Please. It's not about "willpower." Poverty plays a part. Genetics plays a part. Our unhealthy lifestyles under capitalism plays a part. But go ahead and blame people for things that might just be beyond their control. That always makes a difference. /s

Only when forced to by the phone breaking, switching providers, or, as in the case of my last phone, when they shut down a network (2G).

I got a Pantum laser printer and it's free of all the rent-a-printer crap that the big ones are pulling now. It was easy to set up with my Linux system too.

"The thief thinks everyone steals."

They already do all this with social safety net programs like Social Security and HUD/Section 8. Go to jail, lose your benefits. Every year is a ton of hoop jumping and massive stress while I recertify for my housing voucher and the measly $2 in food stamps they give my family per month. And that's without me even going to protests anymore.

I went to a Mastodon server where other anarchists are.

ClipGrab still works. But it's a program, not an extension.

The only purpose to life is to live it. Beyond that, you have to find the meaning that suits you for yourself.

The saying, "the thief thinks everyone steals" applies here.

Everything he is accusing those aligned against his bullshit of is stuff he has done, or would do. He can't see the world in any other light.

A grief support group could be what you need. Check with her oncologist or your doctor to find one.

I don't struggle with it. When the end finally comes it will bring peace the likes of which I've never experienced. Life's been hard and as I age, my body is breaking down in little annoying ways that add up into a larger annoyance. The only thing I fear about the end is dying in pain.

 

Oh Lawd, he comin'

I'm so freaking excited.

 

I'm a relatively new player, been at it for three or four months now. I mostly play solo so I'm figuring things out on my own and sometimes it's slow going; I resort to googling things quite often because I don't quite understand what's going on. I've gotten up to MR14. Been unable to beat the MR15 test so far as I'm pretty bad at interceptions.

I finally decided to buckle down and do the New War quest over the weekend and I really enjoyed it. I liked all the different perspectives and switches to game play style, plus the lore and plot line were amazing. I finally understand what's going on in the game. But there were a few places I got stuck so I looked things up and saw how many posts there were by people complaining about the quest line and hating on it.

I found it to be pretty forgiving of an old(er) person whose reflexes, reaction time and visual processing are going to shit. The boss fights weren't that bad, really. Since I solo and haven't gotten anywhere near the kind of strength I see the Steel Path folks putting out when I'm grouped with them during Circuit, the purported tediousness folks were complaining about was just par for the course for how I usually do boss fights: run around like a chicken on fire and get off a shot or two occasionally until it's over. The four hours the quest is supposed to take was more like nine hours for me but all in all it wasn't too bad and I was able to finish it in time for Circuit.

Then I hopped into Kahl's Garrison and the first mission I got was Sneaky Sabotage and that was a bit of a slog because I didn't know WTF was going on and the deacons were everywhere. I did finish it, barely. I did the next one yesterday night and did much better. I like the different game mode and having to adapt to different rules of play. But again, I saw tons of people complaining about it during various web searches. I didn't see anyone talking about how they enjoyed either of those scenarios.

Surely there are other people out there that like some or all of this content? Or am I just the weirdo who's about to be downvoted to oblivion?
