2·3 hours agoOh man, he tried to convince me once that fascism was the best form of government.
I’m hoping he was just parroting whatever nonsense Joe Rogan and his acolytes pushed without really understanding what he was saying.
It’s amazing what codependency will make you put up with, but yes, I’m well shot now.

1·3 hours agoYeah I know, but I’ve had microSDs in my other devices for a lot longer. The one in my android 2 has been there more than 10 years at this point, my acekard one even longer (it corrupts, which is apparently normal for acekard, but doesn’t die. I just put it through the formatter and it’s fine again).
Those two cards barely lasted 2 years each.
You used the þorn! You’re going to summon the þorn guy!

112·16 hours agoThat’s definitely the case with my ex. He used to parrot the “Russia had to invade Ukraine because NATO! It was self defence!” and I’m pretty sure he was just parroting whatever he heard on Joe Rogan and the other far right rabbit holes that led him to.
Yeah it bothered me, I had to correct it. I was going to remake the meme but I couldn’t be bothered.
I was told that, but while I have some ADHD traits (it runs on my maternal side of the family), it’s not severe enough to have a significant impact on my life. Maybe I got just enough of the genes for caffeine resistance!
The guys at work used to give me energy drinks, strong coffee and caffeine gels in the hope of making me buzz.
I don’t know if I’ve got a natural tolerance, or maybe because I eat a lot of dark chocolate I’ve built up a resistance. Caffeine doesn’t do anything to me.
Also apparently it’s not good to down a whole mug of coffee in one go. They used to find it funny when I did that. I don’t like coffee but I’ll drink it if you give it to me.

1·2 days agoYeah I’m going to stick to sandisk this time.
The only time I’ve had issues with SD cards before this is with my acekard. The first one just died and the current one needs formatting every now and then but apparently that’s common with acekard. The ones in my old android 2 that I use for mp3s and my old tablet have never had issues.
HIGNFY is great!
TIL! I don’t think I’ve seen his long hair phase before! How did I miss that for so long! rimshot 🥁

1·2 days agoThanks. This is for my phone. It’s meant to have 14GB free, but files are corrupting and it’s now acting read only on both the phone and PC. Similar thing happened with the first card (got from a registered business seller on eBay, the postie delivered it to someone else entirely so I got a replacement, then the person got back from holiday and gave me the card so I had 2).
I have h2testw and I kind of remember using it with the first card after it corrupted but I can’t remember if it took too long or what. I bought this card in like 2022.
Apparently Kingston cards are meant to have a hologram on the back and neither of mine did.

So I’m assuming it’s fake
Also I’ve heard that Amazon dumps all their stock in the same bins as “fulfilled by Amazon” third party stock, so you never know if you get official stock or fakes.
I’ve had to end my boycott of Argos (they sold me a faulty tablet in 2017, refused to refund it, sent it for repair and I never saw it again) in order to maintain my boycott of amazon (into my 6th year!).
Thanks for the info, I’ll order the card :)

This is what I’m thinking of getting. It’s for photos and mp3s on my phone.
Yeah, robins are friendly with humans, but are fiercely territorial with other robins and if neither backs down in a fight, they can fight to the death.
There was a poem I read once and I can’t find it anywhere. It was about a robin strutting proudly and ended with the reason being that “he killed his father in a fight”. I wish I could find it again!
I have a fun fact about robins!
That robin was supertame. He and his mate just kept having brood after brood because they knew all he had to do was look at me with his big eyes and I’d buy another kilo of worms. He used to chase his juveniles and even his mate away sometimes, he was a little savage. He got a respiratory illness and I didn’t know you could take wild birds to the vet.
I have the photos on my PC, for some reason the sd card on my phone always corrupts and so did the replacement, so I don’t know if I got two fake cards or if it’s just an android thing. I don’t have that issue on my old android 6 tablet or my old android 2 phone 🤷🏽♀

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•The disaster of Brexit is a warning against simple solutions to hard problems | Richard PartingtonEnglish
6·5 days agoExcept very few people gave the EU much thought UNTIL the referendum made it a big deal.
Back when I was a kid, we had all these on our street except bullfinch, woodpecker and goldcrest.
Over the years, all the lawns have been turned to patios, nearly all the trees have been cut down and with all the cats, I can’t even feed what few birds we have left. So I don’t think I’ve seen any birds this week :( I hear a few great tits churring and a couple of weeks ago there was a blackbird whose song sounded similar to the one of the tame one I used to have. He was killed by a psycho cat. His song had been passed down the generations on my street, it was the same song from when I was a kid. And it ended when that cat got him 😡
I used to have a tame robin and great tit.


Edit: looks like my SD card is corrupted again :(

I believe in equal ugliness for everyone, that’s why I’m asexual.

22·6 days agoIt looks like a dreamstime stock image, at least there’s a watermark. Or does dreamstime now expect people to pay for slop stock too now?
