I tried it once or twice and it worked well. It’s too stupid now to be worth the attempt. The amount of time spent fixing its mistakes has resulted in net zero time savings.

Thanks, this was really interesting!

I’d say the first option is to simply talk to the mother and offer your help and paint it as a means of helping her out. Keeping the focus on the benefit to the mother and the benefit to the kid as secondary to keep her focused on how it would help her. Sympathize with her situation, she’ll be more amenable and that’s definitely the easiest way to get a constructive dialog going.

If that fails, involving CPS is still available as a fallback option but.0

OP is not saying that Google’s scrape still retains his reddit comments. He’s not referring to seeing this information on Google, but on Reddit.

He’s saying that reddit is retaining his comments and still serving those comments up when refreshed directly. They’re de-linked from his reddit account so he doesn’t see them through his reddit account, but the information is restored throughout the reddit site to be viewed.

+1 Casiopea is incredible.

That’s pretty dubious, otherwise why would I get all these replies from 3-7 years ago? Not new replies on dead threads, but the replies were posted that long ago, and I’m being notified about them now as “new” comments. Seems a lot like deleted posts coming back.

Hmm, may also possible that vendor/carrier versions of the app carry more ads. This would nevertheless still be an android problem because I don’t think Apple allows other companies to do that with their apps.

It’s possible the company itself needed to cut costs, maybe because they screwed up their budgeting. It’s not necessarily because of anything you did.

It looks bad, but try replicating it.

When I search two dots, I find exactly the matching app, with screenshot previews and details about it. I get only 1/4 of the screen as ad suggestions. The rest of the screen is related suggestions (non-ad suggestions). So about 3/4 is non-ads for me vs. 1/8th from the OP screenshot.

If I search something more generic like “card battle games”, I get a listing of about 7 games, with tags, and zero ads.

I think what’s shown in the OP is what remains after the user has already read the details and approved installing the app. Considering that this is the end of the user story, what else should be on that page?

Or maybe he’s got a different version of play store than me from A/B testing? Anyway, try it out yourself. I don’t have a problem with too many ads on playstore, my main issue is more that the good apps go to apple store first and only sometimes port to android because apple users are more lucrative.

Yeah, the simplistic “Just be yourself” advice doesn’t take into account the “If you don’t love me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best” type of attitude.

It also bypasses the fact that “yourself” is such a fuzzy concept anyway. So because I’m bad at public speaking, that shouldn’t mean I should “be myself” and avoid it. I should merely be aware of my current limitations. That was an accurate way to describe myself in the past, but instead of accepting it, I worked on it, forced myself into a job that requires it, and now I’m pretty good at it.

I think almost everyone can look back 10 years ago and think of some way they ended up changing. So with that being the case, who knows who we’ll be 10 years into the future? No need to anchor too hard on who we think we are right now, it’s valuable to also give consideration to the kind of person we want to be in the future and take action towards becoming that person.

Yes, just a lot less because theres no app for it, so I only check it from a desktop PC instead of constantly the way I have in the past.

Maybe it’s just me but the volume of interesting posts has fallen off a cliff after July 1st. The front page has much less activity and noticably more of it is reposts (which were there before, just a much higher ratio now).

The niche subreddits were always the key draw though, those still only exist on Reddit and nowhere else on the internet.

I heard somewhere that people on average will make 3 career changes during their lifetime. Which is not a hard fast rule of course but the point is to expect that your goals may change over time as you yourself will also likely change over time.

So in the meantime, I suggest pursuing stable work that gives you a comfortable standard living and maximizing the use of your free time to pursue enrichment in your life and not worrying too hard about trying to get satisfaction from your work.

Sure, it’s not my recipe, I just followed this guy’s recipe: https://youtu.be/l7RAaLZZDZI

I also like Jalalsalamfit on YouTube, he has good stuff too.

