I’ve worked retail, office jobs, call center jobs and warehouse jobs. I made an office ‘friend’ in two of those jobs. One who id grab drinks with outside of work and another who id chat to via text occasionally. But as our jobs changed and lives moved on. So did we.

I don’t feel the need to be forced into social situations, people are tiring and there’s better things I could spend my time on that being shoved into a room with co-works who I have no interest in talking to and have no interest in talking to me.

Both my best friends are long distance friends. I’ve known one for 13 years, we’ve met up once. And one for 9 years who I’ve never met in person. And they’re the best friends I’ve ever had. If they have issues, I’m right there via text or call to help. Same if I have issues. We send eachother gifts for birthdays/ Christmas, or just because. The 9 year friend and I do a book trade and recommend eachother things we think the other would like (not just book recommendations).

My partner and I have been together for almost 2 years now, we live in different countries. And it’s honestly the best relationship I’ve ever had. Not because of the distance, we visit eachother multiple times a year. But the distance also isn’t an issue.

So long distance friendships/ relationships can work.

Just because some people need that face to face interaction, doesn’t mean everyone else does. Especially when it’s forced by a workplace. If it was to meet up with a friend, I’m sure it would be more welcomed. But being made to meet up with co-workers who aren’t friends/ close with, that sounds miserable. Being made to do something you don’t want to do/ aren’t interested in is never fun. Ever try get a teenager to clean their room? Often not very high on their list because it’s something they don’t want to do. The same can be said for social events with co-workers for a lot of people.

It’s easier to hope someone will have information on an individual who’s is reported on. Someone might see the article and realise they saw her in a coffee shop with a man, looking very uneasy. And tip off police.

Whereas homelessness is a much harder thing to tackle. That requires government intervention rather than individual intervention from someone who saw something suspicious. And getting a government to care about homeless people is a huge ask.
I hate that we have a homelessness issue, and I hate that it’s not reported on much at all. Things should be in the public eye, in hopes that people wrote to their local rep to try get help.

But it’s more likely you’ll find a missing person (dead or alive) by posting an article than it is likely you’ll resolve homelessness.

Billy talent are great for political, fuck the government/ big corporations type songs. Not protest songs so much. But it feels pretty on theme. Their messages are great.
Surprise surprise and viking death march are two of my personal favourites songs by them.

You assume that because I play games that I’m a young boy?
I’m a woman in her 30s. Ive been playing games since I was 4. Ive played sega, Nintendo, playstation, Xbox and pc games. I also play d&d.
I play a wide range of games from Pokémon, Zelda, animal crossing to doom, overwatch, diablo, the dark pictures games, Alan wake, baldurs gate, mass effect, slay the spire.
I’m not playing due to corporate manipulation. I play because I want to play, because I enjoy engaging my brain and being able to focus on something fun. So please, continue to shit on things people enjoy instead of actually focusing on the things you enjoy.

I’m a die hard Nintendo fan. Been playing Nintendo since I was like 4.
Pokémon is one of my favourite gaming series ever.
However, I also play games that are basically Pokémon but with a different name. So long as there’s not actual copyright being broken, who cares? Pokémon is an insanely successful franchise, if other companies want to try using the idea for their games in hopes of success. Go for it! It’s fun seeing all the variants.
I get why people hate seeing their favourite game ‘ripped off’, but if Nintendo see it as an issue, they’ll deal with it themselves. People need to chill out, I’m pretty sure Nintendo are capable of fighting their own battles. It’s not like they’re a small company of 10 people who might of not seen the game.

It’s just cats being cats.
Not feeding them for however long to ‘train’ them is just cruel man.
My cat shouts at me when it’s food time. Randomly through the day. When she wants attention. Another cat shouts at me when she wants attention. And all four shout when it’s food time.

If you can’t deal with cats being cats. Don’t have a cat.

Oh man, you’ve got sooo much to go! It’s great. I love that whole starting area. It’s so much fun.

My second play through was a wood elf bard. She was pretty fun to play. Considering I’m a barbarian player usually. First play through was a half orc barbarian, she was really cool.

I’m in my third play through of it. It’s such an amazing game, so many emotions and amazing storylines.

Where are you up to?

Me and my partner were playing overwatch, the other team had a roadhog who was tearing through us and constantly typing ‘ez’.
So me and my partner switched characters to counter, you know, as you’re supposed to.
Then we steamrolled that team and hog was then screeching ‘try hards!’
Like seriously dude. Take the L and just leave quietly. Or switch character to counter us?

Yeah, it’s a bit grindy. I will say that much. And their tutorial isn’t the best. But once you figure out what you’re doing, it’s a pretty chill game. I’m really enjoying it.
I love stardew and animal crossing.

I’m also waaaaay into baldurs gate 3 right now too. Me and my partner are on our third run through, probably starting the fourth soon. It’s sooo good. I cannot recommend that game enough.

Palia has been out on the switch for a month already. It’s pretty fun!

Haha. No kidding. That’s one heck of an episode for sure!

Cats can also have litters to multiple males. My cat snuck out during lock down, before I could get her sterilised. And had a little of two grey cats (same as her and the cat I saw her near) and a black and white tuxedo cat (also another colour way of cat that hung around my garden.)
It’s interesting to see all the variations of kitties when they have kittens!

I worked for them a few years ago.
Try using a browser, if that doesn’t work, clear the cache and cookies and try again. If it still doesn’t work, try a different browser (the one they’d usually recommend was Firefox). If that doesn’t work, customer service should be able to remove it for you.

The system is dumb, the security system is automated and did weird shit at times. One of the error codes in the document we had was labelled as ‘WTF happened?’
So yeah. PayPal are kinda wang sometimes.

I worked for them. I’ve seen their list of error code reasons. Literally one of the error codes you could get was labelled as ‘WTF happened?’ on the list.
‘Too many buckets’ was another one, that one made me laugh tbh.
But they literally have like a 12+ page document of error codes and what they mean. The system is pretty buggy.
But generally our solution was, clear cache and cookies or try a different browser. It 75% of the time worked. If that didn’t work, customer service could remove cards for you.

Brand loyalty is stupid.
How dare you mention leaving windows. I use windows!

Yes… Brand loyalty is stupid. So maybe look in that mirror before commenting dude.

Go check out his profile. There’s more on there. :)

That’s exactly what it is, control and surveillance. They don’t like that the public have stuff that isn’t accessable. I wonder if they’ll complain when they realise it’ll be harder for them to hide their shadiness if they get rid of E2EE. Then again, they know they’re shady, so it feels like a case of, we’re shady so you must be too. So now we want to see everything you do so we can watch and control you better.

It’s not about the children, governments pull the children or terrorism card because people see those words and don’t think to look deeper, cause if you go against the policy you must hate children and want the country to burn!
