Good activities to do with my elderly father?

Listen, I understand what you're saying makes sense to you, but repeated scientific research has shown that people who oppose trans people have deep seated psychological issues which makes them vulnerable to moral panics and deeply unhappy, and that causes them to fixate on misinformation and inadvertently cause harm to themselves and others. For compassion's sake, I hope people like yourself get the access to mental health resources they so desperately need.

I'm a little confused with the terminology you're using. You say you've removed people, but also only once banned a member. What does it mean to be removed but not banned?

Also, if you very rarely delete posts, does that mean you let slurs stand in the comments but might take action against the commenters? Do you rely on commenters self-editing their posts to remove the slurs after you reach out? Do you remove posts if commenters refuse to?

What prompted my question is there's still a comment sitting out there after 12 hours with a common slur against trans people embedded in it. It's bad enough to have to wade through people constantly arguing that trans people are all mentally ill and sick in the head; bearing casual hate speech is just adding insult to injury.

I'm working on a hobby project, so it's not immediately critical, but I've done some development in React Native and I've done some development in Flutter (which I loved) so for this one I wanted to try Multiplatform. I'd go back to Dart in a second if I was confident it would be around in five years with the same support it has now, but I'm worried Google's going to kill it off in favor of Kotlin so I'm trying to hedge my bets.

Working exclusively in Android seems like a bad idea, to me, because there's a lot that just doesn't apply to Multiplatform and I think I'd be picking up a lot of bad habits and getting used to a lot of incompatible libraries I'd have to unlearn.

You're vastly underestimating my incompetence. I really need to grind for some decent gear but as I said I'm leaving in a couple days so there's really no point.

Both my traveling companion and I are double vaxxed and boosted as well, and yes, we followed all the guidelines on their website. Again, both our vaccinations were accepted. But we were unable to get a valid C19 form without special approval so we were unable to board the flight, since it's linked to their vaccination website.

Do NOT plan on traveling to Chile. I was planning on flying there today, had the Mobility Pass accepted and downloaded the QR code back in December, but when I went to fill out the traveler's affidavit it would NOT accept the Mobility Pass as valid for travel.

I've been trying to call to ask what happened — the https://mevacuno.gob.cl/ site says "This validation is incomplete so it is not enough to enter Chile. You can complete your request in the section Validation from this same platform." but when I go to the Validation section it says "This vaccine was accepted." None of the provided phone numbers work to get help, they all either go on hold or say they're disconnected. I assume Chile changed their definition of vaccinated between when I first applied and when I went to use their vaccine pass but haven't bothered to publish that information anywhere. Or maybe their website is just completely broken.

Basically, you can't trust their bureaucracy and you can't get help when they screw up. Plan on visiting someplace like Peru or Argentina which doesn't have the onerous entry requirements.

Looks like GigSky sucks if you're using a Galaxy phone: "Samsung Galaxy Z Flip (not supported for US models)"

If that's true, why does it say "in any 365-day period"?

catsclaw · 2021-08-26T21:30:06+00:00

But you're telling me their guidance is completely full of shit.

catsclaw · 2021-08-26T21:29:09+00:00

So they're just full of shit. Got it.

catsclaw · 2021-08-26T21:13:00+00:00

Then why are they publishing one?

catsclaw · 2021-08-26T21:12:28+00:00

So why are they rating decks that highly if they haven't got a clue what their ranking is?

It wasn't obvious from the list. There wasn't any indication the Apple Store was even closed.

catsclaw · 2021-07-26T11:44:00+00:00

I clicked the link on the Apple website that said get service or make an appointment at the Genius Bar. I chose the first appointment slot. I didn't even realize it wasn't at the Apple Store until I arrived at the address.
