Did you know that before crowbars were invented, they used to drink at home?

Instagram also auto skips some reels (i.e. makes it look like you swiped up on it when you didn’t), and then shows you the same ad you just skipped right after.

In my area, there are special schools dedicated to hosting expelled kids. It most certainly makes things worse and not better.

Oh! Ok. I was under the impression the verbiage had the word Reject in it somewhere; that’s on me. It makes much more sense now, and I get what you’re saying. Thanks for the clarification!

I personally have never seen a pay to reject. What types of websites have you come across that do that? I’m genuinely curious.

Ironically they are making it much more difficult to consume by making wages stagnant, while increasing inflation. I can’t wait for it to backfire on them.

Nothing will get better.

Ironic given the community you’re posting to, and its own rules. But 🤷‍♂️.

I can’t help but feel Douglas was poking fun at himself, considering how his editors had to lock him in a room to finish So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.

Yes. Correct.

Hey, maybe they enjoy the bone-jarring slam that happens in the middle of the night when the seat slips out of their hand and slams down like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

Who are we to judge? 🤣

It literally crumbled under the weight! 🤣

We shall see. I have yet to go back to the store.

Would this count in your book?

Thank you for confirming what I said. 😊

This may or may not help, but here’s my two cents:

Windows was originally built to be as user-friendly as possible because its target audience are non-tech-savvy people. It then evolved into being a business OS. So security was never its first priority.

UNIX was built for tech savvy people to do business-sensitive stuff, and required sophisticated security models. Linux was modeled after UNIX (Minix specifically), and thus inherited those same principles. It evolved to become more user friendly. But security remained a priority.

Now, that said, both Windows and Linux are configurable. You can make Windows more secure with effort, just like you can make Linux less secure with effort (and I don’t mean simply using root all the time).

There are diehards on both sides , and they will make excellent (or terrible) arguments for their favored OS. So you need to decide what works best for you and your use case and go with that. 😊

Ths might be an over generalization, but it’s my layman’s understanding that all Native American and Latino people migrated over from Europe-Asia; some went south and colonized Mexico and Central America, while others went to Canada and also the US. So if that’s true, then I would imagine they’d have some shared lineage.

I still sometimes face the shelves because I’ve been there and I want to show solidarity.

Tell that to my girlfriend… oh wait. 😢 😂

Counseling is the way to go. It’s going to take a lot of time, a lot of opening up, and being honest with your counselor and yourself. Don’t expect to see results immediately. You will get frustrated with the process. But you have to keep going.

Also, don’t be afraid to find a new counselor if your current one isn’t working for you. And only you will know what that means. But when you find the right one, it will make a huge difference for you.

At the same time, you may need to give your therapist multiple chances. What I mean by that is that you will not always see eye to eye with them. And that’s okay; especially if they’re challenging you to move past something big. But if you constantly feel something is off, then trust your gut. This is about what’s best for you.

I genuinely wish you the very best of luck.
