If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • You’re obviously going to have doubts about the validity of your feelings under a roof with that much ignorance. People can be dismissive for many reasons, but I think language can sometimes be important. If you don’t exude confidence it tends to be treated as affirmation of your views not mattering.

    If you state plainly that you’re upset, you’d like some of their time, advice, and attention, and you still receive this type of response, it’s reasonable to write them off and lean on friends instead. Highly recommend therapy.







  • Well this is about providing value to their players, and the most out of pace thing they’ve ever done to set themselves apart in my opinion is releasing the Witcher 2 without DRM. This is also why GOG was created. They felt so confident at least at the time that they didn’t care if you pirated it, so long as if you like it that you’d pay for it eventually. Kinda a wild stance in today’s economy. And also one that hurt them, but did help their reputation.



  • I think the act of not accepting the phone call tells you everything about him. He isn’t interested in you for a reason he’s not proud of or he truly thinks nothing of you and is incredibly selfish. It’s normal to feel all of those ways about a perceived rejection, but in time you’ll easily see that anyone who sees no need to explain something about you to you is a crappy mate anyways.

    Just my suspicion is that he was actively pursuing more than just you and your hesitency was making the completion of your summary difficult for him. This could be misogyny about a perceived imbalance in power dynamics, but just keep in mind, again, that someone who feels chivalry is an important 2 way street on a literal first date isn’t trying that hard. You will find guys far more there for you; in presence, respect, empathy, and patience.

    The long term relationship switching to open to short sounds like he’s still tuning his wants and needs, and that’s personal to him. You’re only responsible for changing your bad decisions in the relationship, which honestly after 1 day there’s not much to analyze. Just be happy, as you will be eventually, that he didn’t waste more of your time in this earth hiding information from you the way he did by not accepting the call.







  • I disagree that pihole can’t be used in the instance of a laptop since you can still use it as a dns remotely, but an opendns account was effectively made for this purpose.

    Use commonly available white lists and blacklists for kids only content.

    Pihole also has built in monitoring for dns requests. I’ve never paid for opendns but it does too.

    Arris routers allow smtp data logs to also show direct IP interactions. I imagine lots of routers do. Using solarwinds software demos you can easily parse through them. You cannot control these requests non-locally, but I’d ask what you’re trying to look for if these requests are consistently made out of the house and are limited to IP only requests without dns. An app you don’t want them using? In that case reroute the apps known IPs to 127.0.0.1 locally and remove admin rights from the user. This will also lock them to opendns.

    Set rules for yourself about what constitutes a problem ahead of time. Snooping can lead to the bending of rules in search of something that’s not there. Internet traffic is rife with advertisers sideloading all sorts of dubious shit. The context of other IPs or hostnames connected to before and after is important when looking at log data.

    Edit: Easiest way around this is to install a USB nic. A domain and GPO is how corporations prevent this scenario with minimal user impact.
