At this point, I don’t know why Republicans don’t outright just say they want people who they see as less than them suffering and/or dead. That’s their only consistent political view.

I use /e/OS instead of Lineage now. It comes with MicroG and everything just works. I have a personal profile and a work profile. I keep them separate. No issues at all.

LinkedIn was doing this to me, too. But then I randomly was able to log on again. I wasn’t able to for months and thought it was ridiculous that they were asking for my ID.

You can try logging in on an IP address you previously logged in on. Then, delete your account ofc.

It depends on how you want to approach college. Career is one aspect of college. You should focus on your interests and strengths.

It’s tough. If you’re in a medical emergency type of situation, or are sick and need help, there are a lot of services that can help. You can go to urgent care or ask your doctor. If you don’t have insurance and live in the US, I’d probably encourage you to dial 211 for resources.

Making friends is not easy. But I think you should keep trying and just remember not to give up. I think the first step is just putting yourself around people, and not expecting anything as an outcome. What do you like to do for fun?

I have a towel rotation. I use a towel for a couple of showers then it will go on the floor for a couple of days. Then into the wash.

I have had bath mats before and they have all gotten pretty gross or end up getting thrown out after a while.

AmTrak is a hill I am willing to die for on.

I think he was practicing it in the mirror, too. There is no way that this is a coincidence or a mistake.

I’ve been using Posteo for email since 2020. Love it. Mullvad for VPN.

Damn, why?

This is a ticket to being seen as insufferable.

It is one thing if a kid’s parents just does not have the means, but the article points out that some baby boomers (maybe more commonly in a the west?) can have tendencies to be spiteful toward people deemed less. Maybe this happens more so in WASP culture.

I’m personally of the belief that if I ever chose to have kids, that I would see it to the end that they felt supported, regardless of their age. The kids themselves didn’t ask to be born.

A lot of cultures who have these values, I notice, have kids that thrive a lot more. I have some friends from east Asia, and they all were encouraged to be independent and pursue meaningful careers. Their parents support them intensely, and help with investments and other forms of support.

My biological father’s family is Jewish (nonreligious). My first cousin is very successful and I know has been set up to have a meaningful career, because my aunt let her live at home during graduate school, and paid for her graduate degree in speech pathology. She will inherit the house she grew up in.

I grew up in WASP culture on my biological mother’s side, and my mom has the attitude that she wants nothing to do with me, especially after I turned 18.

This is my parents. I found out from a relative that after my mom suffered an injury, that her husband was spending $2000 a month on fast food. Literally TWOOOOO THOUSAND dollars on fried chicken a month.

When the topic came up of them writing a will, they said that I’d be getting the family pictures. That’s it.

Looove Dues Ex. I just looked up The Neverhood, and it looks so interesting. Definitely going to need to watch a long play of that.

My Motorola G7 Power is a good phone. I have had it since 2021 and recently flashed LineageOS on it, and it works like a charm.

Most community colleges are very affordable, if not free with financial aid. At many state universities, many students who are low income can qualify for free tuition.
