Hell, even birthright citizens aren’t safe if they are perceived as non-white.

And metaphors are useful because it makes language a bit more digestible and accessible to people who understand those metaphors.

I wonder if OP is faceblind and has slight recognition but not completely.

Also adding a data point for Optery. I’m sure the other services are comparable, though. Most have free trials.

A lot of states don’t even care if you’ve only got so-so vision in one eye and are completely blind in the other. No stereopsis, no problem! Here’s a driver’s license. Good luck.

And how many are read?

Or… what if you do both…

And yet it’s a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG.

Seeing this after the Kat Abughazaleb post on the front page… lol.

Right! I never would’ve heard of it if not for a random comment on that other cursed site.

I’ve just been thinking of going back to Earthsea!

I will share and highly recommend this resource: Western Australia’s Centre for Clinical Interventions’s Self Help Resources. Of course, these are applicable to anyone, not just Australians. There are various pages for different types of conditions (anxiety, assertiveness, procrastinating, eating disorders, etc.), and most of them take you to self-directed workbooks you can fill out yourself. They’re not only informative, but they also guide you through your thinking about these issues and how to deal with them and grow from them.

Fair enough.

And why a Twitter account?

That is what I thought. And then I tried to replace the swollen battery on my old Surface Book 1. It’s already garbage, might as well try to replace the screen and battery, right? One punctured lithium ion battery later, I think that’s about the extent of my ‘trying to fix things’ adventure.

I’m very pro-repair and DIY and keeping things out of landfills, but at a certain point, the skills/mastery needed outweigh any benefits of trying to DIY/learn/etc. Sometimes it really is best left to the experts (or not at all, as in the case of the Surface Book).

Same, they told me I would need oral surgery and to break my jaw open. No thanks. Occasionally they twinge and hurt, but I suppose I haven’t died yet.

Not to mention protein from sources other than meat… quinoa, lentils, whole grains, etc.

Lysistrata, then.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be handy, unfortunately…

This sounds like a great one to follow up on after having recently started Murderbot, thanks!
