With Signulous you can side load uYouEnhanced. This blocks ads, includes SponsorBlock, and a number of other nice add-ons. Signulous costs $20 a year though, and you have to install a sketchy certificate to side load, and there's always a chance Apple breaks Signulous (happened a few times before but there's always been fixes). You can manually side load uYouEnhanced without Signulous, but it requires some research & weekly upkeep.

I had that mentality of "I just need girlfriend to fix me" for a long time. I was lucky that enough people like you made posts and comments like these and the message eventually got through to me. Therapy has been great for helping me understand how to fix and improve my life without relying on someone else, and that's motivated me to exercise more, eat better, and improve my mental health through journaling and other activities.

I know it can sometimes feel like you're shouting into the void with comments like this, where a few people upvote and you get some silly responses, but you never know if your comment may be the one that finally gets through to someone. I appreciate comments like this and I hope people never stop repeating it.

on Mom is having a moment · c/funny · 10 pts · 99d

I find the juxtaposition of the innocuous lead in ("text from my mom") with the rather unhinged text funny. The comparison to poetry, which I personally associate with peacefulness, adds to the expectation that it's going to be a pleasant text, which gets subverted spectacularly. I can also imagine the mom's encounter with the steak, resulting in them drafting the text to their child, which makes me chuckle because it's such a silly thing to experience.

It's less explicitly funny than a lot of things, but the subtlety doesn't mean it isn't funny. Humor is subjective and all, but there's plenty of funny to be found here for most people.

This is what works for me. It felt like such an obvious realization once I had it, but I wish someone had given me this advice years ago. It can still be difficult to beat the cravings at the store, but it's a lot easier to just focus on whatever list of items you need and ignore everything else.

I always interpreted it as the Dr. being the cause and he's removing himself (by going up the elevator) but he's going to leave them with the symptom of being horny. I did a bit of searching and it looks like there's a number of ways to interpret the line. Yet another reason to love the movie.

Here's an article clarifying the latter half of this comment's claims: https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/07/protonmail_hands_user_ip_address_police/

Relevant bits from the article:

Encrypted email service ProtonMail has become embroiled in a minor scandal after responding to a legal request to hand over to Swiss police a user's IP address and details of the devices he used to access his mailbox – resulting in the netizen's arrest.

Back in January this year, the company's homepage stated: "No personal information is required to create your secure email account. By default, we do not keep any IP logs which can be linked to your anonymous email account. Your privacy comes first."

Today that boast has been replaced with a mealy-mouthed version: "ProtonMail is email that respects privacy and puts people (not advertisers) first. Your data belongs to you, and our encryption ensures that. We also provide an anonymous email gateway."

Looks like the domain registration expired, according to https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

Fortinet marked the website as "malicious", but it doesn't seem to give an explanation as to why it's been given that classification (looked up here: https://www.fortiguard.com/webfilter)

Kasperky wanted an account (and possibly a subscription) to look up the website and I'm not going to give them any of my information so I'm not sure if they gave an explanation as to why the website is flagged.

Visiting https://thisismyip.com/ as of now just redirects to a Namecheap landing page so I doubt there's any actual malware on the website. I think Fortinet and Kaspersky preemptively marked it for when a malicious actor picks up the name and starts hosting actual viruses.

I couldn't find the post because I don't have a Threads account myself and it limits how far back on someone's timeline you can go, but the UI and username matches. The original post wasn't in English, so it must have been translated using OCR, resulting in the weird artifacts. You've got a good eye to catch that difference.
