Ahhh thank you for the correction

I volunteered to mod and the admins didn’t contact me. So I thought they had enough people.

Ya America.

I was called that in high school and graduated in '97

In WA state, young inexperienced cougars attack bikers and runners.

Back in the 90s, they used to call us metrosexual or metro. Just because I didn’t want to look or smell like I work in a coal mine.

In some states you could be stalked by a cougar so you want your ears wide open.

They froze my entire account for 500usd. The rest of the 14500 was from other happy customers.

I use a regular bank for credit card services now and when there is something contested, it’s only for the charged amount that is held. Not my entire account.

Most small and medium businesses don’t have crypto. They use corporate P cards. So a business would call me if they launched something and the site tanked in sales. 2500 on their corporate card and their problem is fixed.

There is still a stigma for crypto.

I use my computer for gaming. Never a problem. Wine fails once in awhile. I end up having to dual boot and then spending all my time on the windows side. Then I wondered why I tried so hard to make fetch happen.

Story time: I have a side business selling web optimization services. UX, AB testing, etc.

I got busy and didn’t take my money immediately after completing a few projects and one of my clients complained to Paypal about my service. My account was immediately locked and it took me at least 3 months to get access back to my account.

They basically had 15k of my money, interest free for them to play with even tho the contested amount was $500. I ended up just eating the 500 just to get access to my account, even tho the client is still using the improvements I made to their site.

So ya, fuck Paypal. Fffuuuucccckkk PayPal.

I don’t use Linux or Apple. Just debloated Windows 11(Tiny 11).

I also don’t watch Star trek or even watch TV.

We are out here. Enjoy your stay.

The self hosted model has hard coded censored content.

Untrue, I downloaded the vanilla version and it’s hardcoded in.

That is a great idea.

I guess I see small talk as gateway questions to deeper conversations. I met me wife by asking about the weather.

What’s your favorite color? Do you like hot wheels? Perhaps our definition of small talk differs from others. To me it’s a starting point to get into deeper conversations.

You seem lovely on dates

How do you get married to someone if you never started with small talk?

Thanks for the video. I hadn’t seen it yet. Dude had a full Pikachu face.
