All beauty is born in chaos.

Mine is chaos. I purposely grab them at random.

It took a long time for me. I knew they did mean things but when you are raised like that it seems normal. The real breaking point is when I realized my mother was abusing my autistic son the same way she had me. They both died last year and I didn’t go to either funeral. My dad would often get in my face and scream at me while my mother would destroy anything I loved. If she gave me a present in a few years it would be gone. She would have and would be “saving it” for me. I have nothing from my childhood. I don’t have my class ring ‘she bought’ because I would just lose it was always the excuse. My dad was little different. I had a heart attack and got behind on my house payments. My dad ‘helped’ me out buy taking over the loan. When I signed both him and the POS bank guy told me it was just them adding him to the loan but it was them cutting me out. I could go on and on but the first sentence is your answer. I would like to add they were physically abusive up until I was fourteen. At that point I was absurdly strong for my age due to being my dads ‘slow gaited mule’ in his scrap business. He never passed up a chance to tell me I wasn’t good enough. I just wish I would have realized how badly they feared me after I picked something up that few could and put it in the back of a truck. I did this because he was having a full meltdown and I was scared of him.

More from the sales types but saying ‘value added’ is the same as saying greedy mark up.

Some pretty easy work arounds.

Edit: Okay since I got the downvote. The easiest way to overcome this garbage is to make it appear that all traffic is coming from the local network. This is really trivial these days. Just use a a tunnel/vpn. I recommend wireguard for how simple the client operates. The client is available for many platforms including crapple devices and android.

Just a guess. Because Germans are using it.
