Yeah, I worked at Walmart for a bit and we were taught to look out for weird situations with gift cards and politely ask what the customer's plan was. If we thought they were getting scammed, we'd get our manager involved to talk to them

Woke up with my stomach in knots, figured I ate something bad the previous day. Texted my work group chat and let them know that I would be useless if I showed up, and explained that I think I ate something bad for dinner. They said something along the lines of "no worries, but you're still gonna have to come in to at least grab the paperwork for staying home for a day." Annoyed, I got a ride to work and went to go do the formalities and explained that my boss had already given me the go ahead to stay home, I just needed the paperwork. First guy I talked to had no issue just writing it up and sending me on my way, but when he stepped away for a second I got asked some questions by one of his coworkers who told me "we have to give you a check up first to determine if you actually have to stay home." She checked my stomach for pain and listened to it make some noises, then decided I was just constipated and gave me something to drink to help. First guy still wrote the paperwork up for me, and I got to go home, stomach in even worse situation and I spent nearly 2 hours on the toilet before I felt safe enough to go lay down and slept the rest of the day away.

(And yes I'm well aware that it's atypical to get a checkup by your workplace, this was a weird and terrible place to work. Glad I got outta there.)

You'll have to use the PC to interact with things, this is where a lot of people suggest a cheap Bluetooth keyboard with a track pad, or keyboard and mouse.

Assuming you're using a modern TV, it functions just like a monitor for a computer. A mini PC is the same as a desktop/laptop, just in a little box. So basically you just plug the mini PC in with an HDMI to the TV, install the apps you need on the mini PC and you're good to go

Honestly, it seems like you probably shouldn't be wasting your time with this woman.

Man you were giving great advice until you suddenly decided that people in the porn industry are incapable of love and only use sex as a weapon. Sex workers are human beings.

Dayta - it comes from the Latin word Datum which is pronounced day tum. At least that's what my middle school science teacher would tell us

Yeah, the mod key is my best friend with Sway, I literally can't avoid using it

I agree with you. If I have anything to give when I see someone in need, I give it to them. Not because I have some grand sense of purpose or anything. I do it because it makes me feel warm inside, it puts me in a better mood for the whole day knowing that someone else's life is now a little easier because of me. Does that change the fact that I've made someone's life a little easier?

Similarly, my partner - going through a divorce - was having a really rough time. Had some loud arguments with their now ex husband and got scrutiny from all of the neighbors for being so loud and emotional. Except for one, a woman who had been in his shoes and came over to offer emotional support, resources, and a friendship. That woman no doubt saved his life

My partner and I stopped into a liquor store down the street, and he asked for a specific drink he likes. They said "we don't carry that, do you live nearby?" We told em we were just up the hill and the mfer ordered them on the spot so they could stock it for us

Pretty sure KDE connect can handle this, but I haven't played with the notifications portion of it much
