From a mental health POV, having dogs has definitely helped me maintain routine, reduce emotional escalation and kept me aware of how I am accountable to keep them going too.
Sometimes you can get so stuck in your ways, thinking in the moment you need to panic to survive. It takes a cute animal reacting to that to make you realise there's other ways to be.
tl;dr - Dogs teach us to be better people.
And yet the bible, a filthy book full of smut about nudist couples, prostitutes and much worse and more, is just allowed everywhere.
Yep, which from a system setup point of view makes a lot of sense. I'm glad law makers are thinking about computer system design even if the laws aren't perfect out the gate. At least in this instance it isn't some covert data collection exercise!
To be honest I haven't read the law in detail, but I doubt they've thought about things like automation, share accounts and other sysops concerns but it's better than the past 30 years where lawmakers treat digital and the internet like some mystical black box that'll sort itself out.
A bunch of nerds who only cared about perfection.
That way the idea can't be corrupted cause a nerd's obsession is more powerful than anything.
It's insane to think anyone would travel to the US as a tourist, or for work.
"Age verification" is a big umbrella. Claiming that merely checking an entered birth date is the equivalent of uploading an ID is disingenuous and just fishing for clicks.
Yes, there are tangible connections to other concerning privacy violations in this space... but come on. Steam asks you for your birth date before you watch an R18+ game trailer. I've been lying on that form for over twenty years, since before I was 18.
Getting upset over this feels like the beginning of getting your panties twisted over everything. "Oh no, someone pressed a button on a keyboard, that's how nukes are fired!"
This feels like a non issue.
Cries upside down (Australian)
I became so good at masking because of coming from a environment where my needs weren't met and my true self wasn't safe to exist. I was often more concerned about making sure my parents didn't pop off that I developed an unhealthy way of looking at the world where I put the needs of others above myself - to the point of complete self destruction in front of people who cared about me.
Over the years I finally realised what was going on, but it took being with another person who also has autism and C-PTSD to observe the behaviours in one another and finally take control. In some ways it is a little tragic we both went through so much hardship while having our basic needs ignored from a young age, but in another way I'm so grateful for the miracle of having found a person who perfectly fits my broken parts so we can guide each other through it with understanding and experience.
I regret the times I've treated others unfairly because of the pressures of life and not having the resources or wisdom to do things properly. I'm doing my best now to make amends for my past mistakes, heal myself and move into the future with healthy boundaries. I've been hurt in ways I can't even begin to explain, I require a certain amount of medication just to function but I'm still here and I feel optimistic for the future. It's going to be hard work to rebuild the things I've lost, but I'm motivated to do good for myself and for the new family I'm building.
Anyone else getting Old El Paso vibes from the colour scheme?
If you have a budget, I highly recommend getting a Synology NAS. Synology are a Taiwanese company with decent reliable enthusiast and SME software.
They have a bit of a reputation for overcharging for hard drives with their logos on it, but otherwise it can do all the things you need, pretty much turn key solutions for cloud services like mail server, office collaboration suite, cloud drive, team chat and so much more.
We're all going to hell for joking about this when the actual video comes out.
Except for Dogman, who was bitten by a radioactive dog during a school trip. Now he can use scent to track his enemies and hear a bad guy whisper across a building.
