Yep I second this. I have gone NC with all my exes. Two wanted continued contact but that’s just not me and sometimes people ask me what they’re up to and I can happily respond I have NFI.
I’ve had migraines so yes. But also I had the ‘brain zap’ side-effects from antipsychotics too and that is very unnerving as it feels like an electric zap in your brain. It makes you wince and twitch.
I present Dual_EC_DRBG as a great example of “you can’t trust shit”
But also CPUs and motherboards may be compromised too. Whether it’s by China or the US… It’s a plausible thing. Intel IME and AMD Secure Processor amongst others…
In Australia I know a lot of people who vote purely based on how their parents voted. That includes people voting against their own interests and refuse to do any research that might change their minds…
In one case I found out they lied to me about why we broke up and the second she became a horrible, vindictive person after we broke up and started spreading lies and rumours about 6 month after we split. Originally both breakups were quite amicable and soured and they didn’t understand that that had quite a lot to do with my decision to 100% no contact.
I don’t think I’m 100% against it now that I think about it further. I just seem to have a history of dating people with an underlying hurtful streak and/or poor empathy…
Oh shit, I remember LiteStep and spending hours and hours to just fiddle with how my desktop looked. I personally felt Windows 2000 was the pinnacle of MS OSs (except so many games etc. wouldn’t run because rightly the OS reported it was Windows NT and a lot of games shat themselves at that)
Haha, I remember buying Mandrake Linux CDs… I’m a FreeBSD user these days (for the past 20-odd years) but still run KDE. Plus they’re still trying to remain fairly *nix agnostic which is nice.
Honestly, I’d like to double mine (to about $400-500k AUD pa) and only work 40% meaning I’d be on about 175-ish… and it’d be fine. Sadly I can’t see it happening any time soon.
Edit: I know I’m doing well, but I find work super draining and would love to work part-time.
