So as a registered democrat constituent, should i call my republican congressman and tell him to support MTG’s motion in the hope that it wreaks increasing havoc on the Republican Party that leads to clowns like MTG ending up ousted? Or tell him to oppose MTG because congress working across party lines is the way it is supposed to work? 🤔

I don’t understand your comment. I have found SMART recovery to be free, running off of donations and volunteers. They also sell a few books at a reasonable cost. The only money I have ever spent is donating a few dollars after attending some Family & Friends meetings, and I bought the workbook for something like less than $20.

Another secular alternative is SMART recovery. They have group meetings in-person and online as well as a Family & Friends program. https://www.smartrecovery.org/

Oops I forgot temporary.

I just found this tutorial and tried it and it works. I had to create two shortcuts, one for OFF and the other for ON

/// Edit /// There is a Toggle option in the Set Bluetooth action which allows for a single shortcut instead of two distinct On/Off

I just turn mine off from the control center menu, swipe down from top right corner. It’s already so simple, why is a shortcut needed at all?

Wow it never occurred to me that it was/could-be formally defined in economics terms… but I’ve never studied economics. However, I am aware that is as known as The-dismal-science tho

Hmm that is an interesting take

Good point, I should reword the question. I don’t see it as every transaction is exploitative. But there is some kind of spectrum and I’m trying to understand where do I draw that line/range that separates good from bad. I’m curious to hear other people’s opinions.

 

Here are definitions from Merriam-Webster online dictionary, but what is your take?

Exploitation (noun): an act or instance of exploiting Exploit (verb): 1.) to make productive use of; 2.) to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage

Monetization (verb): 1.) to coin into money; 2.) to purchase (public or private debt) and thereby free for other uses moneys that would have been devoted to debt service; 3.) to utilize (something of value) as a source of profit

Ha wow that sounds expensive (and potentially toxic?) I wonder how the cost compares to common wood fence stain

That’s a pretty good hypothesis 🤔

Well when you put it that way, just about everything can be linked to dying stars 🤓

Thanks for sharing the link!
