Poverty. It’s honestly something I don’t wish upon my worst enemy and the fact I’ve seen so much shit due to it, it’s something I can never get back and now will have to endlessly live with the pain until the day I literally die.
A lot of folks would recommend Ubuntu as a start but it’s very bloated af so starting on Linux Mint or Zorin/Elementary OS (if you want a windows/macos experience in your distro) would be a great start imo
Not allowing to go to the toilet whilst in your lessons and only during break/lunch time.
This was such an issue since needing a toilet is a natural thing and it’s not something we can control/control for very long and it’s very bad if we do so, yet teachers would literally send out detentions/warnings if we even attempted, which was so idiotic of itself.
The reason we couldn’t use the toilet whilst we were in our lesson, was cuz to the teachers, they though it was an excuse for us to skip lessons, which already caused many ppl inc myself to immediately lose trust in our teachers and therefore internalise our problems, which was a huge case at my secondary school.
I hid so much shit from people at the time cuz of teachers behaviour like this but also didn’t help that coming from a toxic household, just made things ten times worse due to it.
I understand banning something that’s basically super unhealthy and has direct links to cancer but at the same time, ppl have been smoking and consuming drugs/alcohol for centuries and by stopping ppl from doing it, it’s basically gonna encourage a new generation to try it.
If they’re gonna start banning things like this, then maybe they should also ban alcohol and talcum powder too since they also have links to cancer as well.
Things like this, ppl should be taught about the effects of drugs/cigarettes/alcohol in a safe environment, not just ban things cuz the law says otherwise. You can’t have a black/white approach to those things.
Propertiary software esp iMessage and other apps I rely on atm, has kinda prevented me from moving to fully android. I have started to use Linux on my laptop permanently though.
If these shitheads actually go to jail, it’s prob be one of best days to come tbh. Less misogyny and stupid indoctrination to young people esp young impressionable teenage boys.
Yeah, one of his relatives is a psychiatrist/psychologist I think and she also said, he’s a narcissist too so I think it adds up with the consistencies tbh.
The fucking irony lol, considering that Trumps political campaign was the direct link to the Cambridge Analytica scandal and Trump fucking enabled it, alongside having Russian interference in the election LOL
Because they’re not answering my support queries, and I’ve been having connectivity issues since the last two versions or so. Most of the time they’ve been pretty good, but if their desktop client can’t sync to their servers it’s of no use to me. Is anyone else having this problem?...
Yeah frrr tbh. Like their competitors offer more services in comparison and automatic encryption that doesn’t force you to use a password everytime you want to encrypt your mail etc.
Heard the admins on there are very ban-ready on there and basically defederate anyone they consider “bad” despite not actually being problematic themselves.
As someone who was severely bullied at school and seen those cunts get to the top of the food chain, esp those that do nursing and psychiatry/psychology related fields, can’t say I’m surprised at that and it will always bother me until the day I die cuz they truly don’t deserve it at all.

This is so interesting. I definitely invest in this as an alternative to “vegan” leather and real leather. Never been a real fan of vegan leather because of how the material is just not comfy at all and therefore tends to stick to you when your feeling hot etc but also how this is far more of an ethical choice in comparison to current “vegan leather” and leather in general.
You could have literally moved to mbin (which is literally a fork of kbin) but yeah sure, continue to let spez have more money and sell data to ai corpos
It honestly scares me how Thailand is slowly becoming an authoritarian government over the years and as some one who has relatives over there, and knowing how much they hate the current king, since he’s hardly in the country cuz he’s too busy paying thousands in five star hotels to have endless orgies with his many gfs to even give a fuck about the consequences and how shit life is there atm (unless your white)
It’s honestly just upsetting, esp as freedom of speech has been so severely restricted with the changes the previous gov (military junta) has made over the years, and killing opponents of the king/government. Just absolutely scary tbh.
