Why did you cross out what he wrote then write the same thing?

The evidence shows he clearly can’t.

That’s a great idea and I may do the same, because I have the means. I won’t blame ANYONE that can’t because they are just struggling to get by, though. There’s going to be a lot of pain and a lot of people are going to have to go into survival mode. If they have to buy the cheapest shit at Walmart to get by, I won’t judge.

As an American I’m here for it and encourage it. These greedy evil fuckers need to be brought down and if we have to burn it all down so be it, so we can rebuild better. What we have now is clearly not functioning for anyone but the 1%.

Those stickers have no legal weight anyway, at least in the United States. The manufacturer has to prove that you damaged the device, whether the sticker is there or not. They can not refuse service just because a sticker is missing.

Ok but what type of LAN gauge? Are you talking like an ethernet cable tester, a protocol analyzer, what? Are we dealing with fiber, ethernet, or even shudder token ring?

I have an very long blacklist of companies for this reason.

The problem with standing up for your privacy is that it massively diminishes the resources available to you. I’m down to shopping at Costco as a single adult, because I had to say fuck you to Target recently, and my local grocery store was busy doing anti-union bullshit at the same time. So I’m driving further and probably paying more in the long run.

But they aren’t principles if you don’t have to give something up to stick by them.

As someone who is probably 3x your age and has been around the block a few times in some non-standard social circles, let me assure you there are plenty of women out there looking for exactly what you described yourself as. Are they the majority of <insert dating app>, probably not, but who cares? You aren’t looking to date 500 people, just 1.

Be yourself and go find her.

This guy doesn’t sound basic so why would he want those basic bitches? 😂

Do you wanna be mostly/sorta/un happy with someone that was easy to get because you were role playing someone else, or do you want to be truly happy with the person that accepted you as you are, but took a lot more effort to find?

Different people will make different choices in that situation. Everyone has to decide for themselves.

Why the hell do you have a Hot Topic gift card?

Correlation does not equal causation.

You have to be a little off to WANT to interact with ChatGPT that much in the first place.

I just smoked a j and I’m reading through this thread and all the regular advice comments, then I hit this and started laughing so hard I almost had an aneurysm.

Thank you.

Unfortunately for them, my relationship with Microsoft expired last year.

Uhh I use Librewolf with UBlock daily and have been for almost 2 years. It still works fine, including for reading Guardian’s website and blocking those annoying elements.

In fact I’m almost certain UBlock Origin is included in a default Librewolf install anymore.

Despite their best efforts.

When you switch and realize how much better it is than Windows, and you can rest easy knowing your own OS isn’t spying on you or stealing your data, it tends to make you a little bit of an evangelist.

Installing the popular Linux distros today is easier than Windows XP was, and it’s arguably easier than Windows 11. It definitely asks you less questions and doesn’t require you to change 30 different settings from the defaults.

Linux has come a long way from my first install of CentOS on a server in the mid 00’s. You had to be pretty dedicated to run linux successfully back then, but these days it’s cake.

I did lots of stuff with them back in the day besides games! Rendered some space ship flybys in Imagine, made custom icons for everything on my workbench, ripped sounds and quotes from my favorite movies, even ran my own BBS for a couple years.

But whenever I turn it on these days it’s just playing a few games and listen to some MODs. It’s just a nostalgia machine now. 😁

Yes I still have it. Repair of the motherboard was attempted but failed. Then I sent pics to the premier repair guy overseas. He said it was too damaged to repair, unfortunately.

I’ll probably part it out at some point but I haven’t had the will to fully dismantle it yet.

Still have the first computer I bought with my own money, and it still works. It’s an Amiga 500 from 1991. I fire it up and play ancient games with it once in a while, on the ancient 1084s CRT monitor.

Also had one of the super rare A3000T’s but unfortunately the battery corroded the motherboard while I had it stored away. I didn’t even learn about that problem until researching what had gone wrong with my beautiful Amiga tower. C’est la vie. At least I was able to get an image of the 120MB SCSI hard drive, which I can boot up in an emulator and relive the glory days of 1993.
