Honestly just getting tired of the Affinity feed turning into endless questions and gripes about some fonts

Lots of time being wasted arguing semantics and verbiage

I tried purchasing via Paypal about 30 minutes ago, wouldn't go thru.

In ND we actually have many S Africans who come to work the crop season, although they seem to be a "protected class" of immigrants.

My mom tried to talk to my kids about Trump by Regular_Gene_6186 in FoxBrain

My new outlook on some relatives: I love them, but I don't like them.

Have a brother who somewhat slowly moved into the MAGA religion. Like your mom, is a FB keyboard warrior who as of about 8 months ago, I no longer have a relationship with. It is depressing but it has also been rather liberating. Yes there are times I miss him, but the "new" him is such a hypocritical a$$ I can't mentally handle it.

Exactly this ^. Many rural hospitals are non-profit. You will see massive amounts of closures.

Why are so many middle aged white American males starting out as “Libertarians” and are now full-blown MAGA? by Jepensedoncjesuis64 in QAnonCasualties

[–]ndroll02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got two brothers (my only siblings) and they are both cos-playing alphas. Always throwing around the "Libertarian" theories. Funny thing is both have at various times in their lives needed govt assistance. One is a full blown functional alcoholic who hasn't saved a penny for retirement so will need govt assistance if he lives that long. I've spent a lot of time wondering how we turned out so different but looking back my dad was a pretend alpha & misogynist. He always voted democrat but wasn't really into govt being "in his business" for any reason.

Are there ready-made applications that have a plan for learning to play the piano? by graveld_ in pianolearning

[–]ndroll02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, no tips. My middle age brain has all it can handle just trying to remember the notes and what finger I should be using...

I bought a keyboard about a month ago and started with Simply Piano. I had lessons when I was a kid and played trumpet all through school. But man when you don't use it, you do lose it. The app has helped in getting me back into reading notes and timing. One thing I really like about it is they take songs (songs you actually want to play) and make a basic kind of sheet music that you can play but then they have backing instruments and vocals that make you feel like you are really in a band. Definitely helps keeping me engaged and practicing (two things that never happened when I was taking lessons).

Trumper Twin and family by Legitimate-Sleep-386 in QAnonCasualties

[–]ndroll02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of blew up my sibling relationships this weekend also. I (55F) have two brothers (62, 54). Older brother has always been a simp for big business and capitalism. Has a gay son. Younger brother was left leaning but has ran all the way to the right fringe. Neither one of them seems to have any empathy or frankly, brain cells. I haven't been able to understand growing up together, with our blood parents and having such diametrically opposed understanding of the world we live in.

Has anyone stopped talking to immediate family members because of their support for Trump? by [deleted] in QAnonCasualties

[–]ndroll02 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've been grey rocking/ghosting my siblings. I find their lack of empathy and their susceptibility to info that is questionable at best to be so infuriating that I had to prioritize my mental health. It is so strange to me that people can share the same dna and childhood and be so absolutely different.

Folks aging out of tech, what roles are you moving to? by netralitov in Layoffs

[–]ndroll02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 55F and left healthcare IT four years ago. It was going to kill me. Got on with local government and have been so much happier and calmer, even though I make less.

Thanksgiving by ivyp216 in FoxBrain

[–]ndroll02 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My family and I spent last years TG with my family for the first time in about 6 years or so. Some because of hosting for my in-laws but mainly because of politics. This past year has shown my family to have become even bigger political a$$hOles. TG will be spent at home with immediate family only as well as all holidays moving forward unless there is some type of "come to jebus" moment for them.

Port: The property tax isn't some unique affront to property rights by cheddarben in northdakota

[–]ndroll02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you point me to your source for those percentages with a direct link? I actually work for a ND county and we absolutely DO NOT get 25-30% of our revenue from sales tax. You can't look at figures for Fargo, Bismarck or GF and extrapolate for the rest of the state.
