I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
Is it a popular opinion that people didn’t like Predator 2? Nearly everyone I know loves it. Not as much as the original mind you but they still love it and so do I.
The only one I can think of is Samsung Messages. I use it rather than Google Messages because I like the way that it handles custom notification tones for individual contacts.

It also talks about just setting your region again after the install to get the windows store working again. Most of the other bloat still stays away though.
Reminds me of the PC Master Race people that comment on Console related posts. Like, cool we get that you’re insecure about your platform of choice, we don’t need to be reminded.
The people in charge at Unity can’t just take over their customers project and boot the Devs out if they protest like Reddit did with Subreddits they protested for too long where they just banned the mods and took over the subs that had gone dark.
There’s way more control in the Devs hands in this instance but Unity seem to be trying to rely on the fact that it’s a massive pain in the ass to switch to a different engine mid development but that’s definitely not stopping some people from making the migration still.
Google is gradually introducing a new method for delivering targeted ads in Chrome that aims to bypass the controversy surrounding cookies by using browsing history instead. This...
I’d be concerned about the fact that you could live in a country where a law change could occur where suddenly the govt tells Google to keyword search people’s internet history on certain topics so they can start investigating and potentially prosecuting people.
You might not have anything to hide now but what you do that’s legal now might become illegal later, the US is a perfect example of that with all kinds of backwards BS happening there, abortion being a big example.
It’s shockingly become one of my favourite RPGs and that’s saying a lot. The story is quite original with a few really good twists but the characters are also all excellent.
Phone number or other contact info. Supposing you’re on good terms, they’re not someone you’re interested in romantically or the like (so none of the anxiety from that at least), what’s kept you from asking?...
There’s no real need if I already have them on socials and can chat them that way otherwise if they’re close enough friends and I feel like having their number would be more convenient, I usually give them my number first and they usually text me straight away or give me their number.
Edit - Sorry just noticed the “or other contact info” part.
I’m assuming you kinda want advice on the approach?
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election....
Too bad that when the North won, the South moved towards segregation with the Jim Crow laws because they were a bunch of racist shit headed sore losers.
It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for.

Definitely a USA thing since Comcast were mentioned.
Here in New Zealand I have a friend who uses his Mobile hotspot to connect his Xbox to it to play games online at no extra cost from the mobile provider.
So I’m a New Zealander and I have a pretty good idea on how the electoral college system works but it honestly sounds like something that can be easily corrupted and it feels like it renders the popular vote absolutely useless unless I’m totally missing something obvious?...
After reading that second link, it definitely seems like they’re saying the average citizens weren’t smart enough to decide who should be president lol.
I guess most other governments would never need a system like that given I don’t imagine there’s any other country in the world that is made up of as many States as the US.
We have an interesting electoral system in NZ called MMP which is essentially a first across the post system so even if a party gets more votes than anyone else, it they didn’t get enough to cross the post/finish line, they don’t win and so a coalition can be formed by smaller parties that got less votes to get across the finish line and therefore the country is then run by multiple political parties.
The anti-Trump protester arrived at the Prettyman federal courthouse in Washington D.C. and proceeded to start begging bystanders to help him escape a prison sentence for his alleged conspiracy to defraud the United States and illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
All the Republican/Trump supporters I’ve ever met here in New Zealand (why? Who the hell knows)are batshit crazy. Most of them Christians too surprise surprise.
I never said I was comfortable with it, but you clearly missed the point I was making.
Worry about what data is being harvested in your own country where a law change can suddenly put you in danger of being arrested before worrying about China having some of your data.
Is it bad how much data the Chinese govt get from you using apps like Tik Tok or phones made by Huawei? Sure, but the threat is a lot closer to home than you think as this article shows.

Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
This seems like a good place so far tbh
joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex
I’m tired about reading about reddit here....
