On my brief 4-6 month career on Tinder many years ago, one of the only “successful” dates was someone who was trying to force it as much as possible. In their defense though, I feel like the apps encourage this.

It was here I learned that it was a huge turn-off for me and that I prefer to meet people organically.

Another streaming service that started around the same time as Netflix’s. More focused on TV shows and now owned by Disney.

Decades of retro game collecting experience leads me to agree :)

It’s also odd because of Xbox’s recent push to boost market share in Japan. Why would they close their only Japanese studio?

I’m about 6 years completely Amazon-free. A key component of the switch was realizing a lot of the random stuff I’d buy (mostly cycling equipment) is cheaper on eBay with faster shipping. The irony is that the seller is likely the same one on Amazon and the items would be delivered by Amazon Fulfillment Services.

A few years back in Massachusetts actually, the taxpayers hit an annual threshold cap and the state had to refund some of the money to those who filed.

THIS IS THE HOT SOUP OF THE NIGHT 🎶

Not sure what drugs you’re doing but I’m about 6 years clean now. One thing that helped me the most was rediscovering my passion for video games. I guess my advice would be to find a hobby or something to focus on and forget about the world for a few hours.

If you want to feel like you’re doing something productive, get involved in your local community. It’s very difficult to fight fascism at a macro level but building bonds and protecting those in your immediate vicinity makes more of a difference than it seems.

I deactivated Facebook proper years ago but still have Messenger active due to one group chat and the ability to contact many people I don’t have other contact info for. I don’t install it on my phone or access it on my desktop- only have it on my old iPad. Check it maybe once or twice a month.

If I ever get a new iPad, I’m probably going to cut it off for good.

I would love to but I mainly watch YouTube and other video content on my living room TV. That’s probably a barrier for a lot of us.

Will and Jada have some suspicious ties to the Church and its beliefs too. They’ve denied being part of it but some instances are so overt that it’s likely true.
