jacking it with a bro!

normal? No, every normal school expirience ends like that.

Acceptable? Yes, every acceptable school expirience is pleasant

actually now that I think of it. this was a satire piece from when apple was about to reveal the first ipad, they literally said in a press release that it was going to be "a computer with no mouse and no keyboard" because they knew the media wouldn't stop talking about it. including the outlets that weren't paid to constantly talk about it

And contrary to popular belief the ipad was NOT the first tablet PC. The world's first tablet PC was made my microsoft in the mid 2000s and ran on windows XP nearly 10 years before the first ipad. and that windows tablet had twice as much ram, over 3 times the hard drive space, twice as many CPU cores as the first ipad that came out nearly a decade later

it's amazing what an ad campaign and a small percentage of incompetent windows technicians can do to public perception....actually that's not fair...There's plenty of idiots that think windows sucks just because they don't know how to use a computer and have the same problems on mac and linux they had on windows, because they're just stupid and it's because of that stupidity that microsoft hired the people in charge of developing windows now.

I had support from my family until I could support myself.

I have a really cool lamp right over here. It's called a "boog zipper" here, I'll turn it on for you.

I have pretty good insurance through my job. if my doctor says I need it I get it

Thanks for the nightmare fuel.

Mullvad is much friendlier to privacy, but their proxies get blocked by A LOT of stuff, they also have a very small number of proxies. Mullvad collects literally nothing about you, but that's a double edged sword. not having any way to verify exactly who paid money into which account number means they can't help you if someone steals your account. I also have it on good authority that mullvad isn't very reliable at getting past more aggressive censorship firewalls. the one in china for example won't allow you to use mullvad unless the sim you're connecting from is a US one.

Proton doesn't record anything you're doing with their VPN and they've had to prove that many times and their "sentinel" program and the 2FA and double password you can enable make it very hard if not impossible for someone to mootch off your account. I very rarely get blocked by anything when I use proton VPN, if I ever do get blocked I just have to change the proxy I'm on. I don't even have to change the location most of the time because proton VPN has a huge number of proxies at each location.

Proton also gives you the ability to save recovery phrases and recovery files if you lose your password(s) or your 2FA

ente auth and ageis auth are great for storing your 2FAs and they allow you to back them up to a file if your account with ente fails in some way or if you forget the password to get into your ageis

as for those recovery files and phrases I talked about. save them in text files on a small capacity flash drive that you don't use for anything else

I don't believe Elon is the richest man in the world. Whoever the richest person in the world is, common men and women wouldn't be allowed to know who that is

Also, citizens united just legalized the bribery, the bribery will still happen with or without it

Think about how many times the copyright nazis have tried to crack down on piracy and then imagine how much good that kind of effort could do if they set up sting operations to catch pedos

Anything to the effect of "this ring isn't expensive enough" is the only reason you need to never marry that person.
