I’m admiring the ASCII art - great usage of different characters to smoothe out the outline of the text

Probably, but could just as well be anxious attachment since we don’t have the whole story. I’m on the anxious side and this happens a lot if the other doesn’t show enough interest or is closed off in conversation.

Absolutely, have that conversation at least. Just tell them how uncomfortable you feel and if you can find a compromise. My wife and I got married in a courthouse for less than $50 and we still think it’s the best decision we ever made. Maybe do a road trip tour where you see small groups of people/family and celebrate afterwards.

Therapist: you need to focus less on the things that are outside of your control, and come to accept the fact that there are some things you just can’t change.

Me: crying you mean some things just be what they be?

I love this because I’ve been using Firefox exclusively but miss the style of Opera. Now I have zero reason to go back.

If Palestine continues with their eye for an eye approach, they are going to lose their fight for freedom. They need strong allies, like every other country fighting for their freedom. Ukraine is the best example I have, but I know it’s not the same. I hope Palestine gets their freedom my friend, it doesn’t look good so far. This is the last comment I’m gonna make.

You didn’t read my post. I’m on nobody’s side. What Isreal has done is 100% not okay, and at scale much worse than what Hamas has collectively done in response.

I see your point but there’s gotta be a better example. The natives didn’t have any allies that could stand up to the colonizers or even a way to ask for outside help. Today, we have the internet.

I’m just spitballing here in my privileged American home, but if Hamas was vocal about not stooping to Israel’s civilian-killing level, and did major damage to a political building without harming anyone, that could have given Palestinians more sympathy on the world stage. Even if it’s the thing that “must be done for survival”, it’s really hard to be on the side of innocent killing. I personally can’t be on either side of this conflict, and many feel the same.

That’s a very difficult question to answer but they’re doing it your way and now there’s just more massacre on both sides with seemingly no end in sight. Is it really freedom if everyone is dead?

Fighting war crimes with war crimes doesn’t make it okay

I’ve had different traumas (career and relationship related), I don’t think they’re as bad as yours but I completely understand what you’re going through. I’ve been on a few medications and therapies but the emptiness and lack of motivation is always there. After a certain amount of trauma I just don’t see how you move forward without the universe making serious amends, like maybe a streak of really good luck. I actually just sit around waiting for a UBI program to exist and jumpstart my life, because my brain doesn’t work well enough to go back to my old routine dealing with the same terrible people.

I’m happy for those people who will benefit. But try being a kid of parents who have the mindset of “FU I got mine”. I’m not on favorable terms with my parents and won’t see a penny until they’ve passed, if they decide to give me anything at all.

It’s an odd requirement that should’ve been workshopped a little more.

Okay so what I really mean by UBI is the point that humans have successfully created an autonomous supply chain that keeps everyone fed and sheltered. AI has taken the majority of necessary jobs that humans do not wanna do, creating a surplus of resources that (in a utopia) even if 1% is distributed among the population, could be more than enough to keep fediverse software running on a server farm powered by green energy.

I don’t mean some fox news version of UBI that they think just means higher taxes and everyone becoming fat and lazy.

Yeah, this is no different from how every other social media platform operates. Unfortunately it’s just the way these websites make money to stay “free for consumers”.

The only (distant) solution I can see will be the fediverse, paid for by UBI and decreasing server costs (i.e. green energy and tech breakthroughs)

There could be many reasons they don’t prompt you to change: they meant to send an email but your notification preferences disallowed it, they sent an email and you missed it, they wanted to keep it quiet, they forgot to add the message and ux flow to change password, or they’re incompetent and didn’t know they needed to do that.

The Epic thing I’ve never seen before but that’s definitely incompetence and/or a very weird bug that just slipped past them.

If there were a data breach where a hacker could figure out the encryption algorithm, you don’t want users to reuse an older password because those older passwords could’ve already been cracked.

By the way, this is why you should also never use the same password for every site. If one of your passwords is leaked and linked to a similar username or email, everything is vulnerable. I’ve had this happen before (the Target breach). After that I started using SSO exclusively, with a random 16 char password manager if SSO isn’t an option (crossing my fingers that bitwarden doesn’t get hacked like LastPass)

Plus the obvious hiding behind a VPN, which you would be out of your mind not to use if you were doing something this terrible. Or can VPNs snitch in these situations? Anyone know?

Boomers got more conservative as they grew older because they’ve been eating shovels of propaganda since reagan and never learned how to fact check like younger generations
