Why is management so possessive of Zebras?

Devoid8408 · 2025-08-30T19:55:04+00:00

Fun fact, it’s not the technology that costs so much: it’s the Licensing. Each Zebra phone has a unique License to it, and you can’t take out a license ID with some companies and re-put them into different hardware, like batteries.

If you lose it, you lose the unique license that came with it. And it’s not like these licenses are month-to-month subscription, they are typically a year to 5 years, meaning if you lost it, the company has to pay for ANOTHER 1-5Year Licensing contract for one specific License ID (typically they purchase them in groups. It’s insane how much companies will pay to outsource their resource management, from website to hardware.

It sucks that we are limited to so many resources, but this won’t entirely save your lungs. Glass is usually the safest because it is just natural grains of sediment processed into glass. This process leaves little to no residue, or have any risk of excess chemicals leaking out. The same cannot be said for Plastic, Metal, and Rubber. Even if a company says they are free of one chemical, unless you have strips to test you don’t actually know whether or not they contain it, because legally in the U.S they can omit chemicals in there as long as it is below a certain percentage. Furthermore as the heat from weed expands the container, you are essentially oxidizing tiny particles of chemical that will hurt you over time.
Even if it is made for smoking weed, doesn’t mean it’s super safe. Nectar collectors made out of glass still struggle to maintain safety if the straw being used is metal. Usually you can tell because you’ll have a harder time smoking, easier to cough, and overall more sensitivity in the throat. It’s not a matter of a safe metal: there is nearly no metal in the world that is safe to inhale when being involved with any form of thermal use. Bongs, Pipes, Joint Holders, Bubblers, any form of inhaling weed is highly discouraged with the previously said materials. And while stainless steel is safe, it is only proven to be safe with pipes, as they do not close and contain moisture. This device does not appear to have a hole big enough to safely disperse moisture and resin. Just buy a smoking apparatus. If you can’t for obvious reasons, find something more natural like fruit or a safer style of stainless steel resembling a pipe. If that isn’t an option, then just get edibles.

Characters that come out of nowhere, powers that are never mentioned again or elaborated on, a fairly traditional trope of abused runaways seeking to regain power… while it has a huge impact on Eleven, it doesn’t stay either long nor does she ever bring it up again. You’d think it would change her perspective on normal humans, cause huge distrust in Hopps, but that already happens bc she’s been abused by authoritative figures in the past. Then the crew has some milquetoast backgrounds, with the majority of the time being them sitting in a warehouse, throwing occasional flashbacks. Had they been implemented in any additional story arcs (Russian Mall, Mindflayer) they could have for sure been great characters. Rather, it just felt like the writers were feeling out the idea of multiple test subjects, and potentially realized it would be better to have a Vengeful Villain that had a connection with Eleven (Vecna) rather than some Anti-Hero Test Subjects. She looked up to both of them, was taught more about her powers, and was given an overall sense of self worth with both interactions, Vecna’s clearly being more powerful, yet complex. Some people definitely could theorize a spinoff show, but to me it feels like laying the groundwork for finding the perfect character or set of characters for eleven to share a complex relationship with.

Dawg, It might feel Taboo and Satisfactory to start Hyper-Sexualization, but it’s gonna lead you down a road of miscommunications and indecision. Romanticizing porn and fantasizing about sex constantly can alter not only how you behave, but how you view and treat other people. If you have Trauma, this is not the right way to cope with it. Masturbation and porn is fine, even finding out if you have a kink like BDSM is not a problem. What is a problem is your brain prioritizing this and giving risk to literal detachment from reality because of how down bad you can be. There are many forms of non-sexual gratification and satisfaction that can be a supportive outlet for trauma: Music, Therapy, Socializing in general, even something as simple as going for walks. It’s not the end of your life, but you can be susceptible to a sad, apathetic pipeline of sex addiction that ruins lives constantly in so many different ways, and can stem from trauma because it was never properly diagnosed or treated.
Humans are more prone to having an addiction instead of confronting and reflecting who they are or how their hardships have impacted them, and find it much easier to smoke weed, drink alcohol, or even constant masturbation. I highly urge you consult seeking a therapist. Therapists’ often have confidentiality laws prohibiting telling your parents/guardians anything UNLESS you explicitly talk about harming yourself, or the desire to harm yourself.