Ethan Cheblowski has a great channel, it’s not a health focused cooking channel but he’s an ex-fat person too so he tries to stay cognizant of macros in all the recipes he showcases. Good for learning the systems for cooking healthier. He has a video talking about the systems he applies : https://youtu.be/c1EpTfvPc84

Yeah it takes some more selective choices, but you can make some really good delicious and healthy meals. Certain kinds of foods like deep-fried butter sticks are out of the question but I’ve had a huge brick of cheesecake for breakfast everyday this week because I made it healthy. (21gCarb 3g Fat 41g protein)

Took a while but I changed my usual cooking recipes to macro-friendly versions and my family hasn’t minded at all, still tastes great. Trying to eat healthy outside the house is hard as hell though. Restaurants or premade foods rarely offer anything that fits my needs.

Like conceptually the hard part about eating burgers is the high carb buns and the excess fat in the meat. Can just use 93/7 ground beef, there’s only 170cal in a quarter pound, so why not double it? You just need to be much more careful when cooking it because the lower fat gives you less margin for error. Dress it with a spicy jalapeno cream sauce using Greek yogurt instead to bring back some of the moisture but without adding fat. Use something lower carb than potato roll or buttered brioche and you end up with a juicy burger with a lot more meat than what you’ll get from a restaurant and tastes better if you make it for yourself than some overworked line cook who doesn’t have to eat what he’s firing out the kitchen as fast as possible.

Yeah, it’s very relaxing stress release. I spend a lot of my day looking forward to my lifting between 10-11pm and thinking about what accessory work I’ll be able to get to do after my main lifts.

You can listen to podcasts, nobody is coming to ask you to do something and demand your attention, there’s no other chores to do during that hour.

It’s addicting too, feeds the same itch from video games leveling up, grinding in Diablo for that piece of loot that raises one stat by like 2% you get hungry for those little boosts and they stack up over time and you keep trying to optimize your loadout so you can squeeze out a little more performance from the build, same thing with lifting and trying to keep pushing to the next increase.

Some women’s libido goes down from the stress of seeing a lot of chores needing to be taken care of. Doing those chores reduced the stress. Going further and doing what is normally their share of housework can be an act of affection.

It’s also noted in a study of women asked to rate a number of pictures of men on various factors including attractiveness and reliability. When they are also asked for dating preferences, as the age range went up, the prioritization on reliability ratings also went up. Doing chores is reliable AF.

More to the point, she’s already told you she likes it. Just believe her.

The concern is a good bit higher than “possible” since they’ve just recently inflicted a large scale natural disaster to slow the Ukrainian offensive to retake their territory.

The Kakhovka dam was blown up by Russians because Ukraine doesn’t own the kinds of weapons that could destroy it from a distance even if they for some reason wanted to devastate their own land (they don’t).

Russia clearing out the plant staff and inspectors is highly suspect. If there was a major radiation leak, that too would have to come from manually placed demolitions…which is what they’ve been seeing.

For daily upkeep it’s best to clean as you go. Little tasks embedded in your other tasks. Like if I need to change my shirt, grab the laundry on the way and put it away before putting on that shirt. It saves 1 trip of walking along the way. Same principle as cooking, you clean as you go. Like you slice meats and start the browning…so turn around and clean the cutting board while you wait for it to brown.

For monthly upkeep we hire cleaners to go through the whole place for 200+25% tip. It definitely costs money, but saves on our time and sanity to not have to remember to do all these little cleaning tasks all over the house that just keep piling up until you “find” time to do it.

I have been playing this game for years. A20 on all characters. Bought it on 3 different platforms. I am still playing it daily, and I’m not sick of it.

Nothing wrong with mundane hobbies. Seems like a lot of people don’t even have mundane ones. Or if they do, they don’t talk about it much. Seems lonely doesn’t it? It feels that way for me. This thing you spend so much of your free time and enthusiasm on, but not many ways to share this enthusiasm with others.
