That last bit is a S tier depression sign.

I’m in the wrong business!

I have a cat, two dogs, married, high paying 30 hour a week job, no debt, several good friends, tight family. Still net negative.

My experience has been a net negative and I don’t event have it that bad.

Go outside. Pet an animal. Play in the snow if you have any. Get coffee with a friend. Etc.

More like between thanksgiving and the near year.

The south.

I can see a PA same day at a urgent care but not a doctor. So I can get meds for common things. But no ongoing care.

USA. Others have covered cost but I’d like to add how long it takes to see a doctor.

I have an established primary care physician that I’ve seen for years. Now though if I want an appointment I have to wait at least two months. So I have a membership with an urgent care near me that puts a $180 cap on visits to their chain of urgent cares. There is obviously no on going care with them but most of the time that’s okay.

A friend of mine doesn’t have an established PCP and to get one he must wait at least a calendar year….

Is there somewhere I can bet that prime gaming will be a dead project in a few years?

My father used to tell me sister he was going to paint “Goodyear” on the side of her and float her out the back door. Like a blimp. She turned out fine I think.

You tell your kids their ugly?

A wannabe manager / story teller type.

He couldn’t tell the truth to save his life. He would tell stories all day within earshot and you could hear the story morph through the day.

He’s a director of IT now I think. I can’t be sure because he never told the truth.

I hate concerts. I don’t want to be hard of hearing later in life. Drinks cost too much. Bathrooms have a line and smell awful. Thousands of people.

I’ve been to 5 or so in my life and each time I regret it and hate the whole experience. Even artists I really like. They just sound better in a quiet studio.

I don’t understand the appeal. Can someone explain it to me please?

What a terrible thing to try to unravel. And something we as a society should be very focused on solving.

Obviously there is little someone can do to prevent it since it can run locally. Making the exchange of CSAM illegal is easier.

I just hope the AI stuff reduces the exploitation of real children.

Then maybe we can focus on therapy for these sick minded fucks that create and consume CSAM.

Not a joke.

Copy left is like the Robin Hood of the copyright world. Basically, it’s a type of licensing where, sure, you can use, modify, and distribute the copyrighted work, but there’s a catch. You have to give the same rights to anyone else for any derivative works. So, if you modify the work, you can’t just slap a new copyright on it and restrict its use. It’s a way to ensure that the work stays free for everyone to use. It’s pretty popular in the open source community. It’s like copyright turned on its head, hence the name “copyleft”.

He has the best videos for burning an hour or falling asleep.

One without designer suffering.

Make things just complex enough that others don’t want to learn it but not so complex anyone can say it is too complex.

Also pick up tasks others don’t want to and make yourself hard to get rid of.

Then quit and get hired back as a consultant/contractor and work your own hours and how much you want to.

I paid off all of my debts and have a few months saved up. Same feeling I think. It is the most freeing feeling I’ve ever felt. Like a mini retirement.
