I wanted to see my recommendations :{
Not rooted, or flashing a custom ROM, so I can’t delete the play store.
Also, my bank app wasn’t installing properly from Aurora. I don’t remember what the exact issue was, but it was too much of a hassle to figure out (or change banks)
But that second profile idea is smart
I should have done that

That’s awful. I’m sorry the local resources available to you are horrific. I’m sorry I sound like a fucking robot. I’m treading lightly. I’m not an expert. I don’t know what you or people reading this may be going through.
If the crisis line is going to send a psychopath with a gun to your home, do not ring that line.
There are international resources available that don’t dispatch armed units to your exact location. I haven’t used any of them, so I can’t vouch for them.
There is no one size fits all solution for a crisis. As I understand it, the main goal is just to get the person in crisis talking to another human being. Apparently that helps a lot.
It doesn’t have to be a crisis line. It could just be someone who might care.
Please go well, friend. I truly hope you have brighter days ahead.

Or the crisis line. You probably already know where to find it. Help is available. You do not have to suffer alone. I love you homie.

You’re not wrong, although I feel like the implication in this context was slightly more antagonistic.
i.e. “It’s only a matter of time before she leaves your sorry ass”

He’s not accusing televangelist fraudsters, war criminals, or deceptive, charismatic, powerful world leaders that threaten religious freedom.
Isn’t that him and his entire social circle?
if you asked a random person off the street:
hi which one of these people do you think is most likely the Antichrist:
- Greta Thunberg (Climate Activist)
- Eliezer Yudkowsky (AI researcher)
- Peter Thiel (Chairman of Palantir)
I’m going to guess most people will pick option 3.
I didn’t even know who Eliezer was, I just skimmed his Wikipedia page.
I’m an atheist, but hearing about a billionaire defense contractor who goes on rants about the antichrist makes me think “hmm maybe this dude is the Antichrist”.
It just reminds me too much of those super anti-paedophilia guys who make anti-paedophilia their entire personality and then turn out to have terabytes of CSAM on their laptop.
- Comment on What are they hoping to find there? 🤔 5 weeks ago:
I had a colleague from overseas looking to visit Soweto
I said something to the effect of “Brother why would you do that, don’t you have a family?”
But apparently there are legitimate tour programmes that go in there now. Super safe for visitors. I had no clue.
I mean, you still basically get robbed by the tour company, but if you’re used to dollars or euros, you probably won’t even notice.

- Comment on Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription? 2 months ago:
Call me cheap
homie that game is $70
You’re not cheap, you’re literally trying not to get robbed
You can buy a few dozen really good indie games for a fraction of that price
That urge to buy and play it ASAP is marketing doing its job.
Easier said than done, but if you really hate EA, your only choice is to eat the FOMO.
Otherwise, you’re feeding the beast.

- Comment on If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? 2 months ago:
Kick me in the brain stem if I’m on the wrong track, but I feel like it’s by design
In general,
Everyone hates public officials taking bribes
Everyone hates streaming services raising their subscription fees
Everyone hates advertisements
Everyone hates big pharma charging $1000 for a cancer treatment pill that costs 0.1c to manufacture
The throughline is obvious, but I feel most people just take a neutral or dismissive (and sometimes aggressive) stance if you bring it up.
It’s that cognitive dissonance that feels engineered.
I don’t know how to fix that. Admittedly, I still need to do more reading.
