I think he genuinely believed it was the best thing for society. He, like so many, was (and likely still is) convinced that everyone thinks like he does. So he believes the only thing that drives people is money.
Now if that were the case, the only way to advance society and facilitate growth in software would be to offer smart people a lot of money.
In that flawed logic, he really thought it was for the best.
If you live in a densely packed city. You’re absolutely right
Oh shit. I just checked and I see “session settings” which seems like it actually might work for this. I’m gonna have to try this out!
Nope. The buttons in the phone app still work. Which means the kid can still mute or hold or hangup the call. Which is the problem here.

I’m not sure why, but I need to know… was your ex male or female?
If you use any substance to cope, it’s not healthy and will ultimately lead you down a darker path. Unless it’s truly recreational or for experimentation/exploration, stay away from them.
All emotions, even the strongest ones like unbearable grief and loss, need to be felt and processed. Allow them in and don’t repress or run from them. Especially not with the help of mind-altering substances.
I hope this helps.
These days, every damn day has WTF in it.

Hostinger is the closest I can think of. They do have limits but they are very high for the price (which is actually true of dreamhost too, they just aren’t honest with you until you hit them).
Sounds like you’re looking for the clubhouse app.
Here’s one Mwmbl
My guess is OP works in a max security or super max prison.
Yeah, no.
If you need to keep a bottle of Pepto close at all times, you’re not old, you just need to change your diet. Figure out what you’re eating that’s doing that to you.
Everyone has different reactions and tolerances to different things. You need to know your own body.
We are deeply shaped by our upbringing, but not permanently imprisoned by it. The past explains us, but it does not define what we do next.
There’s a great book that goes into detail on this called ‘The Courage to be Disliked’. I highly recommend it.
In my opinion (and the position of Adlerian psychology) is that no experience (however painful) is in itself the cause of our current unhappiness. What constrains us is the meaning and goals we attach to those experiences. When someone says “I am this way because of my childhood,” the book would argue that this is often a story chosen to justify a present goal (for example, avoiding risk, intimacy, or responsibility), not an iron law imposed by the past.
Freedom begins when we separate “what happened to me” from “what I am choosing to pursue now,” and take responsibility for our own life tasks instead of living to meet others’ expectations. That is the “courage to be disliked”: accepting that if you start living according to self-chosen values rather than your upbringing’s scripts, some people may disapprove. Yet that is the price of genuine adulthood.
