Cloudflare works perfectly fine with VPN.

But browser plugins to fuck with the fingerprint don’t.

They can’t exactly force you to pay for a funeral you don’t want.

Where I’m at that’s exactly how it works. Even if you don’t accept the inheritance, funeral expenses are owed by the next of kin (jointly if there’s more than one in equal lineage).

They might not be able to force you to conduct the funeral, but they will enforce the costs regardless. If there’s an estate left, the next of kin can claim it back from the estate though, if somebody further down the line accepted the inheritance.

“AI husband”. WTF. It’s good those people get a well needed reality check… Seems like 5.0 is fixing some of its predecessor’s shortcomings.

Other people on the show earn a salary as well, they might pay guests a participation fee, and there’s also opportunity cost to consider if an alternative show has a potential to generate higher (ad-)revenue.

Still sounds unlikely.

Embrace who you are, as cheesy as it sounds, and turn your quirks into advantages.

Going bald? Who cares, I started balding from 19 years old, and at 21 I had a sizeable spot at the back of my skull that I could touch with one finger without brushing against surrounding hair. Figured I’d rather be bald than looking like a haggard whimp, shaved it the same day and never went back. I’m in my 40s now.

Heavy lifting/physical work: Pumping iron isn’t the only way to get a defined and conventionally attractive physique. Look into exercises to build core strength and arm muscles through calisthenics, yoga, plank holds and the likes. Work with a trainer who can give you proper guidance.

Relationships: Not every relationship is built on love. There are transactional relationships just as well, which might be frowned upon in public, but depending on the source, 30-50% of men engage in them regardless. Might work wonders for your self esteem. Of course if you choose to do so, have your local legislation in mind, travel might be required.

As for generally embracing and grounding yourself, guided meditations are pretty neat. Sometimes offered through yoga centers (it’s a good combination in general and a relaxing hobby that still works on your physical limitations). I probably wouldn’t do either online, having a person to guide you along for the first few times is quite important. You might also run into like minded people there, which can help to foster relationships (looking at platonic here first and foremost, an active friends group really helps to build confidence as well).

Now we’re talking! 😁

I also quite like the Andechser Monk brew.

I’ll take Erdinger Dunkel over Augustiner every day, but else I fully agree.

My thoughts exactly, what a heap of crap. Tom’s Guide used to be one of the good ones out there, real shame.

What I was wondering though is if they detect browser plugins through some public ID - how difficult is it to change those? In Firefox it’s absolutely trivial, you can simply download the extension, open it as a zip file, and then edit the files inside with a text editor and change the ID.

Haven’t used chrome for years, but extensions used to be javascript files just as well, so I doubt they are that hard to edit. Unless they found a way to block installations from local files and enforce their shop, no idea if that’s a thing.

Oh wow, dial-up in Germany died 20+ years ago. I’m surprised that’s still a thing. Well, was. But until now is really staggering. I wonder what you could even still do over such a connection, considering that even messenger services and email now use 3-5MB just completing the server handshake.
