Maybe they want vacationers to leave their work phones at home lol

Schwarzenegger reportedly told customs officials that he was planning to auction the watch for a good cause

That’s the key here. He was importing it. When you’re bringing multiple phones and laptops, you’re bringing them back with you, that’s a whole different story.

The General actually first bombed at the box office, leading to Buster Keaton being much more restricted in what he could do. Only later did it become a classic, deservedly so.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: what 's the worst that could happen? Best case scenario is that you achieve what you set out to achieve. Worst case scenario is that it doesn’t work out and have to go back to nursing - albeit with new knowledge. So even in that situation, you could leverage your knowledge to improve your position.

I know someone who worked in law and switched to the transportation sector (started studying again) at just above 30. Not 46, but not fresh out of high school, either. I met someone yesterday who used to be a restaurant boss and reschooled to be become a train attendant. You would be far from the only person doing something like that - and even if you were - as I said, what’s the worst that could happen? Go for it.

Because that hunger for power and that greed is what got them there in the first place. Think of it like this: if, let’s say, 1 out of 100 people are power hungry and greedy, and 1 out of 100 people have the ability to do what it takes to get rich (which also gives you power), that means 1 out of 10 000 people will have used their ability to fulfill their power for hunger and their greed. At least temporarily, because power hunger and greed can never be permanently satiated, there’s always a will for more. But that greed and power hunger is what got them into that position of being rich in the first place.

Short answer: no, that’s abuse.

It’s entirely possible that he’s a narcissist, from what you describe - especially if other people are saying that as well. Mind you, that’s not the important part.

The important part is that this is obviously hurting you. And something tells me this isn’t the only thing that he does that messes you up. Do whatever you can do get out of that household. It ain’t gonna be easy, but it will be worth it. Trust me.

We already had acid rain but you fuckers had to make a stink about it.

“Nein, you no get nein lives”

Look, smell, then taste. If nothing seems off go ahead.

Honestly, this kind of misses the point in many cases. Yes, there are people like this, but they seem to be a minority. I’ve noticed there are plenty of people arguing for parents’ rights and saying they would be absolutely fine with their child being trans, and actually meaning it.

The point that’s being missed (and which is extremely difficult to communicate politically) is that, simply put, not all parents are good. Parents often look at themselves and think, “I would accept my child being trans, in fact, I would want to know so I can properly support them” - in which case, parental rights don’t sound half bad (but then, in all likelihood, this isn’t a case where the child would hide it from their parents, at least not for long). Most parents love their children over everything, unconditionally, and would die for them. Which makes it that much more difficult to realize or accept that there are parents out there who wouldn’t accept their children being trans, going all the way to downright disowning them. Parents can be downright abusive, unfortunately, I’ve seen it myself. And for anyone who is a loving parent, honestly, it’s hard to fathom how you can be that fucking awful with your own child. And that for many people unfathomable case is the precisely the case in which those parents’ “rights” can be downright dangerous.

OK that’s pretty cool. I wonder what would have to be done to get the original space cadet (with Multiball, among others) up and working like that. If I had the time, I’d look a little closer at the project, seems pretty interesting.

There was also a 32-bit version which still works fine on Windows 11.

That’s a sample size of 2.

Study after study has shown that breast milk, if possible (so e.g. not in the case of kid #1), is better than formula.

Jfc, the apps scammers usually use are on the fucking play store. Good fucking dammit this is stupid.

I don’t get it, control group for which experiment?

Jfc, I’m not saying “don’t keep trying”. I’m saying “look at what works best for your situation”, ffs. Read what I actually wrote.

UWP ≠ Electron. UWP is a new environment inside of Windows with new APIs, but AFAIK is still native or at least much closer to it than electron.

No, it’s far more than just consistency. There are many people with which a certain individual will not connect with, no matter the consistency.

Like, I get that it worked for you, and you want others to experience it as well. What you don’t appreciate is that this absolutist advice can be downright harmful. If the person hearing this advice is someone who is burnt out from trying to connect, following this advice will only burn them out more. In that case, it needs a closer look to why it’s burning them out, and what other factors may need to be looked at.

It’s one thing to say “this worked for me, and might work for you depending on your situation”, and another to say “this is always the solution, if it hasn’t worked for you yet you haven’t done it enough”. You won’t be able to properly drive a slot head screw with a Philips head screwdriver, no matter how much you try, and the answer there isn’t, “you haven’t tried enough”.

Great that it worked for you, but I’m sorry, just because it worked for you doesn’t mean it works for everyone.

Loneliness is not necessarily cured by seeing people. I’ve had times where I’ve seen close to 50 people I knew in a week and still felt lonely. In fact, there are times I’ve felt less lonely after having had a week alone. It isn’t about contact with people, period, it’s about a connection with people. And that often depends on the people you have around you. You had people that you got into contact with with whom you were able to build a connection with - great! Not everyone has that luxury. Some people have the luck that people around them generally aren’t interested in them. Or suck the energy out of them. Or even act outright nasty to them. Then there are those where dealing with other people will make things worse due to untreated trauma. Some people are working their asses off and literally do not have any considerable amount of time for that. Or in my case, where I was in the psych ward and not having time and space to myself actually sent me on a downward spiral (and due to their way of thinking everyone needs the same thing, it took quite a bit to get them to change gears).

Everyone’s situation is different. Otherwise I would be here telling you the only form of therapy that works is a day clinic, and that you shouldn’t take any medication. In my case, it was true, but it very definitely doesn’t apply to everyone.
