Same with asking to stay late off the clock. So you want me to work without pay?

How about you pay me without work?

I called it the statistical approach. I messaged any woman I found visually attractive or that seemed interesting and fun through their description. Didn't limit myself to one app and in messages always made it clear I was looking for a relationship in real life and wasn't looking to chat for long. I probably messaged around 20 to 40 people a day. Got a positive message back around every 2 days or so. So one in 2 days roughly. Sometimes less, sometimes more. I had a several dates during the course of half a year or so ranging from fun to boring to catastrophic. Some casual hookups happened but it was rare. Sometimes dating lasted for a few weeks but didn't work out. Then eventually I met my now wife and mother of my kids.

Online dating is still bs but I found this approach to work for me.

For anyone who is interested in how it actually feels. Or at least felt for me. One day I noticed I haven't had a really bad day in a while. It kind of crept up on me as slow and gradual change. That's it.

Also fuck depression.

Going public is usually bad for product quality and consumer oriented business models.

That's the spirit!

If you create a new account probably. My account is many years old but with little activity. Maybe it doesn't get bit scanned anymore.

It might not look like it helped but who knows what would have happened if you and several others didn't go.

It's family so I guess I'm shit out of luck here. Everyone else I managed to get to communicate through signal or at least email. But those 3 are a bit special.

They can certainly try. But so far breaking those boundaries hasn't moved the boundaries as far as I know.

I don't even get the question. Yeah I use Facebook with a fake name and no data on the account accept a spam mail address to write occasional messages with 3 people. If I couldn't use ad block on facebook it'd be too annoying to use for me even for that.

I don't think any other site can do what YouTube is doing, because YouTube is almost impossible to replace and find an alternative to. If Facebook pulls this I'm out for good. The only reason I'm on there still is the 3 people who refuse to use anything else that I still care about.

I think the bigger problem is when you dangle a hoard in front of them and then make some bad excuse for why they can't get it. That's a bigger disappointment imo.

I meant it the other way around. No matter how benevolent a dictatorship is, eventually the dictator will change and you better hope there will be another benevolent one.

I personally don't think the problem is doing business. I think the problem is businesses not being democratic.

When we played Waterdeep Dragonheist I let my party keep 10% of the embezzlement money when they reported it to the city watch. That's 50 000 good pieces. Didn't derail the following campaign at all. DMs should stop being scared to give out some fat loot occasionally when appropriate.

Valve good.

But valve company. Company bad.

But valve company do good thing.

But selfish reason.

But good outcome.

But what if no GabeN.

We pray.

Oh for sure. And then there sometimes are lawsuits and settlements and things have to be paid back. But overall it's rarely a problem for the companies and a major hassle for everyone else involved.

At this point I can answer this question with a firm yes without knowing what the BS in question actually is.

Contrary to popular belief you cannot just make new rules as you like in terms of service. There are boundaries what is okay and what isn't. But you still should be careful with them of course.
