Depends on the neighborhood. A lot of people know everybody on their street. You will usually see the privacy fences in neighborhoods where the houses are very close together, and people in those neighborhoods are usually anti social. In rural areas it’s considered more of an eyesore to have privacy fences

Love me some dark forces

Yeah that’s what I meant to say. You’re right

Yes. Correct

I just want to point out that you own nothing in a digital store.

Lobby and demand Italian authorities crack down on the piracy because “were losing money!” Only to figure out there still losing money. I could have saved them a lot of time and money by advising them of this.

You could give Usenet a whirl. Eweka as a provider and an indexer like drunken slug. The usenet subreddit has a lot of indexers listed

I have pretty good luck with usenet and lidarr. That is if you have some decent indexers. I usually find flac rips fairly easily. I realize that’s not torrent and it probably doesn’t help you much but I thought I’d throw that out there

It’s exciting to rediscover the same game five times over and have to buy it every time!

And rightfully so

Sounds like AMD is game

Clear its default also and then next time you tap on a photo it should ask you which default app you want to use to open the pictures with. Just select always

Tap and hold the google photos app icon. Go to app info. Scroll down and go to open by default, and then clear default preferences

I miss the crazy Steve balmer days

Because they don’t make Jack shit on consumer licenses.

I love helping others. Especially my neighbors and loved ones. I realize I am fortunate. I don’t need a Lecture. I’m directing my comments towards people I can relate to. Obviously, I can’t relate to people that live in forced labor camps. I believe the majority of people commenting here are currently living in a “free” society and have had the same opportunities I’ve had.

We, as people, make choices everyday. Those choices have consequences. Good or bad. Life is weird. It’s like a stage. We can act all.we want. But really, all we want at the end of the day is clean water, good food and a loving family. If I lived in a tent or a shack, as long as I had that, I would be happy. I’m easy to please I guess

Ok. So why would I live my daily life with a guilt complex? Yes I realize I wasn’t born into a slave labor camp in North Korea. But why would I dwell on that? I’m focused on my current situation. And trying to make that better

Interesting. I used to have some involvement in a union. In fact, I was a regional VP for a huge union at one point and time. And while I agree with the union premise of organizing, I believe it’s an antiquated solution. The union I belonged to also delved a lot into social issues which I didn’t believe had any place in what I was fighting for…which was fair wages, decent working hours and getting the tools we needed for our jobs.

Instead they focused on social issues that had nothing to do with my work environment. They ran me out of that union. I used to be excited about going to meetings and getting people involved. They quickly showed me what their ulterior motives were. I figured out what the leader of that union was making. I saw how they wined and dined me at fancy dinners and hotels at Las Vegas hotels and casinos. I could see how they were grooming me. All they cared about was membership numbers. They don’t care how I signed them up. Tell these employees anything they wanted to hear. Sign that card.

Eventually, I had enough. I resigned my position and took an early retirement (I’m working in a different field now). Not a single one of them asked me why. Not a single one of them were sorry to see me go. Not a single one of them gave shit. I wasn’t useful to them anymore. I had a big influence on the workplace. They knew that and they exploited that. I do feel bad for the people I misled into signing up for that union that I believed in (brainwashed) at the time. Meanwhile I was being flown across the nation and being wined and dined on their dime.

So yes. While I believe organizing and pushing back on employers to make working environments better, I also believe that unions have become the very thing they claim to fight against.

I’m curious to know what your opinion is on unions today. Because in their current form, I don’t believe they are beneficial to everybody. We were actively told that if they weren’t with us then they are against us. I wanted to show the non union members.what we were capable of. However, I wasn’t able to due to holding this hostile attitude towards non members. Plus, we were not able to show any real progress. Basically just “sign up and you’ll see. Be in the club.”

I did mention it was anecdotal. My memory hasn’t failed me. Yet

😆 people like me? I’m arguing against it. I never believed that. Or told anybody that. I did the opposite.
