Na mate, albo said he’s disappointed. What more could you want the leader of the country to do?

Such a useless cunt.

What’s the go if you have black hair but super pale eyes in that kind of system?

Used to buy one every two years or so, either to upgrade or they had failed in some way. Used to spend $1000+ on them too, which is ridiculous looking back with how often they broke.

Had a $2000 phone stop charging and they refused to service it without a huge fee and shipping it oversees. (Asus for anyone wondering. I’ve fully gone off the brand since then. Very overpriced with terrible customer service.)

I was waiting for a call back after a job interview so I went and bought whatever cheap phone I could get and ended up with an oppo. That was in 2019 and it’s still going perfectly fine. Phones haven’t innovated at all since then and with how much they cost I kind of just don’t care to upgrade.

It’s the main problem in this recent development, but not the main issue with Boebert by a long shot. I still think it’s fair game for discussion, and I’m so far down the queer acronym that I’m usually just part of the +

I think it’s a fair critique to make when it’s from someone who is historically both homophobic and anti-feminist, it’s pointing out the hypocrisy.

I used a sample id from the WA DoT that had a picture of Mr bean and the name “Sam s sample” on discord and it worked perfectly. Didn’t work for Reddit, but I’ve stopped using Reddit anyways. VPN works for porn.

Every time I hear about a pixel release it’s something being downgraded from the previous versions lol

A lot of the ghost kitchens I’ve encountered are three or four different “restaurants” with one guy working. The food is 90% deep fried frozen stuff, and the stuff they do cook tastes bad or is really average quality at best in my experience. If they get enough bad ratings they close that one and start a new one with an identical menu but a new name and uber doesn’t care.

Some of them are even real restaurants that had bad ratings so they run a shop with a different menu out of their kitchen. An Indian place near me has 2.4 stars which is the lowest I had ever seen - until they started a pizza shop out of the same kitchen and got down to 1.9.

Maybe some are good, but I’ve never encountered a good one in my city. There’s no accountability, and it leads to lower standards.

Are people still fans of corporations these days?

I stopped buying Google hardware after I got the pixel 2. It was an amazing phone, had an incredible camera. Really wanted to upgrade when the 4 was coming out so I started following the release news and noticed that they were putting previous generation processors in the 4 - like, previous to what was already in the 2. The camera was worse, the storage was smaller etc. killed my hype for it.

Then before the 5 was released, my 2 stopped charging and it was out of warranty so they wanted more money to repair than it would cost me to buy a phone from another manufacturer. Bought something else and never looked back.

I also had a Google Home at the time and it was one of the most frustrating tech experiences I’ve ever encountered.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they brick the tablets now that they don’t care about the product anymore.

Saw him live in Perth at his old University when I was a teen and it was amazing. My parents were ultra religious and shitty about it so a lot of his songs resonated lol. Was my political awakening.

As if anyone is going to see that money.

I genuinely believe it would be a net positive for the world if he died.

Idk, but I’m over them and all “smart” tech so it’ll need to be a vast improvement. I’m going backwards. Nothing fucking works right anymore. And everything is enshittified into a subscription or just full to the brim with ads. Usually both.

Started storing my media locally on a NAS. Bought a new MP3 player recently. Getting wired headphones and a dug out my old iPod dock because it’s so hard to find a speaker with aux input. Apparently brands consider that to be a luxury feature and only put it in the top of the line models if at all. My Sonos speakers all bricked themselves with the app or are so much trouble to get working every time I want to listen to music that I don’t bother anymore. Never getting anything without at least having a backup wired connection and offline mode.

Got a retro Gameboy emulator when the switch two came out - I’m not buying an identical console just because the company decided to squeeze me by software locking the games to the new console. They got me back in the day with the 3DS too. Anything I can’t play on that, I can play on PC.

My current smart phone is 7 years old and when it goes I’m either getting something simple without Android or going full dumb phone. I have an old digital camera that I actually just dug out of storage and charged the battery last night to see if it still works. If not I’ll be replacing it with another so I don’t need a phone to have a camera. My partner is looking into getting a handheld SBC instead of a phone for his next device.

It’s not even a good threat. Like, do you know how much we hate you? Go if you’re not going to make it worth it to have you around. We’ll be better off.

Do you want the algorithm:

🔳enabled

🔳enable only necessary

☑️enable custom

-insert checklist so long you have to scroll to see all the options, and you have to untick them one by one to actually turn the algorithm off. And it pops up every time you go back to the website if you didn’t tick “enabled”

There’s a reason the right is constantly seeking to make schools worse and good education harder to access.

Yeah but it’s expected for them, this would truly signal the fall of America as we know it. The President only running twice is like one of the things with America.

It’s bad already, but if Trump steps down or the rest of the government finally does something about him and prevents him from running, then it’s just business as usual clicking that ratchet to the right. If he’s allowed to run again or keeps the presidency that’s the signal that the ratchet has reached the end.

As a non American I’m very excited to see what happens with the 2028 election when Trump runs again
