Aren’t phones literally designed to run and be on all the time nowadays? Huh?
Like, yeah, you’re using old hardware to run stuff and you presumably stopped using that phone for some reason, so it makes sense not to run vital services off your old phone, but for simple stuff like this it seems neat.
It really doesn’t make any claims that you need money to do this. You could do this with a local park or hike.
Money helps broaden your options but isn’t required to chat with people.
That’s not a threat, that’s a mean suggestion.
Is saying “not everyone is shitty” toxic positivity? I’m not denying the presence of malicious humans, but the first step to becoming a bad person is believing that everyone else is too.
What’s your end goal here - what are you trying to communicate? Just that the world is bad and people should agree with that fact and do nothing?
I don’t really mean to say that you can’t express your feelings on the Internet or that they aren’t valid, but I do just want to kinda poke people who seem to be in this “people are awful” mindset and point out that our psychology and our information ecosystem are all heavily biased towards the negative, but it’s not the complete picture.
Hey look at this guy! He’s met every human that’s ever existed, ignored all the times that humans have been good and caring, and has decided that we’re completely cooked!
But for real, I get that misanthropes are “in” right now, but if you look for the helpers, you will generally find them. Most people in the world are not out to cause pain - actively malicious people are rare. We just focus a shit ton of our attention on them.
The male loneliness is that feeling of having the burden of all your relationships in your shoulders, knowing that if you don’t go after people people won’t ever go after you. And that can be devastating with time.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it put so succinctly. Maybe this isn’t everything, but it is the root of the feeling for me. I’m constantly reaching out and checking in and it’s more rare for the reverse to happen (though it’s really important to notice when it does, which is something I’m trying to do more now).
Muppet Marvel could be so good.
If you have a lot of DRM free games and want to have your own backup copies and be able to easily share them with your household, this does that. It isn’t for hosting games you buy through Steam or other DRM-protected platforms. It’s for giving you an interface to easily search and download your own library of games that you could get from a bunch of different sources, so you don’t have to go look up your credentials that you used to buy the game to re download it.
No, the directors intent is more important, and obviously you need a full Dolby speaker system to properly enjoy. /s
I can’t seem to visit that site without it completely redirecting my browser to a full screen ad saying I had been “wiretapped”, so I googled it, and I cannot find any confirmation of that happening. Every article says Victoria Beckham is still not fully confirmed and nothing substantial has been announced.
Yeah and honestly, it’s the most frustrating part of ADHD
Are there drugs for executive function? Asking for a friend.
if I fuck it up, it doesn’t spill over into other tasks
Somebody has never accidentally spilled the entire litter box onto the floor.
The CD Key written on the CD was a very famous infinite license key that pretty much everyone who had a pirated copy of windows was using. You also used to need to reformat more often for a clean wipe of your computer, so many people got used to entering this specific key.
Push back when you see it. Remind them that we have a chance to reset, and they don’t have to act the same way here that they did on reddit.
Depression is definitely a factor for many people. But the death of 3rd spaces is fairly well documented. The problem is that many people don’t know how to make friends. Friends very rarely happen instantly, they usually are a result of repeated and consistent interactions. Adults rarely seek out situations that would give them those types of interactions outside of work and school.
Eh, still about 50-50 with these people. I’ve sent an email with 4 nicely formatted and numbered questions and had them respond only to question 3. Like… You read some of it, decided to answer one, and then give up with no other acknowledgement? Shit is wild.
Calls and easily sharing my screen are 90% of my use cases for Discord. The entire appeal of it initially was that it was a more functional Ventrilo with both text and voice channels. Hopefully something FOSS gets further developed by the time Discord completely shits the bed.
Long cat! He looks just like mine.
You sound like a great parent, and this should ideally be how every parent teaches their kids. Trust, open discussion, and a welcoming environment for questions.
