I like destroying accounts from time to time. Prevents becoming attached, identifying you with your comments, flushes your permanent record, etc.

Besides, it’s a pain in the ass and you might get banned so you end up working fewer hours for the website.

People with careers are getting cancelled because of their opinions published online. Nudging people to identify themselves online is inviting them to dig a grave

Condition1952on Life lessons from the death bed

Servants or assistants might not provide you with the kind of connection that you long.

Or they could, if they care about you, respectfully attend to your needs and listen to you.

>Loneliness is the state of distress or discomfort that results when one perceives a gap between one’s desires for social connection and actual experiences of it. Even some people who are surrounded by others throughout the day—or are in a long-lasting marriage—still experience a deep and pervasive loneliness. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/loneliness

The military budget both in absolute and relative terms is ludicrous.

Condition1952on Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life better

yeah. That was it. ctrl+tab was set to cycle through app windows system wide. I had been grumbling for almost half a year. I've set it to ctrl+alt+tab. I'm looking forward to discover the unexpected incompatibilities. I had set ctrl+tab to "move focus to the next window" as cmd+tab shows applications. It was cycling through tabs anyway on Safari and Chromium

Thanks for the heads up.

Condition1952on Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life better
