I think the larger point is that teachers are having to pay for their own supplies as well which are necessary like books, art supplies for younger populations, paper, writing utensils, etc. Its a well known fact that unfortunately teachers have to do this as some schools are not providing these materials/supplies.

Very different than a show and a TCG

Between the two, Flesh and Blood looks like long term would have more staying power. They are currently having international and local events. Looks very cool... And tempting haha. I love TCGs too but it is an investment and time consuming....

The Americans is the best show ive ever seen. Absolutely brilliant from the story to the acting.

My favorite show is also Haunting on Hill House. Its on Netflix. Perfect for Halloween if anyone is interested.

This or some kind of psychosis... Mental health, neurocognitive abnormalities scare the shit out of me. That its very possible it can happen to me.

Unsure what "stable" means but if youre looking to work from home with a nursing degree: Insurances, utilization management/review, public health, call center (Kaiser call center RNs make BANK), etc. If you want more daily flexibility in your schedule I had some friends take a paycut to do home health or hospice. Theres so many routes... And of course different jobs outside of nursing.

I do not think I blame any services or sites for paywalls especially if its part of their financial model to continue operations and providing services.

There are many free services I have the privilege of being able to pay for to support: Proton, StoryGraph, Wikipedia. I used to donate to Pocket but no longer. I want these services to continue and am privileged enough to be able to donate

Well I guess for me is wondering if this trend started because people thought it would be either functional or cool vs businesses being malicious and their aim was more surveillance tolerance?

People dont think its weird to have a camera on a laptop or phone anymore. Instead, people sometimes are now buying phones for the picture quality... And fridges with WiFi because the tech is cool or something.

Many influencers too in general.

The addition of microphones and cameras to things like phones, computers, watches and other technology is to normalize being surveiled as well as minimize other privacy violations. We now have fridges that have WiFi capabilities now and often in the presence of some sort of device with a camera due to phones.

I would think games like Divinity Sin 2, Balder's Gate 3 have solid stories given their nature.

Theres also simpler games like Cat Quest II, Diablo IV (I thought story was very meh), A Way Out, etc.

You just have to look? No genre preference listed

Pet Semetary by Stephen King.

And just finished We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer... It was okay. Wouldn't be something I recommend as nothing was amazing. Interesting story but thats about it
