This reminds me of the time, in college, when a Christian fellowship leader gave us all a list of alternatives to sex, including

1. Passing chocolate from mouth to mouth
2. Naked wrestling…

Does it still count if there’s nothing left to shoot?

Oh. I don’t know anything about this. Is it weird for an app to be pulled from all of these sites? Do they have a way for the original developer to take it down if they want or some kind of flagging? Does your new phone have a higher Android build, maybe the site checks somehow to match with the right version and then fails? Wild guesses

But the fact that so many stores have dropped it recently, though it’s clear they once had it, may mean something, idk.

I’m not a therapist, so this is just a guess, but the “scared you off” comments and maybe the hints at depression could be seen as manipulative, especially when he really never wanted anything from the relationship beyond the online attention. He made her feel guilty for not spending more time and energy on him while exaggerating his own interest in her. Perhaps in his previous relationships the manipulation went further. Your friend needs to know she is not at all to blame for the end of this relationship. Nor is she dumb for caring about someone more than they cared about her: you can’t always tell. But perhaps she will take from it the idea that she could ask for things that are important to her, like in-person contact or space to be doing something other than talking to him without being nagged, sooner in the process to be sure the other person is on the same page. Help her understand that whatever anxiety she felt to shore up his emotions should be at most a small part of their interaction. A relationship shouldn’t feel like a tomagatchi pet.

It’s definitely a concern. The answer seems to be to have more of them, not necessarily wider, and to make sure there is cover and protective spaces along them for smaller animals. here’s one study from Canada

So true. This just allows you to give more of your money to a bank over your lifetime. People almost always end up spending as much as they possibly can on a house, usually because they’re in competition with a big cohort with similar income in any given area. This will just raise prices as people can get bigger loans.

As a current homeowner, I’m ok with prices going down if more owner-occupiers are actually getting into the market (and ending up as owners not just tenants to the bank). But as long as speculators and corporations can sweep in and steal the deals these lame policies just feel like more corruption.

I had the same thought. Like, I think Aurora is one of the most expensive ways to do this in AWS. But, since this particular set of data is so well-defined, and unlikely to change, roll your own is maybe not crazy. The transactions per second and size don’t seem that huge to me, so as things grow I imagine they can revisit this.

If nakedcapitalism.com censors themselves for money that’s their own problem.

They’re removing ads from the site based on content standards they have agreed to with the advertisers. They’re not censoring anything and have only notified you of the changes you would need to make if you want to keep their business. You are not owed revenue from Google or anyone else.

Is it a problem that so much of the Internet, including your site, “depends” on corporate advertising? Yes. Is that censorship? No. You are free to find your own sponsors.

I don’t know, but last month three people in my family, including one who is on immuno blockers, caught swine flu from 2009 (verified by PCR) and did have cold-like symptoms, but no hospitalization or other complications and no longer than a week. We got it tested because one sick person is non verbal and has a history of pneumonia, so whenever she gets a bad cough I take her to have someone listen to her lungs and this time they opted to test for the strain. I kind of wish we could do that more often as it’s very interesting to know and see these things come around. They all had this year’s flu vaccine, which every year includes some h1n1 variant, as had everyone else in the house who didn’t get sick at all. So anecdotally and unscientifically, I would say Spanish flu is not a threat, especially if you’ve been getting flu vaccines every year.

Try them with plain yogurt. Cuts the grease somehow and good for you.

I agree with you and one thing that really infuriates me is how stupid the Play store and Apple store have become (obviously for their own short term interest). By not enabling filtering by permissions and price model, data privacy, other concerns, they just repulse anyone with half a brain and make everyone’s experience so much shittier. What should feel premium feels like a cheap scam.

I’m my personal experience, I have to disagree. Keeping an app up to date with the os is not as ridiculous amount of time to need ongoing subscriptions at these prices as long as new users are still coming in. Even server resources don’t cost enough to justify $2/mo minimum from each user for most of these apps just serving a tiny amount of data like leaderboard or new puzzles. The problem is the stores take such huge cut every month so you can’t charge only what you really need. They don’t want to do micro transactions

I guess you’re just lucky :)

I’m pretty sure it’s the Eastern grey’s around the house. Not endangered in the slightest. [https://myodfw.com/wildlife-viewing/species/squirrels-chipmunks-and-marmots](Western grey squirrels have no brown color at all and are bigger. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one.)

I love this and have had similar thoughts in relation to my non verbal kid wanting to keep memories in a way they can point out different parts and link together multiple things to make new stories or comments or hypotheticals. Important to have the context and the parts and named things all relating together. I don’t know much about it, but there is a thing called “sidecar” file that can be associated with media. There are some moves to make EXIF data more standardized. So there’s a chance this could be done in an open format.
