You were not.

 

I was on whatever team didn't have basically everyone marry the same people they went to high school with because that's kind of weird.

 

I was team Harry and anyone else other than Ginny.

 

I don't see why they couldn't have been together. I know everyone was shipping him and Ginny, but c'mon!

 

I didn't have a good reason to be that kind of kid, to be honest. I was just an ash hole. Of course, this would make my mother angry, and she would often verbally or physically abuse me. However, even though it was wrong, I think very few parents would know how to handle a child like me and be tempted to do the same. Usually I was cursing at her and yelling at her and calling her out of her name because she wouldn't let me do what I wanted. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I was an only child, my mother was a drug addict for the first 5 years of her life, and I didn't move into her house until I was 11.

To be honest though even reasonable requests like "don't touch your step-fathers xyz" were deliberately disobeyed. I use to climb in through her bedroom windows because my step father had books that I wanted to read, for instance. She caught me by putting a small piece of paper in her windowsill where it slid back and forth. He was very protective of his stuff, but I didn't give a crap. I remember her grounding me once and I tore of the screen of our apartment and just hopped out the window and went to a friends house who was a two hour walk away. I remember there was a park near where I lived that I was forbidden to go to, but I went to all the time anyway. She thought it was gang infested (it was) but I thought I'm old enough to do and go wherever the fuck I want. I can totally see my daughter being this way. Hopefully though, as a parent, I can reason with her. My mother never gave me a good explanation for why I could or couldn't do things, just listen to me god damn it, etc. For example I never knew she thought the park I was going often had gang violence and shootings there, in my experience nothing bad ever happened at the park.

Anyway, our relationship never got better until within the last year when she went on depression medications and I started taking adhd medications.

tl;dr I was a terrible kid, mom got angry with me a lot. Fuck you I do what I want.

 

Question: I've been turking for several years, but this fall is the first time I've really had trouble getting hits! I really think it started back in August, but these last two weeks have been cruddy. Is this happening with anyone else?

 

What scripts are you using? The people here recommend Hit Forker and Panda Crazy.

Are you using the same workflow that you used several years ago? If so that is your problem.

Developing for iOS is much easier. Google is also making things harder with every update of Android, plus they don't care about any devs. They are closing off more and more of the OS and forcing devs to do certain things to have their apps on the Play Store (mimicking Apple's practice). You can go your own way and not be on the Play Store, but good luck running a business like that. Then you have way more hardware to develop for and all these dumb carrier/manufacture restrictions from all the deals Google makes with them. Carriers won't allow updates to be pushed, so you then end up with multiple versions to support. There's a lot of positives to android, but developing for it is not one of them.

Also, Swift/C > Java. People that like working in Java are terrorists.

I've switched to Hit Forker. I really miss my original scraper, though. And for some reason, before I switched to Hit Forker, I was using MTS and it just scrapes.....and catches nothing. I've opened the settings, set it to either Master's OR qualified and also both. It was just not doing anything but scraping pages....that's why I switched to Hit Forker.

This is probably it. I need to change things up, figure out a new route, I guess.

I recently convinced Matt that he should do something nice for his mom to make up for how much he put her thru growing up. He said, "You're right. So, figure out what I should do for her and just use my card! THANKS!"

Soooooo, if anyone has any grand gesture mother ideas...I'm at a super loss.
