Yep. Me and my wife moved from Mississippi to Seattle 2.5 years ago. Best decision ever.

Satanism is weird. Let’s use The Satanic Temple tenets instead:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

V
Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

When changing biometric data on the iPhone, it locks you out of using it in other apps, making you put in your bank/other specific password.

Both of those require their own password or biometrics, so you couldn’t access those either.

In order to turn off the Find My iPhone functionality, you need the Apple ID password, so this isn’t even a real concern. You can even remotely lock the phone with a new password. Apple has made stealing an iPhone and making it work afterwards very hard.

If it’s made in flutter, doesn’t that mean you easily publish it to the iOS App Store? Isn’t the main point of flutter to publish to both iOS and Android?

How will verification be done? Are they making the websites foot the bill for verification, which pornhub is super against, or are they going to make a centralized device verification, like how Louisiana did, allowing its residents to access pornhub again?

How is the 25% decided? Public content or private, like a Dropbox system? 25% by file size, length (how are pictures counted here), or just per item (would a gallery or picture be the item here)?

These legislatures know NOTHING about technology and how it all works and are just doing this for censorship and LGBTQ+ discrimination.

Sex influences gender, but they are not synonymous. You cannot be non-binary by sex. Sure, you can be intersex, but NB refers to gender exclusively.

You mean sex checks. Gender isn’t physical. They’ll call it “gender checks” though.

Exactly. I’ve had some of my most emotionally vulnerable conversations with my wife during and post trip. It helps you look at your life in a different lenses and really question your current ego and perceptions.

Nope! My wife experiences a “contact high” when I’m tripping, and we’re just cuddling for a couple hours in bed listening to our favorite music. She’s super empathetic so that may be why she gets the “contact high.”

This is why I love Washington. Everyone has an OPT OUT absentee ballot. Everyone gets one at your address. Every election. All the time. The same address that’s on your ID. It’s amazing.

For single player games, or multiplayer games where there’s not a bigger progression system, yes, I 100% agree.

But sometimes this is necessary, like with an MMO. You’re paying for access to unlimited server time for that period (typically month or year).

Exactly. I see so many stickers in Seattle of “go home tech bros” talking about people who moved there and work in tech.

I would not include tech bros in that. Sure we can make a lot of money, but most tech bros are just making enough to have a mortgage on a condo in their city, or a house in the suburbs, which many other jobs can do.

I worked for a Mississippi company and made 50k out of college. I left in 2021 making $80k as a project manager and 4 years experience. Definitely nowhere near how much Magic the Gathering is making from her investment. Even now, I am making more, but $12k is still a crippling amount of money.

Ikr?? Voting is so easy in my state. I get the ballot in the mail, like everyone in my state. I get a voting guide. I vote then drop it off 15 mins from my house. Everyone can vote even if they’re working.

Huh? Use the remote app on your phone. It automatically pops up like a notification when there’s a text box on the screen. So easy. You can turn the box off by holding the power button for a few seconds. To close apps, you double tap the TV button and then it’s an iOS like interface that you scroll over and swipe up on the ones you want to close.

The UI is very minimal and the same across most all apps, so it’s easy to learn and use. It may be missing some power features, but most things are accessed via clicking of just holding.

I’m well aware of this chart. I actively push for using other drugs because of this. One way we can help the dangers of alcohol is by having a better public transit system.

Everyone has vices. Alcohol is very historical. We have alcohol in a lot of things, like a lot of food, so it’s impossible to get rid of it or even ban it.

I’m not one to put down someone else’s hobbies. My wife and friends and I all go out and drink for the flavor. Cocktails are entertaining and delicious, beer gardens and breweries have a chill laid back atmosphere and really helps us get out of the house. We don’t drink to get drunk. Sure, alcohol isn’t that healthy for us, but it takes the edge off. I can’t take mushrooms, weed, or LSD every day after work to relax. Booze is nice sometimes to just have a bit of a rounding out of the day.

There are many precautions that need to be in place to protect drunks from harming others, and I get that it’s exhausting to be around drunk people.

Hops are really awesome when used correctly, but many breweries just toss in hops to cover up bad bases. I’m lucky to have a few breweries around me that make really goods stouts and sours.
