Some times but not most, like Windows. macOS is the same way thanks to its *nix underpinnings. I honestly can’t remember a time I ever reinstalled the system to fix a problem.

Healthy teeth have a lot to do with genetics too. I’m a once/day brushed (with a powered brush) and never flush unless something’s stuck in my teeth and I don’t get cavities or have other teeth and mouth problems. My wife brushes twice a day, flosses, and uses mouth wash, and has had 12 root canals, and has cavities 25% of the time she gets her cleanings done.

There are two other main differences between us. She loves sugar and I’d prefer anything salty. I’m sure this isn’t helping her and is helping me since sugar is our mouths’ enemy.

Damned powerful insight. I’m sure video games are much the same for many kids. It explains why they want to play them so often. They want to control the situation they’re in. I hadn’t thought of it that way before as my own connection with gaming started at Super Mario Bros on the NES in ‘85. My parents were (and still are) completely supportive but it still attracted me as a 4yr old too. I still like escaping and relaxing to video games and playing the, now retro, systems from my youth. Thanks for putting how you’re feeling about it into words. I can’t even remember what the OPs original post was about because yours is the highlight. Well done. Have a great holiday season!

Excellent answer!

Genetic testing basically puts a large amount of doubt on it though. More likely it wasn’t a hybrid than was.

I mean 2 Thessalonians 2 talks about this in the end times. Its prophetic.

2 Th 2:11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

You have to be a brain dead manager to approve a termination while someone is 1) on maternity leave or 2) had filed a worker’s comp claim recently. I mean, it’s asking for a lawsuit you can’t win.

If Brightspeed and GloFiber are fiber then them hands down. We have a local fiber provider in town and it’s rock solid.

If you aren’t uncomfortable you can’t change. But first you have to want to want it. You aren’t really living paycheck to paycheck if you have a healthy savings however, it may be time to move somewhere where you can afford to live for longer and enjoy your nursing career, it’s a noble one after all.

Making and keep friends / lovers is much harder especially if you’re successful financially and career wise. I’d try to find a hobby in the psychology world online. There’s plenty of like minds out there that share the passion. If you want true friends you need to let them not be perfect. Have a great deal of grace and humility with coworkers. Same with finding a mate, even more so.

Good luck, it sounds like you’re doing a lot of things a healthy way.

Getting enough sleep typically helps with this.

That’s a little more than $3/hr USD so safe to say you aren’t in the UK (as I was thinking). $2K/month is a LOT of money where you are. Well done!

Maybe come up with titles that are more compelling and can be played anywhere? If your competition is retro games you’ve done a shit job.

Was visiting my parents for their 50th anniversary and stumbled upon this gem from my youth. More below.
