So I see where you're coming from. If your group of friends can collectively address all your needs, you would really feel like you don't need a romantic partner. And maybe you don't, which is perfectly fine.

I don't know where you are in your life. Personally, I'm in my 30s, and I've had close friends that have come and go. I grew up with making and losing friends constantly like any kid who had a military parent. All of this is to provide a bit perspective for when I say that (at least in my experience) friends don't stay. There isn't a reason for them to put you first in their lives. As they get more involved in new or existing relationships of their own, romantic or otherwise, there will be drifting and shifting of priorities. And unless you're really good at making friends, it gets harder to make friends as you get older.

A romantic partner is supposed to put you first on that list of social priorities and for a very long time. And it's that feeling of counting on someone to be there for you when you need it that provides a sense of safety and comfort when your overall social network changes.

I don't understand why add the beef...

Second grade teacher has the cursive where every letter is a variation of the letter O.

Paywall on the article. Does it say why?

Y'all are not cynical enough. It may be possible they simply didn't have someone go "Don't forget about this" but this little snafu will be twisted by them saying "See? These liberals aren't even allowing Trump on the ballot!"

Even though it isn't true, it's just another thing they will try to use to rile up their voters.

Just like Y to post a click bait, non-informative post. Here's an article that has more info.https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2280460/shockingly-inept-us-missile-defense-system-had-75-failure-rate-in-iran-attack-on-israel.html

The rate is only for SM-3 missiles that targeted ballistics. Israel also had significantly fewer targets and better preparation for their interceptions.

And how did you expect that to happen?

Multi-Account Containers and Sidebar Tabs for me. Gotta keep those (work) sessions secure and easy to find.

Eh... The US economy is practically driven by lending to the individual consumer. Banks created a system to identify risks to lending to individuals. Higher scores mean less risk of a bank losing money on an individual. So those high scores are presented with higher credit limits and lower interest rates.

The issue with the individual credit score is that it has become ingrained in society as a litmus test for trustworthiness and credibility. So low scores are rewarded with higher interest rates, lower credit limits, and hit with bigger deposit requirements. Background checks for employment and housing are probably the biggest issue in this regard. If there is a score-tanking event in your life (such as bankruptcy due to healthcare emergencies, for example), it becomes exponentially more difficult to bring yourself back to financial stability because your bankruptcy is reported to the credit bureaus, they tank your score, and you then struggle to find a good job to bring you up again.

A lot of people who happily get credit cards without knowing if they can pay do not fully understand the consequences of not paying. It goes far beyond a bank merely telling you "no".

Likely this. If they need to be FIDO2 compliant, then OTP and TOTP will be blocked. Personally, I would demand a company-provided phone for work.

This article is over a year old. However, if anyone wants a visual map, this article (https://www.sipri.org/yearbook/2023/02) has one showing where the various conflicts are. It's also a year old.
