If you haven't listened to her West End Girl (this dress is one of her concert outfits for the album) I highly recommend. It's full of bangers, and very open and vulnerable about the audacity of David Harbour, the ex in question.
The story I've heard is that he took a nosedive in effectiveness as CEO when his son died in 2022 (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadellas-son-dead-26-company-says-rcna18320). No idea how true that is, but 2022ish does seem to have been a turning point for Microsoft in terms of strategy and how well the company is run.
Me on public transit in any outfit because public transit rocks
And we do! Usually it's American/British kids that get caught after going after high profile targets because they're kids and they're dumb. Some of the more well known groups (e.g. Scattered Spider, The Com) specifically recruit minors to do the hands on keyboard operations because they're less likely to get time than adults. Most resourced hackers are not stupid enough to launch operations against Western organizations from countries with extradition agreements.

I took a trip to Mumbai last year and immediately developed a cold after arriving. When I mentioned it to my friends I was there to see they said that's totally normal for people visiting just due to the air pollution. It's no joke.
And then imagine living in New Delhi where the air pollution is on average nearly 3x worse than Mumbai.
There's nothing to be gained from Cloudflare lying about this. It honestly makes them look worse if the outage was caused internally vs if it had been due to an attack
Aromantic and asexual are distinct, but often confused.
Aromantic/aro: an individual who feels little or no romantic attraction to others. These folks may still have relationships or hookups, but generally don't find those evolving into long-term romantic love or monogamy.
Asexual/ace: an individual who feels little or no sexual attraction to others. These folks may still have relationships or hookups but generally don't feel a specific drive to engage in sex or other physical intimacy with people.
Anyone on either of these spectrums can still have relationships of any type, and anyone on either of these spectrums can still be an asshole in those relationships. Aro people generally don't form individual romantic bonds, but unless they're also ace/asexual they are still as sexual as anyone else. As a result, it might appear that they are a bit of a player (sex without long term attachment).
If she is indeed aro but not ace and is in a monogamous relationship, she's likely not in the best situation for someone with those leanings. It sounds to me like she wants out of the relationship but isn't willing to be honest about it and is trying to get OP to end it.
My mom swears by drinking something through a straw during conversations where you think you might cry. I have yet to try it out myself, but maybe it'll work for you :)
I think this is a great thing to talk more openly about!
I have an at-home laser hair removal device (https://us.braun.com/en-us/female-hair-removal/ipls/silk-expert-pro-5-pl5157) that I use on my legs, armpits, bikini line, and boobs. I also use a razor to touch up legs, armpits, and bikini area when I need to. The hair in these areas is a lot slower to grow & more fine than it used to be before I started using the laser device, but it does still come back.
I can't imagine being the type of person who takes pubic hair removal seriously though. I've just got too much and it grows too fast and my skin is way too sensitive to handle it. As someone that isn't in a relationship and not super into hookups, my perspective is: if you're going down there you're welcome and you're one of the lucky few. I'm not about to cause myself constant discomfort just so my occasional sexual partners have a view of my genitals that they may or may not find more aesthetically pleasing. The idea of putting in all that time, effort, money, and discomfort just so that my vag can look like a child's is a fucking no for me.
No judgement towards those that do it! Just could never be me.
I'd amend this to say 'know what the seasonal conditions are for your area and plan accordingly.' In Washington for example Spring is generally too cold for comfortable camping (the temperature typically drops to ~30-45 during at night). While August/September is peak wildfire season nowadays. So June, July, early August are your best bets unless you're happy toughing out the cold or the smoke.
On the other hand, I would rather have a job that continues to be needed than no job at all. I think I'd prefer having some resources to help myself and my loved ones during the societal collapse.
