This reminded me, sorta unrelated but the ff14 community is incredibly ableist when it comes to gameplay. Don't you dare mention combat macros cause they'll all start screeching at you. Never mind that you have arthritis and carpal tunnel and just want to play without much pain from spamming.

Even the wow community wasn't bad at this, plenty of sites and people willing to help, iirc they even helped a quadriplegic play wow.

Don't forget to properly socialize her with peers. I have friends who were formally homeschooled and it fucked them up socially for a while. Game clubs might help.

I agree with you, I usually tell relatives to call their isp and scream at them. It's usually stuff I could probably help with but if the isp gets more hell they might change for the better.

But using his own term against him is always best.

That's why both of your signatures are usually on the paperwork.

As someone who was single and looking on dating apps a year ago I wish they did. Would have made my job easier since I don't want kids and not everyone puts that on there. I was extremely upfront about being a loser gamer (I play league) that doesn't want kids. You'd be surprised about the amount of people who still contacted me based on looks alone and didn't bother to read the bio.

I was extremely upfront cause I know who I am and what I want and I'm not hiding it. Take me or leave me. Turns out It worked and I found my fiancee that way.

It's funny that they keep repeating to the bot that it should be Impartial but also straight up tell it exactly what to think and what conspiracies are right and how it should answer to all the bigoted things they believe in. Great jobs on that impartiality.

This was back in the day but I remember Pandora being good at discovery. There's cracked apks you can get so you don't get ads.

50 sounds like a steal for a handful of hours and a local that knows what's up.

Not just reduce the barrier but also stop these companies form buying up all the houses. If someone can dictate how much rent we pay then the problem will never truly be solved. These companies can afford to just sit on an empty property while it just gains value over time, they don't have an incentive to reduce prices to get people in. The incentives should be punishments not gains for these companies. It's the only real way to fix stuff.

They're not smart enough it figure out anything not mainstream. I heard most of the big sites blocked recently were live TV feed sites.
