  • This sums it up. No other group is willing to stand up on these topics. Do I think they’re perfect? No. They’re human. Humans who never anticipated leading a worldwide movement with so much time in the spotlight. I also completely understand the organization wanting to pick its legal battles closely. This does mean that the chapters should be locked in stride with the message from TST. If they spread too thin, they lose appeal and effectiveness. Hone in on religion. Keep pressure there until it is no longer needed. THEN move on.

    I keep my old phones instead of throwing them away. They become music players in the house/garage. My pixel 7 pro definitely has garbage speakers compared to a pixel 3, or an old Samsung note (can’t remember the Gen). It’s a stat I didn’t even bother looking at, since we seemed to have hammered it out years ago. It’s akin to asking if a new car has electric Windows.

    I wish I would have checked.




  • Don’t have TikTok, and despise that short form has taken over YouTube. It should be a separate app/space/whatever.

    I still interact with TikTok links family and friends send me, and I fucking despise that. Close the “use the app” overlay, punch in the “I’m not a robot” code, turn on the volume (since when is muted the default video state, outside of porn?), and then loathe the fact that I just missed 60 percent of a glorified gif that I can’t rewind, and won’t repeat without pushing the app on me.

    Nope, I’ve seen enough of their business practices and intent just from that interaction. It leaves me with no desire to sign up.





  • I’m late to the switch party, as I’m just messing with one for the first time since Christmas. I’ve been a PC gamer for decades. Decided to try out breath of the wild, and I’m having a blast with it. That being said, I would be lying if I said there weren’t times where the frame rate dropped so low it’s distracting. This new one may not have that issue, but I’m betting it’s similar. I would absolutely be interested in emulating the game on better hardware. Hardware I already have at home.

    You may not understand this side of the argument, and that’s fair. I also don’t understand yours. If someone wants to improve their experience with the game, it costs me nothing to give them a smile and a thumbs up for enjoying their own time/money however they like.
