I mean, I get it. I built the lineage OS Updates for my last phone myself when community support ended, and only replaced it last week after the screen broke. If it hadn’t, I probably would have replaced the battery, has kinda gone a bit bad after five years.

Still ordered a cheap tft screen that fits it (original amoled is too expensive to make sense) to be able to use it as a backup.

I bought new this time, but mainly because I needed a new phone quick. Also wanted one of the new Pixels with 7 year software support to put Graphene on, so I found an 8a for like 400€.

So yeah, fuck the throw-away attitude towards perfectly serviceable electronics.

Huh. Only ever used their printers and their ceramic knives.

Old Android is surprisingly … nostalgic.

What Android Version is that? I haven’t seen a notification look like that in forever.

Never liked that argument. It’s essentially “Why, don’t you like immigration, dummy? Don’t you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?”

I’m not saying it isn’t true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.

Seconded. Have been running it on both my main desktop and laptop for five years with no issues.

Morrisey became a real shithead later on, or maybe he just always was one, but I wouldn’t neccesarily interpret that one as pro the national front.

In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.

I’ve always used anti-abortion. Pro-life just isn’t an accurate descriptor, and a “pro-life protest”, or a “pro-life bill” seem like undeserved euphemisms considering what they want. Outlawing executions would be a pro-life bill.

Anti-choice is good too.

Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as as a dev, sometimes in rather ‘fancy’ office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.

I think so, yeah.

Well, I heard Alex Jones was super buff once upon a time, so I wanted to see. When I saw, I kinda wanted to show some friends who’d probably find it funny. And then we arrived here.

I can explain…

Looks fine and upright in Thunder.

They’re pretty easy to not engage with, and for me they felt less awkward than almost any other video game sex scene.

People always focus on the romances, but I feel like you could take them out completely and still have pretty much the same great game.

Sure, but I get what they mean. Sometimes you have a minority character that doesn’t very much seem to interact with the plot, nor has many discernable personality trait beyond being part of a minority.

Representation matters, but it should be done in a way that makes the characters actual people, not just a tick in a checkbox.

Apologies for being slightly tasteless, but - investigators reportedly heard food had allegedly been handled by an individual known to be ‘full of shit’ in a recent incident.

I’ve also got the cheapest possible pledge. Played the game with friends a bunch, was a lot of fun when it worked.

Honestly, I feel like I got my money’s worth. If it comes out, nice, if it doesn’t, oh well.

Sounds like a win win. Maybe I should work on getting more flexible.

It might be just because I’m relatively middle of the road bisexual, but I always liked the idea that most people aren’t quite on the extreme ends of the Kinsey scale, but like, a tiny bit bi at least.

I am definitely thankful for having a family that was very open about everything, and didn’t mind either way, though I do feel that the years spent not wanting to engage with the thought partially came down to pressure from peers, as anything other than heterosexuality seemed to be seen as alien back then. From what I hear from my brother, that actually changed a lot compared to when I was in school, and things are a lot more accepting now.

I’d take it as a reference to the stupid “What is a woman?” craze. Would assume the person shown is trans, or an ally.
