I always wonder how much of the ad hell some websites have is necessary to maintain the website and pay employees a (hopefully) livable wage vs pure greed.
One of the worst things, in my opinion, that came from the old Internet was just how shady and sometimes dangerous ads are.
It's called working in IT. Gotta make sure those servers are up.
I don't know what that is, but it sounds like something to check out. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, I guess my comment did come off like that. Oh well, live and learn.
Oh I get that, I'd do the same in his position. I just literally meant I found it amusing.
It's always a little amusing when grandiose anti-Google claims are made on a platform owned by Google.
Never wanted them, pretty sure I'd have a mental breakdown if I tried to raise one
I will say this as often as I can, getting the ol snip snip was the best decision I've ever made.
Wasn't he also a paranoid schizophrenic? Depending on how it manifests, that shit can change your entire personality.
I haven't gotten to the depths yet, but some responses seem earnest. Different degrees of proof needed when confirmation bias is in play.
What has helped me with this was seeking out local bands and seeing them live. Check out local bars with live music nights or open mics, wander around the biggest city in your area and look for interesting flyers and stickers, or [other useful advice]. As a bonus, when you find bands you like they often play shows with bands that are of a genre you'd never seek out yourself.
I felt that was true for a long time. There are a lot of sub-genres out there that don't promote that kind of thing. Honestly, and this is probably me wearing a conspiracy theorist hat, a lot of hip-hop that essentially glorified a lot of horrible traits was just what a lot of old, rich white dudes figured would make them money.

Great. now the search engine will tell me "I am not designed to provide that information" when I don't use the specific, constantly changing magic words it wants.
This also reminds me that I'm still annoyed my phone options are more or less limited Android and iPhone.
I'm not even at the point of processing if this is satire or not. Is the context that killing a process is offensive? I mean I get 'sacrifice child', but 'kill process'?
I'm not aware of anything. Why are you looking, maybe there is something similar out there.
Matrix is great, if only I could convince my friends to use it.
I grew up going to various Christian schools as a kid. While it wasn't a common viewpoint, I did hear of it from time to time.
The reason behind it, to my knowledge, was that Catholic practices would often be significantly different from other denominations' practices. The biggest thing I can think of is the veneration of and praying to saints.
The ADHD is hitting, so I fully admit I just skimmed your posts. If I'm missing something, please let me know.
I will reach out to some of my contacts to see if I can find someone close by. I'm in Minneapolis myself (Nicollet Island/Northeast, close to Otter's Saloon), but I've got < 600 sqft and a mess that can only be explained as a fun combo of depression and ADHD. It isn't ideal, but worst case scenario I can possibly put you up for a couple of nights (no promises, but I'll try).
Message me on here or on Discord (omgitburns) and I'll see how I can help.
I'm a software dev. I went to a recruiter and shouted "ME WANT JORB!!!1" and they gave me one.
However, I was only able to get my foot in the door because of friends I made in school.
I like how the link makes it look like scientist cats are being talked about.
As I'm sure most of you know, searching for tips on how to manage symptoms, what can effect medications, or just general information about ADHD there is a lot of advice for parents or information written about ADHD children. I'm tired of looking at information that sounds like ADHD is a thing you age out of, hell I thought we got past that point a long time ago. You fine folks have any sources for ADHD info that don't assume you're the parent of a bratty 6 year old?
I've been reading through the rulebook and this game seems like it would mesh well with having a largeish base of players doing a number of one-shot or low session count mini-campains that are contained within a large community. Does anyone know of any communities for this that already exist? If not would anyone have an interest in starting one?
