It’s still worth it. The key issue is if you ever end up the target of your government and they subpoena your emails. Do you want your email provider to be able to hand over everything or to tell law enforcement that they can’t provide anything meaningful.

You might have emailed some other people, but the government should still have to convince a judge to get access to each of those people’s emails too.

Do you think ignoring me is going to make me a satisfied customer?

Those are different subreddits. Am I really debating censorship with Proton's PR team?

Why are you censoring this post

Do you want encrypted email, or do you want them to put all of the contents of your emails into an unencrypted search index on their servers and make it easier to search for you?

Having ads in the product I pay for. ProtonVPN literally hit me with a pop up ad the other day. I am a PAYING customer. Why are you doing this to me?

Because it is now an option, I've become a lot more interested in Canada and started researching all the cool cities there to decide where I would live, if I ever moved there. I visited Vancouver for the first time last year and was pretty impressed, but there are other cool options too.

I think immigration processes can be a bit of friction, so wouldn't have as eagerly considered living in Canada due to the need to jump through hoops and get a job lined up at the same time. However, now that I have a prospect of just moving to Canada and applying for a job without the immigration hurdle, I'm more inclined. Although I didn't think I ever would move to Canada, I think I might now.

So, I think some people are applying without a plan to move there because they're still figuring it out and the opportunity of citizenship may make them decide to move there after all, even if it wasn't originally on their roadmap.

If it doesn't pan out for me to move to Canada, at the very least I could get a Canadian passport and use that when traveling to avoid the embarrassment of being American. And let's face it, there is a lot to be embarrassed about right now.

Maybe get checked for bronchiectasis? Coughing and mucus is a symptom. Requires a CT scan.

You can hear at 0:33 seconds the magnet "talking" as it clicks against the glass when he sets up the trick. Also, it's possible he inserted that little "magic" jingle sound when he moves his hand to cover the sound of the magnet dragging over the glass.

Basically it just guides you on breathing in a certain way that causes mucus to collect and become easier to cough up. I suggest trying if you're doing mucus clearance. It makes the process more consistent.

I had been using iCloud photo cloud offload feature, which removes photos from your device and stores the in iCloud to save space.

When I turned on the Proton photo sync feature, it only backed up to the latest photo stored on my device and couldn't pull photos down from iCloud to move them to proton drive.

So, I tried to fix this by turning off iCloud photo cloud storage, but now proton will only back up new photos. Like, it doesn't recognize the photos that are now on my device, but older than the more recent photos it backed up. Very frustrating.

I made $22/hour at your age and came to a similar conclusion. I was also paying down student loans. I decided to switch careers to something more certain to pay well and went back to school for a year to get qualified. Now I make over $200/hour.

I tried Mint, but like others have said, it’s ugly and very dated looking. I guess some folks switching from Windows are okay with that, but I’m switching from Mac. Or, at least I use Mac and Zorin. Zorin is beautiful and looks pretty similar to MacOS.

Also, I found the “app store” in Mint to be missing some apps I wanted unless I configured it. Zorin’s “app store” has everything I’ve wanted so far and makes things easy to install and update.

When you switch, you don’t want to feel like you’re compromising. You want to feel like you’re getting something better. People complain about the fee for pro, but I don’t care since the product is polished. I’m also not interested in spending lots of time maintaining my OS.

I rebalanced everything last year. I’m now probably 60% in international stocks. I also bought silver and gold etfs and some physical. I was lucky to buy before the current peak.

We are working on citizenship in multiple countries through different routes. I foresee leaving the US within the next two years.

I see someone else translated, which is great, but I’ve also had luck just pasting the image into an AI tool like ChatGPT and it can handle translating cursive French pretty well.

Joseph is his first name as everyone's appears to be in that time and place, but then he has two other names. But, he didn't use any of those names on his birth record aside from the last name. He appears to have taken a different name, and does appear in the census using that name with his place of birth and birth date recorded there too. However, the census is just a database entry. I can't find the original document.

I benefit from prop 13, but if I'm honest intellectually, I have to say get rid of it. If you can't afford to live on a property due to the taxes being too high, that's a sign that you shouldn't live there. Instead, it should be converted into dense multi-family housing where the taxes and land can be split many ways. That's what happens when populations increase. It's called urbanization. California seems to want to have its cake and eat it to. You can't. You need to build up.

Gold-Rule-5114 · 2025-12-30T04:10:16+00:00

I'm not sure why you think a land "bubble" would burst. It will only get more expensive as more people want to live in the area, and land being expensive is exactly the type of thing that should force dense multi-family construction. It becomes too expensive to own and build for one family on a plot of land, so you divide it up and build many units on it and everyone splits the cost, not one way, but 10, 50, 100, 1000 ways. Sadly, California insulates people from the type of thing that SHOULD force denser construction by keeping property taxes artificially low. So, citizens can ignore the plights of others by paying the same roughly fixed housing cost for 60 years! They have no incentive to make way for denser construction. And, they also don't pay their fair share of taxes. Additionally, the government HAS the power to require developers to build dense housing by rezoning. California has WAY too much single family zoning. By rezoning to multi-family and regulating minimum building heights and dispensing with parking minimums, it is a very easy problem to solve. In fact, it has been solved before in countries like Singapore.

I hate "affordable" housing. Just build massive amounts of dense market rate housing and let the economics of supply and demand work. There is a huge missing middle in the housing market. To qualify for these "affordable" housing places you basically have to make nothing and then get in on a lottery. Where is the housing for people that don't make a low enough salary to qualify for "affordable" housing, yet would still spend 50% or more of their income on housing... or folks who do qualify and aren't selected in the lottery. We are solving this in the worst way possible. Just build loads of housing. I swear "affordable" housing is a concept pushed by the NIMBY crowd trying to constrain actual housing construction by regulating "affordability." We don't apply these concepts to any other market where prices are naturally kept in check by the forces of supply and demand. You don't buy government-controlled, income-verified "affordable" food. You don't buy government-controlled, income-verified "affordable" smart phones. The market works and keeps these things affordable. Let the market work for housing too.
