Thank you!

I have zero context this graph is confusing af but also says so much

I just don’t know how to translate it lul

Yeah I don’t think it is actually going to be particularly intrusive visually. It is based on data on games you play and stuff so one could argue that is intrusive. It’s 6 months from now as they start getting more bold and greedy. The ads will get worse, they always do.

It’s like the nerdy forgotten stepchild of the hospitals, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries. They make up numbers amongst themselves for the little guy to pay.

Damn right it is 🤘

Thank you for your information about your specialty and I found it very interesting. but also thank you for the info about Michael crichton! Your little offhand comment was the first I ever heard and so I searched, had no idea he was vocally against the science supporting global warming. Wild from an author that does scifi based on existing technology/theories and making it a horror thriller with mankind facing the consequences of their hubris.

AKA LIKE FUCKING CLIMATE CHANGE.

I’m the weirdo who always reads the privacy policy at the bare minimum. I’ve opted out of a lot of services/apps/games/sites because of their privacy policy over the years.

Look it is bullshit they can get away with this crap but right now we only have the existing outdated legislation to work with. The absolute explosion of how technology and social media impacts the world has changed RAPIDLY in the last 15 years. It was once quaint that Obama did reddit AMA or posted a tweet.

So my point is yes be mad but ultimately it is out responsibility to be proactive with the tools that we have, and that’s privacy policies and ToS. Like you’re skipping through the villain’s monologe laying out every step of their evil plan then shocked at the consequences.

This is true.

What I also gathered from the article (for further context) is that these are the same lawyers who tried to the other 2 cases of piracy on reddit. This time the argument is that it is not a violation of the first amendment right because they want the data to go after the ISP

In my experience if you’re only finding one or two apartments in your price range out of a ton…

1. You can’t afford to live there. Everything costs more. Sales tax, gas, groceries, water, all entertainment, etc

2. Those places you can afford probably don’t exist or are cheap for a very good reason (bad area/property)

I suggest looking around closer to you or where you have a saftey net or support, then look in those areas. Research the city look for lgbtq events or clubs etc. I hope you find your little haven !

Thank you for explaining why so beautifully. I tried watching the show and while it was very well done, for whatever reason I just wasn’t getting into it. But all people ever say is how great it is and I was bummed I was missing out. I have seen enough of the show to see the threads leading to what you described. I understand now why it is so highly praised.

Wow looking into this and it sounds like they did that show dirty. Completely gone from the app and s2 only released in certain countries on prime? Did it hit a little too close to home on the strike??

Check out bunheads. Same creator and I remember it feeling a LOT like that show. Like she must have done it so soon after Gilmore girls. It’s only a season but it was cute. It might still be on hulu.

And yes seconding marvelous Ms Maisel.

Haha figured you would. I hope you don’t need this tip for the future!

I was looking for this post! Rent free in my mind for over a decade now.

Highly recommend. Weeb falls in love with a Japanese classmate and asks 4chan for advice. It is a whole saga of cringe.

Lots of experience here. For future reference or anyone reading.

Milkshakes. Eat them with a spoon if you aren’t allowed to use a straw. If you find you’re sensitive you could always ask for less numbing. They might have gone above the minimum to be safe and ensure you’re comfortable.

It would wear off pretty quick for me though my appointment might be an hour and would be gone after 3 hours. And I was able to function mostly normally even while numb. I would smile a lot in the mirror too cuz the crooked smile was amusing. Eventually even that wasn’t crooked anymore after so many appointments.

Yeah those are the type of things that build that trust. It’s just most of us don’t have a single moment I guess.

I build trust also by observing how someone treatsothers, especially how they behave and treat someone when they have a conflict. And is there genuine remorse for mistakes that caused any harm. (Obviously not the kind of mistakes that would ruin trust but like, normal accidental hurting others type mistakes we all make unintentionally now and then)

What types of pranks have you played on eachother? I think that would be helpful for gauging her sense of humor!

Harmless stuff that won’t bring bad blood would be things like putting plain yogurt into a sour cream container and have her see you eat from it straight.

Oh if she has light hair definitely don’t do any of thr shower food dye stuff cuz it might temporarily change the color and she will have to tell every coworker and person that asks what you did.

This is what true modern middle class looks like 🥲

I’m not sure what compact wired earphones that aren’t earbuds could be but um… they have these things, search for earbud ear hook. Maybe they could be a solution for you?

I love my paperwhite. Frankly I don’t think I could enjoy reading on a typical screen, and I read other shit on my phone a LOT. So reading for fun I need that difference I guess.

Does anyone recommend any e-ink e-readers that have compatibility with apps? Mine is so old I can only get stuff directly from Amazon store but can’t use the library apps like libby.
