The article said it had a source linking the two events, then has a post-publication addendum that Roku denies any connection.

I agree with you that the timing is suspect.

Roku may dispute that the breach and the TOS change are related, but the timing is certainly suspect.

Heya, friend. I identified strongly with your inner monologue, if not from the same cause. I’m peri menopausal. I hope it brings you a bit of comfort to hear that many other women are having the same thoughts and feelings.

If I can share what’s helped me: I went back to a strategy I learned in my adolescent years… Sometimes confidence breeds confidence. I do my best to practice it until it becomes internalized and “exuded.”

As you move through your journey, know some old lady in Baltimore is rooting for you.

I will give this a try! Maybe thin out the pesto with citrus or balsamic. Thanks for weighing in!

I’ve tried adding crushed red pepper for the heat, but it doesn’t change the salt balance issue.

Me and my ex husband use “teh sex” (sic) to mean something is beautiful and designed exceptionally well.

You’ve uncovered it! THANK YOU!!!

This is a possibility, although the descriptions I can find are pretty limited. One mentions that the protagonist is a mall-rat. Any guess on when the book is set?

Edit: This was written in 96, which would have been too late. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Good questions! I think it was short by today’s YA standards - - maybe 200 pages. Definitely not a collection, just a short novel. It was more a historical fiction.

Thanks for the suggestion! Based upon the Wikipedia description I don’t think this is it, but I’ll read it to be sure.

All the seriously messed up stuff aside, this line made me giggle.

Some inside the White House called McEntee’s staff “the Rockettes and the Dungeons and Dragons Group.”

I work in with traumatized teens. There are times where they need to be isolated from their peers, but I agree that solitary is not therapeutic. Research and experience easily demonstrate that.

The reality is, though, that these systems are so underfunded and understaffed that these detrimental tactics are the only viable option.

I’m not defending the practice. I would never work in a system that uses solitary confinement with adolescents, but I have the luxury of choice.

“I call Rule 34 on Wolfram’s Rule 34.”

It should be a Rule to include the hover text.

I’m really not sure how I posted here, but I’m grateful for your answer. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Trying to post an image

I’m on lemm.ee, but I can see your image. When I try to upload an image, I get a spinning circle as if it is loading, but then nothing posts.

Thanks for letting me know. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong, and no idea how to fix it. Could it be my instance? My app (liftoff)?

I did that. Then I just tried again. Still no luck. How do I determine if this is an issue with my instance or my mobile app?
