That actually literally happened to my mom. Went months with a front door that wouldn't latch because they refused to repair it after the fact.

Long story short, building got struck by lightning and one of the units caught fire. Everyone evacuated. Billy Badass firefighter than proceeds to kick down my mom's door after she's already evacuated to make sure that the unit was unoccupied and that the fire hadn't spread. Her unit was on the for end of the building from the lightning strike and fire.

I know lots of firefighters, and most of them are authoritarian adrenaline junkies.

Sometimes, it's because they've lost the source code. Perfect example is Panzer Dragoon Saga. SEGA would love to remaster it, but the original source is gone, and it's apparently too financially risky to invest in rewriting from scratch.

Then why is the bill about DIVESTMENT of Tiktok from Chinese ownership? The operation headquarters are in Los Angeles and Singapore. I'm beginning to think you don't know what you're talking about.

You do know that the overwhelming majority of investment and control in TikTok is already based in the US, and the only Chinese national involved with the app was the creator who already cashed out and retired a long time ago?

I disagree with this on the basis that Christ explicitly teaches His followers to Love unconditionally, care for the vulnerable and needy, and makes an example of those who use the sanctity of the Temple for personal gain. People who call themselves "Christian" while very deliberately doing the exact opposite of the things Christ taught are very literally not "True Christians", because they do none of the things commanded of them by Christ. This differs from the "No True Scotsman" because there is a whole specific list of criteria differentiating a True Christian from a false one.

Learn to redefine "clean". You're not living in a museum. Things don't need to be pristine and dust free.

I picked a day of the week, in my case Saturday, and chose one area of the house to concentrate on. Dishes, laundry, and any other "infinite work" chores can become overwhelming quickly if they're not kept up on, so there are frequently days where that's the only house work that gets done.

The unpopular truth here is that if you value cleanliness enough for this to bother you, you probably should have considered this well before your third kid. Just do yourself a favor and never, ever resent your kids for their messes. I hope you find a way that works for you and maximizes your relationships with your children!

Dosbox works just fine on Android. No idea about iPhone.

Works great on Linux-based handhelds, too.

This conclusion has nothing to do with the internet. It comes from having to live with these people. It comes from having their vitriol literally screamed in my face. The internet is somehow more sane than the reality I have to live in most days.

Dude... try rural Illinois. The only internet I can get faster than 3mbps is cellular hotspot, and that's supposed to be 5G but is usually actually 4G out here. That's it. I can get dial-up, DSL, cable that is somehow slower than DSL and constantly disconnects, or hotspot from AT&T.

America is far from the best example of decent internet access if you live more than a few miles from a major urban hub. In fact, in rural areas, your options are not only stupidly limited, but also criminally expensive. For land-based internet at 3mbps where I live costs $6 more per month than my sister-in-law's GB Fiber 20 miles away, and has data caps to boot. It's insane.

Paul derailed the Church right out of the gate. Here's a guy who has had an absurd amount of control over the fate of Christianity who never met Christ, and who advocates principles that directly contradict Christ's own teachings while being very similar to the teaching of the Jewish temple Paul previously held power in as a Pharisee. Paul took Christ's teachings and merged them into a contemptible, incoherent hybrid of Christ's message and the Jewish law-focused faith, brought full circle back into a religious bureaucracy by the Roman Catholics.
