How do you know which side is which? You think anyone has ever accidentally bumped into someone trying at the same time? Lmao

A lot of new tech is not as efficient or equally so at the get go. Learning how to properly implement and utilize it is part of the process.

Right now we are just throwing raw computing power in ML format at it. As soon as it catches and shows a little promise in an area we can focus and refine. Sometimes you need to use the shotgun to see the rabbits ya know?

I had an amazing 2 year relationship with a woman in a very conservative family. We were early 20s back then and we were damn near perfect for each other. I ended up having to break it off for reasons akin to what you mentioned. She was not allowed her own car, couldn't choose her own job, was not allowed to move out unless it was to someone she married. We couldn't sit on the same couch in her parents house and she had a 9pm curfew. Again, this is in her 20s.

Although she did not hold those values as rigidly, her family would've disowned her for doing anything outside their wants, and family was her everything. Because we couldn't progress the relationship without jumping straight to marriage it just had to end. Really unfortunate TBH and I hope she's gotten out of it to some degree. People shouldn't have to live in such a way, being so controlled like that.

I looked into moving to Germany a few years back myself. Mostly because my work has a place over there and the employee benefits are way way better there than here. I think most immigration processes are nontrivial unless you have a ton of wealth to bring to a country.

I'm not.sure exactly how it works, but it might be a cookies, or IP check for the views? Either way it may just be that an individual person cannot view the contents multiple times to increase the count or you might get bot shenanigans

If they've a problem they can line up and speak with me! I'll have them know though, that I'll be first in line to talk to me no matter what.

Oh yeah, I'm a badass mix of Jonny bravo and Evel Knievel. None have performed such a daring stunt. It all started when I was born, I realized I could be born first by cutting in front of my twin.

Then I continued my extreme sport as I grew, candy at trick or treat, using the potty, using the break down lane during construction. There was no end to my daring

This is my story, the man known as Aweso line gets cut

Really though, we were at the center of the tech boom growing up. VHS to live streaming. Physical media is retro in such a short time. It's not even necessarily the advancements on their own (which saying were massive may be an understatement) but also the implementation and sociatal acceptance.

We went from "don't talk to people on the internet, don't meet with them, don't give out personal information", to literal non-stop blogging of all our life events to as many people who care to see it. This is not a lamentation, merely a statement to express how far things have changed in effectively one generation.

It moved so fast that even most 90s kids don't have agreeable substance for "the way we did it" since it changed and developed so fast. People two years apart in the 90s can have radically different views of what it was like because it didn't stay that way for any length of time. VHS to DVD to Blueray and streaming. XBox, Kinect, to VR. Calling, to Email, to AOL, to text, to smartphones and message apps. It was a wild burst of tech that was astonishing and ground shaking.
