Being a republican means you never have to admit you’re wrong. You just live in a whole other universe where chemtrails turn the frogs gay, and Trump is an innocent, Christ-like patriot.
I kind of agree… I’ve been around these things, and they are incredibly stupid.
I guess I’d draw the line around them purely because in western culture these are pets… But I think practically speaking these are a lot better than actual pigs, which are very intelligent.
We have very strange eating habits when you really think about it.
Can /c/fuckcars go back to their space now, please? I’ve blocked you annoying people for a reason… I love biking and public transport, but no… I’m not selling my car.
Absolutely nothing good came from them ending the Nexus program. I LOVED all the variety in Nexus. The Pixel phones are just shitty iPhone clones with barely better features.
Amazon has created a new rule limiting the number of books that authors can self-publish on its site to three a day, after an influx of suspected AI-generated material was listed for sale in recent months....
Man, I have no interest in a handheld… I just don’t get the appeal there. I have a handheld already, it’s my phone. I want the next nintendo creation to bring me back to wii bowling, and that sort of crazy cool stuff.
Instead, the last console brought us worse controllers that cramp your hands, and lack innovative design.
Ah yes, because women’s healthcare is considered contraversial by Republicans. The grand majority of Planned parenthood’s services are focused on cancer screenings and STI treatment and prevention.
They almost exclusively treat those who can’t afford mainstream healthcare. While some men use the services, women make up 87% of those who receive care.
The twisted people who target this organizion are evil.
It seems more fair to say we shouldn’t buy Unity games a few years from now. Some games may be closer to completion, and they may have gone through years of development.
Wait, your landlords actually paint stuff? I’ve had a giant white plastered hole in my wall for years that mine refuses to paint. He always says he will, he just never does.
Lol, what? You can make fun of us. We’re pretty fucking funny… But like, in a sad, defeated kind of way… Like, we’re sleeping in the gutter and pretending we’re fine, but at least we are looking at all those stars.
We don’t need to move. This is fine. We’re fine. Fuck off, we’re fine. You can’t help us, anyway.
You should be ashamed of yourself. Many wonderful people live in this country. We have so much to do - and yes, we are plagued by many horrors - but we persevere.

IPhone users can’t do this. It’s actually only available on Android. I was surprised to find this out earlier this year.
I have some friends who think they are superior because they can use ichat… It’s pretty sad. Like… Oh no, I’m a green chat box. I guess I’ll cry into Revanced and Firefox for mobile. Plus, even if I had an iPhone, I’d still be using Signal.
I wonder if it’s admin abuse at the corporate level. I experienced a few very strange situations on Reddit that simply never made sense.
I got permabanned from /r/politics for using the word “retardation”, despite the fact I was using the technical/scientific definition of the term (the action of delaying or slowing the progress or development of something.) , and specifically referring to the entire US political instution.
I told the mods this is a word in the English language that is often used outside the denegratory sense, and that I was clearly not in any way targeting those with special needs. They called me “ableist” in response (“that word is ableist and there are no exceptions.” )
Like… Wtf? I used to literally hang out and defend special needs kids regularly back when I went to public school. But sure… I guess I’m ableist. The entire situation simply made no sense. I had contributed heavily to that sub over many, many years. I get the impression they were looking for a reason to get rid of me.
Real talk, if you think either is unacceptable, and you like telling other people about this, then people 100% think you’re a douchebag. Myself included.
Google doesn’t really compete in the professional space, though. Adobe does, and we need these tools for a huge number of reasons. When I first started seeing webp’s, I kept trying to use them in projects and was unable. I was passing them through online converters for a little bit before realizing there was a plugin.
I don’t care which one wins, or which one is more heavily adopted… I just want to see ALL of those in my tools I need for my job.
Downloading third party apps is the single biggest advantage I’d argue android has over iOS. This is highly practical - for example, I get zero ads on YouTube, and it even skips the sponsored content. This is free to everyone on Android. You have to pay Google’s troll toll if you want half of that on iOS (you cannot pay to skip the sponsored stuff.)
You can also easily, and safely install Roms on Android. This extends support for old hardware out, and gives full control over just about every single aspect of your phone.
Additionally, unless something changed recently, Firefox doesn’t have extensions on iOS still. This means you can’t use vital plugins looks ublock origin to block ads like you do on your computer.
Next we have one of my favorite features - swapping the entire launcher. You can’t do that on iOS, but on Android you can easily switch between really creative and interesting layouts in seconds.
There’s a lot of other things Android can do that IOS can’t (multiple user accounts, simultaneously running multiple instances of the same app, multi tasking apps in split screen, advanced keyboards that have gifs and such built in, direct and full access to the storage via usb, changing the default system apps, etc.), but the above are the practical ones I use daily.
Safari is extremely limited, and web developers are starting to hate it. For example, the latest wepm video type that’s been out for years doesn’t work on Safari. It’s the only viable format for making videos small enough to not impact performance.
As such, iPhone and Mac users often don’t have the same web experience as literally every other Browser. Not many people know this, but now you do!
