I feel the same way about grocery store club cards. “Let us vacuum up your buying habits to sell to information brokers while simultaneously ripping off everybody that doesn’t use a card.”

Contact your county health & human services agency. Medicaid might be able to help, I don’t think Medicare will.
No, it’s not safe at all. You should be disposing of that battery immediately.
People know the difference between fantasy and reality. Unless someone’s questionable anyway I don’t think pretending to be evil will change someone. People play violent video games and don’t tend to go out and shoot up their neighborhoods. Same thing.
Good for you for listening, and good luck.
I’m speaking as a woman who’s been hit on at work. We’re paid to be nice to the customers and too many customers take it as some sort of come-on. It’s uncomfortable to be put in that position and you should be thinking of her comfort at her place of business above your own desires if you’re really into her.
I personally don’t think this is a thing. Acting is pretending. I used to LARP an evil character but it was all just role-playing. Being able to use one’s imagination and walk in another’s shoes (evil or not) doesn’t change who you are as a person. It just makes you a good actor.
It’s not appropriate to ask a woman out when she’s working. Service staff get hit on all day and they’re just trying to work.
You can slip her your number if she shows up at your place of business and leave the ball in her court though. If she doesn’t contact you then there’s your answer.
Fun fact: in enthusiast circles they’re known as skinny pigs.
Warframe is free to play and nothing is locked behind money. it’s got a really steep learning curve but pushing past it is well worth it.
Well, now she knows he’s not worth the trouble of the first date.
If you post something public, people can access it. Corporations can access it. It’s one of the reasons I ditched all my social media that identified me directly. They can scrape my stuff, sure; but they won’t be able to link it to my actual name, face or existence in real life.
They can do it anyway, without threads being in the mix at all. Unfortunately the only way to be sure no corporation can scrape your data is to not be on the internet at all.
I’m on Mastodon, Lemmy and kbin and I’m 58.
I don’t know what kind of person he really is, but I do know that there are tons of scammers that pretend to be him and are ripping off young folks. So your boys should be super careful around him and alleged giveaways.
I’ll be 59 this year and have been gaming since Pong. They’ll pry my controller from my cold, dead fingers. Also, I’m a woman as is the circle I play with, who are also all older women (45+). We do exist and couldn’t give a fuck about what society thinks about it.
Better gaming than just being a potato watching TV every spare minute with no other outlet.
Gaming’s been shown to help prevent dementia because it keeps the brain active.
Consider that the women that you’ve been trying to date that don’t appreciate gaming just aren’t the right partner for you.
I did once because the driver completely ignored my delivery instructions and I called to cancel the tip. They refunded it immediately.
Our building has a problem with theft, which I noted in my instructions, and they left the order in the lobby despite my clear warning to the contrary.
