I haven’t been necessarily patriotic for a long time because why pledge allegiance to a single nation? The only reason I really care about July 4 is the fireworks. It’s more tradition than anything that I see them.
Anyways, both of his terms make me feel vindicated in not being patriotic in a country.
On a personal level, I don’t trust personal diagnoses for things like autism because, from my understanding, it could be something similar to ADHD or something else that might be confused for autism that’s causing any issues you might have.
I would personally at least let people you tell this to, if you go through with using a self-diagnosis, that it’s not confirmed so they don’t get confused or whatever else they may feel if you ever somehow get diagnosed in the future.
Can’t speak for everyone, but I’d be a little annoyed if someone kept confidently claiming it’s gotta be autism and then they get diagnosed and it turns out to be something else. Not annoyed enough to wanna do anything, but more annoyed about the confidence about a self-diagnosis.
This is the type of ad I absolutely don’t mind because they aren’t for absolutely soulless companies that will fuck your grandma and then sue you for emotional damages afterwards.
Regardless of whether you’re in a part of the country where the effects of you speaking up won’t have as much consequence, I don’t think it’s morally wrong to try and keep yourself, friends, family, and loved ones safe by not speaking out.
It’s either 1, 2, or 6 for me. All depends on what I’m wearing that day because I sure as hell ain’t changing at night if I don’t have to.
Not gonna say which way I do it because that was my old phone dot pin thing and I’m paranoid, but for that I did something different to both of them.
This idea that you could have Cloudflare help by telling off AI crawlers sounds nice, but how long until it becomes a premium feature that requires loads of money to operate because AI companies lobby them to make it inaccessible to the masses? Or something equally as bad happens?
I noticed this too when I tried going to the website on both ungoogled chromium and TOR. Every single click would lead to a porn site that was most likely filled with 300 pieces of malware per pixel. Was absolutely a terrible experience going to that website without a functional adblock like ublock origin.
I absolutely hate cloudflare because they always block me whenever I visit a site while connected to any VPN server on Proton, regardless of country. Even when I’m not connected to a VPN I sometimes have trouble with them deciding my connection is suspicious despite not having anything that should trigger it.
I’ve got a lot of use out of a 1000ml water bottle I got at college. Originally got it because the club I’m a part of was making food and I needed a container to take some with me. Since then I have used it a lot. Same with a discounted $1USD aluminum bottle I got because I forgot my water bottle at home and needed something so I wouldn’t be getting up every few seconds to get water while working on something in the library.
• Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. Hate it or love it, I still think it’s an amazing game.
• Chuzzle Deluxe. Recently got back into it after purchasing it a few months ago.
• Zuma Deluxe. Same thing applies.
• Sonic Unleashed. Went from playing on PS2 to 360 to now Steam Deck. The 360/PS3 version is absolutely superior, though.
Any others I can think of are all things I started playing closer to when I was a teen, so I’m not counting them.
Name any sports title ( NHL, NFL, NBA, MBA, etcetera )that isn’t a zany, over the top SuperTuxKart or Cartoon Network Racing style kart racer and I’m out.
Same goes for any PVP shooter games such as Call of Duty, TF2 Counter Strike, etcetera. Anymore I really find no interest in them because I don’t feel like breaking things over some 6 month old who can squad wipe me, all while getting their diaper changed and slinging slurs my way.
Regardless of who did it and their ideology, purposefully killing firefighters of all people is literal domestic terrorism.
Technically the one I’m currently in since it’s the first one I’ve ever lived.
The people upstairs, twice, went and installed a bidet ( we’re not really allowed to do our own plumbing for a reason and they proved why ) and it caused a giant ceiling bubble the second time in the bathroom. The apartment directly below us has been empty for a long time with nobody working on fixing the gutted place for a while, but IIRC when they were having some company working on it, they accidentally caused our dishwasher to start to flood. So for a long time we had the floor being worked on. The dishwasher thing might have been caused by some other water/plumbing issues somewhere else that caused it, I don’t remember.
My brother, being the idiot he is, decided at one point to take a couch from near the dumpster and now I have firsthand experience with bedbugs. We have dealt with a minor mice problem. It was probably a homeless person, but my dad had a bike stolen from the balcony. There were two times where some idiot tenants started fires and one of the sets of apartments is still being fixed from the damage.
Other than that, I can’t complain too much because I don’t really have that many problems here and it’s definitely 1000x better than where I could be right now. It’s definitely not as bad as I make it out to be, based on what I’ve said has happened.
As someone who loves hotter days, hard disagree.
No matter what, don’t go in the winter.
As someone who hates the cold with a passion, there’s nothing worse than waking up cold in the morning because you either didn’t have on enough to keep you warm during a cold winter night in a sleeping bag or had on too much and wake up cold from sweating throughout the night.
Winter campouts are the only camps I absolutely do not miss at all from my time at scouts. The cold mornings are enough for me to not suggest it, despite it not actually being that bad after you’ve warmed up.
Though, on a more serious note, one of the things I do remember being taught but never followed through with for various reasons is to put your clothes for the next day under your sleeping bag so that way the next day they should be warm or at least warmer so you aren’t putting on freezing cold clothes. Especially good for things like jeans because there’s nothing worse than putting on jeans with frigid cold metal buttons if your hands are already trembling a little from the cold winter morning in general.
