I sure remember the HOURS it took me to download that sucker on my 14.4kb modem. I was blessed by the gods with a parent in the computer industry even then so we had a 2nd phone line that I could monopolize for a day of agonizingly watching and praying not to lose connection again.
My power company found a new and infuriating way to fuck with me. They send every e-bill with a required payment of $0 and then the regular balance but my bank auto-pay only reads it as $0 due today and ignores it.
So the bank says it's the power company's fault, the power company claims to have no control over it. Oh and they don't send paper bills any more (although they send me a paper report every month shaming me for stressing the grid by charging my electric car)
So you have to remember to go online and look up the bill and pay it on their awful $5 transaction bill pay instead.
I was reminded after watching Never After that the Brothers Grimm claimed to be working down old folk tales but they are also the only known version of many of the tales, so it can be assumed they made up at least a few of them.
I played 6 at launch and it was a huge downgrade from 5 but now it's been updated so much it's now unrecognizable from what was released as 6.
Every patch, update, and DLC will change it incrementally back into a similar experience as the others. They like to try to get real wild with the initial release but it tends to get back to the same sort of things eventually.
Doesn't putting the $$ anywhere that's not retrievable miss the point of having an emergency fund? It's supposed to be liquid assets you can spend if you had to. Putting it anywhere with good returns would keep it from being available at 11:45pm on a Saturday night when the ER is demanding payment now or they won't treat you.
Not 7.5 times higher though. No other factor is as big a predictor as gendered violence. Men commit violence against women and other men much, much more often than women do.
And if you are a man, you should be just as mad because the chances that you are a victim of a violent act by another man is much higher too.
Not all men are violent, but men and women are both victims of the anger of this small-subset of men that we have been unable to identify what else they have in common beyond gender.
Its the exact same thing I tell every libertarian asshole. You are all chained dogs who think you are lone wolves, can't survive without whatever master you serve and bark at the rest of us to "do better".
You told OP you think less of them for the post but call me disrespectful. Get fucked.
So, you a cat? You do nothing for anyone else and pretend you don't use any resources?
There are plenty of people who took care of your dirty ass, whoever you are. If you are still breathing, someone gave a shit enough about you at some point to stick a bottle in your mouth to keep you from starving.
Hence, no one is an island and when you pretend otherwise, you prove what a kept, babied, ignorant person you are.
This is the exact ableist attitude the OP is talking about. Getting armed and defending yourself isn't a useful option when they don't need to storm your house to kill you and even if they did, you might not be able to physically use the gun.
Self-defense is an ablest concept, get out there and defend one another!
He was educated in Catholic schools and was going to be a Priest. Thomas has done nothing but uphold the white Christian man's power and privilege his entire life.
Had to sit through someone's gushing fanboy talk about this last year and I nearly threw up. He's a gross misogynist and fucking smug about it too.
They been a disaster for the elder and homeless community. Many of them have no cell phone and only login once a week and 2fa makes it pretty much impossible for them.
I played Dauntless hardcore in the beta. My team and I really enjoyed it and it was going to great but it went to Epic we never gave it another thought. A real pity because the combat was fun. IDK how it evolved but the chainblade started out really enjoyable.
As another librarian, it's fucking terrifying work these days. We are beloved by the people but a giant target for this administration. I loved this work for decades but I'm about to flee for industry because I'm exhausted. We're also not super portable, library jobs are hard to come by and those outside the US are hot right now.
So just like therapists, I would have to find, select and hire a matchmaker FIRST and then have them send me on potential dates?
That's just adding more steps to a bad system.
People like dating apps for the convenience and lack of commitment and this plan would be worse on both fronts. People can't even be honest when the get a bad haircut, trying to get them to give honest date feedback to the matchmaker would be a nightmare.
I've had people jealous of me. People who tried to steal my spouse or thought they would be so happy living my life.
It didn't make me one bit happier. Sometimes it made me suffer, that they didn't see that things were really difficult for me in ways that were invisible.
That feeling that I thought was wanting a perfect life was really needing anxiety meds I am way happier with well-adjusted meds.
