Their cybersecurity is dogshit too. If the government can’t keep people from stealing your digital records, no fucking way that gimmeDNA.com is going to do a better job.

Brief and to the point. You got the Expedited Critical Info Only plan hahaha

I’ll be 100% honest with you, they’re probably more worried that you didn’t graduate high school while your beau is aiming to study law/medicine. Beyond that, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing plenty of perfectly normal, successful people whose parents-in-law hate them.

Please, trust me when I tell you that this is more about them than you, and that the sooner you stop granting their opinions value the better off you’ll be. You’re a businessman who loves and supports his parents, if they’re too stupid to understand that not everyone who’ll love their daughter is Dr. Sexy MD, they’re unlikely to pull their heads out of their asses anytime soon, and equally unlikely to be satisfied with their girl’s non-astronaut suitors. You work hard, run your own business, and love her, they should know better than to try and torpedo your relationship - many people can’t manage to do even one of the previous criteria. You need to make a decision about how much bullshit you’re willing to tolerate before moving forward, but I’d recommend you talk it over with her as she might have some unkind words for them, and it would probably go more smoothly if she’s the one who puts them in their place.

Unsure about “permanent ban”, but have only recreated a duplicate profile as a means to follow the same content without commenting or posting.

I hopped onto the Reddit train late in the game, partially because I was busy elsewhere, but also because of the kind of bullshit that I’d heard about which wound up being pretty accurate. Inter-subreddit feuding, mod omnipotence wielded without the sort of checks and balances or the discretion that it should be, etc. I’m a little annoyed, but not really all that put out given how little I valued it to begin with. It’s said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but there wasn’t even so much power to be had, some Mods were perfectly reasonable while others were practically bursting at the seams to fuck with users and jerk themselves off about it. I’ll settle for news, steam giveaways and smut, thank-you-very-much.

Keep it coming, I’m glad to get this kind of info both about Dolan and meritless censorship on Reddit.

Not so uncommon a situation as you might assume, there are plenty of shortstacks willing to work with the height discrepancy.

Don’t feel bad for being cute, you do you - which also may or may not be the dream of a woman 1+ ft. taller than you.

The Loosh Farm.

What is happening?

Stupid won. People all over the world are willingly shoveling shit into their faces as though they were trying to win a hotdog eating contest.

Just a bad habit for data entry that stuck from use of the old IBM keyboards. Somehow it felt better to shift my attention to the right-hand side instead of the standard layout and extending my hand to the keyboard’s top just below the F-keys. Everything I needed was right there on the right 1/4 of the keyboard…

No, the Shift key has uses other than for standard alphabet keys.

Sure, if I’m inputting data with the Numpad.

Sound habits, these. Except for the front-loader, and Oxiclean, it sounds like we’re on the same page. Aside from these strategies, I figure that the quality of the clothes, and having kept all synthetics out of my dresser/closet have helped to lengthen the life of my clothing as well.

Bingo. If anything, use of a burner phone will be purposely misconstrued as “suspicious”, and used as justification for more thorough screening.

“You just got it last week? That’s weird, we usually only hear drug smugglers using new phones. You’re not smuggling fentanyl, are you? OK, so you won’t mind if I take a look through your luggage to be sure, right? Maybe I should send you to secondary screening for an x-ray.”

Honestly at a loss here. The title references fabric softener, but the content relates more specifically to DIY laundry detergent while only mentioning that softener makes clothes more vulnerable to wear & tear. What’s the nitty-gritty on the fabric softener? Does it actually damage clothing in some way?

As geek analogy, is it like the subatomic bacteria that starts destroying the Klingon ship in Star Trek: the Next Generation S2E8’s “A Matter Of Honor”, or does it just make the material more susceptible to tearing?

There’s an “I didn’t break their teeth, jaw, nose, orbital, shoulders, elbows, hands, knees and feet. That was “someone’s” hired goons, and it was only because they “fell” down a flight of stairs.” overtly winking “I’m clearly in no way legally responsible.” sort of a vibe to this guy.

What’s the term… it’s on the tip of my tongue? Malicious incompetence? Knowing that you’re fucking up something, but not caring even in cases where its failure could have serious/life threatening consequences, and playing it off as a fluke, mistake, or silly misunderstanding?

It was the trite expressions that got blanketed after gaining popularity for me. Lookin’ at you, “fuck around find out/FAFO” 🙄

Mod impunity, brigading, bots, reposts, repost bots, banning of 3rd-party apps, abuse of suicide prevention system by bad actors. Aside from the forum-specific culture, the site’s frequent failure to upload/post comments, which sometimes resulted in 100% loss of more detailed responses, was incredibly disappointing (I’m still Ctr-C’ing all comments everywhere as a force of habit to guarantee it won’t happen 5+ times/day).
