I have been slowly transitioning away from mainstream social media. I’ve been using Linux since 2008, and in my free time, I enjoy reading stories on AO3, especially set in the Human Domestication Guide universe.

    An Eos has a 1,500kg rated towing capacity. How big was the caravan? Seems kind of dangerous, but I’ve definitely seen people with worse towing setups. 😂

    My RV is 8,000 pounds dry (3,600kg). I wanted a smaller truck for better gas mileage, but I wouldn’t have been able to tow with it, as they were mostly rated at about 5,500 pounds (2,500kg).

    Maybe I’m an outlier, but I bought a used 2011 Tundra with 230k miles on it for $7k. It’s the base model, bone stock except for replacing the broken radio and I use it to tow the RV I live in and transport my ebike that’s the size of a moped or small motorcycle.

    I’m also non-binary and stuck some cutesy cat stickers on my back window. 😂 The idea of spending over $50k on a truck is just insane. I found the original dealer window sticker in the glove box and mine sold for $21k new in 2011.

    I live in Texas and pass these huge lifted trucks with the super wide-set tires and always wonder how they can even load anything into the bed. And if MY truck gets 17-18mpg on a good day, what is THEIR monstrosity getting? 😭

    I once had to follow someone to church camp in high school. It was 100+ miles away, and she started doing 90 on the highway in her BMW. Meanwhile in my rickety KIA Spectra, I could barely do 65. She lost us, and I had to have someone else I was giving a ride to call her to get the address.

    She got pulled over and ticketed, and still made it there before me.









  • I had a Fairphone 4 with iodéOS before the microphone broke. And the microphone isn’t repairable… 🙃

    Now I’m on a Pixel 9a with GrapheneOS. Just set it up today but it’s been pretty smooth thus far. I’m on Tello (T-Mobile network), and I was even able to get RCS connected within Google messages after following some advice I found.



  • I was arguing with my mom a few weeks ago because she was spouting racist anti-immigrant bullshit randomly, and I told her to stop watching Fox News.

    She said, “I don’t watch Fox News anymore. They’re propaganda. I switched to NewsMax.”

    ಠ_ಠ

    I honestly hope they destroy and bankrupt each other. We literally can’t mention politics anymore or else it will turn into a shouting match, because she is so brainwashed and propaganda-addled and gets angry when I literally back myself up with evidence that I show her right then. We even had to come up with a safe word if we get close so we don’t start yelling.
