Nobody here old enough to remember rules 30&31 of the Internet lol?

For the first systement, yes, there are a lot of women on the Internet nowadays. But there also are a lot of men pretending to be women, and a lot of creepy men, so I'm guessing a lot of women just don't mention it or pretend not to be one just to get some peace.

It all boils down to stereotypes, IMHO. Every time you're making such statements as "all X are Y" when talking about groups of people based on one criterion, you're stereotyping. Such broad generalizations are rarely useful outside humoristic tropes, and even then...

I kind of dismissed it as the project looks more or less dead on GH...

I'm not sure I see the scenario. If I gave you the key to my place then I murdered someone in it, are you accountable for any of it?

There's hopefully some context you're leaving out for the sake of privacy or something, but... Why would your ex consider a move to Europe for your work? I wouldn't even expect my wife to be 100% on board with uprooting her entire life to move halfway across the world.

Iiiinteresting. Will test that out. Thanks!

Edit: works great! Thank you so much.

I literally played Andromeda twice, I personally think it's probably the worst ME, but still a pretty decent game. It's literally been years, I don't remember nearly as much about this particular installment than the previous trilogy, didn't leave me as strong of an impression. I made an attempt at a joke. A common running gag when the game came out was to constantly casually mention Asari commandos, at least with the communities I interacted with.

Miranda IMHO gets more interesting with her ME2 loyalty mission and the time in ME3. The rest is indeed kind of bland.

Well damn. Interesting. Thanks!

And it works fine with multiple monitors at different scaling ratios, or does it scale them all the same? That's the actual part that didn't work correctly for me, back then.

The second Google bought them out should have been the moment you started to be on the lookout for a potential way out. It's unfortunately really on brand for them. There's not a lot that survives acquisition.

Whatever works for you haha. Admittedly, I'm the kind of guy that's running a 34" ultra wide + two 22" monitors on top, and is looking at replacing them with a single 42-43" 4k monitor right now just to have the equivalent of a bezelless 2x2 grid of 21" monitors lol. And they're all budget/business monitors. So I may not be a reference on display quality... I'm obsessed with having tons of things on screen at once. The ADHD object permanence issues ("out of sight, out of mind" is my default state) might have something to do with it...

I'll have to check it out again then, if display scaling got better since.

Yeah I had given up on the project and had settled on OpenBoard for now, but if/when the word suggestions ever land, I'll gladly jump over. I don't dislike OpenBoard per se, it's actually pretty decent, reminds me of older AOSP when it was a bit more naive, but I really miss swipe typing.

Some will still want to quit, but the extra steps might have the opposite effect of just not being able to stick to those self-inflicted constraints. I know all too well how it won't happen until you actually want to quit, I've since quit as well, but I know it wouldn't have worked for me, I'd have abandoned this plan in a matter of days, not so compatible with my usual ADHD scatterbrain. Too much organization.

Vapes, going down from 8mg to 0mg over a while, then eventually just having the habit left to drop, was what worked for me. YMMV, of course.
