I have been trying to keep the sale price to a minimum so I don't need to worry about payments as much, at least compared to worrying about rent. Also I don't have a car for the same reason. The only other major expense I have is student loans, and even those are not so bad in terms of amount. The b... |

I have wondered about apps, but outside the obvious (like Talkspace) I don't see anything. I was thinking about maybe a volunteer type app for mentor ship of neuro diverse people, but seems like it would need a lot of resources before it could be sustainable. |

I look at the 'Wilders Security Forums' website sometimes, but my understanding of most of the technical matters is either rudimentary or nonexistent. I'm quite interested in Veracrypt, which I've used quite a lot. I'd like to investigate Zulucrypt as well, but I can't really make head or tail of i... |

I have been obsessed with these topics as of late, in particular cryptography. Do any of you delve into these topics a bit? |

Windows 10 and the removal of the Windows Restore feature (can't be bothered to buy a 3rd party one). Essentially Windows computers always slow down over time and eventually you have to format your computer and do a fresh install of Windows. f**k that.

Second thing is marriage licenses. Why should I need a license to marry who I want to love, whether that is a woman, man, or the entire Denver Broncos? But people respond and say "that is how it is" and in that case either be for gay marriage or against. It just seems like people these da... |

So I had been walking passed an Orthodox Church near my house and my understanding was the Orthodox Church was conservative. However I saw an The International Rescue Committee outside the local Greek Cultural Outreach center, which I assume is part of the church. Now before I get into this I think... |

While there are too many conservative churches, who after selling their souls to the political far right, have been parroting secular right wing views on immigrants, there are still conservative churches who believe Christ's words about loving the least and most vulnerable of us.
