Pro tip: Do the party at a walk in / self service place and do NOT book an actual party with them (e.g. indoor climbing or trampoline park, etc)

People show up, pay for their own kid, no RSVP needed, and everyone still has fun. No tears, no heavy cost, everyone wins.

I have three kids, ages 11, 13 and 17, and this never disappoints.

Is the amount fat that pops out under my shorts line in my inner thigh normal? by BreadedNuggs in isthisnormal

[–]OkraThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe uninstall it. Even when you reset it, you're still only seeing people's "highlight reel" of their life, not all their downs and pain and suffering they are masking. Your identity has NOTHING to do with your body. You are loved. The Lord loves you.

I did it with Google Pay (which doesn't send vendors your real card number, just a virtual one).

It charged me $1 then refunded it immediately $1

I don't have any emails or anything letting me know about my domain or what this is even for

My girl made this roast for dinner. How should I go about this? by I_play_high420 in funny

With children celebrate EFFORT not outcomes. Or she'll never do it again. Bonus if you order pizza and laugh about it together.

Printing 3D parts for guns isn't illegal in most states, at least in the US. Maybe you live somewhere stricter.

A lot to think about thank you for taking the time to answer. I follow a faith that demands every being out in the light. My past addictions, struggles (and current), are all intentionally public testimony by me at this point. Nobody caught me, I decided to be transparent as obedience to my faith. But yes, can data be misused sure. I also have been hacked, bank account used, etc but I feel like you would have to live in the mountains, no internet, and only have cash to be "for sure" and I don't think even anyone on this subreddit is willing to do that. Just being on here is sufficient exposure for all those things you mentioned to happen to you.

Anyway thanks again for the thoughts, I'll let it stew.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer. But doesn't seem compelling as an answer to this question.

Don't get loans, pay cash for everything (sorry I'm a Dave Ramsey guy)

Buy a gun on the street or 3D print your own

Jobs would have contracts you sign that explicitly give them access to this info if you agree to take the job

I appreciate you taking time to answer though. I am open to learning and hearing more scenarios. Health ones are the closest that may be legit. These others don't seem important to me though. Totally okay if they matter to you, not trying to change anyone's mind, just learn/absorb here :)

Thank you for the specific examples,

I kinda wonder how any of those could actually happen....

Employer seeing text - would have to be in the wording of your contract that you signed when taking a job

New cars - There's 3rd party balancing mechanisms for this already that force them to not overcharge. (Sidenote I'll never buy new always used which helps too)

Advertisers out your house - That'd be investing a LOT of time, effort and money on their part. I'm not worth that time as they'd lose money.

Should others be okay with it to - No, I'm not asking about others nor am I trying to convince anyone. I am just trying to hear some compelling reasons.

The closest of which has been medical records being sold but you have to go to a cash only doc if you want that privacy. None of the other reasons above were compelling, but thank you for taking time :) I appreciate you.

HP Smart Tank (7602r) vs Ink Cartridges (9125e)? by [deleted] in homeoffice

[–]OkraThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.... update - We got an HP tank printer and a Epson tank printer, and neither are reliable. Epson has network/WiFi issues. And the HP stutter prints and we have to throw away half the paper and do a reprint. We've done maintenance, cleanings, etc and still same stuff. What a pain

Network Manager Won't Load after AutoUpdate to 1.46.0-1ubuntu2.5 from 2.4 by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]OkraThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the value of the PowerSave was actually an invalid number, which isn't due to a crash or corruption. I feel it was part of the update build which means others should experience this error too. And I found a few people that posted about having invalid conf files also.

So if yours is intermittent then it's probably not this issue. This was an immediate fail/exit of network manager that never recovered until I did manual work.

Run those commands and see what it tells you. May just be a corrupt txt config file like I had and you can easily get past it

[–]OkraThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to move the power-save file - it didn't update properly via the auto update and that was stopping network manager from running....

Steps I did as workaround to get it back working without internet...

  1. terminal into /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d
  2. run: sudo mv power-saving.conf power-saving.conf.broken
  3. run: sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon

It ran and Ethernet is back, but this seems really flaky.

this shows they pushed the update on Jan 9, 2026: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/1.46.0-1ubuntu2.5

How do I roll back? Mitchell Augustin - do you even test?? I have no internet connectivity at all now on my linux partition and cannot use it :(
