The ethically correct way to use data collection is to the contract being explicitly opt-IN though. Zoom is providing the barest of minimums

I mean, at least FF allows that. Hardened FF is a blessing.

Have fun, I believe one of those will fit your needs just fine ✨

In their 40s at the current rate.

We already do therapy, both individually and together, and he has plenty of opportunity to talk with us. We encourage him to be constantly frank with us and we are frank with him. The fact we already provide those actually adds to the frustration since even then he doesn't show progress (even his therapist is sorta annoyed already). But I know it's something he has to outgrow on his own, for his own good.

About the other stuff, yeah, what I can do is power on through and talk with friends and family, even if to just vent. Thanks for the sympathy ✨

Both for gameplay and character designs. I don't know much about the plot or pull rates, so I'm not judging on that. BA's community also doesn't have the best image from the outside in regards to "character appeal preferences ", but I try to limit myself to what I can judge based on my own personal experience only.

You're welcome, hope you enjoy your new Linux, whichever you choose ✨

Currently on vacation, couldn't enjoy any of it.

  1. The kid's been lying to the whole family about using the (very expensive) medication for his skin condition. Also keeps lying about homework and just lazy around all day. We're fed up with him.
  2. Partner has been jobless for months, no signs of getting any new job yet and money's tight
  3. One of our cats got an inflammation on one of her teeth, and it's gonna be expensive
  4. One of mom's cat is in intensive care for possible hepatitis and pancreatitis. Also expensive as hell (and it comes from my pocket since mom needs financial help)
  5. Mom is in a very bad mental state after fighting with my sister and losing another of our cats earlier this year to diabetes. I worry constantly for her.
  6. I'm just a single ADHD person in my 30s having to care alone for a partner with depression, a mom with depression, lots of cats with 2 currently sick, and an ungrateful teen stepson.

"Things are tiresome" is an understatement. And also, the job's been annoying, but that's the least of the current woes. To everyone also struggling, let's stay strong together.

I'm okay with it, as long as it doesn't turn into the cesspool the same community "on the other site" was.

I guess harsh criticism of particular games are better served on their own communities instead of badmouthing them gratuitously for non-players.

As disclaimer for personal bias, I play Genshin and PGR (and I'm satisfied with both), and I'm not fond of games like Nikke and Blue Archive. Even then, I'd rather never shit on Nikke and BA, and have more nuanced discussions.
