Never go to a place because it’s popular, if you wouldn’t go there if nobody else was there, you probably won’t enjoy it when other people are there.

If you have a deep and strong interest in a place or a thing, it’s great to visit no matter what. Low season might be better

Don’t eat a entire box of thin mints.

Inform their family, depending on how nice the local police are - ask them to do a wellness check.

For your personal mental well being, I would recommend going low contact with a suicidal person, they will drag you into their drama and pull you down.

I genuinely think they are. Look at how they frame their question, they didn’t say they were on the verge of suicide at this moment, they just implied it heavily. That is a tactic to manipulate people and conversations. So I think their assessment is accurate.

I know you’re being extremely sarcastic. But identifying you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Knowing you are a way that you don’t like being, is great, now you can form a plan on improving it.

Let’s take the easy example, if you know you’re a very negative person always putting people down. You can deliberately try to find something nice to say everyday. Maybe not a lot, maybe it won’t change the trend, but being more mindful and having an objective is a way to improve. So yes flip the switch. The switch will be very rusty, it’ll require a lot of elbow grease, and you’re probably going to have to wiggle it a bunch. But flip the switch, because you want to flip the switch.

If you just decide, I’m an asshole and there’s nothing I can do about it, then you’re just going to be an asshole. But if you’re trying to be a reformed asshole, you’re an asshole with a heart of gold

If you don’t want to be an emotional abuser, and you’re aware that you are, why not change your behavior?

Immediately and constantly apply updates.

Very, very, rarely have I ever had to roll anything back. Newpipe I rolled back once.

• MacOS - Minor changes Number.minor I update ASAP, Major Changes Number+1.1… I wait until Number+1.3… Apple has a history of breaking the ecosystem on major changes, give them a month or two to sort it out

Here is a good how to for wireguard. Most commercial VPNs let you connect directly with wireguard.

Basically crate the interface in your clearnet namespace and then move it to your vpn namespace

Water is not actually touching my skin, due to the nuclear forces…

My body is interacting with the water through magnetic fields

That’s why I mix it with the ground beef. I honestly can’t tell I’m eating any liver at all

Dumbass here gets it!

Same. Voyager doesn’t show it, I’ll do my best, but I’m not going to feel bad when I miss

GeForce now?

Liver and ground beef in a skillet.

Easy post workout meal, easy to clean, only minutes to cook.

Nobody I know would eat liver

I posted early, so i get sorted to the bottom by new. I had too much text so many people won’t read it. If I wanted lots of karma I’d have a one or two sentence pithy zinger.

I tried to be accurate and complete, yet I still got downvoted! haha, that’s lemmy for you.

It’s clickbait. The fact that the clickbait is demeaning is incidental. They’re maximizing whatever sensational clickbait title they can get. At least their heart isn’t intentionally evil, just incidentally evil.

They could be purchased en mass at a discount. The corporate gift card as a gift, might only cost 70%, and have a rebate if it’s never used. Depending on your jurisdiction it may not count as income either, reducing HR burden. So it makes financial sense.

They’re often sold at a discount to retail customers, to lock them in, a bet that they won’t actually use it versus utility somebody gets from a discount. Just like mailing coupon/rebates

It is one of the more practical off-ramps for crypto, you can buy gift cards with crypto, then use those gift cards for real world needs.

In the domain of gifts, if somebody has a spending problem, or a dependency problem, and you want to make sure they buy something in a certain vertical, locked in money as a gift card to make sense. If you give a drunk $50, they’re going to buy alcohol. If you give them a $50 gift card to bed bath & beyond, they might actually use it to improve their house

It can also be a form of virtue signaling, a $50 gift card to the air and space museum, or the science museum… Is both a gift of money, but an excuse to go to a new place and do a new thing.
