I know Critical Role didn't have that rule in their contract, especially since they bring so much to the platform.

Highly recommend Revo. It does such a fantastic job and it's great because it helps you clean out the left over files, so if you're not as tech-savvy (or you are, you just don't know how to or where to remove files/folders) it does a great job!

Yo my condolences about that! That's never okay! I hope you drink water and take breaks โœŒ๐Ÿป your mental health is important too!

Ugh, yeah, not excited. Especially since I have to be in the city for something a week beforehand. So those cookers are going to be out and loud.

My ex-stepdad was (supposedly from his mouth but I went no contact with him once he left) a huge conspiracy theory person. Vaccines cause Autism, Alex Jones was a huge presence in my house, anti-anything left of centre. Funny thing is, he's Canadian. But when he spoke to my mum about something she had contacted him about, he mentioned to her how the last lockdown at the time was what did it for him. And now he's "supposedly" not a massive conspiracy theorist nut job. So what I'm trying to say is, yes, I agree, we need mental health professionals working with these people. Because if I can go off my ex-stepdad and his problems, then I'm sure there's a large majority of these dickheads who are probably of similar or worse mental health.

Tell me about it... They shit me up the walls.

Now they have their "say no to the voice" rally with actual literal Nazi's. I mean conspiracy theory territory can get alt-right very quickly but to have actual Nazi's at your rally... You fucked up.

While I do rant about jobseeking, I do appreciate the job provider I'm with (since I'm still in the probation period of this job). Like a previous one I was in honestly made me suicidal because of the things I had to do. And while my current provider still sucks (I am disabled and find walking tough, but they expected people to come back into the office, I couldn't even do like one week phone call, one week go in like I was doing), but they make me less suicidal. That and they do offer things to me, like vouchers for ubers to work and they're covering 3 driving lessons (haven't had a lesson since way before the pandemic).

So yeah, being on Jobseeker is such a poverty trap. It's made to feel like hell on Earth.

One of the additional things that sucks is here in Australia if you're unemployed and/or disabled you can sign up for Centrelink and do Job searching there. But it is just terrible, because not only do you have to look for a certain number of jobs (I think abled-bodied people can do 20 jobs per month, whereas I got to apply for 12 due to disability), but every 2 weeks you have to go in and spend maybe 10minutes or more traveling to the jobseeker place and tell them "no I haven't heard back from anyone, yes I've applied for jobs, etc".

On top of that, if you're disabled you'll get fucked over because you can't work, you know you can't work, but Centrelink refuses to put you on the National Disability Scheme because you're not disabled enough (people who have missing limbs have been told that their missing limb will grow back, or you'll grow out of it. Some disabilities aren't even on it, like ADHD isn't considered a disability and only "high functioning autism" is allowed). But you can be a part of the Disability Employment Scheme (DES) where you still have to apply for jobs, but not as much, but you get some benefits over being a regular Jobseeker.

Generally, the whole thing fucking stinks and I'm so thankful that I'm finally out of it. That and the fact that those receiving Jobseeker payments are being paid below the poverty line because the government refuses to put it up.

I just, ugh. Job seeking sucks, especially when businesses ask for 50million years of experience but it's entry level. Or the fact to get experience you need to work in this field but to get in this field you need experience. Ugh.

Yeah I've been a uTorrent person for years, but I think two years ago or so I just went "fuck it!" Because the constant ads (and also horny af ads) were doing my head in. So highly recommend Qbittorrent.

It's great that they have that. But man it got abused so easily, and it felt kind of silly that you could actually block it. I remember getting it after saying the most middest of takes.

I mean like you take a photo with your rear camera and once that's taken it'll load up your front camera to take a photo but you can move it so it doesn't take a photo of you. Kind of like a countdown timer.
