Wait, you mean I have to manually activate a series of levers, linkages and mechanism?
Outrageous!

I do concede this vital functionality should be in a quick-access menu for ease of access, on the "additional" page of the "traditional controls" submenu in the "car functions" dashboard.

Wups, wrong comment

Seems like her initial reaction is from the gut with love and support.
And then maybe she searches and "researches" the topic and starts spouting bullshit, and doesn't have the appropriate social filters.

All I really wanted from her was understanding, but she just gave me a lot of self-doubt and sadness instead.

Feel free to call her out on these things. Highlight the instances where she has initially been supportive, and then u-turned into harmful communication.
Ultimately, this is about communicating these scenarios with her. Hopefully she can modify her behaviours.
I know I have changed my behaviour significantly when people have done that with me, and I have noticed the same with my parents when I call them out on things.
It's just human.

It's possible that she has undiagnosed conditions.
Might be that you notice some markers of this when talking to her about your concerns.

Or it's possible that she is researching in the wrong way and in the wrong places (maybe a "mom group" which is actually a toxic environment).
Which will also become apparent when discussing the topic ("you said you thought I might have autism last night, but this morning you said I was lazy. I'm trying to figure this thing out and you have a perspective on my life I don't. Saying one thing that validates my concerns, then saying a hurtful opposite thing less than 12 hours later both makes me seriously doubt myself and my experiences and makes me feel really unloved and unsupported. Why did you change your tune?" sort of thing).
At which point you have to decide if you:
want to try and correct their news/research sources;
accept that they will prioritise their shitty "research" over their actual experience - basically not rely on them for support and disregard their opinion, but still love them;
or cut them out of your life.

There is also the possibility that she is toxic, but her initial support comes from biological "love and support".
You don't owe her anything, and - if through communication about the issue - you figure out she is toxic, then it's fine to reduce/eliminate your reliance/relationship/contact with her.

Ultimately, her opinion doesn't matter. She isn't a psychologist or a medical doctor. If you think something is wrong, you need to talk to people that have studied the subject.
Talk to a professional, and keep going until you feel heard. Don't give up until you feel heard and understood.

It's pretty much just does it.
Default settings are good.
I think you can dial in stricter block lists, but might have issues with some websites.
But you can pause PiHole for 5 minutes, allowing you to do what you need to. I think there is even browser plugins to give you an easy toggle button

If there is ever a way to continue any process without agreeing to terms, services, data processing etc: that's my default action.
I'm not going to check a checkbox unless the form forbids me from continuing without checking it - at which point, I figure out what the checkbox wants

I empathise by I don't sympathise.

Have you considered a doctorate?

Is it possible police found the gun nearby the shooting, but never made the evidence public?
I ask because I don't know the intricacies or timeline of the shooting/hunt/arrest/detainment.

Publicising that "someone just killed a CEO with a 3d printed gun, you found the gun and you have no further evidence" might inspire a lot of copycats.

Btw, it's "Eavesdropping".

An eavesdropper was someone who would hang from the eave of a building so as to hear what is said within.

The first draft is fun.
The second draft is pain.
The third draft is cathartic.

Figure out features, add add add.
Add/change features, realise the spaghetti mess and poor design decisions you made in the first draft.
Clean everything up with better design and code.

Yup. parseInt is for strings.
Math.floor, Math.ceil, Math.round or Math.trunc are for numeric type "conversions" (cause its still a float)

You are probably underestimating your abilities.
People that worry about overestimating their skills mostly underestimate their skills.

If someone says they are "good" at something, I take it to mean competency and some enthusiasm.
They might make a mistake, but they won't (or at least will rarely) make it twice.
They know how to find the solution to something within that domain of knowledge. It might not be the best solution, but it will be a solution that works.
They are also aware of what they don't know in within the domain. So, they can do C++ but know they can't do embedded programming. Or they can do C#, but know they can't do game dev.

And I would take them at their word for that, until they prove otherwise.
If they are below where they claim their skill is, I would try to help them learn (unless they show no interest in improving).
If they are above where they claim, I would tell them this.

It's always hard to judge our own skills.
