Your story is very sad, and I am sorry you had do go through all of that. It sounds pretty horrific and over an extended period.
I hope you find some peace, through talking or posting or maybe eventually some therapy.
I think you will find that more people are supportive than not, though every crowd will have some assholes. Be selective with irl folks that you talk with, but finding a support group could be very helpful.

And that irony now is that messenger on Android is RCS compliant and currently has this exact functionality, except it's less trustworthy.
Once again I'm using one messenger and everyone else who's using an RCS messenger gets encrypted, but SMS (clearly marked as such) is a viable fallback.

I recall there being a LOT of those watches out that were "mobile data connected" for very cheap.
The catch? The mobile data radio was 2g, and those networks are all obsolete and gone now (I think)

All of the wyze stuff seems to be decent, but not super premium.
The headphones are 85% as good as the Bose, but for $49
The scale is quite good, nothing even remotely off about that and it integrates with Fitbit just fine.
The Color smart bulbs have been solid. One of the wyze smart plugs lost its memory once and needed to be re-setup, but fine since.
The cameras all work great too, as long as you're comfortable with the fact that the video goes to some cloud location.

Seems like asking for disappointment
if you want a decent cheap option, the wyze watch seemed okay

I actually read your article, and I wholly disagree.
Facts matter, truth matters and without the A students we would be even further down the road to Idiocracy, which ofc looks more like a future-documentary every day.
Your brand of "it's all stupid, so join the stupid train" seems designed to appeal to people who want to be stupid. Or you could call yourself ignorant, if you prefer.
In any case, the anti-intellect position that you promote may have a basis in reality (headline hippos) but it is far from a positive contribution.
You can do better.

Not exactly ------ no one really buys enough sex toys to become a 'known regular ' in a sexshop
For-sure he was known to so many staff because he was regularly visiting the 'video booths' area, which generally have gloryholes or other forms of public, anonymous sex.
Chances are very high this guy was giving and/or getting blowjobs to/from strangers every weekend

I'm not a huge trek nerd, but recently watched the whole series, and the two main irritations were the blatant/unnecessary/annoying/offensive sexualization, and the theme song.
It's easy to skip the opening sequence but the gratuitous fetishizing was pretty awful. The whole series would have been better without.

They figured out how to resolve it weeks ago.
It has taken this long to implement the results, and to get usable data flowing again

All this tells us is that Russia has literally zero anti-aircraft/intercept capability --- even for national-level strategic sites.
They keep getting their turds pushed in by radio-controlled light civil aircraft pottering in thousands of km at highway-traffic speeds.
Pitiful.

from: http://www.thebikecomesfirst.com/the-raleigh-vektar/ *The Vektar, the worlds first computer bike, was launched in 1985 long before we had health and safety laws. Equipped with ‘micro chip technology’ the rider could see how fast they were going, how far they had gone and how long they had been riding for at the touch of a button. The head’s down display ensured that you would ride into the back of your mate or a kerb as you fiddled with the control panel.* *If that wasn’t enough you could listen to the radio on one of the three AM preset stations either while riding the bike or parked up hanging out with their pals. Later models came with a MW tuner giving even less crappy sound quality.* *The main feature though was the advanced warning and alarm system. Once you had chosen one of the eight sounds from the ‘revolutionary sound generator’ on the top tube mounted control panel, you could use the handlebar mounted controller to terrorise old ladies as you rallied around the housing estate*

#Source: [ADDS Envoy Traveling Terminals - Hardware - Retro Computing](https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/adds-envoy-traveling-terminals/594)# Here’s an early 1970s portable terminal with fantastic looks, which might be rightfully called the “Polaroid SX-70” of terminals. Sadly, I wasn’t able to put a date to this. The artifact in question (sadly not mine) is the ADDS Envoy Traveling Terminal 600. The Envoy 620, which is also pretty stunning (see below) was introduced in June 1972. (Since this is looking a bit early, it may be 1970/71.)

In March, 1979, ADDS had delivered 100,000 CRT terminals. In 1980, ADDS became a wholly owned subsidiary of NCR. In 1991, ADDS become part of AT&T when AT&T purchased NCR. In 1994, AT&T sold ADDS to SunRiver Data Systems. In 1996, the company was renamed to Boundless Technology.”* P.S.: A nice source found in one of these pages, providing a comprehensive overview of 1970s terminals, is the “Handbook of interactive computer terminals” by Duane E.
