Yup. You knew what you were getting into. That, best case scenario from the child's pov, is going back to their real family. Always.

Yeah, we have a PS5 and keep considering trading it in for a second Xbox...

Yup slim is what I've been using for ages. I'm disappointed that recently I can no longer get messages in it, but I accept that. Just have to open a browser and login there. Sigh

If you aren't on the same server, encryption doesn't always work very well, and you semi-frequently end up with conversations where you can't read each other's messages. Id you try get signed out of your app on a given device, you'll likely lose past conversations. Etc. It's just... obnoxious.

And, you'd be wrong. Works don't lose their copyright just because they go out of print and are hard to find. Thanks to Disney, copyright survived for the length of the authors life plus 90 years.

Eh, I have a serious love-hate relationship with Matrix. For groups its fine. But trying to communicate with individuals on matrix is a major PITA, because of its end-to-end encryption which causes constant issues, IME. It's great, in theory. But, in practice is just far more of a PITA than its worth.

I feel like this is true. As much as it's 'allowed' to transition to be the opposite sex, it's still somehow not really ok for girls to just like to be outside and dirty and play sports or whatever. Wear whatever you want, and screw everyone else.

Yes. But remember to share!

Exactly. It's the hours that suck, depending on shift. Do you forever want to live life in 3rd shift? If you have kids, you'll rarely see them... You'll be asleep when they're awake and at work when they are.

It's just not ideal for most people.

I just dropped ours down to 2screens, for now..I still think we may well cancel fully. But, we'll see.

Women lost the right to abortion, because of the previous administrations actions and ability to install judges to the federal courts, at all levels, but specifically at the SCOTUS level. Though it alsorequired that cases make it through the federal courts too.

I don't think you understand what happens when your power goes out though. Yes your ac works great, when you have ac. The problem occurs, when you don't have power. And there's nowhere to go. When it's 110+ degrees, with 70%+ humidity, people start to die. Rapidly. It doesn't matter how 'acclimated' you are, the human body just can't take it.
