☂️-

yay, big win! :)

that’s not low key at all. living the dream.

and 13419 miles.

tbf the stereotype of young people being happier and more active and carefree has to do with the societal expectations involved with the age too, at least on my experience.

i don’t think anything says we couldn’t ease up as a society with trying to make everyone miserable for a change.

the worst part is that there are plenty of examples of older phones that achieved high IP ratings while also being more repairable. they just gaslight us into accepting it.

(also obligatory 🐧)

eh, they are already making the parts anyway. just make them available on order or something, not ideal but acceptable. beats forcing consumers to take a leap of faith for a product that looks pretty clearly to be disposable.

being existentially afraid of new tech instead of excited for the possibilities is a terribly capitalist problem to have.

and let’s hope you don’t get to have any woman in your life you can dump your misogyny on.

though i have a suspicion we are thankfully covered on this one.

ooo love playing with displays.

whaddya got in mind for that juicy e-ink?

a lot of things neurodivergents do, neurotypicals do too.

it’s the intensity and obssession that differentiates it sometimes.

stop reading my mind, tyvm.

ive actually just been sifting through the mountains of data i accumulated over the better part of a decade, or more.

and let me tell you, a lot of these i actually followed up through on! turns out you do come back to it later in other ways and don’t even notice you made a lot of progress until you come back to The Archives™

overwhelming at first but deleting a lot of old shit has never felt so good. like doing a big spring cleaning on my mind.

hoping the story here ends more like vietnam than afghanistan though.

that too

oh so that’s why democrats say they are “left wing”!

i’m sure they are a part of it

Humans are not meant to sell their bodies.

they aren’t but they all do anyway, me and you included. if i had a daughter living well from sex work, i’d be happy for her over having a minimum wage job that doesn’t afford a decent life.

i’m not morally opposed to sex work, much grosser jobs to have. like cop, or lawyer.

you will have to help me with all these acronyms.

iirc japanese has entire vocabulary and mannerisms for formal vs casual settings. higher or lower ranking. and it shows in their culture.

it’s kind of mindblowing how language itself can shape culture, not just vice versa. the powerful even uses this to their advantage.

housing.

for most, at least. and utilities. the rest can probably be unlocked/hacked/pirated into working without one.

i don’t think he cares all that much
