It really does irk me that they pretend their service makes the internet safer for their users.

They have a good product in their VPN+Meshnet, but it wouldn’t have nearly the broad appeal it does if they were honest about it.

Oh, it’s in Traverse City? Yeah I’d probably go insane if I lived up there, too. Shit’s wildly expensive and everyone’s conservative AF. Beautiful city though.

I can understand that you don’t have those in Canada, but there should be other options right? Maybe contact support?

I think you’re on the verge of understanding the problem. You’re so close. Just trust that the guy you’re replying to isn’t an idiot and you’ll finally understand.

Sure in the Netherlands you have options. But other places aren’t the Netherlands. Different countries have different options, but Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal work pretty much everywhere.

Edit: Completely unrelated, I’m munching on some licorice Mentos I found in the Dutch section of my local grocery store here in West Michigan, and I just want to thank the entire population of the Netherlands for the wonderful things y’all have done with licorice. No one likes it here, so no one bothered. But the variety your country comes up with for this stuff, it’s fantastic.

I use em dashes…I think it’s sad that a proper grammatical construct is so thoroughly ignored by most people that now it’s a sign of inhumanity.

It can happen to anyone, according to research. I can’t fathom the guilt someone must feel over such a horrific accident.

Adolphin, eldest son of Dolphinar, would never sport a Hitler mustache. It’s not fashionable.

Part of the deal included 50 new episodes.

The difference between a billion dollars and a million dollars is about a billion dollars.

Everyone should see this if they haven’t already.

Counter-question, how can I make it clear I DO NOT want to be cold-approached by ANYONE while at the beach? Headphones, sunglasses, and my face in a book has not worked.

Have you considered not being attractive? Always worked well for me.

I can’t tell you how many people have found their spouse by singing in a local chorus (including me). If you can carry a tune and have a basic level of sight reading, find a volunteer choir. They always need more dudes and are always full of brilliant, talented women, many of them single.

🤣 No such thing as lazy, that’s just a word we use to shame people into doing stuff they don’t feel like doing.

I tell people this and say, “Follow the M.”

Gotcha. I agree.

I think it was real. His level of involvement is debatable, but his writings seem to indicate he at least knew about it.

They want to integrate Steam with the console, from the rumors I saw. They’ve already integrated Steam into the Xbox app on PC, as I understand it.

More flexibility is a good thing. Console Game Pass and Steam on the same system? Yes please.

Intermittent fasting.

Like any form of weight-loss the real mechanism is a calorie deficit, but intermittent fasting makes that really easy for some people. I lost like 30lbs in six months. Takes a bit to kick in but then goes pretty quickly.

Unfortunately, losing weight is a long journey. People who are very overweight have more fat cells than others (because those cells divide when they get big enough) and those fat cells WANT to hold onto fat. And they’ll release hormones to achieve that goal. So your body will desperately be calling for you to overeat.

This is part of why weight-loss tends to be a spiky line for people. I gained back all of the IF weight I lost, and then some. Still below my highest recorded weight by a good 20lbs, but I’m just now getting back on the IF horse, hoping to make better progress this time.

Since when is Xbox gone? Microsoft would be silly to kill off their console, they’d lose a pretty significant chunk of Game Pass subscribers. The rumors point to a hybrid PC/console, but it’s still an Xbox.

Of course, Microsoft making foolish decisions would be nothing new.

I’m not sure where midband 5G falls, but it’s significantly faster than LTE with much more range than the millimeter wave 5G.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call Bonhoeffer stupid before. Personally I wish more pastors got involved in plots to assassinate genocidal fascists.

I’d recommend against it. The girls in the picture were 15 and 16 when the movie came out.
