Died trying to hold Melania’s hand 😢

I disagree on the smart watches, but I know I’m in the minority in how I use them. They actually help me disconnect from my phone better because only select apps send notifications to my watch, so if I get a vibration on my wrist, I check, see if it needs action or not, then move on with my life. In my work I often get messages that need immediate action, but I’m often in situations where I can’t be distracted in the moment, so smart watches have been super helpful.

As for all the fitness features or app control, etc. etc, I don’t really care. It’s nice that I can control my music, I played around with using it as a remote for my camera, but really, all I need is good, controlled notifications on my wrist for ambient awareness.

Pebble watches have always been the best and I’m eagerly awaiting my Pebble Time 2

Definitely agree on the bulbs though. Having color control or a dimmer is great but doesn’t need to be an app.

Also, imagine if some other country decided to make a move against US interests now. I wonder how many countries are keeping close track of the number of bullets left in the US’ metaphorical gun

Everybody in the car so come on let’s drive 🎶

I believe it’s essentially the “Black Lives Matter” /“All Lives Matter” situation. Yes, we are striving for equality, but the movements are worded to highlight those who are most affected/disenfranchised by the status quo.

Woman gets it when she’s talking about the movement that applies specifically to her disenfranchisement, but not when she’s in the “out” group of a rights movement

Was hoping to see him actually get body slammed…

For anyone else taking the headline literally like I did, the crowd just starts chanting “fuck ICE” and the wrestlers look a bit confused, then things just continue

I remember using it fondly, saving articles on desktop to read later during commutes or downtime rather than doomscrolling. I might be misremembering but initially their app was great for reading, but then it just started loading the web page rather than text optimized? Maybe I’m misremembering or getting apps mixed up, but I remember it being great for a good chunk of time

I feel like most people know Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Full game is free I believe (it’s been a while since I played).

Rouge-like dungeon crawl with tons of content, still getting updates too after so many years

I just started psyllium husk about 3 weeks ago more for satiation, cholesterol and as a prebiotic but man, I don’t think I’ve ever had better poops, stuff is insane

Goodbye

Wish I remembered… Honestly, they had a pretty perfect run getting two gardevoirs and and indeedee up while I was struggling to pull anything beyond basic pokemon so they made quick work of me. By the time I had anything good they were already past 300 max hp I think

Lol, I battled a deck like yours recently (maybe it was even you, who knows) and I was completely helpless. Reuniclus is definitely OP with the right supporters set up

A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way “moon” is used there is similar to month, so it’s basically “the time of the month is here” said as “datang bulan”

Hell yeah on the Cosmere books.

I’m going through yet another reread of “Way of Kings” at the moment, the first of Brandon Sanderson’s “Stormlight Archive”. Something recently had me thinking about Kaladin’s overall arc so I’m basically speeding through focusing on his story.

Not to mention XDCC over IRC

Exactly why I signed up to dropout.tv despite a bunch of trouble signing up. For some reason, my card kept getting declined, and I spent over a month going back and forth with my bank figuring it out. In my part of the world, paying YouTube to become a member of their channel and get all the same content would have been way cheaper and WAAAAYY less hassle, but fuck if I’m gonna give YouTube money when I can give it directly to the creators.

I second this. Been using their Nova 3 model for a good long while now and love it, been telling people it’s one of my favorite tech purchases ever. Running android and being able to sideload things is a gamechanger for e-readers.

Check out the channel My Deep Guide on YouTube for in depth reviews of the latest Onyx Boox offerings and how they compare to others though before you buy, apparently some weirdness in their newest model

I don’t feel like nobody can understand my POV. I grew up moving country to country and my classmates growing up led similar lives and probably had similar POVs. It was only in college that I realized most people lived their whole childhoods in one city, not counting vacations.

I think you’d be interested in looking into the concept of “Third Culture Kids”. I think the original book may be a bit outdated and lack some of the complexity of modern globalization, but it definitely made me realize a lot of things about myself when I read the book the first time way back.