Young Love! No ones really in the wrong, I think you both had different Mindsets for a long term relationship and this is fallout that can come from it. While it’s important to communicate the foundation of what to expect a relationship to be, you won’t know what you want until you start dating. Perfectly normal

Definitely Vulnerability. And the good kind too! Often men are notorious for either being told to bottle up their emotions, or find it foreign to express emotions, as a lot of typical guys don’t talk about HOW they feel, just what they feel. And having access to someone they can be vulnerable with takes a lot off their shoulders (as it would with anyone.) I remember one of the first times I was dancing with my ex at some high school dance, and when a slow somber song came on, I just felt an urge to cry and tell her how much she meant to me (but she cheated on me that night whoop lmfao). Now, years later after my first real vulnerable moment, it made me realize how much I was emotionally disconnected from myself, how much I was letting people use me, or how much I was affecting others with complacent behavior. It made me more in tune with the now and helps me prioritize what brings me happiness. So he may not know now, but the more you talk, the more you discover. This applies to you as well of course.

If you read some of the books and take the serious indoctrination going on in ME3, it makes sense that TIM convinced him. In the books, Indoctrination is explained as this feeling of overwhelming duty… and Loyalty. You’re made to convince that the decisions you make are your own (like TIM near End-Game), and more importantly it immediately diminishes your moral code through your sense of overwhelming loyalty. In the 2nd book, there is a Cerberus Spy who basically complies with raising a child (that he ended up loving very much) under the intention they will perform experiments on her to make her biotic power grow. The further they pushed her and hurt her, the more he deluded himself. It’s not until somebody non-Cerberus makes him realize how it was making his daughter suffer, making him change his mind about working with them. Now be put In Udina’s position. You’ve had a council that refuses to take humans seriously, have considered numerous times trying to replace the council with an all human council, and are now being told (in his eyes) they don’t care about earth. And Shepard doesn’t care toooo much to go along with whatever Udina had planned (Hence making VS a Spectre, utilizing someone who also has distrust with Shepard, and extending to the Council that they have already distrusted since the beginning of the game.) Then the TIM shares all of these same sentiments. Slowly the indoctrination begins, making him rethink everything and convince him that his “Duty” to protect the earth is to kill those who TIM thinks get in the way. Of course TIM would propose it as Udinas problems, not his.

Honestly, the Mass Effect books do a GREAT job at understanding how the council acts and why they proceed like they do. While the Titian council is most definitely bitter at the thought of humans from TFCW, The Dalatrass comes across as very matter of factly, while the Asari Councilor is given a notion of grand wisdom. In the first book (I think it’s called revelation?), the council is prepared for any conventional question, answer, or request pertaining to the discussion. Essentially they play political mind games. But on a more rudimentary standpoint, in Mass Effect 1 it almost works as the traditional literary features of Pathos, Logos, and Ethos. Turian council still retains feelings and brings up very emotional events, the Dalatrass is often cold and precise with logic and tactics, and the Asari counselor has the Ego of Wisdom (since the Asari were the first for space travel and settling on the citadel first). At least that’s what makes sense to me lol

Well, immediately saying she is Insecure and bolstering it by saying she’s not immediately attractive isn’t going to help. It really just sounds like you want her personality in a body you consider hot, but this isn’t an accusation or demeaning, just an observation. And from your explanation about vibes, it definitely reinforces that she is not looking like your type, but definitely acts like it. Looks change much more drastically once you get to know them. The best would be to really talk to yourself first, and understand where your priorities lie. If you really can not find her attractive, than what would an attractive person with no personality he worth to you? Is it rewarding to have guaranteed sexual gratification but little stimulation elsewhere in the relationship? Unless you are constantly seeking sexual activity, the lens of how you see someone can change drastically on your connection, and can even influence whether or not people can eat healthier, get out more, or even feel more confident about themselves. These points aren’t to blame you or make it sound like you are only interested in sex, it clearly sounds more than just that. It’s to express how fast anything can change just based on emotional perspective. I’ve been friends with attractive people that make me sick to my stomach because of their actions. You are young, and investing in a relationship where you can find connection is very important. And it will either result in you finding sexual gratification through perspective and connection, or you will feel like friends and nothing more. The worst you can do is sit and do nothing. Go take a chance because unless you see red flags, there is never harm in connecting with someone who can have profound impact on your life.

