Ohhhh, right, equating gay and effeminate. That would explain it being 20 years ago. Reminds me of old highschool days. I’m getting old!

Don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone dissing anyone over this. Sitting is objectively cleaner; micro droplets.

I use an older model that’s kind of like this one.

Tis HEPA, but I’m sure you could get the same effect for cheaper. That said, I’ve been happy with mine for about 4 years now.

I’ve used Calibre and stripped DRM off eBooks, definitely recommend.

Practice your manual driving in a big open parking lot or something. Somewhere you don’t have to worry about rules of the road while still figuring out your muscle memory for shifting. Like everything else, it’ll become second nature in time.

Did you literally ignore my example? How does moving out of the way of an ambulance address either of my two points? For them to get out of the way, the ambulance had to reach the protestors. In doing that, the ambulance is already substantially delayed by avoidable traffic congestion.

And the on call doctor?

That’s ok though, ignore the substance of my argument and focus on the fact that you somehow found my post insulting. Forgive me for thinking you don’t know what you’re talking about, clearly you do since you… Completely ignored my examples.

When? After they’ve already backed up the road for miles? That’s not how traffic works.

How about an on-call doctor driving to an emergency case at the hospital? They going to magically see him coming and teleport everything out of his way?

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

I think ones that block roads are counter productive and just hurt their own causes. They should go bother the actual companies or politicians. Disrupting road ways is just stupid. You have no idea who you are impacting when you do that. Nobody would find it acceptable if my version of protesting was running around spraying a machine gun in the air. Do you think blocking roads can’t get people killed?

Everything is wrong unless it’s not, duh. Context is everything!

Sounds like a viable market gap for a new manufacturer!

Our Healthcare system is fucked. You really need to be your own advocate and do your own double-checking. Think about how many people are bad at their jobs, and realize that plenty of those people are doctors.

Event Horizon.

I’m pretty sure Trump is Darkseid and MAGA are literally being subjugated by the Anti-Life Equation.

That’s all the explanation that is needed.

Ah yes, the big bad government with their 5g magnetic vaccines.

Absolutely correct. CAT 5e should be able to max out at 125MB/s.

Damn, beat me to it!

If you want your life to change, you yourself must be open to change. Life itself is change. What exactly are you clinging so fiercely to? Misery? There’s a reason they say misery loves company.

Don’t aim for happy; aim for neutral, aim for peace, aim for not miserable. All of those are an infinite improvement.

Ok, let me be fair and clarify my FFXIV story. Yes I did meet my SO in a video game, and that all does sound too good to be true. What I left out was the hard work getting myself into in therapy and on a path to meaningfully and deliberately work at being happy. By the time I met my girlfriend, I was already in a much better head space, and I was already trying to put myself out there to actively start dating.

Regarding your other comment about life that doesn’t reproduce being not worth living, I don’t buy that for a second. All life hits a dead end. All will need to contend with The Big Freeze, The Big Rip, or The Big Crunch.

Life is meaningful precisely because it is finite. Infinities are a dime a dozen. And infinities await us all.

Made a friend in Final Fantasy XIV, which then blossomed into more. She moved across the country to be with me. We are one of those super-affectionate-joined-at-the-hip couples.

A lot of businesses can get by with just a browser these days.
