The free tier will let you swipe x times per day.

Of the 10,000 matches in your area, 1000 might be real humans.

So, it ends up feeling like a waste of time for any guy that doesn’t get their profile pics taken by a professional. The odds of your iPhone pics standing out are slim unless you’re rocking a speedo packing a hog, ridiculously muscular, or apparently holding a fish? That can’t be working…

It ends up feeling like a waste of time.

Would you prefer beans?

The Chuckie series gonna get a reboot.

Remember when movies were unpredictable and good?

My first reaction was “an army of middle school boys?”

Great answer.

This is otherwise kinda tough.

Like, it’s okay to be afraid of things, even really important things. But you need to be aware the degree to which your life is limited by not learning these things.

You don’t need to learn to swim. You don’t need to learn to drive. You don’t have to fly in a plane. Its all your perogitive.

That said, if they were already afraid, co quered that fear, met their fear, now we gotta talk PTSD. As someone mentioned, driving PTSD can be very sneaky and very real. Not addressing this could literally lead to a lifetime of carsickness as a passenger.

So yeah. I say saddle back up. It is scary and it can feel like you don’t have control, but that’s life. Rural roads minimize the negatives.

I thought it was the protestors wearing masks! Honest!

In a stand your ground state?

Haha, ok. Good luck, Attorney General James Uthmeier.

If an armed protestor shoots a driver who is driving at them with intent to cause bodily harm, they… Both have the right to possibly kill one another?

Driver has the green light. Gunman has the green light.

Cool, cool. Makes sense.

There’s no black and white to these terms.

Suffice it to say, when a working class person, say, gets a DUI, it will literally ruin their life.

When a middle class person gets a DUI, it will ruin their year.

When you’re upper middle class, that DUI fucking sucks. But you got it. Family is still going on vacation. Christmas isn’t cancelled.

When an upper class person gets a DUI, it will inconvenience their evening, and maybe, just maybe, their public image. (gasp)

Not having a credit card doesn’t make it any more difficult for someone to steal your identity, provided you keep your card secure/on you.

Like, the essence of having a line of credit does not prevent someone from opening a line of credit in your name. Freezing your credit does?

I dont have an answer to your question, but if that is really the only reason you don’t have a CC, just get a CC. Get a CC and freeze your lines of credit. Then your identity is more secure than it is right now, and you’ll have a credit card.

Man the difference between 23 and 33 and giving a shit is crazy.

I had my heart broken badly when I was 23 and honestly, it fucked up a good bit of my 20s. Even some of my 30s.

My advice first will be therapy. Breakups hurt losing friends hurts. Your gonna feel the pain of the collapse of the ability to dream about your shared future a lot. You need to start dreaming about a new different future.

This next piece of advice might sound impossible, but you need to go no contact with her for a good 6 months while you process this. That muscle in your brain trained to daydream about your future is gonna be a bitch, and hanging out and acting like friends is gonna make that take forever. Go no contact. You can be friends again later, but not now.

You got this.

This PC is basically top of the line.

Important question? Will be be running Windows or Linux?

Intel i9 14th gen and Nvidia graphics on Linux… Those CPUs have had issues and Nvidia graphics and Linux are a notorious frustration. Don’t get me wrong, I do it, it’s doable. It’s just a bit of troubleshooting here and there.

With Windows, this won’t be as much of a consideration.

But to answer your question, it’s top tier.

It depends on your perspective of what feigned happiness is.

There’s a fine line between faking a mood and trying your best to see something in a positive light.

In my neck of the woods, gas station owners have sharpies which of the 10 buttons is the mute button.

So as soon as the ad plays you just press mute.

It is God awful though.

Oh, maybe you missed it but it’s because there’s an asshole in office.

I find Bell Of The Ranch usually summarizes these sorts of political situations adequately.

Disclaimer: She’s not a news source. But, you know, neither are we here, so…

You could probably deobfuscate their ad IDs on googles network to obtain real time tracking data for free.

It’d be a non-trivial project, but 100% doable.

Real Time Bidding is wild.

Strap him to a rocket, guy loves rockets.

Hey, you wanna license the Beatles? I’m your guy

Did your kid have a working phone before or no phone at all?

This is very unusual, be it pocket change for them or not. If you were a loaded with cash, would they be cool with you buying their kid a Ferrari? A cyber truck? It’s not a normal thing to do, and it doesn’t respect that a given home might carry a particular set of rules of values.

If your kid has no phone, I could see this as a possible charitable act. Still weird. If you kid has a working phone this is fucking bananas, and you’re right to question every detail of this.
