And Republicans will have the balls to tell you they were against it from the start which pisses me off more. I mean who invented freedom fries?!

I too was once a ternager 😉

Aw fuck it’s really a scammed. Can’t be a meme at this point. Reported.

I’d vote for you for AI overlord

Knowing about “Temporary Internet Files” while my family was unaware made me feel like some sort of God of knowledge.

Oh and yeah I think I found porn there hooray!

Me too! I feel like this quote really shows off the care and humanity of the judge. While you see that throughout other quotes it shows that he isn’t too hung up on technicalities but is really showing his humanity. 11/10

Not OC, but an important tenet of Buddhism as you probably know is known as the “First Noble Truth,” which states that “life is suffering.” The second through fourth noble truths basically tell us to cease attachment and desire and to live a life based on “right living” to avoid the problems caused by attachment and suffering.

I think this is where OC has an issue and I agree because sometimes being a human sucks and you need some escapes from that suffering. I consider myself a Buddhist as well, and while many Buddhists will talk of the “middle way” between living a conventional life and living a life that tries to get rid of all attachments, I find myself mostly leaning toward the conventional ways of alleviating suffering like playing video games and smoking weed.

Tldr: living like a monk isn’t easy (or something I want) but the Buddhist worldview helps me make sense of the world so I use it.

Similar issue with me! In our case both were HSAs and my employer changed companies. The first was awesome (and super helpful considering it was pre tax) and the second was horrible.

Same with HSA cards. I quit paying into mine because they wanted proof I got work done after using at a dentist.

Yeah, because dentists usually sell fun things. Fuckin morons

To add on: questioning and reflecting on your behaviors is the first step.

I’m definitely guilty of some of this too and being more mindful of it has been… a process… that isn’t easy but helps me a lot.

Perhaps parking a site for traffic and then using the enshitified data to sell it?

It makes me sick how dumb it sounds.

So for me it’s similar to this except I really enjoy making missions for a DCS World group (combat flight sim) I play with. Not only that but I make PowerPoints and briefings. So fun to nerd out on when I have time to make it.

You’ve never encountered photojournalism?! I know they are cutting budgets for photographers but that seems sad to me.

EDIT: i present to you: the duality of humanity.

Does it matter? Download a few movies for an 8 hour flight. Not a big deal on any device.

Also I still think this product is horrendously overpriced but it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I experienced this in Taiwan to less of a degree so thanks for making me never want to go to Nepal because that gives me anxiety just imagining it 😆

This is where the “what if you could change your direction in the multiverse” aspect dies for me: my kids. I wouldn’t trade them for any better choices on my end.

That said I’d totally have brushed my teeth more when I was younger. That can’t have ripple effects can it? (Twilight zone music intensifies)

Regarding music: the concerts I missed out in haunt me!

You seem pretty similar to how I was in school. My way of revisiting that is understanding it now that I’m a teacher. I think it makes me way more effective. Not perfect but able to connect and engage students more as well as encourage them to not fear being challenged.

I skimmed over ally and got super excited for a second.
