Thank you for this :) I run HomeAssistant and didn’t even consider checking to see if there was an integration

What the fuck.

My eyes always do this and I was diagnosed with ADD as a child after an IQ test. Teachers before always accused me of being dishonest and I got into all sorts of trouble because of it.

Me being exactly 5 in the 90s:

I remember the Age of Empires 3 activation code like it was yesterday.

QRR4P-F4FDP-H9876M… something something.

Never. At my work it would be career suicide to identify as that and I’d open myself up to harassment and career progression issues.

It’s the new “btw I use arch”

Only if the cheque goes towards improving the UX of it all. The main thing that prevents normal users from switching is forcing them to learn new concepts like federation, picking a server, and all that entails.

People here are in a bubble where they think everyone else is as tech savvy as them.

Yay!

If you lie, you have to consistently repeat that story to keep up the lie. This usually involves smaller lies to pad the bigger lie with so it blends in with truth. This is like a web, where all stories are connected and each must be upheld for the main big lie to be believable.

Someone who doesn’t have years of experience in lying and its consequences won’t know that each subsequent lie now needs to be upheld, so things get messy.

It just occurred to me that Russia and china are going to get everything they want while America and the west sit on their hands.

True, but when it’s a main community that pertains to your interests, it’s crappy to be banned from it for fictional reasons. Would be the same on any other social media site I guess. I find people here are more militant in their beliefs.

I got banned from the Canada community and according to the mod log, it was for homophobia and bigotry.

That really rubs me the wrong way because I’ve never ever posted anything like that. I’ve been the subject of homophobic and bigotry based bullying my whole life and the only comment I posted on that topic there was an account of my first hand experience of being catfished on Grindr and then outed as bi on the towns facebook page and subjected to ridicule and harassment.

My mother in law doesn’t believe in germs or illness so she came over when she had the flu and now the entire house is sick. My wife’s got a high fever and I can’t breathe out of my nose. I’m exhausted with all the back-to-back dinners.

We’ve had a big family dinner full of high cholesterol low fibre food since a Monday and this won’t end until Jan 3 so I’m running on fucking fumes.

People just want to be accepted and loved. Use this knowledge to get almost anyone to do what you want.

Observe their body language. Do they cross their arms a lot? How much eye contact do they make? Do they shift around when talking? Do their eyes dart around the room?

All these are clues about their personality and disposition and you can tailor your communication to them depending on how receptive they are. Do they laugh easily? What makes them laugh? Do they talk a lot? Do they talk about themselves?

Finding out to what degree of extrovert/introvert they are can go a long way into successfully manipulating anyone around you to do what you want.

It’s how I’ve made friends and how I’ve dated women with variable rates of success.
