It might be a scam, but I talked to someone through better help for a few weeks. She helped me get rid of my overall negativity really fast. She didn't teach me anything revolutionary, but she made me face the issue face on. 2y later and I haven't fallen back into my old ways. So for me personally, it was an absolute success story.

I have other issues like every human being, but I am not a Debby downer anymore around others

Nowhere? Sit with my own sadness. Go to the gym and work my frustration out on weights. Play games and forget? Unfortunately none of them healthy coping mechanisms, but talking to close ones leads to more issues because I'm very bad at putting my feelings into words without causing distress to others apparently. So inwards it goes.

Not as if the universe cares, so why should I?...

This doesn't surprise me. If I hear stories of some of my teenager son's classmates it sounds realistic. The other day one of his mates spent 20k in an arcade on claw machines in a single afternoon. He "won" like 4-5 massive plush dolls, and had to hide them at our place to avoid parental wrath. Can buy them for 2000jpy incl shipping on aliexpress.

Some of his friends spent their entire allowance and more on fortnite every month. Parental failure imo. Parents should teach their kids the value of things...

Cool concept. But the art style ain't my thing unfortunately. I hope they clean up the art and animation a bit. The cover art has a cool style.

*days or even hours, until you run out of gas.

Except for musquitos. They're fair game.

Lord of the rings is a great book series.

I'm very fond of scifi, the old man war series is a very fun and smooth series to read. I like to recommend it to ppl that want to read a longer, but easy to digest series.

If you like scifi in general, you can't go wrong by picking any random nebula award winner. It's what I've done these past few years. Can't say I've regretted it this far.

You'll have plenty time to read amazing books now that you don't have to waste your time in church, reading the Bible and thinking about skydaddy. Welcome to freedom!

Except for the assassination of Abe, which was a resounding success by any measure. The perp got everything he wanted and more.

I agree with the first one. Everyone should be able to love any adult in any way shape or form they want with consent of all involved parties.

But the the relatives one runs into issues with abuse and clear voluntary consent. Grooming is an actual thing, and a much bigger potential risk if the groomer is raising you from your infancy. I would add the caveat if you really want to make it acceptable, it should only be allowed between people of the same generation, and only when they're well into adulthood.

How would you deal with violent crimes (murder, rape, abuse, things that are considered morally reprehensible by most people, regardless of religion and affiliation) without a penal system? Mob punishment?

Yeah, nothing beats parsec tbh.

 

I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What's a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it's my first time doing this and I'm a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

 

I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

 

I love the content posted here. As someone that has recently started dabbling in AI image Gen, it would be an amazing learning tool to see a) which model was used to generate the image and b) which prompt was given. With a) being most interesting imo.

Is there any reason this is not required?

(hope it's OK to post this here, didn't see anything in the rules about it)
