D) they're scared of Ukraine attacks and trying to minimise chances of them

Trash is subjective. Luanti can run on potatoes without an SSD. Worth a try: https://www.luanti.org/en/

Let's not pretend it was ever a force for good, just a force for capitalism.

Even right-wingers in the UK aren't this blasé about it. Murica is a very weird place where folk don't seem to get punished electorally for being an asshole.

The thing that bugs me is how selective the study is. The amount of dads that were broken, took their life or were not far from it, and to pick one small study focussing on how mums were negatively affected by it is galling. It's like studies on the impact of police discrimination faced by white men. Contextually an insane and insulting use of academic funding.

It'll be used to further rebalance the courts further away from shared parenting and the child's right to access both parents which is a UN right and Scandinavia does far better. The experience for fathers is traumatic.

I don't envy you. Keep going, and even when things look bleak, keep going. Things can turn out positive, even against the odds and even with the most biased CAFCASS staff. Not sure it's relevant to you, but I've heard Both Parents Matter (formerly Family's Need Fathers) is an excellent charity for support and advice.

I will say, not everyone can do academic studies. Some don't have the qualifications, or lifestyle situation or credibility to do anything that would be any more than an online blog and with far less impact. It is more than fair for someone to comment on the studies shared. Isn't that what this community is about?

Ha. UK now has tropical summers. It's insane. Hottest May / June days in like 40/50 years. Hard to deny. I remember when we had two days of sun without rain and that was the entirety of summer.

And dads too? Let's see that death rate for those who went through the family courts. That shit is brutal.

CAFCASS often take accusations from mums as truth without verification.

All because they throw it into b2b with teams and ado and windows and whatever other shit they call software.

Had the same problem on a chilli. In my experience, the chilli's/flowers were stunted.

Also, allow plants to dry between watering. Not too much, but plants don't like wet feet.

True and that is valid to many. I've done my fair share of personal sacrifice. It's more than reasonable to take a break to preserve your mental health.

Why would how I mentally process news have any effect on what others have done previously? The people fucking the world up hold that responsibility.

I could feel the weight of that flail around aimlessly, or end myself, but what is that going to achieve? Its just dumb. Wise folk pick their battles.

I just stopped following a lot of it. Even reputable places resort to hyperbole. I switched off for my own mental health. I still know what's going on. I do not discuss it on social media.

Ultimately, to handle the fact that things are going to shit, you either choose, despair, ignorance or indifference. The last was my choice.

The signal one suggests it's a phone OS hack that can open apps so could probably do threema too.

The article you shared suggested it's likely the result of lobbying by the company so they use a company inside the country.

Fossify photos is also good.

Ml will usually consider fresh moderation requests on unmodded communities. It can probably be recovered. You can always redirect users to active sub if not.

Fair and good to check.

Is the black a mould or damage? Are you watering when sun is not hottest? (It doesn't look like scorching). How frequently do you water? Is it over watered? Are the chilli OK or not produced yet?

Tbh, it worked really well on Linux. I played for 2 hours and... whispers in hushed tones... got bored. Please don't lynch me.

Unfortunately, you're wrong.

Nobody cares about your stuff. Some care about the quality of their work, but they're hard to find. Best approach is word of mouth. Find folk family, friends, neighbours recommend. If none, local Facebook groups are an option. Good trades folk come recommended by many.

Secondly, here in the UK, we never pay up front. Best way to lose your money. Why work 100% of a job for 40% of the money, when you can work 0% for 60% of the money.

Only exception is if expensive materials are needed. Usually you'd pay for that part up front if they're legit and you trust them, otherwise, they can order the mats from trade place and you can phone up and pay them. It isn't unreasonable to ask for an invoice. Massive jobs can be gated behind a 30% of money after x progrss, 40% after y progress and the rest on satisfactory conclusion. That way, they have incentive to work and finish. Only cowboys would usually demand most up front. How can you pay for something you didn't receive and they didn't earn?

Never offer more money for correct work, state clearly what you want, and how, and verify that is in price. Verify, and check done correctly. If you don't know correct way, ask someone who does or research / watch videos on YouTube etc.

You'll be less disappointed if you don't let people walk over you following some bullshit philosophy only you believe. Don't try to place unrealistic values on the world, understand how it works and learn how to operate within it.

We have no control over data retention or anonymity.

We grow organically. We barely get any reports. If we do, I'll block or add a comment why it's kept for transparency. Mod log is public.

If you think the approach needs adjusting, feel free to suggest what and why. Do remember I'm a volunteer though. Limited time.
