Good, stop using Discord to host your shit

Probably not. By the sounds of it, it's "just" traffic court... You'll be herded into a courtroom with a couple dozen others, and each of you will be called in turn to speak to the judge. Kinda like a pop quiz. You'll be told your charge and be asked a few questions. If you're polite and genuine you'll likely get off easy, since people LOVE to fight back and dig their hole deeper.

Back in high school I was in a similar situation, and basically got it completely dismissed because I was young and it was my first ever infraction.

IANAL

Because the little shits (affectionate) don't want to put them down when appropriate

Capitalism may hold us back in some regards but really helps in others.

The majority of people would likely be feudal peasants, working under a warmonger family that owns the sustaining land by force. No upward mobility except through bloodshed.

Good, can they go after gyms next?

‘I’ve worked here for a year already. It should be clear by now that I’m not a talkative person. This is a question I don’t want to answer. And I hope that you respect that.’

This won't be taken well at all and sounds incredibly assholish.

‘that I don’t talk doesn’t mean I hate you, it means I have nothing to say’ < I find it ludicrous even having to explain this.

Still kinda rude IMO

‘I don’t see what that has to do with the job’

Depending on the situation could also be rude.

‘I don’t talk about religion, politics or my private life with coworkers and I hope you respect that’

Yes, this is good. Firm and clear.

‘all right, I need time to unwind, which means today I’ll spend my pause somewhere else.’ and proceed to eat alone somewhere else. And if they pester yet again: ‘leave me alone’

How about just "Sorry, I don't feel like talking right now." except you say that every time like a broken record. They'll move on eventually since you never have anything to add.

That's horrifying. Why would a potential life-threatening device be controlled by a smartphone app? What functions could possibly not be handled on the pump itself and need to be offloaded? What FDA crook was paid off to allow such a stupid thing to hit the market?

I'll have you know that my liver is larger than most people's thumbs

I could have sworn there were a dozen A presses left, and it turns out there is: for 120 star. For anyone else wondering, this is 0x a press for any%

Literally just make ads less obnoxious, and/or make YouTube premium not stupidly expensive. That's all you fuckin have to do, YouTube, and you can cut a huge portion of the cat and mouse game.

VPN?

So... Match em? It's not "unfair" if you don't even bother to keep up

You'd think after the 3rd fried steamdeck they'd look to see if the problem is elsewhere

Maybe you'd feel differently if your country wasn't 90+% homogeneous with a light skin tone

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, it is your own tastes after all

You SHOULD expect legal advice, and your SHOULD seek it from a lawyer. Doing anything else can lead to serious consequences.

I've found more far-left shitposting here than anywhere else on the internet, which might be some people's cup of tea but I find incredibly obnoxious. I'm not even right-leaning. Glad I can block whole instances with the app I use at least

You have posted anti-party memes to American social media, -15,000,000 social credit. Your family will now be sent to Gulag.

Sooo I was kinda in your shoes a few months ago, and decided I really needed to do something about it before I lost my goddam mind. What I'm doing (and it's kinda working) is to find a community that interests you, and persistently be involved in it. I personally found a streamer on Twitch and a few Discord communities, and hang out with those people by generally just being there and having small interactions with others. We watch the same things and play the same games in voice chat. It really helps to have some sort of common activity that you can comment on and springboard your experiences or stories. You don't have to be that guy that's obnoxious and in everyone's face, just pay attention to the people in these groups and be super friendly. I've found a few acquaintances and am working on knowing them better to become friends. You'll remember names and interesting things about them, or be like me and take notes so you don't forget lmao. Eventually, they'll say "Hi It's nice to see you again. How was your day?" and then you know you're on the right track.

Socializing is hard, especially when you're not used to it and in this online era. If you're friendly and attentive, people will reflect that energy back to you, and you will form bonds. Good luck!

I guess I'm rare in that I like working in an office. My house is for relaxing and enjoying my time, so the few times I did WFH I really just want to curl up on the couch instead of work.

Nothing a pair of wire cutters can't fix

I personally like Thunder. Jerboa felt too limited for me.

Even if the opportunity presented itself, it's not necessarily the case that it would have come to fruition. Chances are that person wouldn't have bothered to make a video even with your request, because they were likely panicking about their stuck ring. I'd be happy that my advice helped the person out without pushing my luck to get a video out of it too.

Not in the US unfortunately, which is bullshit

Yours doesn't?

Of course battery technology improved, but the amount of news articles claiming XYZ will change technology forever outnumbers the actual number of innovations 100 to 1

"I wonder what people's opinions are, or of there's something more to learn about this topic!"

"Oh, there's nothing here..."

I mean that's kinda what it already is

I wish it were as easy to make money on stock prices going down as it is to make money on stock prices going up

I've heard the term used reffering the fetish about 3000x more than I've heard it used referring to a disability

There are no issues with the main Firefox branches for desktop and mobile, for the average user, not sure why you're so against them.

Legitimately, where did you see that Android isn't profitable?

By definition you're clean when you use it. If you hang it to dry it's perfectly fine to use more than once

Just like all other subjects in life, you'll be a lot happier if you stay away from news and tabloids

/s is commonly known as sarcasm

Aggressive words have lost all meaning. I'm pretty disappointed to see him not taking swings at anyone
