When it's only one or two a month it's manageable, but now everything worth accessing is split over a dozen services. I gave the legal option a go and it became excessively expensive, so back to piracy. Both cheaper and more convenient.

From a place of freedom it looks like that, however the issue is more with those who enforce that kind of culture. That part is harder to get free from.

[–] smegger@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Ah. Yes cultural issues can be a challenge. Sounds like you've got somewhat limited freedom.

Maybe there's some other kind of commitment you can come up with? Or perhaps try to call in to the medical location you were considering to see if you can schedule something for a better time?

Hope you're able to find help

Oh and tell them you've got a medical appointment, they do not need to know what kind, just say you've been on a waiting list for a long time.

My first rule in life, look after yourself. You can't help others properly if you don't care for yourself.

If it's a choice between pissing off my parents because I leave when they want help, and missing medical help in a crowded system? I'd go for upsetting parents, they'll get over it.

Look after yourself, go get help. This is coming from someone (me) who has mental health issues. Your future self will thank you if you start the path of treatment sooner rather than later.

Hope you're feeling well now. Take care!

Ah man. Now I'm gonna have to pull out the ol red alert 2. The only game I've played where 10 hours just disappeared. Started just after breakfast and next thing I realise, everyone in the house is fast asleep and it's pitch black outside.

It's worth a play. I grabbed it on sale a while back. For sure worth this price

I do like that in my country, if there's an emergency, you don't need to think about it. You just get help without fear of being financially crippled for life.

I feel bad for Americans that you can't easily get medical help, even in emergencies.

I feel more and more justified about piracy every article I read about licensing and stuff just getting taken away after having paid good money for stuff

[–] smegger@aussie.zone 38 points 9 months ago

Only if they buy the argument that it's too difficult to explain what the hidden charges are for so they shouldn't have to.

[–] smegger@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

I guess when they're in a country where mass shootings happen frequently, they respond as if they're going to get shot at. Not that it justifies their actions all the time. Not even close. But the guy was sending reports knowing that the chances of someone getting harmed were high, that's pretty much pushes him into terrorism territory tbh.

I saw the trailer where she Hulk was twerking. Was enough to know the show was not for me.

Shows that are just gender swapped are lazy and boring
