Ever notice how no schools have any emotional intelligence lessons whatsoever?
I don't remember it being a thing when I was a kid but both my kids have had classes that teach these things.
I also remember I was having issues with a kid in school and the school counselor sat us down and talked to us about anger and emotions, etc. I think we had a short daily session for a few weeks. This was in the 90s.
The American education is state funded daycare with forced learning about dry topics, so we don't even remember 90% of what we learned. People talk about wishing they learned about taxes and resumes etc in school. Those were Freshman and Sophomore level electives for us in a small town in the early 00s.
Hard but not impossible. I've read reddit posts in my dreams back when I used to doomscroll. I remember the text being hard to read but readable sometimes, especially headlines.
You can get an eSIM pretty cheap, or buy individual activation phones from truverifi and similar sites. But it's like $30/mo if you want a private number. Just to activate services it's a dollar or two depending on the services.
Just make sure you remove it as a security code phone # after you create the account.
There is one site I know of that sells Ukrainian phone numbers for $15/year. Texts come in via email. A phone number is a phone number, if it doesn't have to be US for some reason.
Reddit blocks access to all major VPN services (on desktop for sure) when they click a link from a search engine (maybe even navigating directly to it but I don't do that). This has been happening for about a month now. There's a specific page it shows that basically says "come back without a VPN."
I don't think it does it if you're logged in and have cookies enabled.
Caveat: there is a simple way to bypass it, I'll let you old.heads figure that one out.
I'd almost put money on it being AV. But I'd also think the installer wouldn't just crash on locked file. That was my first thought too though since I don't believe the qbt executable is signed.
Cabal.. Kabbalah.. It's the root word. "Jews secretly run the world" etc. That's usually how it's used today.
