No shit I did this for my partners grandparent. All they needed was the browser to do shit like Facebook and paying bills. Slapped Linux Mint on their near dinosaur laptop with a Windows theme and they were none the wiser.

Oh what so now we’re cancelling pythons?

I recall the illustration: it was crayon or colored pencil faces of kids (like cartoon style or what your world find in a children’s book) that outlined the quote. One face was happy while the other’s looked… Mad or sad maybe.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” - Sir Mark Young…or Bernard Baruch…or Dr. Seuss…no one knows

This one really struck a chord with me when I was young. There used to be an illustration on the wall of the hallway which led toward the cafeteria in elementary school. It read similar, “Do the right thing, even if everyone around you isnt.”

It got me through a lot and saved my ass a few times.

I’ve only taken Vyvanse, so I can’t be much of a help comparing the two. I did enough research to try Vyvanse before trying others and I’ve settled on it since. Started at 20mg, currently at 30mg. 20 wasn’t enough after a couple of weeks past the “euphoric” stage of first taking a stimulant. I’ve been perfectly happy with 30mg. I know that it’s working, but not consciously if that makes sense. Like, I know after I take it, it will start doing the thing. My brain just doesn’t bring it back up to consciousness and I get what I need to get done. I could up it to 40mg but I don’t feel the need. It lasts for about 8 hours, perfect for a work day. Could I use a booster in the afternoon? Yeah, probably. But I’m managing.

I’ve always been someone who doesn’t take any medication unless I have to. For me, I went through behavioral therapy for a year before I decided I wanted to try a stimulant. I highly recommend trying that first before someone decides that a medication is necessary. I still use some of the things I learned regularly (journaling, tasks broken down into smaller manageable tasks, focus music, etc.)

They don’t support RCS. Plus, SMS is transmitted unencrypted. If you care about privacy of conversations then SMS is not it. You either: Give in (what I did) and use Google Messages with RCS or use something like Signal and convince everyone your regularly message to use it too.

Sleep mask for sure. And not a cheap ass flemsy satin-like ones you get with the dom/sub pack at your nearest adult store!

I recommend the Manta Sleep ones. Used the smaller one for 4 years before the Velcro finally gave in. Immediately bought the regular ones and kept using the eye cups from my old ones. It was a godsend working third shift.

Haven’t tried the heated or cooled cups so ymmv.

Lies! It uses electricity!

“Suicide”
Yeah fucking right. Just like Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself either.

I’ve heard MusicAssistant can now do radio stations and using (local) AI to generate a DJ that will announce the song and some other neat tricks. I haven’t used it in a while. Check out SmartHomeSolver (Reed) on YT, he had a video on it.

Mine?

It won’t. The Justice system is rigged. The big players will threaten the judge who rules on the case.

Look, I get it. But you shouldn’t teach dishonesty. I was going to say we need people who care about others and our world instead of being completely selfish but the reality is we’ve been taking so much from resources and harming the environment that it’s probably too late. I’d like to believe my kids will have a better outcome when they’re adults but I’ll just have to die hanging on to that belief.

Don’t forget, this happens in corporate jobs too. The only ones that can climb the ladder are the ones who do so via stepping on other employees and faking it till they make it.

A digital or physical copy of a receipt. But then how would they know the receipt is theirs? Well, they don’t. There are a subset of users who have bit for but copies. I think if they came into some legal trouble having that vs a rip would be better since the data is in tact the same way it was when purchased. Can I easily be called a backup.

I’m not your lawyer and I’m definitely not a lawyer anyway. Just playing Devis Advocate.

Admitting you’re wrong is a sign of understanding and willingness to learn. Outright continuing to think you’re right or push on in front of your peers is a special kind of idiot.

If so this is clever. In the wild event they get into some sort of trouble with copying, they have a bit-for-bit copy proving they own/owned the BluRay instead of a ripped copy.

This guy fucks

I think I pay ~$12-$13USD for 3TB of storage with BB2. It’s been great. Nightly incremental backups with TrueNAS. Haven’t had the need yet to pull down the data (which I should, you should test your backups with a restore on occasion), but I have peace of mind knowing it’s there and encrypted.
