Windows deleted all my files that weren't even in one drive this week when one drive had a melt down and killed itself. I stared in disbelief, thanked the heavens I just backed all that shit up recently, laughed, and installed Linux. Didn't even bother to see if I could recover anything. I've been meaning to switch for a long time and just haven't. Windows made it pretty fucking easy.

Insanity that word should even think to need location services. Wtf Microsoft, clippy would never.

I miss 7. But my nastalgia lies with 2000

Dude I was playing Grounded (the original not the second) last week and my computer was so hot it was insane. I used to play that on my 6 year old laptop with no issues 3 year old gaming desktop shouldn't struggle. In fact about a year ago it didn't struggle. At all. Windows is just garbage.

Lol hi it's me

I'm assuming you don't have this option or you wouldn't be asking but just in case it fits for use case and you didn't think of it already. Some credit card companies allow you to do virtual cards with your existing card. I know citi does (giant pain in the ass to find though) and I think discover does.

Obviously if your use case means you don't want your name attached to it, this won't work.

It's funny because my town just posted an article saying a bunch of people got scammed by fake ones already.

I mean some of us hate grass so much we started a huge reddit community about it that made it's way too lemmy.

As a polite reminder there's a map of these cameras and if you see a camera not on the map, you can add it.

She's doing a beach clean up tomorrow. She's invited everyone out to volunteer and ask her questions. It's a little far from me and I'm but in her district but, still considering attending just to see what's up.

Yup... Time to go back to graphene OS. Just been lazy about putting it on this phone.

I've gotten death threats, Reddit cares message, and all kinds of hate mail for saying my sub should stay restricted. And I only have 167k people subbed. It's intense

He literally did the same thing in Chicago last year. Claimed he got "dragged" by the car and that's why he shot. Video shows him running after the car so he can reach in and shoot him.

Is there like literally any positive news going on in the world right now or, is everything just competing for first place in the "things that are terrible" competition these days? Fuck.

Sorry mildly off topic just do frustrated. Feels like we can't have anything nice these days.

I knew who it was before I even read her name. I hope she wins and does good things.

God no. I got in so much debt with ADHD and no budget. Finding YNAB saved my ass and allowed me to buy a house right before it became impossible to do so. Now I won't pay YNABs insane prices but I still use the same methods.

But obviously I have ADHD so I've had to restart that budget many many times. I've forgotten about it multiple times over the last 13 years. But I'm finally consistent with it. I check it when I'm going to make a big purchase, I know my general what I need weekly, and I fully review it every pay day (or you know, 2 days later shhh).

I probably wouldn't quit my job because I like it. I probably wouldn't even tell many people I had that much money. My only debt is my mortgage so that would be gone. I'd probably buy a better house with an actual yard. Sell this house to my roommate for dirt cheap. (There's no way he'd just take it)

Probably do some lying that my brother won some kind of raffle and give him a bunch of racecar parts. Shit maybe even sponsor a race team or two, gotta get the young kids back in the sport as all the old guys retire.

I'd probably buy some land in another area, give myself a vacation house. But this wouldn't be immediate. Probably get a new car, mines pretty old. Build a greenhouse on my new property, have way too many rescue animals. Maybe even run a small rescue.

All this is assuming I've already set myself up for retirement and I'm good to go with everything else.

I just wonder if all the anti Lemmy posts I've seen have been Reddit employees

This is a copy paste of my Reddit post if it reads a little funny lol The website they're referencing can be found here.

I believe in science, I also practice witchcraft. Do I think anything I'm gonna make is going to help me? I mean, yeah due to legit science. But I also know when to go to a real doctor. Do I think runes and tarot cards can tell me the future? Not necessarily but I view it as more of a, it's already in my head it's just helping me spell it out type of thing.

I have no idea your age but, a lot of people dabble in witchcraft in their teens and early 20s and never come back to it. If I did my math right I've been practicing for 16 years. I've never used it as an excuse to not get mental health help, I've never used it as an excuse to not go to a doctor, and I've never forced my beliefs on others (which is more than some people in some religions can say).

I'm not saying your friend won't use religion as an excuse to not do normal things but, I think you should take some time to look at things from another perspective. It's really not much different than those who believe in an all powerful sky daddy. Not only that but, witchcraft can be secular as well.
