I never thought of that last part but I like it lol. I have a lot of international people who do this most and it would be perfect. Though some of them seem to wake up while I’m on, so this might backfire on me one day.

I currently just ignore these messages. Some never take the hint and keep trying.

I have a multimeter and always wanted to know how someone goes about doing that kind of test. I’m still pretty new at knowing how to properly use a multimeter. I guess this is a good place for me to start testing. Thanks for the advice and direction.

It’s a very touchy thing and I can understand the reason why people want to feel this way. But we just don’t have enough to go on from the Bible on the topic to make a conclusion one way or the other.

Though, I should say that I’m not Orthodox or Catholic, but Protestant, so the idea of purgatory doesn’t exist in my belief either, in that there’s nothing in scripture that indicates it exists, and that also comes from me being sola scriptura which is another Protestant position. Though I’m open to being wrong about that. I have heard about Abraham’s Bosom, but haven’t heard any reasons why it still exists after Jesus’ resurrection. And with verses like Luke 23:43, it makes me feel like the limbo state doesn’t exist in death.

Sorry if I came off confrontational in my first reply.

I didn’t see one Bible verse to support this belief. Where does this idea come from?

I’ll have to check that out, thank you! I didn’t know this existed.

Definitely done that but no obvious signs of damage there. Also tried seeing if the port wiggles to indicate poor/weak solder points but none there either. It’s still on there as if it came stock. Thank you for the advice!

I didn’t even know this was on Steam, or PC for that matter

Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I’m on iPhone and it doesn’t look like that’s available for me. But I was quite happy with Grok’s approach today.

I did see some of the ones you’ve gotten and they are pretty awesome

No idea why, but I’ve asked a ton of LLMs recently to generate this and most don’t seem to have done it justice like Grok did for me today. This is what I was thinking of and it looks beautiful.

Physical retail stores.

Online shopping has its perks, but man I am really getting depressed at seeing so many stores close up and not return. Entire shopping centers become ghost towns and leave one or two businesses left behind.

Christmas shopping is depressing too. I can’t believe I miss the mall crowds. I hate crowds, but I miss it. I miss everyone being so happy and dressed up in holiday attire and the mall being dressed up too.

Now it’s just a bunch of knock off stores there. Disney store is gone, Sears is gone, gamestop is no longer there, even the food court sucks.

What’s going to be worse is when more leave and we are truly dependent on online shopping. The cheap prices are going to go up with these retailers knowing you have no choice but to go with them.

Clothes shopping online is horrible. Car shopping online isn’t ideal. Even with guaranteed refunds and trials…it’s just not the same. I miss getting an item and staring at it all the way back home. You get a similar feeling waiting on a package and it feels nice in a similar way, but I want to have both.

Nobody really seems to be recognizing this trend.

If going back to your mom is your only option, you need to do it. You can’t live with someone like this. Everyone has secrets, but finding out these kind of secrets is something else and not something you want any part of. Especially with corrupt police, if they, for whatever reason, decide to raid the house and find it with you living there, your life is now in trouble as well as his. You said that was your SD card he’s using? How do you prove it wasn’t you who put it on there? Do you even want to fight this legally?

And besides that, it sounds like a dying relationship. The signs are all there and I think you realize this as you wrote this. The fact that you’re not able to feel like yourself is something that is a sign of a bad relationship, like how you feel you can only be a certain way when he’s not in the home.

Have you tried searching for an online remote job so you won’t have to travel as much? There’s a lot of that for the world of cybersecurity and tech in general, though I know it can be hard to get your foot in the door nowadays.

But you need to do something. Staying there and in this relationship is not good for you. Even before finding the card, it doesn’t sound like this has been your ideal relationship. You can and should do better for yourself, even if that means ending this and being single for a little while.

Me when the guy said he and his partner could install a washer and dryer hook up in my house and he wouldn’t patch the wall and this would cost me $900 for the job. Lol I don’t think so dude but I didn’t want to be rude

In addition to adblocking, some people use it for family censoring like blocking porn and gore on the domain level. It’s a more effective means as it would mean that your kid can’t go to ph on the family computer as well as their iPad.

You can block individual domains if you wish but there are also a lot of lists out there that are generated and maintained by the community to include new sites as they arise.

I like it for my iPhone for playing free games like solitaire and the like. A lot of these have intrusive ads but the PiHole effectively blocks the ads and I don’t have to have any third party apps running on my phone.

Additionally, I set up a VPN on my Raspberry Pi so I can take this adblocking on the go too.

You can also set up the PiHole to keep a log history which some people may want or you can use it to never keep the history for privacy reasons. I suppose this is another use case in ensuring your DNS server at home doesn’t keep a history of websites you visit from any device on the network.

Man in the High Castle was an interesting concept and interesting for the first seasons until it started getting into multiverse stuff. I tuned out once the Nazis had plans to take over a whole other parallel universe.

I was fascinated with the way a world would look like had they won, especially having never really thought about Japan’s role and sharing the United States as a territory. I like those sort of “what if” scenarios.

But they fumbled it once it got to that point. No idea if the book followed in that or not. I was just looking for the parallel “what if” world and to see the story take place there, kind of like experiencing the Wolfenstein games.

I’ve gotten it 3 times from 2 different accounts. The first account sent it to me twice on two separate days. Ironically from an account that I had replied to months before it spammed me.

Then it sent me it again a few weeks later from a different account, same picture but different name.

I’ve blocked both accounts so far, so they may have sent more and I just didn’t see the other attempts.

That’s the thing that I do! My name is like Jason. Spelled very commonly and like how most people have it. But then people go and do Jasin.

I have some new things to fantasize about when I encounter this lol

I like it the way it is. I don’t view or think about voting like I did before coming here. I just post as I please without worry or concern there.

Also noticed that it affects others and I don’t have an automatic feel of a comment based on how it’s been voted upon and I just view comments as is without any automatic assumptions.

I didn’t either until a second ago lol

It’s a doorstop he’s holding.
