I judge people who judge others for gatekeeping. God forbid I have a well informed and strong opinion based on experience. If I share that with a casual or new person then it’s now called gatekeeping.

It’s ok to have different opinions but not all opinions are equal, and if you’re a casual participant or new to a field/hobby/whatever your opinion doesn’t matter as much. Additionally, if you are discouraged and feel held back by strong opinions by others then maybe you should be kept out.

That was me up until my mid 20’s

What about 3 hours early in the night, say 11pm to 2am?

In a pinch I could, by pretending to be in a zoom meeting.

True, but I’ve found it is just as like to change things for the worse as the better. Waking up from a deep deep sleep after only an hour can leave me as a zombie for the whole day.

I ended up sleeping for maybe 20 minutes this time and it has worked out so far.

Nah I’m good

Great answer

It was legit the last time I bought a game from them, 10 years ago

It’s a general feeling of dread of the weekend ending and having to go back to work on Monday. Some people let it ruin their Sundays.

Thr scaries start for me once it gets close to noon and the day no longer feels young. The feeling that the day is lost merges with a similar feeling about life, which urges me to do something, anything, with my time.

That’s when I usually get a burst of productivity that lasts until it’s 5pm. The weekend is gone and it’s time to enter self care mode. That usually means good food and entertainment in one form or another. As it gets dark I’ll start trying to stop time with booze or a bit of weed as I indulge myself with sports or a movie.

I will often go to bed early so I can be all cozy and in a safe space to go down a wikipedia hole, read a book, listen to music and just veg in general.

Once the day is actually over the scaries usually have disappeared oddly enough.

Not one Israeli citizen wad injured in the ballistic missiles strikes.

Anything by Kiasmos. Also Chopin.

Anyone seen an explanation for this trend of useless and stupid censoring of words?

I hope the shutter sound was turned off

Maybe. The people who have always said 30 years were scientists and engineers. Those now saying 5 to 10 years are VC backed startups.

Progress is definitely being made but I’ll believe the optimists when I see the results.

That’s not catnip

They weren’t almost shut down by PayPal. Their account was frozen for a short period of time while PayPal figured out who the hell they were and why tens of thousands of dollars were being sent their way during the crowdfunding campaign. PayPal did their due diligence and then unfroze the account. Completely normal.

If wallet was really about keeping Proton safe from banks/PayPal messing with payments then why did they wait almost a decade? It doesn’t make sense to me.
