Frustration

@Usseewa I need you to do something for me alright. Find someone, be they a roommate, a friend, a family member, anyone. And I need you to give them the knife.

Proton docs might be better for that, as it is stored in the cloud(Proton Drive) by default, so you already have a privacy focused cloud storage with it, whereas if you wanted to do something similar with Libreoffice you would need to set up an additional cloud service for that, be it Proton Drive, self hosted or something else. Obsidian would work, and if you find that better go for it, but it would make it hard to export the story in a document file. Proton docs has a free version which will cap your storage at 5GB, but that's way more than you should ever need. What OS are you using? Because it only works on Android

This is all of course dependent on local laws, yes, but the fact that you had to have a law about it in the first place tells you that it was happening. And your bank doesn't necessarily sell that information, but it can be retrieved, and used against you. I would argue otherwise. System hardening, VPNs and control of what software you use can pretty easily get you down that far. Now the remaining 30-10% becomes increasingly difficult to outright impossible to remove you are correct, but it is doable. Simply by changing my browser I've blocked close to 400k trackers and ads in the last couple of months. Use of a VPN hides my location and IP address from the websites I visit, as well as my activity from my ISP. Not what I said. The shard keeps very little information on you, but caring about privacy in general is highly important. @Usseewa You said you're making plans. Do you have one you keep coming back to?

Oh boy. Alright I'll discuss this First you say: what do I have to hide? Well if you have nothing to hide, may I ask for your username and password to all of your various accounts? Your bank account and email in particular. Or your search history, would you mind sending that to me? How about giving me live access to your location? You could very realistically and easily do any of these things, but I'm going to guess you won't Because even if I have no ill will towards you that's not something you just share with anyone who asks. However the vast majority of people who have access to this information never asked you, and anytime laws are proposed that would stop them from collecting this information or that would restrict what they can do with it, they fight like their lives depend on it. So here's my second question? If that information isn't important and doesn't impact your life: why is selling it a multi-billion dollar industry? And yes it does impact you. Anything you buy with debit/credit card is recorded, insurance agencies will charge you different amounts based on what they find there. The thing is we have no reason to put up with this, it's not hard to cut 70-90% of that information gathering out of your life withthout a single interuption in your day to day life. I can keep going for 2-3 pages about all the ways various actors, both governmental and corporate, are spying on you and collecting information you wouldn't give to your friends, but I think I've explained the basic reasoning behind it.

Good, good. Just making sure. Glad you're doing better

@Verdance are you okay? And are you considering suicide?

I've loved Brave, and it's my personal recommendation to my friends and family as it requires almost no changes to your browsing habits. Brave doesn't run an unaltered chromium, and they already disable or outright remove parts they don't want. So should Google add something to chomium to let them track users(again) they aren't bound to include that in the Brave browser. Not to say that means that Chromium based browsers are the right choice for everyone, just that it might not be the weakness you imagine. Now personally I don't like that 90% of all web browsers are chomium based, which is why I use Mullvad for some of my more private things. I'm also really excited for the Ladybird browser project as it will be entirely new, separate from both Chromium and Gecko.

Yeah, I think habbit is what keeps most people with Google. Have you switched web browsers? That's definately one of the perks. Though I think a VPN would be faster for you. What is Orbot by the way, I've seen it come up a few times but never found an explanation.

Well, once that happens to real people I'll add it to the list.

Awesome, how are you liking it so far?

What's that?

Some are better than others. Endowment probably can make life, but Taravangian admitted that he can't.

The best rendition we currently have for the name Ba-Ado-Mishram is: Child of the light of Cultivation and Honor She only does this after taking up the Well of Control, which is well within the power the well would grant anyone. That's a bit subjective as the Nightwatcher is described as a mask with a body, whereas BAM is described as a singer. I don't personally see a strong resembalance, but I get where you're coming from. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, but I don't think there is a lot of evidence in favor.

We aren't sure. The only thing we know is that after Shallan uses it for the first time Abidi the Monarch says something along the lines of Personally I think it has to do with the restrictions Honor placed on Surgebinding, but even that's speculation.

Being impaled. As in sharpened wooden spike up your hind end and poking out on top. You'd be surprised how long the human body can survive in such a state. Crucifixion Blood eagle Chinese bamboo torture, where bamboo literally grows through your body I forget what it's called, but you get locked in a barrel full of honey and left in a swamp where you slowly die of insects Rats. I can keep going, but you get the picture.

That's it? I can think of waaaayy worse ways to die.

No one had better be drowning

He wanted Rayse dead before the Shattering. I think I'll be fine.

He's also wanted Rayse dead for several thousand years. He has bigger fish to fry than dealing with little old me.

Active on the forms does some heavy lifting there. I can name a few others who know just as much or more, they just aren't active here.

Updated this with some new information

Interesting, I like to go by entries starting at the oldest and working my way up. That way I don't miss anything and I can find the "Unsearchable" WoBs, even though most of those aren't very useful. That's a different approach, I might have to try it. ^Honestly that's the real best answer You deserve it, you're one of the best out of those of us active on the forms. You, me, Treamayne, therunner, NameIess. Wait, we can be the five scholars!

Scadrial is the closest to earth, and while I like the others, I'm not a very adventurous person, and I want to just live my life. I'd go with Feruchemy as for just daily life it's probably the best And Hoid is the only one of those who won't just kill me the moment they get a chance, so him.

While not technically spoilers, it's not a great idea to talk about other books here
