I have my text app set up so that when I swipe left or right on a text thread it sends it to the Archive folder and out of my Inbox. Occasionally there will be someone that I know I need to limit my contact with for whatever reason but I keep getting tempted to text them when I go to send a meme or something and scroll through my recent text contacts. ("Oh! They'd think this is hilarious!") Or sometimes it's someone on my shitlist and just seeing their thread irks me. But I may not be ready to full-on block them because they're family or a really old friend. That's where Archive has come in so handy. It eliminates the visual temptation or annoyance. Also, if the other person texts me it immediately comes out of the Archive folder and shows up in my Inbox again and I'll make a decision whether to read it or send it back to Archive unopened. However, it's like Block Lite and has removed a little bit of stress from my life when needed.

Have a bachelor's in Radio/Television/Film. Worked as a Reports Analyst for over a decade writing SQL code to pull data from databases to create reports in spreadsheets. Now for the last sixteen years I've been a hairdresser.

I wish I could quit you.

Musk's statement about the government not using SQL is false. I worked for FEMA for fourteen years, a decade of which was as a Reports Analyst. I wrote Oracle SQL+ code to pull data from a database and put it into spreadsheets. I know, I know. You're shocked that Elon Musk is wrong. Please remain calm.

Today I decided to check with a couple of local insurance agencies to see if I could get my family's current coverage any cheaper. I never searched for this specific topic, only for contact info to reach out to a couple of agencies. Then I made two phone calls, sent two emails via the Gmail app including my current policies declaration pages, and I received one text message from an insurance agency. Now my news stream is flooded with ads for comparing insurance rates and changing companies.

I quit Reddit and deleted my account after nearly a decade last week. I just found it to be a source of consistent stress. It got to the point where the most innocuous comments kept getting me temporarily banned from subreddits. The final coffin nail was when somebody posted an article about how the Trump administration scrubbed all the information on HIV/AIDS from government health websites. I replied in the comments, "Double plus good." Apparently Redditors thought that I was endorsing this censorship as a good idea and downvoted me. So to clarify, I edited my comment and said underneath, "For those downvoting me, read the novel 1984 by George Orwell." That's all. I didn't say, "You fucking idiots need to read a goddamn book!" I simply cited the reference for my original comment. For this statement I got a three day ban not just from the subreddit but all of Reddit due to harassment. The ban was automatically imposed by the bots, so I had an opportunity to appeal and have a real person review it. I did so, fully expecting anybody who actually looked into it to be reasonable, but they kept the ban in place, so I decided enough was enough.
