And don’t forget to use encrypted messenging apps like Signal.

And do your research into which apps, programs, etc have the best encryption.

Yep it’s the association for sure

But also a factor (for those that know) is that companies will pay for their ads to run to specific demographics of people based on the data that a advertising platform (Twitter, YouTube, Tinder, Facebook, etc) has gathered to determine specific things about you as a person.

It’s the whole concept behind targeted ads. You pay for eyes that will see it and are more likely to purchase your products due to that demographic data. Or at the very least, view your website for traffic that can be used to harvest more data about you so that it can be sold to other companies.

Of course they are, the pieces are super manly in the men’s games. Made of concrete for extra ruggedness and painted manly colors, nothing bright or cheerful as far as the eye could see. And the chairs they sit in are also super manly no comfort at all. All played on a manly tactical chessboard. /S

Seriously though this whole decision just screams “cruelty is the point” and no concept of equality.

As someone who grew up in rural Washington on the threshold of populated Washington, yeah shit gets pretty fucked really quick in those rural areas.

It was a really religious area as well so that really didn’t help. The local religious people have a strong belief in having as many children as possible as soon as possible. The running non-joke (because it’s common) about it is the first kid to turn 16 drives the 3rd van.

I had no idea that this was a hurdle that they’d have to jump over

It seems stupid to me that this wasn’t the case already

This really needs to pass

If I did a push up every time I thought about how I should be working out I’d be ripped.

I should really work out.

It would take quite a bit of energy to effect things on a global scale but it could cause some issues at a very local level.

Depending on price I might go for it

I did spend like $40 on a battery for a 10 year old laptop a few years ago so that I could keep using it for troubleshooting a remote network I setup up awhile ago because it’s cheaper than a new laptop.

Personally I’d see if you can find a new compatible battery not necessarily an OEM battery though as being new it’s probably going to last awhile.

I’m curious about their efficiency drop off if that’s what happens after 25 days.

Not it

In general I avoid fandoms for the most part anymore because of how toxic they became.

Occasionally I’ll dip my toes in a fandom but it usually like the community meme of walking in the door and everything is on fire.

The Owl House fandom is still pretty great though. But that’s a pretty openly queer fandom, so it’s the exception. Man I loved it’s representation of our community.

I feel you on that

I miss the days of sd slots, headphone jacks, and removable batteries.

Phone cameras are pretty good now though and the Xperia has a damn good one

Hell it even had a headphone jack

Not too mention what even is the point of getting a flagship?

The cameras are great on most phones, the specs are good enough for most people’s use case (call, text, social media).

Hell the last few years the consistently best rated phone camera by users has been the Pixel A series of phones. The budget Pixel phones.
