You can wheels within wheels this shit for eternity. Answer this question and you’ll have the answer. What do you want to do? Do that.
You can steal it, buy it, borrow it, whatever. Ultimately there is no objective right answer. If you think you’ll be better equipped to counter argue the message by reading it, I say that’s more honorable than arguing against it without knowing what it is.

How is HDR support? One of the only reasons I updated to Win 11 was Auto HDR features.

Eh you’re right, they would monetize the shit out of it and make it pay to win like everything else.

I wonder if there is a fragment of a good idea in there. Maybe a dating app that like queues up men and doesn’t let the next one out of the queue until the active person gets matched to someone.
Though that sounds pretty slow and not enough dopamine in using the app to keep people on it.
Maybe not a single man, but some small amount so it is known that you can’t just screen for the 1% of dream guys. Like it you only get 5 swipes, maybe you won’t be as ready to dismiss everyone immediately.
Whatever, I’m sure there are teams of psychologists working for all those companies that have all this crap dialed in for max profit and engagement.

That’s just self sabotage talking. Knowing about a problem is step one and it’s what gets you in the door.
Just because you know you’ve got a broken pipe doesn’t mean you don’t need a plumber, just because you know your car is broken doesn’t mean you don’t need a mechanic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with someone helping you being a job. That doesn’t mean they won’t do that job.
The main point of therapy is to get you to look at your circumstances in different ways and provide you with coping skills you may not necessarily have developed. You may even be unaware of whatever current maladaptive coping mechanisms you’ve built up over years of just trying to survive. This is where outside professional perspective comes in handy.
However! That’s not to say therapy is a bulletproof process or that all therapists are good or that every therapist is a good fit for every person. I would liken it to finding your preferred barber or massage therapist or something. Sometimes you just got to try options till something works.

Could be both! But yeah, I think humans are curious by nature and need to exercise their problem solving muscles, regardless of what topic of interest. An engineer will be solving problems using math and physics, but a musician or a poet will have their own problems to be solved in their respective areas using the tools of their crafts.

Life’s a hell of a trip man. I was 34 before getting diagnosed with ADHD, which made my entire life suddenly made sense. Oh, turns out I have narcolepsy too, and I’ve been punished for my sleep patterns and issues my entire childhood. Who knew narcolepsy isn’t necessarily how it’s portrayed in movies?

I think the highest I’ve heard someone claim their share price based on actual profitablity was around $100 or so, which is still far lower than current.

Do you know what the value should be considering it’s PE and whatnot? And whatever that is, is going to take a dive once the sales impacts are fully felt in the coming quarters. International sales are going to evaporate. Domestic probably as well. Prices going to increase from tariffs and supply chain issues. And competitors are making them look amateur in terms of build quality. Oh and Cyber Truck.

Quirk - a peculiar behavioral habit.
Ehh, I’d say it’s probably a poor fit for pedophilia. Maybe the actual act of sleeping with children could be considered a “quirk” but as a sexuality probably not.
But if you’re talking about a My Hero Academia reference, then it’s the shittiest ability I’ve heard of!

I too have ADHD and am impatient. Impatience is not an excuse for financial illiteracy. And a graduated income tax is not complicated. Deductions, credits, exceptions, etc are where it gets complicated. But if he thinks he’s losing money by making more money, then he’s stupid.
