No biggie. I never had subscriptions. I always thought it was a waste of money.

Oh fun! When Americans lose their healthcare I expect these kind of stories to rise.

Of course he has his own phone. Let me guess, it randomly charges your account and you can’t cancel the plan?

I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.

… so now they’re linking to the deleted comments? Lol I guess they do need the users…

You cannot control other people. And as I said, bouandry setting with others is a case by case situation. The next step would be to limit your interaction with them - this could be from changing your routine to something more drastic like changing jobs/going no contact.

Check in with yourself during/after interactions and explore your feelings/thoughts that came up. If you experience negative emotions after an interaction, ask yourself why. Did they say or do something that made you feel uncomfortable - ie: being controlling or physically being too close. Keep a list of this and update it. This will tell you what kind of boundaries you need to set and which people violate those boundaries. Then you can decide how you want to set the boundary - the boundary could be imposed on you (ie: you leave the room), the boundary could be imposed on the other person (ie: you tell them how you feel and tell them the consequences). The latter really depends on the kind of relationship you have with the other person.

The only way Christian’s know they’re doing good is when they’re being persecuted. So they do things to create conflict, and they get confirmation bias.

They see it as a vulnerability they can exploit to get what they want. This is a reminder to use strong boundaries. You can be kind but also strong.

Apple fans. Spotify fans. Same shit.

It doesn’t always agree with me. We’re in an impasse about mentoring. I keep telling it I’m not interested, it keeps telling me that given my traits i will be but I’m just not ready yet.

lol I can’t believe grown ass adults believe this shit. I’m surprised most people dont start questioning this after they learn about Santa clause.

You get 89 cents in the settlement. Do you prefer to get a direct deposit or a check?

When the world was on the up and up, some people were doing that. Now fewer and fewer people have kids - even those who want them.

It’s so condescending when people do that. They don’t know you yet make generalized assumptions. If you never wanted kids you won’t want them - the responsibility won’t decrease, the cost won’t decrease, you won’t have more time to spend with them to parent them. Nothing will change.

Ditto. And they keep pumping up Linux and refusing to accept that not everyone is tech savvy.

Oh right yt has ads. I keep forgetting.

It’s always a good time. Wirh these things you never know.

Yeah. How very predictable. At this point if I hear a loud Christian, I just assume they’re doing something really awful.

I’m not sure you can. I think boundary setting is important and also contributing to causes you care about. It’s the difference between things you can control and things you can’t, and letting go of the things you can’t control.
