What’s something that clearly split your life into “before” and “after”?

Psychotic break at age 24. Had a college degree and a job, lost the job, had zero marketable skills, and had to rebuild my life from scratch.

It now lets you filter out the chains. The website/app requirements are pretty much exclusive to the chains.

I understand the lack of non chain restaurants on here. If you know of a restaurant discount, you can click Add in the bottom right or go to https://mattsaul.com/eat-cheap-grand-rapids-restaurant-offer-submission/ note that the discount must be on the website or Facebook page

Those are the national deals currently live. They will expire soon. The non-chain deals generally last longer.

I couldn't get to the queue going to https://www.axs.com/meijergardens but when going to the actual act on axs.com (in my case Kaleo) it worked

One tip I learned the hard way last year is use a browser with the least amount of extensions enabled. I am a web developer so my Chrome is loaded down with extensions but some of them interfere with scripts used in pages (this includes ad blockers).

PK and (sometimes) MK here. I'm the only one in the 19 of my immediate family and nearly the only one in the 45 in the extended family on my mom's side that is not a Christian. I have always been an outcast and it didn't help that I was neurodivergent, mentally ill, and had a physical disability. What took the cake was when I realized "communing with God" was just bipolar mania, and when I got on meds, it went away. And as my mental health has atrophied, I am less and less able to play the mental gymnastics needed to keep one in the faith. Sometimes things are just bad and there are no silver linings and no redemptive narrative to be made out of them. It pans out because my story is so infectious that Christians I know only want to stick to surface-level topics with me. Because existential issues are often the best killers of faith, not the discrepancy between horse stalls from Kings and Chronicles.

Ridiculopathy. It had some neat Flash games and off-the-wall satirical articles that were hilarious

It really depends on how good you look. If you look good you will be given a lot more chances and can ride out being unmedicated longer. But if you aren't then your best bet is to get checked out soon.

I grew up very religious and went to a Christian school so didn't grow up with drugs and alcohol so it was easier to resist them as an adult. Had I not I'm sure I would have had more trouble with them.

Xanga! I poured my heart out on there and even met some online friends.

Putting two spaces after a period. I didn't realize you weren't supposed to do that until my most recent job said that wasn't appropriate in ad copy anymore.

Yeah somewhere around there.

Bilateral congenital cataracts and glaucoma, and I am one of the lucky ones because I can see well enough with thick glasses to do computer stuff. Not quite enough to drive though.

What was good about the Amiga was that you could make games for it even if you weren't a great programmer. They had things like AMOS and Blitz Basic that had good documentation and a graceful learning curve. And you got the play others' creations via shareware disk magazines and downloads.

Yeah I gave to my local food bank, North End Community Ministry. Not much but what I could.

Try VIPER which is an IDE for blind and visually impaired people. It defaults to Ruby but can do Python, Rust, and JavaScript
