OP this is a big improvement from your previous post. It’s an excellent starting point for folks who are looking to start using a VPN. There’s a lot of constructive criticism in here, which is good, but might be discouraging. Just know that this is already very useful for many people.

I almost ate the onion

I stay blissfully ignorant above sea level and I aim to keep it that way

I tried out sewing recently. It’s very inexpensive to start by hand and I feel productive when mending clothing and fabrics around my place.

I go straight to 5 but I bring 2 and 4 with me

Awesome, thank you!

I like puzzle platformers. Is Uurnog Uurnlimited still available?

I already have my own copy for Xbox 360, but just wanted to say Enslaved is a great (but admittedly flawed) game for anyone who hasn’t played it!

Libre Office Draw is another Ai alternative

Fair point. Let’s add positively to the discussion then. An admittedly easy place to start is Google search. Here are some alternatives to try:

• Startpage
• DuckDuckGo (FYI partially uses Bing i.e., Microsoft)
• Ecosia

None of the above are perfect, but all are much better in terms of their impacts on others IMO.

I haven’t seen mention of duckduckgo in this thread or related ones. I use it regularly and I don’t have too many issues with it. Anyone aware of concerns with it?

Burning the midnight oil aye?

Hell yeah. What games did you pick up with it?

Hanabi - a pretty simple card game in which you work together to put on a fireworks show. You can’t see your own hand, but instead can see everyone else’s. Others give you hints about what’s in your hand so you can make plays.

10-minute dungeon - a kickstarter table top game where you tear through as many dungeons/monsters as possible in 10-minute increments (I think). It’s been awhile since I’ve played it, but I have very fond memories of it.

No, no, this sounds incredible!

Then you are not and never were an ally. I have “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo on my reading list. You might consider adding it to yours as well

Honestly, I think playing it with a friend might even bump it to 8/10. I had a blast with it despite the lack of innovation and repetitiveness of the gameplay

Slow down, live in the present, and enjoy who and what I already have in my life. That includes being more forgiving to myself and others, worrying less about all of the possible things I could be doing (personally and professionally) and instead choosing one thing at a time to focus my energy on, and being more aware of my own thoughts and feelings, then expressing them in a healthy way.

Maggie’s Farm by RAtM is also a great cover
