Hey eelectricshock

I know what you mean

It does make me wonder about Airstrip One, the government, palantir and GCHQ.

Do we really believe that they stopped all that invasive surveillance after Edward Snowden.

I doubt it very much. They just renamed the programs, got microsoft, google and meta and the rest of the sycophants to run them, hidden behind private enterprise out of public sight, instead of Homeland and the CIA.

Hey Droechai

How about trying Sparklinux

They have stable, oldstable and oldoldstable images.

based on debian.

I use sparky on both my raspberry pi 3B's.

Sparky 7 still supports i686 architecture (32 bit).

ISO MinimalGUI i686 (32 bit)

Im an old therapist and I always recommend the power of silence.

I'm not nice to my co-workers. I am courteous, professional and set boundaries.

If someone asks me a private question about my life, family, children or anything I consider personal. I just remain silent.

Silence is simple. It take no brain power, whereas trying to think of ways to deflect questions will be stressful.

It is not written in stone that I have to answer questions. Silence is a powerful tool.

I never get into justifying to anyone why I do not want to share my personal stuff. Its personal for a reason.

The question: How do I live the rest of my life?

You must ask yourself, how did I manage to get to where I am today.

Reading your post, you say you have not been diagnosed.

The spectrum today, in comparson to 20 years ago has expanded exponentially from the original.

Personally, I think an introvert could get a diagnosis.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You are a human being, you are not a Label or a position on a spectrum.

There is no perfect human being, we are all different, not one of us is a diagnoses. That is why we are given names at birth.

I dont know anyone called, adhd, autistic, psychotic or depressed.

Diagnoses are what the medical profession likes to use to label us and put us in little boxes.

The rest of the world see each one of us as some random human walking down the street.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

During my psychotherapy undergraduate years at University, my peers and I did an experiment.

The experiment was to challenge the status quo, and assess how easy it was to get a diagnoses and get a prescription.

So being your typical, annoying under grads, a few of us. including me, went to our respective doctors and complained about; feeling down, unable to sleep, not eating very well, and extremely stressed because of the work load at university.

My GP referred me to see a psychiatrist at my local hospital. I was diagnosed with clinical depression and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) with a likelihood of a personality disorder.

He prescribed me the anti-depressant Mirtazapine and pregabalin for the anxiety.

Obviously, I was healthy 30 year old and didn't go the the chemist to get my prescription. I also told my doctor so he could remove any referrences to mental ill health added to my medical history.

We knew it was a stupid thing to do, but it did give us lots to think about, regarding the state of attaining a medical diagnoses, being prescribed unnecessary drugs and being given labels.

By the way, psychotherapists dont label people.

when I saw Meredith in the headline, I thought it was about Meredith Whittaker, not some skanky advertising company.

A case of the pot calling the kettle black, surely.

Poor Dotdash Meredith, face up to it, this is capitalism at its finest, Hand bags at dawn.

They bought into google's skanky advertising, hoping to earn million from advertising, more fool them. Caveat emptor! Greed makes idiots do stupid things.

Not making enough money from 175 million monthly users, 60% of the US people, onto which they impose advertising to earn vast sums of money. Poor bastards!

They talk like they are doing the pubic a favour by offering free articles in exchange for earning millions from advertising.

I doubt very much if this will be of any benefit to the general public.

Can't see this getting off the ground with the current US government disabling antitrust enforcement.

In the realms of capitalism, isnt all this just fair game in the free market.

I must say you guys in the USA do have a hard time with your shit carriers.

I would never root any phone, there really is no need. I have bricked many rooted phones and it is totally unsafe and insecure. I think its the equivalent of using windows XP.

Here is a guide; It might give you an idea. Its quite a simple process to follow.

Hey cantences

Thanks for pointing that totally lazy mistake out.

I feel a right prat now.

Probably the exact reason I installed an old build on my Oneplus 6T.

But please take into consideration, I do only have one eye, and I am partially blind in that. I cant afford a decent pair of glasses which doesnt help. I manage by looking through the bottle of a milk bottle.

Life serves us tough lessons.

One of the BBC's brainless stories that doesn't make sense.

How did they find this figure of more than 280,000 crimes, if the offences were unrecorded?

The article clearly states:

Unrecorded crimes are incidents that are reported to the police, but not recorded as offences, which often leads to no further action being taken.

Maybe they simply were not offences, just busy body, curtain twitchers, who have watched far too many TV (Copaganda) police shows. They always get their man on TV.

An example:

I look out of my window and see a couple of youths, got to be youths hasn't it, hanging around, listening to music, wearing hoodies, they look like they are smoking something. could it be a joint (showing my age now).

I call the police and report them. The truth is, I really dont like young people.

Nothing is done. The police put the phone down and think, what a fucking waste of time, we have far better things to do.

so they dont record it, because it is not a criminal offence.

I do not want our police wasting their valuable time recording engagements with people. I want them to record criminal offences that meet the legal definition of a criminal offence.

I am sure, that if a crime has been committed the police would do their job, arrest you, take your finger prints and charge you. They dont just let you go and not record it.
