WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I'm not trying to harp on the issue here as that never helps. It's just that the people who tend to not want to eveny acknowledge the issue are typically those whose privileges offer them the choice.

Freedom is always relative. No one is 100% free. Even those in privilege who think they are, aren't.

This is true about freedom and privilege.

As for the story, hm.
 
Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

If absence does make the heart grow fonder, there might be a problem. I miss one day and I realized that I was thinking of my friend. This is a lot and lately, I'm debating if I should say anything. Please note that when I say, "say anything", I mean just in a general sense. I don't expect anything to come out of it.

A part of me wants to let him know for his own sake, take the time to process what happens there and then move on.

Looks like this may be the usual "Samsung update broke **** again" bit. Sigh.
Maybe I got it fixed now!?

This is the thing as consumers I don't like. Most of us have become lazy and accept half assed software support while spending increasing sums of money on flashy hardware.

I've always liked the idea of having a close friend from the opposite gender. When do right, it's very healthy. My work wife fits that bill for me.

The problem is that it takes a certain level of maturity to handle that. Some people want friends with a sexual component to their setup but don't want for ask for that. Some people just want simple friends but because people are so used to the underhanded way of getting friends with a sexual component are very wary of it.

When people just cannot be grown up enough to ask for what they want and deal with the consequences of their request...
 
Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Basically its because we moved house, and we're staying temporarily with my inlaws. They subscribed to different satellite TV packages which I'm not keen on watching.

I love watching football & movies, I can get my fix of English football & HBO thru streaming services on the laptop.... not ideal, but do-able. Other family members started to watch more stuff on their laptops/surface. So we finally decided to ditch the TV subscription.

If we we need to see something on a big screen, the HDMI or the MSFT wireless display adaptor are options. but its a hassle to set up so I havent tried it lately.

Ah, that makes sense. Sounds like this is working out for you all.

I believe that this is a thing, as you said, when done right. Otherwise, this can be very sticky and messy.

Sadly, it does come down to what you said. At this point, I don't know what to expect if I do this (I really can't tell how he feels) but I'm working towards being strong enough to accept either outcome.

That'd all you can do. Once you're comfortable with either outcome, then you'll be fine.

Had some good meals so far. See the eats thread for details. Mate 20 Pro camera is doing some nice work in auto mode.
