Same. Then covid got me. Was sick for a week but had the worst shortness of breath that finally got better after a year of inhalers.

On the other hand, my friends felt like it was just a bad cold. ¯(ツ)/¯

Not a huge crust fan either so I eat until I have about an inch of pizza then I double it over like a sandwich. I also sometimes save the crusts until they get stale and eat them as dipping sticks with a sauce.

I go least to best like OP, but like you said about meat - it died to be put on my plate. Always make sure that gets eaten or taken home for another day. Least to best is a good way to get in veggies if they don't keep as well or you like them less.

Fast food's too expensive even without delivery expenses these days. Makes me sad.

I can't speak for everyone, but asking myself "why" has helped me introspect. If I have a bad reaction to something or don't when I should, I ask myself why. After a couple rounds of "why" it usually comes down to childhood experiences or social expectations. At least for me. Eventually it gets easier and being able to id the source helps figure out the positive steps to correct it.

Gazpacho. Throw whatever veggies you have in a blender, season and bam - soup. Add a filler if it doesn't keep you full. Beans, lentils, potatoes, rice are all good options.

Amazing article on neural implants for blindness and some of the real world challenges.

I try to make a daily post in !meow_irl@sopuli.xyz

It's kind of the mulled wine of coffee. Warm, wintery flavors. To be honest I used to love it but in America it's everywhere come fall so I'm pretty burnt out.

Some of it's probably a lack of understanding, and sometimes it's a "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" situation.

This is exactly how I view it. Faith in humanity skyrocketed when I decided to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks, appreciate it. I definitely misunderstood 'legitimate interest' cookies as 'strictly necessary'. It looks like the laws are vague and still in development. I'm not in the EU but it's been fun diving into this discussion and the laws!

Nice, this is also what I found. More from the GDPR website but still vague.

There are 2 more questions it sounds like OP is asking -

• Why are Legitimate cookies allowed to be defaulted on?
• Why are they allowed to be hidden in a different menu?

I didn't see any answers to these questions in my quick read-through. Nothing about default settings on the GDPR website and the menu thing sounds like obfuscation. Now whether it's to make the cookie menu more user friendly or gather more data for the company... or both? Don't know. The GDPR website does mention that

The rules regulating cookies are still being set, and cookies themselves are continually evolving, which means maintaining a current cookie policy will be a continuous job.

So maybe the legal side for this is still in the works.

It would help to clarify in the post that you're interested in the legal aspects for the EU under the GDPR.

To answer your question though, on the GDPR website I thought these snippets were the most helpful:

To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must:

• Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.

....

Strictly necessary cookies — These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.

....

The rules regulating cookies are still being set, and cookies themselves are continually evolving, which means maintaining a current cookie policy will be a continuous job. However, properly informing your users about the cookies your site is using and, when necessary, receiving their consent will keep your users happy and keep you GDPR-compliant.

Edit: Sorry, forgot the ELI5. As long as the website informs users why a cookie is necessary for the website to function correctly, it can be classified as 'strictly necessary' and not require consent. As far as what's "necessary"... that's still being defined and will probably be reviewed on a case by case basis.

I want to thank you for the new knowledge but I also kind of wish I didn't know this.

Oh no. Good to have company :')

I agree, but after playing through the trilogy and wrapping up the third with 100+ hrs, it hit hard. I wish I could have experienced a good ending first. Who knows though? Maybe I'll look back and be glad for it. It was a masterpiece of story telling and like you said, probably the most realistic ending.

I don't have a ton of free time so I think I'm just going to have to be satisfied watching the endings on YouTube.

I was trying to play supportive but also a voice of reason. Ah well. Live and learn I guess.

What's more is I don't have a save far enough back to correct it.

Nothing to say, just wanted to cry a little on the internet over my poor choices.

Used to be beige. Now it's gray... gray everywhere.
