What the hell is a “Galaxy F70”? How did I miss out on F1-69? As far as their phones are concerned, I only know of their Galaxy S series (flagship), A series (budget), and Z series (foldable).

en masse*

I mean you’re kinda right, because it’s literally French for “in mass”.

That’s a lock pick, not a key.

Also, Walmart doesn’t use physical keys anymore. It’s some sort of wireless thing like NFC.

I solved this problem by simply refusing to look at the clock when I get up in the middle of the night.

Even if it means every in once in a while the alarm goes off the second I lay back down, it’s still a worthwhile tradeoff to remove the anxiety of calculating in my head how much sleep I still have left to do.

Man do I really wish I had the money to take a vacation or even a staycation for my mental health…

Glad that works for you, but I refuse to stop masking because I will die lonely if I don’t play along. I don’t have any friends, but masking has allowed me to at least stay in a loving relationship for almost a decade bow, and if I lose her, I have nothing.

You do you, but this mask ain’t coming off. It’s the only thing keeping me sane.

Thanks for letting me know. YT Music Morphe is s league above YT Music ReVanced, which hasn’t gotten any new features in forever.

YT Morphe, on the other hand, only seems to be a marginal improvement. I don’t really notice much of a difference beyond minor improvements, even after combing through every setting. Return YouTube Dislike is still broken for Shorts, but at least the ads are gone again.

But anyway thanks again for telling me about it.

Gotcha.

So am I but I still force myself do it because I don’t want everyone to think I’m an asshole.

The worst part about things like this is when you try to have a conversation like this with your average friend/coworker/acquaintance/etc. they’re all like, “calm down; you’re overreacting”. I’m like, “no, fuck you; you’re underreacting! People DIED.”

Has anyone else over the age of 35 notice a major shift the past couple of decades regarding how little people care about literally anything? It’s like humanity as a whole have turned into emotional zombies. You can’t even say hi to strangers in public anymore. They just stare at you like, “who are you and why the fuck are you talking to me”? It’s so bizarre compared to how people used to be in the 90s and 2000s. Nobody even wants to make eye contact with anyone anymore, let alone wave as you pass each other down the street. Not unless you’re someone they know.

It’s as if people forgot how to communicate with each other outside of the internet… Is it just me? Maybe I just have a bitchy resting face. IDK. But anyway this YT Short perfectly exemplifies exactly want I mean. (Piped link)

I know but the point I’m making is that it’s not his fault. I mean the guy basically campaigned on being a centrist.

Hey, not arguing anything you said; in fact, I agree with all of it.

It’s just that there’s so much negativity in the world that I thought I’d point out the bright side of things.

I mean I quoted the part where they made it clear that they know exactly who they’re selling to…

It’s not the cameras that are the problem, however, it’s the companies behind them that I take issue with. It’s one thing to be spied on by a camera, it’s another thing when data collected from that camera feed is then sold to anyone who is buying. That’s what I have a problem with. The cameras themselves aren’t the issue.

On the bright side, I am happy that internet speeds and availability is good enough now that I pretty much never have to worry about storing music on my phone because unless I’m on vacation, streaming will work pretty much anyone I go.

Twenty years ago, this level of internet access was only possible in my dreams. Teenager me would be absolutely ecstatic to find out that in just a couple of decades, I will be able to go online anywhere I want without being tethered to a PC, and my phone bill will actually decrease over time too. I never thought I’d see the day where I could get unlimited talk, text, and 50 whole gigabytes of data for half as much as I’m paying for 300 minutes, 500 texts, and data that is charged by the megabyte in the 2000s. That’s one good thing about the modern era; phone bills have never been lower.

Well to* be fair, Obama only had control of both the senate and the house for his first 72 days. Enough time to get some things done, but not a lot.

But I agree that he could have done more with the power he did hold throughout his presidency, as Trump has shown. Obama could have went buckwild with the executive orders. But alas, hindsight is 20:20.

Over 70% of the country wants him gone, but from an outsider’s perspective, all they see is the fact that we voted him in.

It’s going to take a very long time to undo the damage caused by Trump. Nobody is ever going to trust the United States again, unless we put safeguards in place to ensure that someone like him can never gain this level of unchecked power ever again. And I just don’t see that happening in any of our lifetimes.

Prison guards make $55/hr, and I still wouldn’t give up my $21/hr job to work in a Vitamin D-deprived hellhole full of “customers” who hate you for merely existing.

Triple the pay, and maybe I’d consider it. Prison sucks.

“I personally have mixed feelings about all of this,” one small bookseller told tech news website 404 Media last week.

The bookseller explained that in April, he suddenly went from selling around 20 books per week to hundreds — including obscure and out-of-print works.

“It benefits me financially as well as by clearing out old inventory that is otherwise unlikely to sell,” he said. “I’ve been well suited for these sales with inventory from overseas and foreign language books. On the other hand, I don’t like the end-use, and I don’t like that uncommon books are being pulped.”

Then stop selling rare and out of print books to an AI company, you fucking doorknob.

Greed knows no bounds.
