Translation: When not accountable to greedy-ass shareholders, they don’t have to do the whole “If you’re not growing you’re dying!” bullshit; and can just keep the employees they need without constantly expanding and enshittifying their services.

If you’ve got regular access to the internet, and you’ve managed to stay fed and watered, you’re doing better than most of humanity that ever existed. It’s a struggle, for sure - but fight it. Or find something worth fighting for. I was in a position similar to you, and then was told that I had cancer. When actually faced with that very permanent end, I decided I was sticking around. You’re wrong that talking to people won’t help - it absolutely does.

So unless you’re a murderer, pedophile, rapist, abuser, etc - WE are better off having you here. Do us the favor and stay. At the very least, if you absolutely decide you don’t want to stick around - at least do something good before the end.

Absolutely. But I think it might be more advanced than that. They might have some sort of analytics that measures how long people stay on the page, etc to inform their purchasing decisions.

DDNS with Namecheap is as simple as hitting a URL with a /GET request from the IP you want it to point to. No limitations. No special requirements.

Luckily for me I don’t need many email addresses and zoho will do something like 5 for free on your domain. Do you dislike running the email server? I don’t mind all the normal day-to-day upkeep of things, but is email some special kind of hell or something?

Just because you don’t have a website up at [XYZ].com doesn’t mean you’re not using it. You could have a domain controller on the back end doing file services, or you could be using it for network auth, etc. Not all .coms exist for the purpose of putting up a website.

Honestly, we need people who are willing to reach out to that person and be their friend. Convince them to start therapy, convince them to see their doctor. From what I’ve learned from my daughter, she just didn’t see a future for herself. She still struggles with her identity, people online have convinced her she’s not a human being (literally, some “therian” group talking people into believing that they’re actually dogs/cats/horse souls in a human body) – We found that the biggest problem was the internet, first and foremost. Once we got all of our kids off of it, they all started doing a lot better.

We thought she was old enough to handle all of the weird shit online – I got online at 12 and witnessed all sorts of horrid shit, completely unsupervised, but the world wasn’t nearly as connected back then. We have some truly horrid people on the internet now.

I found some of her contacts were goading her into committing suicide, there were people in her groups that were literally there to find anyone with … let’s call them “alternative” lifestyles … and they were trying to befriend people, and talk them into offing themselves.

When I deleted all of that stuff, I had messaged the groups saying that my daughter was safe but was going through some things, I got 3 DMs from random people with things like “There’s nothing wrong with trying to kill yourself!”. The world truly is a toxic hellhole; and a lot of it is confined to private areas of the internet like Discord.

I found lots of the stuff on YouTube targeted towards kids had lots and lots of suicide topics going on as well. I’m fairly supervising when it comes to internet-time with my children too. I try to watch the channels they watch, I try to ensure what they’re getting into isn’t crazy – while still staying back enough to respect their privacy.

Turns out that was a mistake.

Damn dude, you nailed it.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm – you know what happened when my daughter took this advice? 3 cops showed up at my door at 2am and baker-acted her. She spent the next 2 weeks in a psychiatric ward being evaluated. Many of these places use incredibly ham-fisted methods, and they aren’t for the sake of actually helping that person. Here in America those people are treated as less-than-human at every step of the way. They see suicidal people as a revenue stream.

Sorry, but chalk this up to lesson learned. It’s almost always been this way. Domain squatters will do this all the time. In fact, some domain registrars will use you searching their site for an ‘available’ domain, and if you don’t buy it up right away – will buy it and hike the price and sit on it for years in order to lock it down, knowing you wanted it.

btw, Namecheap says Sunglocto dot com is like $10 - so just register a .com. Not through that Epik piece of shit that you used before. Legit, use Namecheap; they’ve never done me wrong and have been my registrar for more than a decade now.

Covered in the study I linked. Of the ones surveyed, most were in LGBTQ supportive nations.

There’s some new lemmynsfw uber-kink community every like…hour, with some dude shoving pickle jars up his ass or whatever; so…thousands, so long as this list doesn’t have an upper limit. Sorry, I don’t want pretend-jailbait porn or pickle-jar dude in my /all

Oh, and the college LGBT thing, started back in 2014: https://hechingerreport.org/colleges-see-gay-students-new-market/

https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2021-06/LGBT Pride 2021 Global Survey Report_3.pdf

Globally, 7% say they are only or mostly attracted to the same sex, 4% equally to both sexes, 83% only to the opposite sex and 6% don’t know or prefer not to say.

So I was being generous with the 20%.

Skill issue. Stop being a pussy.

Then you may want to reach out to your app developer.

Skill issue. Stop clicking the stupid thumbnail and click the link.

We’ve lost our collective minds because everyone’s been programmed by the media to be a victim about everything.
