Just because you opted in, doesn't make their statement untrue.

The simplicity of use in the walled garden, caters to people who aren't techy. It's a huge reason for their success.

But just like "nontechy" people like my husband can use an android, "techy" people can opt into a system that caters to the opposite.

Us, never. Just like with China you can't win a land war over here, and a home attack has a greater risk of uniting is against a common enemy.

Taiwan possibly. Though I don't think so. Taiwan is much more useful as a political chess piece that China can beat their chests about. They can invoke the island and be offended about support for it whenever they need leverage right now.

Not to mention it isn't just the US alone that needs Taiwan and movement there risks a global response.

Cazadors are worse than deathclaws and I will die on that hill. In fact I did in that hill outside of Goodsprings more often than I care to count because those fuckers keep killing you even after they're dead.

I completely agree that you need to communicate. But that is outside the issue posed by the previous poster who said that it's too emotionally taxing to just listen when you want to problem solve. Their comment implies that the conversation has been had, they know their partner just needs to vent, but being the listener their partner needs will cause "compassion fatigue"

So I attempted to rephrase it so that the "rational problem solver" could satisfy their "need to problem solve in contradiction to what their partner needs" by presenting it in a way that listening, is in fact the solution, to the problem at hand.

The problem is 9 times out of 10, your problem solving won't help because they've already thought of the fix or you don't have enough of the nuance involved to offer a viable solution. So to insist on offering, means that your partner now has to balance your ego and how to tell you "yeah I know" or why your idea won't work.

Top the rational thinker, the problem is "I need to vent my emotions in a healthy manner" and the rational solution is "listen" and if the problem transitions from "I need to vent" to "I need help" then you can work on a solution together.

Do you know how many companies use just organic, and not "usda certified organic"

Most

Honestly, it's worth skipping season 7 if you do make it that far. The leviathan are one of the worst television plots in history imo. That said it gets pretty decent again for a few seasons.

Oh yeah. The videos are horrific imo

Many top loaders will lock at certain points in the wash. Most often during the spin cycle. A top load with an agitator is just begging to break an impatient child's arm.

She did world wide tours peddling her 5g magnetic crap. She's literally the source of that rumor and it is world wide.

Is she as notorious as Wakefield? No, but he's got 10 years on her in the bullshit arena.

Is it the most notable world event at the moment? Also no, but she is a global figure.

And this is what it is for me.

The customization on sync gets me so damn close to what I had with relay that I'm just happy.

I used others, but they were heavily inspired by Apollo and the customization to make them closer to my muscle memory wasn't there. I'm happy to pay a talented developer who can give me my preferred experience.

And I really don't get this raging choosing beggar entitlement to people labor for free

The 80s will always be 20 years ago. Y2k was ten years ago, the 2010s didn't happen and we're both old.
