I didn’t even know they made phones.

But they couldn’t pay me enough to use one.

Dramatic much? Canceling a subscription is ‘the unthinkable’ now? For fuck’s sake.

Ha,

let me

try that as well!

Thank you!

Thank you, I’ve had the same issue before and had no idea how to fix it.

Let’s

test

it.

Ha, yay!

Wow, yours is a bit older than mine. Hopefully mine will keep functioning that long as well! I don’t honestly think it’ll break down any day now, but you never know. Things are known to happen, and when they do happen it’s always at the most inconvenient of times! Also, my computer is very heavily used, every day. Lots of games too.

I was surprised about my phone. I don’t even know how many times I dropped it already and the battery is still good enough to survive an entire day. Truly, I dread getting a new one. I always hate having to figure out the settings, downloading and installing every thing, and configuring the thing exactly the way I want to. If it were up to me I’d keep using the same one forever, but I doubt even my stubborn phone will outlast me. ;)

True enough, my previous phone I kept until my banking app stopped working (my very, very old version of android was no longer supported) and my current phone is from 2019. I don’t think people need new phones/tablets/computers every year.

However… eventually I’m going to be needing a new computer. My desktop is about 6 years old now. And if it broke down right now, I don’t even know if I could afford to build a new one, unless I build one that’s worse than the one I currently own - and probably way more expensive than it was years ago (the RAM price alone is insane already).

And my phone won’t last another 6 years either. Although, who knows, it might. It seems indestructible so far, lol.

Multi-purpose dildos!

I highly doubt it. All evidence so far points to most Americans either shrugging or actively supporting this and a minority of Americans either complaining about it but doing nothing or organizing yet another lawful protest that’s not going to change anything.

Trump has been getting away with everything, because Americans accept it. And yes, I know, it’s not every individual American, but as a whole… they do accept his crap. He wouldn’t still be president otherwise.

Fucking hell.

This was an execution.

Homeland defense? Are they saying they’ll be fighting their own people even more than they already are?

Yeah, seriously, the media are so complicit in all this.

Killing people in the street, kidnapping people from their cars, detaining kids and documented immigrants, raiding homes without warrants, dragging people out of their homes in their underwear in sub-zero temperatures, not letting lawmakers inside concentration camps, the fact that there are concentration camps at all, etc… that’s what people are protesting and those things are not ‘enforcement.’

Fair, it’s not a new term. I was born in the 80’ies, I’m familiar with the concept.

However, it’s now being used with new bullshit meaning (i.e. going outside the Google/Apple app and their own offered selection), and media are normalizing this use.

You know, it’s very possible, because I’ve never actually read an entire EULA, I don’t think.

Ah, the “if you’ve done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear”-people. They’re a fun bunch indeed.

You are absolutely right!

You’re right. But it seems worse than that somehow. I’ve seen many people say they support the death penalty because it keeps other people safe, to “remove” murderers from society and such. But it’s so disingenuous.

We can already remove dangers from our society, in less… final ways. We can lock them up, or have them admitted to institutions in cases of mental health issues. We can rehabilitate them whenever possible, which also removes the danger.

But no, that’s not good enough. These people think they absolutely have to die. They want other people to be murdered by the state. They want it so much that they are willing to sacrifice a bunch of innocent people to satisfy their own bloodlust.

It’s worse than ignoring it, it’s actively seeking it out for their murderous desires.

I fucking hate that word. It’s not ‘sideloading’ to install on my own device what I want to install, to use the apps I want to use; to not use the apps I don’t want to use. I am not ‘sideloading’ anything when I install programs on my PC. No different on my phone.

Fuck off with all these new bullshit terms that are only used to imply that what we’re doing (with our own devices) is somehow outside the norm, to justify the constant enshittifcation and the growing stranglehold these corporations want on our lives. It’s infuriating.

That’s such a weird thing to say, as well, because when innocent people are being killed by the state there is no justice. I often wonder if people even think about what they’re saying, or if they’re just regurgitating shit they heard somewhere.

The cost of justice is… injustice? Make it make sense.

No, that person would be delusional until he can find enough other people who believe the same thing to become a religion. :p

Don’t get me wrong, I think religious people are delusional. It’s just that society doesn’t treat them that way, because we have somehow convinced ourselves that mass delusions are special.

Anyway, it’s clear we pretty much agree except on the definition of the word ‘religion.’ Shall we just leave it at that? ;)

See and we differ in this. In my eyes I would be delusional.

Something becomes a religion when the delusion reaches some kind of critical mass where it’s suddenly accepted and legitimized; where the followers are suddenly no longer laughed at like the village idiot, but taken seriously and protected by society because for some reason ‘we should respect every religion;’ where the organization suddenly gets tax breaks and political power.

The delusional get ridicule, or maybe medications. The organized delusional get religious exemptions and their own public holidays. Village idiots aren’t dangerous. Millions of them organizing, well, there’s christianity.
