This isn’t the one I have, but something like this.

It really does irk me that they pretend their service makes the internet safer for their users.

They have a good product in their VPN+Meshnet, but it wouldn’t have nearly the broad appeal it does if they were honest about it.

Oh, it’s in Traverse City? Yeah I’d probably go insane if I lived up there, too. Shit’s wildly expensive and everyone’s conservative AF. Beautiful city though.

My parents’ conservative bubble of news has informed them that the starvation is because Hamas shoots at Palestinians who try to get aid.

(I told them, “Wow, so Hamas and the IDF have something in common?”)

Some of my friends and I in a D&D campaign managed to talk our way out of so many encounters, and heist our way through so many quests, that we started calling ourselves Ocean’s Five. It was some of the most fun I’ve had in that game, improving our way through heists and getting away with it.

Let me be a chainmail scrubber evangelist. These things are fantastic, like steel wool that doesn’t fall apart. Safe for most things (though I wouldn’t use it on non-stick cause you’ll ruin the teflon). Easy as hell to wash, cause it’s stainless steel.

Get you a stainless steel chainmail scrubber. Don’t use it on non-stick cause you’ll ruin the teflon coating, but on everything else it’s wonderful, like steel wool that doesn’t fall apart.

Something like this, although personally I prefer a more fine chain.

I can understand that you don’t have those in Canada, but there should be other options right? Maybe contact support?

I think you’re on the verge of understanding the problem. You’re so close. Just trust that the guy you’re replying to isn’t an idiot and you’ll finally understand.

Sure in the Netherlands you have options. But other places aren’t the Netherlands. Different countries have different options, but Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal work pretty much everywhere.

Edit: Completely unrelated, I’m munching on some licorice Mentos I found in the Dutch section of my local grocery store here in West Michigan, and I just want to thank the entire population of the Netherlands for the wonderful things y’all have done with licorice. No one likes it here, so no one bothered. But the variety your country comes up with for this stuff, it’s fantastic.

I use em dashes…I think it’s sad that a proper grammatical construct is so thoroughly ignored by most people that now it’s a sign of inhumanity.

Don’t you think it is a bit harsh to accuse people who doesn’t like musicals of being sociopaths?

That’s a wild misinterpretation of what I said.

There are plenty of reasons not to like musicals. The songs ruin immersion for some people, the format is cheesy, the acting is over the top, the plots are almost always formulaic. The description of them as “an empathy-based drug” doesn’t mean someone who doesn’t like them doesn’t experience empathy. It’s such a leap from what I said that I feel like you’d have to actively try to misunderstand me to get that.

It can happen to anyone, according to research. I can’t fathom the guilt someone must feel over such a horrific accident.

I’m sorry. I know everyone’s tastes are different, but I can’t help but feel kinda bad for people who don’t appreciate musicals. They’re like an empathy-based drug. “Here, experience some emotional highs and lows for a couple of hours.”

Adolphin, eldest son of Dolphinar, would never sport a Hitler mustache. It’s not fashionable.

Part of the deal included 50 new episodes.

I loved Descent: Freespace, but I liked X-Wing: Alliance better.

The difference between a billion dollars and a million dollars is about a billion dollars.

Everyone should see this if they haven’t already.

Counter-question, how can I make it clear I DO NOT want to be cold-approached by ANYONE while at the beach? Headphones, sunglasses, and my face in a book has not worked.

Have you considered not being attractive? Always worked well for me.

I can’t tell you how many people have found their spouse by singing in a local chorus (including me). If you can carry a tune and have a basic level of sight reading, find a volunteer choir. They always need more dudes and are always full of brilliant, talented women, many of them single.

As I said to my parents when they said something similar:

Not everyone is a 0 or 6 on the Kinsey scale. Plenty of people have some amount of choice. But not everyone is a 3, either. Most people have a preference. And some people are a 0 or 6. Just because one person with “gay temptations” successfully lived as a heterosexual doesn’t mean everyone can. The world is more complicated than that.

But of course in the Christian-sharia-law state of Tennessee, doctors can refuse patients if they don’t fit their values or whatever. A woman was refused prenatal care because she wasn’t married.
