I’ve been with them for years and they’ve been awesome. Customer support was good when I was having trouble setting up my custom domain. Their web interface dose look a bit retro, but I never use that anyway (email in Thunderbird and online drive accessed with WebDAV, calendar and contact access in phone apps).
MailBox has been great as a single solution to get rid of all Google services from my phone (including contact/calendar sync). Highly recommended.
Shit dude, that sounds terrible with people giving you attitude for mobility aids.
I haven’t tried clubs (book club, warhammer, etc) and haven’t tried hobby classes.
I’ve had postgraduate formal classes, but that had mature students who had young families that they were keen to get back to (rather than hanging out).
I’m at a similar age and have similar interests. I’ve not been successful. I’ve done what others suggest, but not many people are making a genuine connection. Meetup.com ends up being an activity for the meet up and not connection outside. Conventions and gaming makes people get together for the event…but again little interest outside that.
Some of this might be a skill issue. Some of this has to do with how incredibly socially reserved the British are (all my ongoing friendships are with non-British people while living in England, because they’re the ones who will accept invites and meet up again). Some of this has to do with having interests that hardly anyone shares IRL.
I’ve seen posts like this before on Lemmy and people even said they were interested in a chat channel to start a social group here, so I made one and no one joined.
Good luck. I’m interested in reading the other replies you get.
Interesting to get hung up on the mention of AI. I understand being critical of AI, but to avoid the triggering I’ll write out what the actual purpose of the comment was…
Is this a real episode that is mentioned? Is the author a Star Trek fan, or have they made up something random for the sake of the comic? A search doesn’t seem to find details of a real episode like this.
ChatGPT says there is no such episode with a “Vulcan army” and no “Lord Startron” charachter, and then proceeds to give reasons for why I might be talking shit.
Great news. How about putting some money into building social housing next?
I still freeze the veggies. I’ll choose convenience rather than gourmet food. Just need to know you’ll have crumbly dry potatoes and wet eggplant (as veg releases moisture and frost thaws). It is still perfectly edible.
Potatoes don’t freeze well. Most vegetables don’t. Most tend to turn into a limp watery mess. Lentils or beans fare the best.
Its amazing how quickly you realise that you don’t need something when you’re forced to stop using it.
I’m the same. Don’t care about spoilers. If a story is only riding on surprise then it doesn’t have much to offer in the first place.
Even with series, if it has loads of seasons; when it outlives its usefulness then I have no problem ditching it after a number of seasons if I feel it has jumped the shark.
Please consider quality over quantity.
There is value in a short story.
There is value in an incomplete story.
Most of today still remains. Give it time.
Qualification inflation and no other suitable opportunities.
Employers have blatantly ridiculous demands because they will find people who cater to these demands in a shit system and shit economy.
That’s not a fishing pole. It’s a shape shifting penis.
Cool. It’s a good service.
