and easy.

We would say to them that writing-off articles based on the domain name being non-mainstream is the definition of #snobbery.Do they have something against archive.org?
