My mortality! Hit 45 this year and it kinda feels like it’s all downhill from here.

Health is ok but that seems tenuous as I’m pretty out of shape so I feel like I’m not “set up” yet to be a healthy older person. When something does go wrong I’m not sure if I should worry about getting it treated or just live with it.

It seems futile to learn new skills and such since I’m not sure about the payoff (ROI).

Family/kids/job/money are all pretty great so I don’t have anything to complain about, but I’m still kind of feeling like I’m about to crest the hill of life and want to ensure I’m making the best of it and prepared for my eventual demise.

I don’t want to die! I really like being alive and kind of wish I had immortality (with a safety kill switch of course so I don’t have to endure the heat-death of the universe or get stuck inside a star somewhere lol)

Things will be certifiably worse if you don’t.

I see you excluded the guy across the street singing in his loud PA system for tips, as well as his 800 friends doing the same thing within a 1 mile radius.

(Sorry couldn’t help it. Just visited NOLA and it was cool, but I’ll be happy if I never have to hear another 11-year-old drumming as loud as he can on a Home Depot bucket.)

No no, you’re really not far off. Few, if any people here are advocating for CF to continue to provide the same services for the same price. It seems clear to most (including the author) that a price increase was justified. The problem we’re all having is how they went about it, agnostic of the client.

(I don’t care who the client was and don’t care one way or the other about online casinos.)

If they’re charging $120,000 per client, it only takes 17 potential lost customers to constitute “millions.” It’s realistic that at least 17 companies might be put-off with the way this was handled.

Just because you don’t like online casinos, doesn’t mean cloudflare didn’t completely fuck this up. They could have negotiated reasonable terms to increase their revenue on this account instead of going the route of stonewalling and extortion.

So not only did they lose this customer, but this bad press will ensure a lot of others never sign up with them, potentially costing them millions in foregone sales.

Yeah this was a massive boondoggle…

Do you have to mash it? Or will pressing it normally work?

When working on an office, it’s great and all that you have “the power of accurate observation” but god our Debbie downer is insufferable.

Just think of your computer or server as a huge building with thousands of doors. Most are closed, but you purposely open a few to allow traffic in and/or out of. Those that are open are only open for a specific purpose and will only lead in or out of a specific place in the building.

Hot take: I have never regretted being circumcized and never met anyone who regretted being circumcized so banning it doesn’t make sense for that reason alone. Some parents pierce their children’s ears without their consent, some give them frenectomies, pull teeth, reshape heads, bind feet, or do a variety of other “elective” procedures so I’m not sure why circumcision has so much hate.

My wife and I collect souvenir lapel pins from places we travel to. We write the date on the back, and keep them in a shadow box on the wall in chronological order.

It’s nice as it’s not very expensive to buy them, and they don’t take up a lot of space to keep, and we have a nice little history of our travels at a glance.

You mean “their plan they were hatching when being attacked relentlessly by evil islamists for decades on end?” Yeah I hope they continue to have a plan, otherwise the evil people like you who support Jewish genocide will win.

…is what Israel is defending itself against you moron

What shithole this place has become. Palestinians have rejected countless peace proposals, vow to commit genocide and wipe the Jews from the planet, attack Israel relentlessly, and finally Israel responds appropriately and everyone is like, “they’re a disgusting illegal terrorist state” because they won’t let the Arab nations commit Islamic Jihad and destroy their asses.

My God you assholes are fucking horrible.

Your worldview is so fucked up. The reason Israel gets support is because if it didn’t, the surrounding Arab nations would have wiped it out, as they have said multiple times.

It’s like a bully attacks a little kid, and the little kid’s older brother shows up to defend him, and then you saying, “the older brother caused this because he wouldn’t let the bully beat up that little kid!”

You’ve got it all backwards man. Get help.

Yeah, lots of Palestinian music festivals attacked recently, eh?

I can’t blame the Palestinians for fighting to get them out.

Oh is that what they were doing at the music festival?

I think all the Palestinians should move to Iran.

I know you don’t think you are, but you’re really misguided and have been taken in by some messed up propaganda. You’re missing SO much but I get it’s popular to rag on Israel and the US right now, so it’s kind of easy to just go with the flow.

Two days ago, hundreds of innocent people were ambushed and murdered at a music festival by some Palestinians.
