Yup, they never figured me out either.. Ads are annoying and stupid and thinking about how much resources are poured into them and how much everyone's time is wasted makes me angry.

I must admit I don't know the situation well but I feel like "immunity from child emotional abuse claims" is not the right move. This feels like a symptom of much wider problems. Parents work way too much, kids spend too much time in school, too much revolves around being "productive". Parents can't parent much but they feel the pressure to provide their kids with best possible future.. Much is left to the teachers who probably need to do parenting work too without necessary time and tools. So they suffer, because kids suffer because parents suffer.

It can take a few years to process after a long relationship.. give yourself time. Also, I've seen people find the love of their life in their 60s and 70s. There's no rush in that front either =)

Yup, I've started avoiding gaming forums, mostly stopped following news/rumors and hype trains and I've become "patient gamer". As a result, I pay much less for games and enjoy more the ones I get.

I wanted physical books out of something that was only available as PDFs. So instead of going the sensible route I bought a color laser printer, learnt how to bind books, bought tools and materials, made a simple book binding press and made my own books.

this plus:

1. For many companies the majority of operating expenses are related to employees, so they will try to resist raising wages, preferably cutting them and/or firing people (also, union busting)
2. Product quality will suffer
3. They'll try to skirt regulations and lobby to overturn them
4. In capitalism there's no such thing as enough when it comes to ROI so we go back to 6.

I don't need that powerful hardware.. it's the software side that's mostly lacking for me (as a software developer :)

Choir .. how would you spell it? Quier?

Umm, what makes you think that if they did exist they wouldn't also be explainable by science? Also, if you dig really deep into anything you'll find all kinds of fascinating stuff even if it's not supernatural.

Carry ice picks (more like ice awls) with you when you travel on ice. If you fall through ice turn back to the direction you came from and start breaking the ice with your elbows (no use trying to get up as long as the ice is so brittle you can easily break it), then drag yourself up and start rolling away from the hole and trace your steps back. Also, try to get rid of the wet clothes as soon as you can.

How to dress for -30C weather. How to get out if you fall through ice into water.

People challenging the seriousness of the climate change are saying "we will adapt and survive like we always have".. Yeah, our "adapt and survive" could look like that.
