We are friends in another life. Ty.

Loads (on mobile at least) without recaptcha for me

LineageOS with zero AI on my pixel works for me for now. So help me, I will stop using a phone before I take part in wherever Google thinks mobile phone are heading.

Fine. Forget about it.

I wonder this about a lot of my local restaurants. Maybe some of the platforms require it. I know that in my area, everything serviced by Door Dash arrives more than 40m after leaving the store, cold, unappetizing. That makes sense if they’re doing what the article says and waiting for more orders before delivering.

I understand how much this can frustrate and annoy.

My bp1so has been grinding her teeth for years when she hears someone who thinks changing your mind means you are (not have, but “are,” but that’s a different can of worms) bipolar.

NT’s rarely know anything at all about mental illness units it affects them. After my bpso was diagnosed, her brother went and majored in psychology to understand her better. He made me see that he just didn’t know, and a lot of people just don’t have any exposure that makes them care enough to find out what they don’t know. Instead, we (don’t have BPD, but my own mixed bag of illness) become punchlines. I just have to forgive and move on, but it doesn’t mean we don’t feel ways about it.

Looks very cool

Life is strange was a fun series for me and my SO. We’re glass we played the oldest ones first, too.

Do you like civilization or other “builder/planner” style games, like Cities Skylines, or Surviving Mars. Raji was kind of fun and laid back, too.

“They’re our largest customer, and we have to be partners,” she said. “It’s called customer service.”

Plex stopped being useful to me in 2019. At the time I had only about 300 movies and the same number of TV episodes. The database kept getting corrupt, causing long load times of video info pages, or perpetual spinning progress indicator. After fixing the database (and losing all watch metadata each time) three times in one year, I moved to a plain file share served from the NAS with Kodi running on my Nvidia Shield.

In seven years, Kodi’s local DB has never corrupted. I now have 900+ movies and 2500 TV episodes. I can handle any file type, any video CODEC, can play thousands of games from the internet game library. The DB can be easily backed up and imported into a new install if needed.

And the best part? I didn’t pay anyone to access any of the media I own, and no corpo gets access to my library or watch history.

Forget Plex.

Pedantic comment of the day

as residential networks are want to do

The word you’re thinking of is “wont” pronounced the same as “want,” which makes it pretty confusing for anyone who might not have read it before, but only heard it spoken.

😂

You do know that partners are optional, right? This sounds like a broken relationship to me, though maybe you left out the reasons you stay together.

My SO has bipolar 1 with psychotic features (she hears voices, sees fractals constantly, and has had multiple full-blown delusions departed from reality), ADHD, and to top it off, is an addict and recovering alcoholic.

A week into our relationship (in 2017), I was ready to walk as I was being gaslit to believe that I had cheated on her by having my female supervisor’s phone number in my phone. By the time I was at the door with my things, she realized the delusion wasn’t real, and she apologized.

Things like this pop up from time to time. Our pretty next door neighbor suddenly must be my secret girlfriend. The reason I’m buying new clothes is to impress girls. Etc., etc.

The thing is, each time these delusions (or any symptoms that manifest in an adversarial way to me) take hold, there is an understanding that I am not required to bring her back to reality. I have to take care of me first.

Fortunately, I’m a romantic sap, and she credits me with a sort of magic that I can knock her out of weeks-long delusions with a few words and my pure innocence. But she always remembers that day I was about to walk. She knows I am always willing to walk from that stuuf. Not as an open threat. As a reminder that my mental health is my number one priority.

If she was doing what your partner does to you, she would hate herself. We work because we care. We fuck up and hurt each other sometimes, but the core premise of this relationship is caring, patience and communication.

If the base of your relationship is deceit and control, you may not ever feel safe enough to take care of your partner’s needs.

Just consider that its possible that this relationship you’re in isn’t doing you any favors. You can always end relationships if they aren’t healthy.

Likely? How about mandatory?

In the States as well

Nobody here knows about it because our news is all owned by Sinclair. The talk is about how Platner made some reddit posts years ago.

ETA: Jay Mainers don’t give a shit about a datacenter. They aren’t all clamoring for anything like that. These folks hunt and fish and use their various ATVs.

The “palantíri” are crystal balls in “The Lord of the Rings” that let Middle-earth’s worst tyrants spy on the heroes of the story.

And that’s not even an accurate description of the stones. Not used simply for spying in the time of or heroes, but for corruption of what was once fair and good. Saruman, Denethor both utterly corrupted by Sauron, who now controls the stones.
