That’s a ferret.

I feel you. I used to be the same. I got used to audiobooks in the same way, but only because I had to, when I had my kid, and I couldn’t spare the hands to read. I could, however, get some sport headphones, bone-conducting, so I could hear the baby if she cried but could hear my book without disturbing her, and once I was used to that, that became my preferred way to read.

Maybe that made me more adaptable.

Either way, if you don’t need to adapt, there’s no harm in not adapting. Live your life, you’ll adapt when/if you need to.

I used to feel that way, they didn’t have the depth I wanted.

My wife has sent me so many tiktoks that I got used to it.

Now I still don’t watch them, but because I’d get stuck in them. Whatever my wife sends, and specific ones from content people I know make quality, and that’s about it. Once you get past them being presented in a new way, they’re more addicting to ADHD brains.

I will say that if you were gonna pick your minute long vertical video platform, tiktok is the best one, YouTube the worst, but Facebook and Instagram are a lot closer to YouTube shorts than tiktoks. I’m reasonably confident it’s because YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram see it as a way to extend your stay on a platform with other content, while tiktok focuses on it exclusively. Their algorithms are doing different things.

While I agree an anticapitalist author would lean that way, I don’t agree with the implication that you need an anticapitalist author to write a good book.

It just means they know the truth, and decided to be capitalist, anyway. Ignorant people can be educated, but this author understood the cause and sold us out for money, instead of joining.

Naturally, I won’t be supporting them.

That’s very fair. Plenty of books out there.

Pirating an anticapitalist book sounds so morally correct

When I decide I can’t support an author, I specifically buy the books used. Maybe that’s an option for you, here.

I got my kid the whole Harry potter series second hand from thrift stores, cost me maybe 15$ total, didn’t finance Rowling at all. Took me a bit, they only show up once in a while.

That or straight up piracy. Author gets the same 0$ either way.

Stay with your parents.

If you can afford to move to a new place on your own with what you make right now, you can afford to put that same money into a savings account. That money in the bank is far more useful if something happens to you, your kid, or your parents. Figure out what you’d pay in a new house, childcare, mortgage, the whole thing, subtracting what you currently pay, and set it aside.

Also, I assume whatever your dad would’ve given you is some kind of retirement fund, and while that’s very nice of him to offer it, it’d be better for him to still have that later, for all the same reasons it’s good for you to save.

If it’s not a retirement fund, then it either is in some kind of high interest savings account, or should be. You can take his example or you both can look into that together, and set that up for his current money and your future money.

Money aside, having family support is worth so much more than it seems. I have a child the same age, too, and the difference between me being able to go do something, anything, from see a movie to shop to go on a date with my wife, and be able to leave my kid at home and know she’s in good hands, it’s worth so much more than it seems like it should be. My advice is even if you decide to move out, do it when your kid is more independent, and you have an even better financial situation.

They support the Roman empire and believe it to be superior.

This shakes that belief.

I do.

I mean none of it is good, but there’s cat food that genuinely tastes bad.

Aren’t you a little curious?

You could call it c/puzzlemethis, maybe. It’d sound like “riddle me this” so the purpose is pretty easy to figure out, but it also says that this isn’t just riddles.

Luckily my model of other people’s model of me has lost enough genuine character that it’s more of a trope so my model of someone else’s model of me has like 3 models that apply to everyone and that’s so reductive I ignore them.

Well clearly the dog was religious and preferred to eat things that were free of sin.

I appreciate it. I knew this, but external reminders are more powerful.

Not encrypted info, if they set it up right.

But regardless, what they want is more like an actual

Currently, companies generally want warrants to give information like that.

Warrants are hard to come by when the government simply wants to read everyone’s messages in case they’re doing criminal activity.

Even in the best case, the completely honest with no hidden motives situation, they want messages to be more, a source of probable cause for other things. Like getting a drug sniffing dog, who detects drugs, and gives cops reasonable suspicion and therefore allows them to search your car.

Worst-case, I don’t think anyone trusts the government in this day and age to not just read your messages to discriminate against you.

Plus the usual security concerns where digital backdoors are weak spots for other governments and everyone else.

And all that is the general case. this is Desantis’s Florida. It’s probably so he can tell who is gay and who isn’t so he can make them illegal.

Some companies are happy to share, though, like you said, even without warrants. Those companies generally aren’t encrypting your messages at all. This doesn’t affect them. The law would just affect those that promise security, promise encryption, etc. Those would be, with this law, not quite public, but transparent to the government and compromised to everyone else.

While you’re right, first I wanna say, “unskilled labor” tends to be cashiers, stocking, waiting on tables, that sort of thing. Any job where you’re an apprentice for any length of time, thats skilled labor.

“skilled labor” vs "unskilled labor would be named best as “credentialed labor” and “on-the-job training labor” in my opinion. There might be a better word, but the meaning of those is more accurate.

I was great at my call center job, I had skills that got me promotions, but many those skills could’ve only been taught at that job, and they only applied at that job. It’s not that that job didn’t have skills, it’s that you couldn’t arrive with all the skills you’d need to succeed.

This is also true of “skilled” labor, but to a much lesser degree.

I haven’t used raidz but a quick search tells me it supports single-drive expansion.

Maybe reconfigure your raidz as a 2-drive system, then copy over all your data into it, and expand it back into a 3-drive system after.

Maybe the poster thought there was a countdown. Not this one though, so you’re absolutely right.

It works better when both gunners care about innocents. Imagine the ranger couldn’t find hits hideout, a big enough place it wasn’t easy, and Texas red didn’t wanna shoot up the place he was living.

The ranger might get a message saying a time and place, so they can meet without causing a bunch of damage or risking innocents.

Of course, the moustache-twirling sort of villains wouldn’t work with that at all. Just can’t trust them. But there’s plenty of room for this to make sense sometimes.

Well they make a lot of sense if you can’t trust your clients.

My high school’s computer lab were all thin clients. I was told each cost like 20$ (wouldn’t be surprised if he exaggerated the cheapness a bit), and the server was being used for more than just the thin clients, anyway.

Hes well away from all the salt on the roads, and gets an annual car wash + soak. Can’t hurt.