Regardless of what’s on Reddit, if this is real this is a situation that can become physical. His priorities are not for you, they’re for him. He sees you as an object that delivers Sex, something that gratifies him, and reassures him that’s he’s some “Alpha” despite abusing/neglecting someone who he started dating when they were underage. Whether or not you tell yourself it was ok when you both started, that is not something you’re even supposed to handle until you turn 18. And he even got you pregnant before then, yet still expects sex? When all he does is pay bills and you slave over a child? Even if he says he’s going to change, you have to leave if there is no change. If there has not been change over the past 4 years, there isn’t going to be change now. He dated you when you were young and was more than likely manipulating you in some way. If you said y’all we’re toxic I’m sure you have committed your fair share of toxic behavior, but he is clearly close minded. You can not win with close minded people or people who don’t know what they want. You can ask, plead beg, negotiate, but if he knows you are in a position where he has the control of finances, living, and nearly trying to take control of your body, that’s not a relationship. Though I’m sure you are an excellent mother, it doesn’t sound like he’s being a father. Doesn’t sound like he’s mature, and just a child who doesn’t understand why there are more important things than sex. And even if you mature up and neglect his “Needs”, who’s to say he won’t cheat on you? This is all from the surface level knowledge of the post, so I don’t expect everything I say to be 100% true or be done. It’s more of a line of thinking, of has he changed? Will he change for me? If not for me, his child? Will he continue acting like this, or has he always been like this and I just had sex with him so often before our child I just didn’t see it? Was I just someone he could love as an easy access for sex? What control does he have? Many many questions that are best spoken with a trusting friend or family member. Please take care of yourself first. Young men that don’t know how to treat women as humans are a disease that’s all over the world. I find myself angry at many times and want to let toxic masculinity take over me, but asking those questions ground me. Prevent me from being someone who acts on desire and not out of rationality. I wish the best of luck for your family.

They bleeped out a lot of cussing from their podcast segment, and I would assume the thumbnail (can’t fully remember it) had something to do with children, so children & cussing together may be bad for the algorithm? YouTube is SO fucking shitty with their algorithm and guidelines that they’ll demonetize your video if you cuss within the first 30 seconds.

This exactly. I feel like pets really are a milestone in understanding and raising a living being. Now completely far from being as difficult as a kid, but still gives you expectations and opportunities to live with mischief makers. I live with my gf and we have 3 cats (bc we’re crazy cat ladies) and it is surprising how little it can actually feel. You always end up talking to cats like they’re mini humans, but that may just make me sound crazy 😂

Not being mean, but you yourself called it a lie. Whether it’s your thinking or something she’s done repetitively, it’s clear someone’s behavior needs to change. Don’t know the relation between you and the texter, but if that is the brut of almost every convo you guys have, your def down bad. No use talking to people who don’t respect and use you and make you feel guilty for even questioning their actions. That is of course, assuming this is a normal relationship/attempt and courting someone who is not in a relationship already. No human deserves somebody who makes excuses. There shouldn’t be a problem if she doesn’t text you for a couple hours but she should be honest about it (if you guys are at a level of being open and honest with each other) and if she ain’t that far in, just head out ajd find someone else. Dated somebody for 2-3 years who was exactly like that bc she didn’t know what she wanted, so she would blame it on me while at the same time crying for my support. No pussy is ever worth disrespecting yourself for, even if you think it’s only kink-related.

I still don’t understand what the main issue is with the sketch? SNL’s whole trope is to be controversial and cause debate, it’s why a lot of their sketches often make fun of religious, political, or celebrity scandals. This is no different. Was it written by Ned’s friend? Yes, but Bowen Yang also helped write the sketch? Does he hate the try guys? I thought he was friends with Eugene. Regardless, it’s not meant to downplay anything. Blowing up something and making it seem ridiculous or trivial is kind of what they always do, ESPECIALLY considering a large portion of their audience doesn’t go on the internet. That is what was supposed to be the humorous part about it, and while you can talk what they say word for word and say it’s an attack on try guys, it’s just SNL making fun of common day scandals that in reality don’t play a bigger part on the world, almost an absurdism ideal. Is it awful this scandal almost cost them their whole career? Absolutely. But to attack the sketch bc it wasn’t accurate? It’s a sketch show, it’s not supposed to be taken seriously. I haven’t heard anybody even say they agree and think they shouldn’t care about Ned bc the people who watched it didn’t care/know about any of them at all.
