My parents were mentally and physically abusive to me (CPS was called to our house multiple times and my father was on a registry with the state). I truly did not understand what was happening to me and my feelings until I was in my mid 20s. Deprogramming from abuse takes time.

I’m not saying you were abused or your situation is similar to mine, I’m just trying to illustrate that even when you logically look at things, your emotional feelings may not match up right away.

Best of luck to you.

Holy lord Jesus. This is fucking awesome.

Still waiting on a Synology NAS app ☹️

you know what, how about people start selling renewable resources as a solution to energy independence

Gen Z men that fall for the machismo of "hustling" just can't conceptualize the amount of financial difference between them and their idols. Get him something he can work towards making a hobby and hope that you can talk to him about why he thinks the way he does; listen and try to empathize and offer him an alternative solution to what he has forged for himself.

to be fair, the bandwidth of all the ports on the bottom laptop probably fit in 1 (maaaaybe 2? Just spitballing here) Thunderbolt 5 ports depending how fast the ethernet port is. BTW, why would you want a port that isn't reversible like USB C lol...

Those standalone units take what feels like a full minute to boot up though when you turn on the car. I looked into the Tesla ones, and they have tiny 9-10” screens that are meant to be mounted behind the steering wheel -as a touch screen-. At that point you’re better off using an iPad or a Galaxy tab.

This ^^

All the CEOs are assholes. The American car companies should’ve collapsed, but instead took a bailout and wasted it. The American consumer benefited basically nothing from the bailout.

No Android Auto+CarPlay is enough for me to never buy one lol. I’m never paying a subscription on a car lmao.

It’s utterly shocking that RS is still going… everything about the game has not aged well in any sense and yet there’s still 50K people who still play that trash at a time.

Be my language tutor 🙃 I’d love to Marseille in a heartbeat.

Really like the art options with Casely.

Basically everything you’ve said I agree with and have put to practice. I look at employment that way now, especially now that I no longer teach. I’m doing much better now, but only really because I’m married and his income solves my problems. It feels really bad that I have to depend on my spouse, but at least I paid for his graduate degree with QTR so I did help somewhat.

Graduated in 2014 from university of Arizona (bio/chem double major): my first job paid me 9$/hour to which I negotiated 10$/hour. Stayed with them 3 months before being fired for making mistakes (I did make small mistakes, nothing crazy though). Started as a cowboy giving horse rides and pony cart rides instantly at 10/hour + tips. A year later started teaching at the university for 10/hour. Worked there 7 years maxing out at 15.80$. The job market is utter garbage for graduates.

Tucson should be on that map too lol

A 2 hour 175km drive to Cagliari for everything “big-city”… good luck. Not to mention Sardinian Italian is different enough that learning cosmopolitan Italian isn’t enough to communicate with your neighbors and laborers (because you’ll need to hire people for repairs if you’re not already skilled in construction)

He’s South African, he can’t be President lol.

Fucking please deport me. I’m begging.

In that case, at worst she walks from the marriage with nothing more than she entered into it with. Mundane daily issues are going to hit all relationships, so I don’t think that’s something to worry about. Conservatively, he divorces her and she walks with half of the investment income he accrued during the marriage. At best, she walks with half. That doesn’t take into consideration that she’ll have most certainly gotten (or shared) a car, a house, and food paid for the duration.

This is the best comment ^
