Yeah, my last few theater experiences weren't great. Toddlers screaming and adults talking on their phone (note: neither we're kids movies). I'm sorry, but that's not the experience I shelled out a bunch of money for. The home 65" might not be as immersive, but it's quiet and I can pause it to to go pee and that's a massive win in my book.

No wait, give it back! Stop trying to steal my beer! I like beer!

I don't know if you like podcasts, but Know Your Enemy is a take on the right from two leftists who used to be conservatives who approach it from an intellectual POV.

I linked to the political magazine that helps support them since it gives some rundowns of their topics that might give you some of the sources that can be read instead of listening to their podcast, if you'd prefer.

No, no, you see, it's actually so empowering for the worker because they can quit at any time with no notice! Isn't that so empowering! In fact, I almost think that the balance of power goes too far in the workers favor on this and we need to give some of it back to the poor employers who are just always walking on eggshells since they can be quit on at any time!

/s just in case

It's so insane that anyone can argue that at-will employment is anything other than a shitty employer's wet dream.

When I installed fdroid from their website a month or two back it was like 2 or 3 clicks. Then whenever I want to install anything from there it's an extra click or two over what it would be from Play.

I've seen people click through way more complicated processes than this without even knowing they did it. Modern computing has taught people to just keep hitting whatever the approval text is (yes windows, I really do want to copy all of these god damn files. Yes, really, I still do! Yep, again, ALL of them!)

I'm a millennial that doesn't like avocado at all, so, speaking of disgraces!

We managed to get a house, but there are also 3 of us with no kids, I can't imagine managing with two people in todays economy. We got in just before the rates skyrocketed in 2021, the house price is basically what the inflation calculators say the original owners bought it for decades ago, so, there's that at least, that we only paid the equivalent of the original list price for a 5-6 decades old house with decades of shoddy repairs such as every single plug with a ground having the ground pin tied to the neutral!

It's a real rough time out there right now though with ownership out of the realm of possibility for so many :-\

ok, Millennial ... look at you over there ::checks notes:: loving the woman you married! What a disgrace!

Seriously though, best of luck through this and hopefully the 1st Amendment is upheld

ETA: Not sure on your age here, was just a joke to play on the boomer 'wife bad' stereotype that in my experience is way too accurate.

Regardless of anything else, it's a medical procedure, your employer shouldn't be privy to private medical details just because they don't agree with them. You should be able to get a doctors note that you're having a procedure, will require time to heal and be done with it, in any reasonable world, but ... here we are.

Right?! Super easy to be "privacy focused" when you just flat out refuse to acknowledge anything as personally identifiable information!

SCOTUS declaring this illegal in 3...2...1!

/S (I hope)

Right‽

The movie was unbelievably dumb and personally I loved it! Dunno what that guy wanted/expected out of the movie, but I feel like it delivered on what the title promised me

Ah, my apologies for the assumption, it's been almost a year but I'm still too used to Reddit apparently!

Yes, the default launcher had ads, the SHIELD itself didn't, but I also didn't like any of the 3rd party launchers I used but I don't remember specifically why. Then, the SHIELD stopped booting so I didn't want to buy another one and went with the ATV instead.

As I mentioned, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to someone who knows they'd regret not having the cast functionality, but, if you just want a device that works very well and doesn't ever have so much as a hiccup during navigation, it's been great!

I would still recommend the SHIELD for someone that wants cast or who wouldn't have a problem with (mostly) relevant ads being shown on the device (stock).
