  • I voted in my 2nd presidential election that year.

    Sadly, I was still just beginning the very first stages of realizing God is the biggest scam in the history of the universe, so I voted McCain.

    There is a lot of my past I’m not proud of. But given that I didn’t really have a lot of human contact outside of church members until I was almost 14, I gotta give myself a little slack. But it’s still embarrassing af.



  • Fuck. I bought this forever ago, either for my Droid 2 or my Galaxy S3. Skipped it on my first Pixel and came back on the Pixel 7.

    Haven’t really heard any talk about it, didn’t know about the owner/dev drama until seeing some comments here.

    Haven’t noticed any ads myself yet, but maybe that’s a “coming soon” thing.

    Time to go launcher shopping again. This thread mentioned Lawnchair and Niagara, so I’ll check those out first.


  • I haven’t had to deal with this many times personally. A great grandparent, great aunt and uncle, you know, ones you expect.

    I’ve only had one occasion to deal with that affected my day to day, a younger sibling. And I’ve blacked out a lot of the next couple weeks of it tbh. Happened right before the end of my senior year of high school. I don’t think I had a nightmare phase, but even now, almost 22 years later, it just takes thinking about it for too long before I feel the hurt and sadness again. I don’t envy anyone in your spot.

    Emotional triggers will vary by person anyway, so I don’t know how much good any answers to this question will be.

    But at least we can all commiserate. The experience is pretty universal. The reactions will differ, just due to differences in the situation it happened in and the personality of the survivors, but we all understand loss.


  • That’s why there’s been several impeachments in the last 20 years but nobody has left office.

    I’m talking about straight up ejection from the moment the vote is validated type of stuff. Not the beginning to a hopelessly long series of trials and further votes. Just a one vote, done thing that could easily be official before the pres even know it might be likely.

    Presidents are far too comfy as far as job security goes. They should be at risk of being fired literally every second if enough people agree that they’re a fuck-up. And depending on the reason the vote happens, they should be notified they’re fired by a surprise pair of handcuffs. None of this long drawn out shit. The fastest thing possible in reference should be fitting the leader.



  • Any dress code that isn’t purely and solely for functional reasons can fuck right off anyway.

    Sure he’s a piece of shit but don’t leave me with the strays.

    Make every business dress code just comfy shorts and sandals. No more of this stuck up bullshit. Fuck collars, fuck the stick-up-your-butt uptightness.

    There should’ve only ever been “comfy” and “safety”, dress codes.

    Name a good reason for anything else, I’ll wait.

    Don’t home this “lazy” shit just because an evil idiot is comfy.



  • As much as anybody “wins” at war, I absolutely hope we lose. I’m glad Germany lost, so I want us to lose.

    I honestly have no idea how split people were in Germany at the time, but given that the Nazis are back for a sequel, then I hope they lose and lose BAD. Like bad to the point that they do some “political cleansing” of the entire government. I don’t think there’s a benefit of having any conservatives in power at all. Just straight up murder should still be wrong, but if any get good for the paddles come out. Bring conservative and holding power greater than student body president shouldn’t happen anywhere, ever, for any reason.


  • Even having a conversation about that will take a while to happen because most people think that AI literally means something like ChatGPT.

    I don’t know enough about the other kinds to say much definitively, but I do completely invalidate generative AI being of any possible use as I understand it. Other than as a tech demo. Seeing what Sora could do was interesting as a matter of curiosity about what it was possible to get to happen with it current tech.

    But I don’t think it should ever be used as literally anything other than a demo of what is literally possible.
