    There is a great dirt track about 20 minutes from me! I'd love to go every weekend but $45 per person is expensive.

    Pre-installed, yes mine had pre-installed. I don't know anything that doesn't have pre-installed bloatware. What the OP was complaining about was their phone randomly installing unwanted apps after they bought it. Mine has never installed an app without me telling it to. For the bloatware I just disabled it until I'm comfortable using ABD on a new phone.

    I have a S21 FE unlocked on AT&T in the USA by the way.

    It's carrier based. I've had Samsung phones almost exclusively and as long as I buy unlocked I never get unwanted apps.

    Copy/paste (and a small edit) from a previous comment of mine on another community:

    Winter. By far. No bugs to fly in my face. No sweat to make me mad. No yard work. And everything seems much quieter. Oh, I can’t wait! The jackets and blankets hug me! I like to snuggle in but in the summer it’s impossible. Although, I love my veggie garden…

    I've been lucky. My medicaid hasn't been affected but my brother's has been cancelled twice for earning too much. Both of the problems came from the same month. He fixed it both times but they seem hell bent on kicking him off.

    Indiana sucks. But I have to give credit to the Medicaid. When it works it's great.

    We called it tubing or canoeing. Find a slow river and some alcohol drop in and just float. Be sure to have someone downstream to pick you up. Also, don't even try to swim in the Ohio River. I was young drunk and stupid.

    Edit: Forgot to mention this is Southern Indiana.

    Along that train of thought, how about mental or even just generalized support until the community grows.
