Yeah, I'm not too concerned about that. Their courts are being attacked with so much that I'm pretty sure downloading a car isn't going to be high on their list.

Only a fool doesn't believe when some tells them their intentions and is surprised when it happens.

If I am wrong, I will be happy that I was prepared for the worst.

If you are wrong, your world will be crumbling because you don't want to imagine that you are wrong.

I hope you are right. At least I will be ready if you are wrong.

To test it, you could try rubbing the pad with a graphite pencil. Won't be as good or a permanent fix, but if it works then you will know what the problem is.

I replied to @[email protected], and you can find my reply here.

Here's the things that actually helped me:

  • Teachers/authority figures making me feel heard and valued. (From ECS to Highschool graduation, I had maybe 4 teachers who really went out of their way to help)
  • Fellow students who stood up/spoke up for me (I had a group of boys corner me in the washroom and start berating me and until I broke down and started crying. A boy, who I didn't even know his name, but was accqainted with came in and stood up to the group. I will never forget what he did.)
  • Friends
  • people going out of their way to make me feel welcome (when it happened I didn't know why they were being so nice to me.)

Things I think would have helped:

  • Knowing that it's okay to need help
  • someone telling me the things happening are not acceptable or normal

No idea what I was a part of, but it is special Ed adjacent.

I was forced into a program in Jr. High because I had behavior issues (of course nothing was done to the bullies and attackers, just the person retaliating). It was like a 3 week program where they analyzed you (poorly because I knew all their testing methods and was not cooperating), stuffed you in a corner, and told you do homework for the day and then an hour for phys-ed. I stopped doing the homework after a while and just started playing my GBA.

It was humiliating, but I will say, the kids removed from the their situations were actually really great people despite being labeled as trouble makers or problems.

Anyways, I changed schools, and then changed schools, then got expelled and changed schools again, and eventually I graduated highschool. I then attended university and completed two programs.

Now, over 20 years later, I am actively unpacking and working on these issues from school because I fell through the cracks and was actively punished for being a victim.

Where the credit card is considered a peripheral.

He reportedly turned down money to play for Ottawa. Speculation is he wanted a prominent role or opportunity to win, and maybe both.

Physical media!

I 100% own a copy. I don't have to hunt it down, pay a subscription, and my caveman brain can hold it and put it on a shelf, and that makes me happy.

You mean his SIXTH THEATRICAL INDIPENDENT FEATURE FILM?

No, probably not. I am not sure if it is playing in my city.

Personally, I feel Better Call Saul is better.

I wasn't going to watch it because I kind of hated Breaking Bad by the end because everyone I liked was gone. I turned BCS on randomly one day, gave it a couple episodes and realized I liked it.

BCS basically continued off where BB left off in style, writing, and ideas, and just continues on. There is just more likable characters through the show too.

Cruise is one of those actors who is good if the role is within his range. I think it's fair to say he is an okay actor at best, but AMAZiNG for choosing his roles.

Peter Falk, Edward G. Robinson, or Patrick McGuigan.

I'm not normally drawn to actors, but I could sit and watch these guys read the phone book, if they were alive and there were phone books still.
