I remember my mother briefly being resistant to getting me a violent game at some point. She was not that motivated to moderate what games I bought though. And eventually she didn’t seem to mind anything I was playing.
In my opinon; if you let your kids watch rambo, you better allow them to play rambo.
Look at the scandinavian countries. Arguably the best example of how to do capitalism, regulation and socialism. Seems to work out for their citizens.
And plumbing, electricity, water.
Very few.
I generally don’t get a lot of fat left in my pan. But when there is some, I tend to use it for whatever I cook next. It’s good stuff.
I’m sure different aproaches are good for different people. This is just my thoughts on the matter.
First learn to like solitude and then be out there. Be available. The more you expose yourself, the more likely it is to happen. Don’t hunt for it, it’s generally not attractive. Sure, you don’t have to spend all your time with ‘taken’ people. But keep doing the things you like doing. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, whatever.
I feel lucky. My wife kinda droped on me where I was not expecting it. I was not looking and i’ve never been a ladies man. The fact that I was not looking and just enjoying myself was part of her atraction for me. Obviously we talked and found out that we have shared values and think alike, before anything romantic developed. Now we are married and we are each others best friends.
When I think about it; I find it fantastic that people find partners at all. You gotta share most of your values, be best friends, be sexually compatible and both be open to a relationship.
Cause trump has a little russian bird in his ear at all times.
Everything is made in china.
What happens if those are ever traped in the pattern buffer?
It’s a tradeoff, as you say. Use the platforms and services you are comfortable with. Sacrifice privacy/security for convenience where you must. Your needs; your choice. It’s really individual.
Consider running both untrusted and trusted applications concurrently, where the untrusted one cound run in a sandbox, for peace of mind. Drop it once you feel you don’t need it any more.
Self-censor in forums you don’t feel safe in.
Consider hanging out more in places with less surveilance, if you are not comfortable.
It’s kind of a question of reducing your foot print, not completely eliminating it. Unless you wanna be a hermit.
Yea, wait a while before you bring this up. No harm.
I had to think for a while.
Those luxury watches got to have huge margins. I imagine watch makers can probably eat the tariff and sell at the same consumer price in the US.
USA is emulating Russia and will be just as dysfunctional. China is at least producing results.
They should name this israeli colonel.
People are aiming to have kids at like 35 these days. This is the cutoff point, where pregnancy complications start getting more likely. Gotta get your life in order and get some stability. That may have been easier in the past.
If you choose Arch, you can say “I use Arch btw”, from time to time, in unrelated conversations. That is a plus and should be considered.
Take the initiative and reach out. He will apreciate that if he is also interested.
“Wanna hang out at my place tonight? I have snacks and movies.”
Give some forewarning so he has some time to hop in the shower and what not.
If he says yes, great. If he says “how about friday?” Great. If he says “nah”, oh well.
From your description I can’t tell if this is just about having sex and no more. Good luck though.
But doesn’t muslims also consider arabic to be the holy language and therefore the correct way and only way to refer to allah?
Wasn’t that iron cross awarded for bravery in battle or something. Doubt this guy is old enough for that.
