Fuck. I got free internet for almost 5 years. So many AOL discs. 01, 02? Friend’s dad had a T1 connection put into their house for his work. The difference between T1 and the 56k I had at home? At home walk out the room, have a smoke, maybe ⅔ a boob loaded. At buddy’s house, that’s when I realised that the internet had the potential to change everything. Whole boob before you could even stand up.

Kids these days. No appreciation for how much struggle it used to be. Everything just. Just there. No bork the only computer in the house because boob.exe.

No

I’ve never hated my life more than right now…

What matters is if everyone else has the will and ability to keep bad people in check and hold them accountable.

Well said.

The grifters in charge need no other motivation than a sense of superiority and an opportunity to make a buck.

That’s why corruption is an issue in every political system that we’ve tried, that contains more than a few thousand people.
Always seems like the people who want to be in power, shouldn’t be…and those that should want nothing to do with it…

I think I heard something about easing trade barriers between Ontario and I think it was either Saskatchewan or Manitoba.

I feel this. I would love to see Russia, China and India…but there’s not a chance that I would knowingly give my money to those regimes. Not even through participating in their economy for half a week.

30+ years!

…fuck off, '94 wasn’t 30… counts on fingers several times

…Shit…

Why would the actively make search worse to try and drive engagement time?

American kept the worst bits of British culture when they broke up, but they’re still really good pals and feel like they should trade ideas back and forth all the time. Hope that the Cheeto pulling a Fascist coup puts a bit of separation between them.

Never stops being true.

Goddamn, Luigi… You a cold motherfucker

90% of the people I know who use kindle products all OTA their purchases to their device. If they have “illicit” books on their devices, I put them there.

I think the disappointment probably came about 5 minutes after unboxing, and news of the shut down would be more relief than disappointment

I’ve got the Honor Magic V3, it’s the 2 panel version of the OP device. I’ve had it for 6 months now, no complaints so far. I’m a stone mason, loooooots of super fine dusts of varying degrees of caustic. I got a slightly more robust case than what came with it, and I’m a bit more careful about what pocket I keep it in. I’ve dropped it over a dozen times, and mangled the hinge on one case already. But like you, I’ve had regular phones start failing around now, and this one is still fine. I feel like the first and 2nd gen foldables were where most of the kinks were worked out, and now they’re only slightly more delicate in very specific ways compared to a regular slab phone.

Americans would still get confused. Refer to ⅓lb>¼lb burger, flopped because Muricans claim weird fraction math for length is superior…yet still cannot fraction their way out a wet paper bag…

And when the top tier of the Judicial Branch is already the Fascist’s lapdog?

Did it ever?

America signed the Rome Statutes, but never ratified it, and eventually withdrew entirely. They wield “international law” like a whip, but don’t subscribe to it themselves. America is the epitome of rules for thee and none for me.

What’s wrong with that? Nothing horrific has been perpetrated in the past by people who were “just following orders”…

Fucking Autoassume…I’m leaving it because it’s fucking funny 🤣

At first I had assumed you’d look at my profile and were making a topical joke. I’m a Stone Mason, and I work in Conservation. So, this is incredibly fun/funny and I’m absolutely here for it!
