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

[-] bayport@yall.theatl.social 4 points 1 year ago

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!

Cool! I suspected there had to be a practical reason. Thanks for sharing the link!
