Yes, these stories are either outright lies, or are about rich people not being willing to wait their turn. Meanwhile, here I am drowning in medical debt, putting off getting procedures done, and trying to decide if I would rather just live with my dental problems, or risk getting kidnapped and murdered in Mexico, because they have so many Americans crossing the border to get dental work that they have not one, but multiple top tier dental towns.

Fancy word people,
with your stupid tricky words.
Fuck your tricky words.

That’s not the advertisement that you think it is. If you think about it for even a moment you’ll realize that it’s because we prioritize the wealthy in the US. Sure a rich person from Canada can come down and get a procedure in a moment’s notice but how many Americans have to leave the US to get the procedure themselves or even worse are never able to get it at all?

It’s more like the difference between not being able to avoid being in a boxing match vs getting mugged by a gang of thugs looking to prove how tough they are. Either way you’re getting punched in the face, but there is a difference in the level of harm that they intend to inflict.

I think a lot of people are really bothered by it, but just don’t understand why. They can sense the hate and bigotry layered into the scenario, but they can’t really see past the the misandry in the responses to see just how truly awful the question is. And I think they cant just let it go without understanding it.

Not just the layers, but a full history of every alteration they made from the first pixel to the last.

It is always the stuff that they mumble and handwave that you have to watch out for. The Moderation part is just to get everyone all talking about that. The scary part is the “other stuff”. They probably want access to everyone’s data so they can train their AI on it.

Drunk posting is sad.

you don’t need to use it at the first place

So we should all live alone in the woods in shacks we built for ourselves, wearing the pelts of random animals we caught and ate?
Just because I have the skills to live like a savage doesn’t mean I want to. Hell, even the idea of glamping sounds awful to me.
No thanks, I will use modern technology to ease my life just as much as I can.

It’s because CF could see that moving to another provider would not be too difficult for them. If they went month to month then they would be gone after one month. So CF decided to go with extortion instead. Either pay for $120k, or CF will set fire to your business.

This is all amazing advice, and I would like to add one thing to it, don’t lie to her. People casually lie to their kids all the time, “I don’t have any change”, “we are all out of cookies”, “don’t worry, grandma is fine and will be back to normal in no time.”. Kids aren’t stupid, and they remember way more than you think. They see you pull out the change you “didn’t have” at the next stop. They see/hear/smell the cookies that you are sneakily eating. They can tell something is wrong with grandma. Have some backbone and be honest, “no, we aren’t wasting money on trash toys”, “no, sugar this late will keep you awake and make you insane”, “grandma is not feeling well, but we are doing everything we can for her, and we are going to let her know we miss her and love her”.

As someone who has trouble with his emotions, I can tell you that for me it has nothing to do with being macho or manly, it is about depression. My depression stems from childhood trauma and abuse, but it doesn’t really matter the source of the depression if it is crushing the ability to feel out of you.

Ass well

He was not banned to block free speech. He was banned for breaking the law in Germany. If he hadn’t broken the law, he could go where he wants.
This is a blatant political/publicity stunt.

The scrappy competitor had the superior OS, but they never delivered. They insisted on running their OS on their proprietary hardware. They couldn’t stop stepping on their own dicks right up until they needed Microsoft to bail them out. Windows was not the OS we needed, but was the OS we deserved.

The young upstart Microsoft fatally wounded the International Business Machines behemoth and brought us an OS for the common man. Something simplified that could provide a GUI and run on just about any hardware a normal person could afford. And thus everyone lived happily ever after.
The scrappy competitor stepped in with better design and a great deal of care about the customer experience to knock the dominant OS bully off… Whoops, the scrappy competitor stepped on his own dick… And again, and again… And then the scrappy competitor had to be bailed out by the OS bully. And thus everyone lived not un-happily ever after.
Until, the people’s hero entered the ring with their open phone OS, a replacement for the Netscape browser but this time with real money backing it, and a moto of righteousness, “Don’t be evil”. Once in the ring they began kicking all the Goliaths in their dicks… Cellular teleco, oppressive OS makers, even home Internet providers. There was no monopoly whose reproductive organs were safe from the swift boots of our savior Google. And thus everyone lived happily ever after.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

The heavy duty soaps used in dishwasher soap will strip the seasoned layer off your pans. Then you will need to re-season them. Some people like to make seasoning your pans into an extreme ritual that can be tedious. But if you’ve got stuff so hardcore stuck to your pan that a little soaking doesn’t solve the problem then your seasoned layer is screwed anyways. So you might as well let the dishwasher do the hard work for you.

I have a 15 year old Subaru with the same problem. And even when we bought the car new it was a well known issue with Subaru. Welcome to being a Subaru owner.

Check your blood pressure, high blood pressure can cause ED problems. For me my BP was what they consider borderline but under high enough stress situations it would cause me ED issues.
