That one word is doing a lot of heavy lifting on its own, until what follows contradicts what you’ve said. If you don’t have the words, a therapist’s questions and prompts and what-not aren’t really doing all that much to break the silence, nor to promote healing until you’re ready to participate.

BTDT. Having a routine is conditioning we do to ourselves, but for so much of life, its the most useful thing ever zfor so long as we can keep it up.* The trick is to not be further hurt by guilt for failing to continue with it or get back to it quickly enoug/“just so”.

… and/or aren’t planning to go. I would love to get through Bloomington, IN without seeing the location of every Liquor store dotting my navigation screen. Can’t be personalized, as I basically never visit Liquor stores.

“getting into bed together” and “careful who you get into bed with” are so old/common in the business world that its hard for me to relate to most of the comments on this one.

Even meeting the wife first in nothing new in the world of business or “high-society” contacts. The only thing new here is that he got his own bed and didn’t have to mention the couch or leave it even more vague.

… but I’m not here to sympathise with either of them?

I don’t disagree with your assessment per se, but ethics-wise I’m liking Chad, or anywhere else that actively takes in large numbers of immigrants/refugees.

I didn’t come here to criticize most countries like so, but when you hit the nail on the head like that …

That said, there are plenty of people who should be willing to all but sell their souls to get out, if they could only see and acknowlege what’s coming for them. I’m not here to tell anyone besides magats “get out of my country”, but if enough privileged people like me lead by example, maybe more will get the message.

Yes. Theirs remains a country worth defending, from a credible, external threat, and the bulk of the potential victims were both allowed to leave and given reasonable options for places to flee to at the outset.

Personally, I’m more worried about most of my friends and family being coerced/tricked to the wrong side than being victimized - merely being deported as a white person would be a win in this sick, sad, world. The contrast was literally the point of my comment.

I feel like this is more relatable than the reasons my family insists on staying on the US. All any “decent” people’s presence does is “legitimize” the regime and lull the victims and future conscripts into a false sense of security and hope, at this point.

Exactly. If your fucks are being wasted on being un-happy, stopping giving them. Can’t fix a problem with the resources, tools, and/or assistance available to you? Repeat after me: I don’t give a fuck about this right now, what else can I do?

Basically, if the app developers bother to maintain their own repository, there is no reason for other f-droid repositories to waste storage and bandwidth on duplicating them and constantly checking to be sure its the latest versions of those apps that have been copied. This is a feature, not a bug, in systems like f-droid.

That said, f-droid could stand to add a directory for known-good repositories, or listings for apps that pull from such repositories without requiring you or I to manually type in a url or scan a QR code, but end of the day, its free softwaree maintained by volunteers.

Many apps on Linux work the same way; However, in my experience, once you’ve downloaded and installed an application’s .deb, tar.gz, whatever, it will offer to add its repositories to your package manager’s sources, whereas on Android, once you install an .apk, it stays that version until you install a newer version manually or let the Play store or whatever over-write it.

Only use I ever had for USDC was as a buffer on Coinbase: a liquid middle ground between various crypto-currencies and fiat. I never had any use for it otherwise. Once Coinbase cancelled all their US debit cards, that use was no longer valid to me.

That said, the idea of any large organization relying on a stockpile of stable-coins seems every bit as insane to me as this author lays out. Nevermind the risks to economies at large, I straight-up fail to see the incentive for anyone to go along with this scheme.

Bye now.

You don’t know shit. My search turned up nothing more concrete than your own apeing of the plaintiff’s claims as though those were evidence, so I didn’t bother.

Meanwhile, the subject at hand quite literally revolves around Steam and Steam-Keys. We don’t even have to get into third-party distribution without Steam-Keys to disprove your argument, although that market also remains alive and well as ever.

The rest was just me matching your energy, but I’m not exaggerating when I say I should have just blocked your belligerent ass a while ago. You can’t be bothered to prove your own points, yet keep pretending to be the most “mature” and “focused” person here. It’s painful to watch the trolling this far off the rails.

You honestly think I didn’t do a google search before reading the two relavent articles reachable from the OP? Nothing I found, nor the fact that I regularly buy games/steam!keys cheaper than via steam, meshes with the plaintiff’s claims.

Telling others to act like grown-ups while accepting un-founded claims that happen to reflect your argument at face-value, how very mature of you.

The allegations of the plaintiff are not necessarilly the written or enforced policies of the defendant. Please consider linking something of substance when accusing others of being un-serious/insincere.

You made a claim without linking to it in the first place. Its not my job to substantiate your arguments.

Sure. Not being able to sell literal Steam keys on other platforms for less on other platforms for less according to the terms is the same as being prevented from selling on other platforms for less at all, nevermind that Valve gets a 0% cut on Steam Key Sales made like so.

Also, there is no mention of said policy in either the OP article, nor the separate article about the lawsuit it links to.

Steam does nothing to prevent running non-steam games on any platform. Charge 20-30% extra on Steam and call it done.
