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.

I don’t do surveys of any kind. They aggregate so much data on me as it is, I don’t want to give them my opinions also.

Playing hypothetical games like this are poisonous to a relationship. My advice is to not do that kind of thing anymore.

Until and unless they break up these predatory property management companies, anything they do push through won’t be anywhere near enough.

Just a nitpick, that bird is not a parakeet. It’s a female eclectus parrot.

There are a number of parakeet species so referring to a bird as a parakeet isn’t specific. The most common parrot kept as pets are budgerigars, or budgies. Which is the one I think you were referring to.

Parrots being a special interest of mine I had to drop this on impulse.

Yes.

The day they stop trying to shove their own personal religious choices down everyone else’s throat and criminalizing what should be a woman’s own bodily autonomy is the day I stop feeling this way.

Too bad medical science can’t invent a killer virus that takes out right wing fundamentalists with pinpoint accuracy.

I feel the same way about grocery store club cards. “Let us vacuum up your buying habits to sell to information brokers while simultaneously ripping off everybody that doesn’t use a card.”

I’ve bought three versions of NMS over the years due to platform changes and at one point a snapped disc.

Hello Games also has other titles and they’re a small dev team. They’re an example of what game companies could do if they wanted to, rather than strangling the player base with microtransactions.

The capitalist oligarchy will never allow UBI. They want people desperate and starving so they’ll take any crumbs tossed their way.

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

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.

Get real. There’s no having a rational discussion, you’re not rational.

We’ve got a planet full of intelligent beings we’re busy killing off, so we’ve never been alone. We’re just too speciesist to accept their existence as our equals.

If there were aliens and they had any sense at all they’d quarantine our planet and never let us off it.

Oh, please. If they were really alien they wouldn’t have any DNA in common with us at all. And until samples of the “aliens” are provided to multiple scientists and labs across the globe for peer review, this is just horseshit wishful thinking.

The Addams Family.

Thank you. The other one had an emergency vet visit yesterday and I’m waiting nervously for her usual wake up time to see if she’s still alive.
