To me, summers feel like they are getting hotter and hotter.

That's true. In general, temperatures are around 10 degrees higher (globally) than when I was younger. I think with Fahrenheit it's adding 50 degrees?

Yeah, something like that.

There's an account on Gab that is very popular. It's run by a woman, and many men like the things she posts on there. But some of the things that she posts on there are disturbing. A couple of general examples - false teaching about the Bible and making unscientific claims about women. (If you are familiar with my past posts complaining about Gab, it's someone different this time, not Lori Alexander).

One of the things that bothers me is that the men on there that claim to be Christian are the same men that like her bad posts. It makes me wonder - why are they not bothered by it? I know some of the men are actually false Christians, but it's bothersome when a legitimate Christian man agrees with her bad posts.

One of her recent posts makes a claim that only women in the workforce have affairs. It's absurd...and like I said, unscientific.

I was trying to make an AI image for a new avatar. The program told me I had used up my limits! (I have the free account, 3 images/day). I know I didn't use up my limits because I hadn't used it in awhile.

I don't know if it was a glitch or if it was a gimmick from the owner to have people upgrade.

You should try Microsoft Designer!! You can make a free Microsoft Account and with the free version of Microsoft Designer, you get 15 credits per month to use to make AI Images.

In my opinion, Microsoft Designer is the best AI Image Generator. They make really beautiful high quality AI Images!!

If you want more credits per month, then you can get the Microsoft 360 Subscription. Then you will get 60 credits per month.

Nearly 13 years ago, my life was going pretty well and I was optimistic about my future, then anxiety struck and everything came crashing down.

I've had so many difficult thoughts in my head lately. I think about how much better I used to feel and long for things to be that way again. I struggle not to hate myself for all the mistakes I've made, including missing the early warning signs of my anxiety disorder. I could have avoided all this if only I'd gotten help sooner. It's hard not to get jealous of people who didn't have to go to public school, because most of the fears that led to my problem came from school. I feared things that I thought would ruin my life if they happened, and where did it get me? I ruined my life by fearing them. I'm frustrated that things that made other people so much better have done nothing for me. I'm sad that so much of my life has been wasted. I'm scared to death that I'm going to die from stress, that or get seriously ill, and I can't do anything about it. If I'd never had anxiety, I wouldn't have to worry about that because I wouldn't have much stress.

A lot of struggles I blame on public school too. It’s where I learned a my negative thoughts about my struggle. But people tell me Christian schools aren’t any better.
What problem is specifically linked to school?
You’re not going to die from stress anymore then the sky is falling
Whatever your struggles - and it sounds cliche - is somehow helping you. And this sounds cliche but it’s the Lords promise for us not just wishful thinking

@Multifavs , @GodAndChocolateVanilla , you both have my hugs and prayers.
From your brother knight,

The number one complaint you’ll see online pertaining to women is a lack of accountability. They believe that women are held to a different standard while similar behavior by their sex is condemned. Women who echo male talking points are usually well received. Especially if they take women to task while doing so.

One of her recent posts makes a claim that only women in the workforce have affairs. It's absurd...and like I said, unscientific.

The goal with that point is to reinforce the belief a woman’s place is home with her husband and family. They don’t agree with them working whether it’s necessary or not. The majority believe in headship but they disregard examples who live differently.

Lori Alexander recently took a swipe at The Press Secretary on Twitter. I don’t agree with her behavior and it’s honestly shameful.

I agree 100% with what you said.

In my previous post, I was talking about another Gab user. I wasn't sure about posting her social media name or her handle, because of the horrendous content she posts. I don't think it goes against community rules here to put a link to it, but I didn't want to find out the hard way.

Speaking of Gab...

(I think I've already posted part of it here, but on another thread.)

Anyway, about two or three weeks ago, Gab prevented anyone from accessing the website with the VPN on; the only way to allow the VPN was to upgrade to the Pro Membership. Their claim was that Indian scammers were using VPNs to access their website and scam users. And they kept using charts from 2021 to "prove" that Indians had been using VPNs the last few years...

I found a post from the owner about two nights ago. His new claim this time was that there was no change in traffic with the new VPN policy. What does that mean? It means the Gab team lied about the Indian scammers, and it ran off users who were no threat on the website (some of the users lived in Europe, they absolutely could not access Gab without the VPN on and there is no current set up for Europeans to upgrade to the Pro Membership).

Gab is run by phonies. This incident is unacceptable. And this is not the first time Torba has lied about an issue to provoke people into paying a membership. Why lie? And there was also a religious hypocrite in the comments section bullying people into paying up. Completely unacceptable.
