I couldn’t stress enough that you absolutely should not! Consider looking on YouTube as well.

Their favorite tactic is probably love bombing. We were thoroughly instructed on how to make potential new members feel “welcomed” there are literally mandatory “mid-week” meetings that they used to call the school. It is, literally a school to teach you how to manipulate people into joining. They literally teach you how much of the “truth” they should reveal to new recruits without scaring them off. I guess people are scared off when they know the “truth” which is basically an endless web of lies to try and validate and justify the endless harm they cause people. Mostly by manipulation and “disfellowshipment.” They won’t let you get higher education except when they need it themselves (they paid for some people to go to school and become lawyers to defend them.) And you can’t marry anyone who’s not baptized through their organization. Things like this should really rase red flags for people.

The things they do now are way more crazy than when I left some years ago. They’re a very dangerous organization. They thoroughly manipulate you. Not to mention that they’re bleeding money from legal problems mostly related to systemic defence and concealment of a whole lot rape, mostly children.

If anyone reading this is considering joining the JWs first look into these allegations. It’s a very real and serious problem.

Modern cell phones. It’s crazy that I basically never need a computer now. My phone is so diversely useful. I spend more money on phones than computers now. It’s also the best camera I’ve ever had! Phones are just so cool lol.

Sorry. I eventually edited my post. But edits don’t federate well for some reason. How do you get swipe on openboard?

that is crazy lol.

I like it but it’s very hard for me to type this lol

you can use this? Like as a primary keyboard? It’s cool though!

Is the sign on fire too? Lol

Interesting.

I believe you can “ban” a community from the sidebar but I could be wrong.

That makes sense too. I have a backup of the working APK and backups of my stuff that I can access with or without the app. But for now this app is being actively developed and I’ve been using it for years. I’ll probably keep using it until it stops getting updates if that happens.

I can’t recommend Daylio enough! It’s an app that’s constantly getting new features. It’s very customizable! You can make goals and custom moods which both help me a lot. You can also set reminders to do goals or just to make a daily entry. And all your data is stored locally unless you want to backup up to drive. Which is pretty secure. I think I also read that the backup is encrypted but I could be wrong. You can also manually backup and encrypt it then.

Moving tabs is the hardest part of switching browsers!

Sync for lemmy let’s you do this.

I’ve been on quite a few. But I mostly was on lemmy.world but their reliability is low. So I switched to Lemmy.ca who federated with basically everyone. Unlike World. I was on .ml for a while too but left for some reason. I’m also on Beehaw, I like it over there but it’ll never be my home instance mostly because you can’t create communities and they don’t federate with most of the ones I like. Being on Lemmy.ca allows me to interact with World and Beehaw from one account which is really nice. They also have really high up time!

Also sync.

Interesting. I’ll have to take a look at that!

It’s apparently very hot where you live! Just 80s here.

To be calm. I’m in a constant state of panic. I don’t know what to do because the pills aren’t really working… I have awfully bad anxiety.
