This is not a service I personally use, but I’ve thought about it: services like mysudo let you select and create new phone numbers. anonyome.com/individuals/mysudo-plans/
In your situation I might research and select a service like this. Then create a few disposable numbers. Give one to your trusted friends and family, another to employers and banks, etc, and the third to anyone else you need to contact.
Once you’ve transitioned everything important to the new numbers, get yourself a new phone number, and don’t give it to anyone. Maybe just your parents, for emergencies.
This has 2 downsides and 2 big advantages I can see.
Cons:
1, it cost you monthly. I think 3 numbers from mysudo is little $5 a month 2, it’s a pain to transition folks to your new number.
Pros:
1, if your stalker finds one of your new numbers, it’s easier to change the. 2, you can narrow down who it might be. Like, if you have a number dedicated to work contacts and the stalker starts texting it, you know they either are a coworker or got it from a coworker.
I think Google voice can also give you some free numbers, so look into that. Good luck!

Just as the guy dodging the moose, his little dog is jumping to attack it. Little dogs are hardcore

Turns out that eliminating 70% of all viable workers from employability creates job security for boring, cis men.
- Comment on I would celebrate more too, but I wouldn't defend the crime 4 weeks ago:
Exposure to violence is bad. Fostering a society where violence is commonplace, bad. Exporting violence to places and people unseen, all bad.
but I’m not really sure that illegal or extra-judicial killings are always wrong. Sometimes evil people are protected or above the law. If a Russian citizen shot Vladimir Putin dead tomorrow, I’d be happy with it. I’d be happy to see a sandy hook parent kill Alex Jones, if they could do it without consequence.
It’s not that I believe that murder should be legal, Nor do I believe in capital punishment. Institutional violence is bad for the reasons I listed earlier. But, a lone gunman shooting an evil man is not institutionalized violence.

I have to say after watching the videos, boo to the corpo for the weird exploitative lies, but kudos to the two women for staying in character! They legit put effort into moving like the real robots around them, and all while in what were probably uncomfortable costumes. I hope they get positive social media attention!

- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 4 months ago:
I’ve made a lot of IRL friends online and at work.
If you’re between jobs, consider doing something like Americorps. People of all ages do it, not just young folks, and its temporary. I think of it as summer camp for adults, but you get paid and in some cases housing.
Back in 2017 I was super into VR. IDK what the communities are like now, back then the demographics were older, but I got a big social fix from it. An oculus quest 2 or 3 is affordable. Almost all the best games are social, “face to face” talking. It’s like having a public arcade in your closet.
I made the most friends back in 2011 by posting art online and commenting on other artists’ things. People love chatting about their hard work. I ended up meeting loads of them in person. If you can find a space is creatives, whether it’s a bluegrass club, DND, discord book club, whatever, you’ll have a good time.
And, don’t beat yourself up about being lonely. Life moves in cycles. Remember, it just takes meeting one extrovert to suddenly gain a crap ton of friends. Or, maybe you’ll collect them one by one. Regardless, I feel you. Be well.

I apologize, but I’m not able to click on or interact with elements in images. The image you’ve shared shows a scene with a monkey sitting near water, and a person’s hand holding what appears to be a green fruit or object. The text at the top of the image says “HOW TO TRICK A MONKEY”. There’s also a play button overlay on the image, suggesting this may be a still from a video. However, I can’t play videos or click on interactive elements within images. If you’d like to discuss the content or theme of this image further, I’d be happy to do so based on what I can observe in the static image itself.

The whole premise of this meme is a bit silly. If there was a corpse floating near the beach, I think most people might wait for the corpse to be removed, and perhaps even a reasonable cause of death to be determined, before entering the local area. The same is true for pools.

I use virtual credit cards from privacy.com. for trials I set a $1 limit and forget about it. It’s pretty useful for legitimate subscriptions too, since I can pause or end them just by pausing the card.

Mario vs Rabbits is a surprisingly fun turn based tactics game. It’s something different gameplay wise from much of the switch library.
I saw someone mention Mario Odyssey. I hadn’t owned a Mario game since Mario 64, but I thought it was incredible! It’s just fun as all heck, and the surreal tone of the game kept me entertained. It has a bizarre mashup of “realistic” styles with the Mario universe. There isn’t co-op exactly, but one person can play as the hat, helping out. Just, don’t count it out because you aren’t hyped about Mario. It’s a quality game, and stands on its own merits.
