Whether you choose to believe me or not is up to you, and by the sounds of it, you seem like you already have your preconceived notions about all us weirdos behind a screen so... :shrug:. But yeah, sucks to not be given the benefit of the doubt when one is telling the truth. Anyone who checks...

Would you want to know if your OF pictures were leaked on the web? If so, what would be a sensible way for you to be made aware? So essentially, I stumbled across a data dump of photos from a local SP (highly rated here on Merb) and while it is unlikely our paths will ever cross, I don't...

this guy is about to have his whole existence was upended.

yeah, I realize that my initial post comparing them is a shit post. I was merely comparing characteristics and not severity.

100%. I just meant that they are both uncurable, both are viruses, and can be managed with antiviral medication.

HIV can be treated Lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART), it is no longer a death sentence like it used to be. Think of mental illnesses, we can't fully cure them, but we can manage them in a way that can still allow many people to lead fulfilling lives with proper treatment and management...

I always found January and February to be boring and depressing in Montreal. It's brutally cold, the days are short, and there are no statutory holidays. And then go play in traffic during snowstorms where everyone suddenly forgets how to drive. You could always go skating or watch a Habs game...

So I found these articles, and they are not entirely relevant since they are geared towards businesses (B2C) instead of (C2C) but I'm pretty sure the same rules/concepts are applied. - https://help.woosender.com/en/articles/6805016-why-is-my-sms-getting-filtered-by-the-carrier - SMS Spam Words...

It mostly the same garbage and technology with some apps more polished than others. You could give burner (not sure how reliable the free version is) or sideline (they have a 7 day trial so I say let your imagination run wild to test) which could potentially address the network issues you're...

Unfortunately, most if not all VOIP second line have gone to shit. I use a prepaid esim on my phone as my second line but I can't recall if it was possible to bypass the account verification process, and by extension one ID's, during the setup and simply use calling card to reload the balance...

The initial capital outlay for getting a nas up and running is insane. That's why I'm running Unraid on my F4-424 pro because you can have different HDD sizes as long as the parity drive is the largest of the bunch (similar to Synology's SHR). Once I get all 4x16TB, I'm moving to truenas scale...

Does it block all links? If you ever need to send a link or message that is just way too long to simply take a screenshot, you can always encode the message or link via QR code. Services like qr.io comes to mind, and you simply need to take a screenshot of it to send it (don't sign up). You...

Kodi is great to manage your library, but it doesn't transcode (transcoding is needed when you cannot play the file as is, such as having subtitles, changing the audio, changing the resolution or bitrate). Many folks will have Kodi serve as a frontend while having Plex/Jellyfin/Emby serve as the...

my point exactly. It's too much to ask to expect the government to do anything right. The black market became a thriving grey market although that's pretty moot with the current poste canada strike.

So if you can't beat them... join them? But in all seriousness, while I don't have any evidence to back up my assertion, I don't know if we can group all middlemen in the same group. Just like there are bad employers, CEOs etc, I would assume the same goes for agencies. The question we should...
