I feel embarrassed to say this, but I straight up have to use reminders to go “hey, talk to X person” and set them up in advance. Because otherwise our chats will just be me going “happy birthday” or “happy new year” and that’s it for the year.

It’s not that my friends aren’t important to me, its just that it never occurs to me naturally to be the one reaching out. Can’t tell if I’m a bad friend or if I just have zero object permanence for people lmao

No?

I’ve never gotten shit from people for having a strong work/life balance and boundaries. Unless you’re being really dickish and combative when you’re communicating boundaries, most people are not going to give you grief about them.

Just installed it and woof, this is very good looking. I was waiting for K9 mail to get a few more updates before making it my daily driver, but this works really well already.

Also love an app with an FAQ that actually answers questions I’m thinking lol

I’m sorry that you’ve been mobbed for sharing this view. That’s shitty.

I feel like ableism, especially against people with intellectual and personality disability, is the one sphere where nobody seems to take the objections of the targeted group seriously, and simultaneously dismiss people speaking up for the targeted group for being “virtue signalers” or as whiners. So it’s like the only solution is to just not say anything.

(Tangential but I have similar feelings about people calling others narcissists and attacking them for it, though I don’t feel like that is going to change anytime soon. Still, if the person targeted is actually a narcissist, then I feel like it’s bad to attack them for a diagnosis and symptoms they have no control over. And if they aren’t actually a narcissist, then why further stigmatize people with narcissism? It’s more complicated than the r-slur since abuse by narcissists happens and victims shouldn’t feel restricted from sharing their experiences accurately, but similar in how it’s disproportionately used to disparage and nobody takes objections to that usage seriously.)

I thought thats what’s you’re supposed to do. Wrap the blade in the wax wrap it came in, then break it up by bending it in the wax before throwing it away in the trash (still in the wax).

They’re also useful for separating multiple lists when using a comma would make it look like an item is an extended list.

So let’s say I want to express:

"My contacts are:

• Jessica, Cook (as in a job title, not a name)

• James, MD (as in the professional certification, not the name ‘MD’)

• Doug, ABC (maybe to show that Doug works at ABC)"

If I said:

“My contacts are Jessica, Cook, James, MD, Doug, ABC.”

There’s no clear indication of what is a list member and what is a new list. But this:

“My contacts are Jessica, Cook; James, MD; Doug, ABC.”

is a bit clearer. (There are probably better examples but I’m shooting from the hip here lol)

Pretty much yes. The only one I’m not 100% on (besides the scout skin, since that was after I stopped playing) is the engineer prosthetic. I feel like that weapon came out a while after TF2 was made (but I can’t check that right now so don’t take my word for it).

Generally speaking, you will be asked to swear or affirm that you are going to tell the truth, and that you understand the consequences of not telling the truth. Whether you do a whole ceremony about it or not, it doesn’t really matter – but the court will want to know that you are competent to testify truthfully and that you know that you’re not allowed to testify to things you know aren’t true.

If you’re asking “can you be forced to testify?”, the answer is “Yes but it depends.” If you’re competent to testify and the officers of the court deem your testimony important, they can subpoena your testimony. If you have a reason to contest it, you can – but “I don’t want to” isn’t good enough.
