I certainly never consciously met someone who would sell me illegal-for-adults drugs as a kid.

Sorry to tell you this, but you weren’t one of the cool kids then. People either didn’t like you, or thought you were a snitch, if you’ve never at the very least been offered weed as a kid

Only 1 physical Sim slot is fine, as long as there are 2 modems. In Germany at least you pretty much need to have two different Sim cards from 2 different networks to have good coverage in rural areas

I think you have zero clue how easy it is for children to buy hard drugs

So you’ve never seen an underage person smoke? Kids already ignore the law and get cigarettes from adults or stores that don’t bother checking their ID, so it’s not even a hypothetical, it’s just reality. Prohibition doesn’t work

I thought like, canonically, avada kedavra fucks up your soul or whatever everytime you use it and it slowly corrupts you or something

Are you referring to how Voldemort split his soul to create the Horcruxes? The books only specify that a murder is needed to split the soul, not that the murder needs to be done using the killing curse

I mean, this isn’t really a new thing, they did the same with Paul Walker for Fast and Furious

Now imagine having home servers, (legal) weed grow tents, and and EV

if you let your body adjust to daily riding your resting energy use will go down

No, that’s just a lie. The only way you’re gonna significantly reduce your BMR from daily bike riding is if you were a fatty and lost weight due to it, but a diet would accomplish the same job. If an untrained person starts commuting daily with their bike the exact opposite will happen, they will grow more muscles in their calves and quads, which will significantly increase the amount of calories they passively burn, and that’s on top of the energy you burn while riding the bicycle.

You don’t need to make up bullshit to justify commuting with a bicycle, it will absolutely increase the amount of calories you will need to eat, but that’s a low price to pay for the money you save not commuting with a car, let alone the health benefits

Yeah, ebikes are significantly more economical and ecological. The human body is very inefficient at converting calories into kinetic energy, and producing 1kcal of food has a much worse CO2 output than even burning 1kcal worth of coal. Even if you follow a vegan diet

It still beats driving a car by a long shot though

Oh, I definitely know I’m not a profitable customer for them. My home electricity bill for my NAS is already a multiple of my Backblaze subscription

I have a 190TB NAS, and Backblaze is $99 for unlimited. At least it was until now

They are saying they had the keys in their pocket when driving their car to the airport, and left them in their pocket when their wife drove the car back home

This would increase my yearly cost from $99 to over 10k

Your ex got scammed

Paperbacks are also just much less comfortable to hold

But the article isn’t about India

Yes, I am well aware. I just know that lovebombing can also be seen, like in this greentext, as a deliberate manipulation tactic (and often probably is). My original comment was just meant to show the other side, that it isn’t always a manipulation attempt. And I’m absolutely not saying they are in the wrong for being weary of it.

I am childfree, and it’s very hard in my country to find women that also never want children, so I get overly excited when I find one that is willing to go on a date with me. I have learned to tone it down

I mean, thank you for your advice, but I’ve been dating for quite a while now so I already learned I have to tone it down. It just feels frustrating having to pretend I’m less interested than I actually am, when I’m usually a person that hates being dishonest

A lot of time. Still waiting for M4 support and it looks like it will take a couple more years

The lovebombing accusation is what gets me. Sorry for being lonely and easily getting infatuated on the rare occasion I get to date someone 😭

Edit: For clarification, I am just saying that “lovebombing” doesn’t necessarily have to be an intentional manipulation tactic. I am not saying it’s not a reason for concern
