Please. It's not about "willpower." Poverty plays a part. Genetics plays a part. Our unhealthy lifestyles under capitalism plays a part. But go ahead and blame people for things that might just be beyond their control. That always makes a difference. /s
Only when forced to by the phone breaking, switching providers, or, as in the case of my last phone, when they shut down a network (2G).
I got a Pantum laser printer and it's free of all the rent-a-printer crap that the big ones are pulling now. It was easy to set up with my Linux system too.
"The thief thinks everyone steals."
They already do all this with social safety net programs like Social Security and HUD/Section 8. Go to jail, lose your benefits. Every year is a ton of hoop jumping and massive stress while I recertify for my housing voucher and the measly $2 in food stamps they give my family per month. And that's without me even going to protests anymore.
I don't do surveys of any kind. They aggregate so much data on me as it is, I don't want to give them my opinions also.
Playing hypothetical games like this are poisonous to a relationship. My advice is to not do that kind of thing anymore.
Until and unless they break up these predatory property management companies, anything they do push through won't be anywhere near enough.
I left reddit when the mod kerfuffle started but I had a bad experience with r/Anarchism long before that and hadn't been a member for quite a while.
I went to a Mastodon server where other anarchists are.
All parakeets are parrots but not all parrots are parakeets.
Eclectus are gorgeous. The males are emerald green with orange beaks. They have the most sexual dimorphism of any of the parrot family.
Just a nitpick, that bird is not a parakeet. It's a female eclectus parrot.
There are a number of parakeet species so referring to a bird as a parakeet isn't specific. The most common parrot kept as pets are budgerigars, or budgies. Which is the one I think you were referring to.
Parrots being a special interest of mine I had to drop this on impulse.
They should live within their means like they're making the rest of us do. If I can support a family of 3 on less than 25K a year, then they make more than enough.
Yeah, like 20 years ago. He's gotten so horrible over the decades.
I did once because the driver completely ignored my delivery instructions and I called to cancel the tip. They refunded it immediately.
Our building has a problem with theft, which I noted in my instructions, and they left the order in the lobby despite my clear warning to the contrary.
I seem to have misplaced my violin as it's so tiny.
But to quote their ridiculous ancient book of nonsense, you reap what you sow.
The day they stop trying to shove their own personal religious choices down everyone else's throat and criminalizing what should be a woman's own bodily autonomy is the day I stop feeling this way.
Too bad medical science can't invent a killer virus that takes out right wing fundamentalists with pinpoint accuracy.
Warframe: ITS BEGUN! Something Has Started knocking in Deimos Already
Oh Lawd, he comin'
I'm so freaking excited.
Do people really hate the New War and Kahl's Garrison so much?
I'm a relatively new player, been at it for three or four months now. I mostly play solo so I'm figuring things out on my own and sometimes it's slow going; I resort to googling things quite often because I don't quite understand what's going on. I've gotten up to MR14. Been unable to beat the MR15 test so far as I'm pretty bad at interceptions.
I finally decided to buckle down and do the New War quest over the weekend and I really enjoyed it. I liked all the different perspectives and switches to game play style, plus the lore and plot line were amazing. I finally understand what's going on in the game. But there were a few places I got stuck so I looked things up and saw how many posts there were by people complaining about the quest line and hating on it.
I found it to be pretty forgiving of an old(er) person whose reflexes, reaction time and visual processing are going to shit. The boss fights weren't that bad, really. Since I solo and haven't gotten anywhere near the kind of strength I see the Steel Path folks putting out when I'm grouped with them during Circuit, the purported tediousness folks were complaining about was just par for the course for how I usually do boss fights: run around like a chicken on fire and get off a shot or two occasionally until it's over. The four hours the quest is supposed to take was more like nine hours for me but all in all it wasn't too bad and I was able to finish it in time for Circuit.
Then I hopped into Kahl's Garrison and the first mission I got was Sneaky Sabotage and that was a bit of a slog because I didn't know WTF was going on and the deacons were everywhere. I did finish it, barely. I did the next one yesterday night and did much better. I like the different game mode and having to adapt to different rules of play. But again, I saw tons of people complaining about it during various web searches. I didn't see anyone talking about how they enjoyed either of those scenarios.
Surely there are other people out there that like some or all of this content? Or am I just the weirdo who's about to be downvoted to oblivion?
PS4/PS5 Warframe Clan for Women
I've got a clan going for women only (which includes transwomen). I'm on PS5 so it's only available to gamers on PS4 or PS5. Leave your gamer tag here, or look for Sisters of Mayhem in game to apply.
What have I done?
What have I done?
I accidentally created a Sister of Parvos and I don't feel I was ready for it to happen. All of Venus is covered with a blue haze and the nodes are much higher level than they were before. I don't quite know what to do, tbh. I didn't even know a Sister had been created until I saw my money at the end of the mission was stolen by her.
I'm an older gamer so my reflexes aren't what they used to be. I have a Riven rifle mod but haven't been able to unveil it as I haven't been able to do the challenge yet (three head shots in one aim glide). I've got quite a few warframes including a few primes, but not a huge array of weapons. I also mostly solo the game so I don't have a group to help me with this.
Is there a way to get Venus cleared so it's useable again? I know I'm not going to be able to kill this interloper for a while yet but if I can get Venus clear she can lurk in the Void forever as far as I'm concerned. or at least until I'm strong enough to deal with her.
