Oh, god. I remember how it ran on a stripped down gingerbread ROM lol.

I gave up and bought a new phone after that.

"I don't really get why people get so up in arms about discussing it, but Sex is fun. Be careful though, those swimmers are persistent little fuckers."

"Drugs feel good and you think everything is fine until one day you look up and realize it all went wrong years ago. I can't stop you, but I really hope you'll choose not to try them."

I think both worked out well. I'm sex positive and I generally avoid drugs because it just isn't worth the risk of finding that one substance that totally ruins my life.

I think it varies a lot by the user. I think (hope) most people are just joking, but I'm sure we have a number of people who aren't joking.

But also keep in mind we absolutely have propaganda bots and trolls here. They're quite good at directing the hivemind, even without the assistance of complete loons.

It depends. I think it's definitely less common here because it just isn't needed most of the time. Even a working class retiree should have a pension or 401k, social security, and some kind of savings from their life as a working adult.

To require the support of your children, you'd have to be unable to work, not entitled to substantial amounts of social security, not have paid into a retirement plan, and not have saved any money from when you did work.

I know a couple of people who support their parents, and they either spend their ENTIRE lives in poverty making sub-minimum wage (which is pretty uncommon), or they just straight up blew all their money because they assumed their kid would take care of them. I don't have a lot of sympathy for the second category.

Many of them, yes. They're among the most radical of the leftist instances, which means that they attract a lot of propagandists and tankies. They have some perfectly reasonable people too, but you know, vocal minority. Its the main thing most people notice about those instances.

Many people block hexbear, Lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad for these reasons.

While I agree with you in principle, work may not be that easy to come by.

I used to live ~6 miles from the nearest business. If I had to pick between endangering other people and being thrown out on the street, the choice is obvious. I imagine most people will make the same choice when it comes down to it.

Hey, I'm a banker. Obviously, credit unions are smaller businesses than a large bank. If you haven't used a small bank before, note that it is different.

But the biggest thing that I can think of you may not expect is that credit unions are not insured the same as a bank. Some may be insured adequately for your needs, or they may not. Do your homework.

Prions are misfolded proteins that misfold other proteins they contact. They're much harder to kill with heat or sanitizer and pretty much always fatal.

What is your budget and needs? Used thinkpads from a certain time period are very hardy, but they're getting old enough now for performance to be an issue for anything beyond basic web browsing and word processing.

Framework also makes laptops with the explicit goal of being more repairable. Even if you decide not to work on it yourself, it would be trivial for a repair shop to fix most things that could go wrong.

I wouldn't say "excited", as I don't know of it having any specific advantages over what's already on the market.

I'm quite fond of my 7 and 8 though. Battery life and cell reception could be better, but I've never found either to be less than satisfactory.

I'd say stock pixel Roms are a better experience than most custom Roms. That being said, if you have privacy concerns, grapheneOS is right there.

Personal choice, IMO. I don't miss any of the features I gave up except for AI call screening.

Sort of. EVs are very fast off the line, but generally very heavy. It might be good for handing out speeding tickets on a freeway, but a pursuit on surface streets would probably not go as well.

It's also a fairly tall EV. I bet if you slid into a curb or something, it'll roll like Peppy Hare.

Assuming the thing worked as advertised and they get a VERY steep discount, it might be a good idea?
