I’ve been there and all I can say is that the brain is a miraculous organ and can heal really well from a lot of trauma. You just have to stop damaging it, learn how to work with your brain rather than having your brain work for you, and exercise it. Challenge yourself to learn an easy skill, then another, then another.

And incomplete vehicle internal combustion. You could smell that a car had driven by for a good few minutes after it left. Walking beside a road just always had that smell.

Look into:

Talescale for an easy but limited option.

Wireguard with a dynamic DNS service for something that provides more flexibility with a little set up.

Don’t open a publicly facing port unless it’s for an encrypted tunnel. If you don’t want to open your computer to a lot of threats. Always use an encrypted tunnel when opening something to the Internet.

Nintendo and Disney aren’t evil because they’re cooperations, not people. It’s the people who sit on top of Disney and Nintendo who are either diabolically evil or spineless cowards who want money and power but are too scared to use it for good. Either way, Nintendo and Disney “don’t serve the public interest”.

They’d have to stand up for themselves first.

Some of them would gladly send 220M people to their deaths, it’s their fucking wildest dream to send all ‘the bad ones’ away for good. This is literally devolving into humanity at its worst.

What was Siemens doing during 1935 through to 1945?

Typically no but I’m not willing to dive into furry communities to find out

I’ve had my posts swamped by downvotes at least once by saying “I not pro-Palestine, I’m pro-People” as if I have to favor factions rather than, you know, being against the victimization of people who did nothing to deserve it quite independently of whatever label they’re tagged with.

I think part of the reason being pro-people makes others angry is because everyone is so polarized politically. A lot more people than usual are approaching politics expecting that you’re either supporting my ideals or not supporting them. Which may as well be opposing them and opposing ‘our’ ideals is your moral failing. Nuance is gone, the political center is gone. At least until there are some serious changes.

I agree with you, I was vague and that came across as a bit of a both sides argument. My bad.

Because the left has been holding onto the false hope that things still work like they did up until the 2000s. The left hopes that someday we can return to a place where we disagree with each other but we can work toward a compromise that works for everyone. Then the 2000s hit and both sides began to move away from the center until they’re not able to even communicate with each other in good faith. Now the right wants to perpetrate a genocide and the left is too worried about breaking the rules

Well he’s in hell now.

Ah the paradox of tolerance.

I mean it’s really easy to misspell Nazi Germany as Muslims when the basic literacy rate is only 15 points above 50.

There have been a few techno-cults and tech-worshipers. The one that always comes to my mind in these discussions is Terry Davis and his creation Temple OS. Terry Davis was a troubled man who did many inappropriate things, which did hurt people, and he did eventually take his own life. With that said, he believed that the Christian God exists and a person can hear him through computers. With that belief he built Temple OS, God’s digital temple. It’s really interesting.

That’s a common rule here except that you can use vacation days to extend a long weekend. You just have to be present for the scheduled shift before and after. A vacation day you’re not scheduled so it doesn’t count. However if you book an extra day off from the long weekend and miss your first scheduled shift after your vacation day you lose your holiday pay.

…did the NRA just do something I agree with? This is indeed the darkest timeline.

Ah see you’re making a common mistake when reading the law. Republican’s shall not be infringed, Democrats shall be infringed. It’s a common mistake to assume the Republicans will respect others rights, they don’t. They want all the rights for themselves and laws to apply to everyone else.

It’s almost like the Republicans are using the Epstein files as a way to distract everyone from them taking cudgel to the foundation of democracy and the Democrats are playing right into it. What if the files were released today, would any representative or senator really see any consequences? Would any of them sit before a judge? Will it be something else for them to yell at each other instead of addressing the real elephant in the room, the governments abject failure at governing. Cause you know, we could just believe the survivors. I trust them over anything the government releases at this point.

I remember quite a few adults telling me that children should be seen, not heard when I was little. It was popular and sucked.
