I feel like a lot of the issue is because the new operating systems are a lot more power intensive and Google play services is always doing so much in the background, you need a super heavy battery just to get an all day battery life whereas older phones could get the same battery life with a lighter/smaller battery and less OS bloat.
Agreed. I honestly contemplated the Fairphone when my Samsung s7 finally died in April, but I ended up just getting the newest Samsung because it was smaller and most familiar to me. But oh how I miss the SD card slot.
Until we fully understand all of the processes in morphogenesis and hormone changes in prenatal development (hint: we don't), I see this pursuit as reckless at best. Furthermore why are we pursuing this in people when the "artificial womb" that happened with sheep was shaky?
A diversified profile needs to exist to meet fluctuating demand. I think energy storage or some long term reliance on natural gas is baked in to any sort of emergency response, because nuclear is harder to adjust willy nilly. But yeah it's hard to ignore the largest low-carbon baseload power source
Yes, the same way America is outsourcing most of our carbon emissions whenever we claim to be reducing them, it is tiring. However the fact that they continue to also poison us directly by evading or influencing environmental regulations and lie about that stuff too - I wish I could see a beatdown.
They have now shifted to saying that they're part of the clean energy revolution or something of that sort. I started seeing commercials with this rhetoric a few years ago, but I see even more now.
Made this mistake before. I was downloading mods for a game where all the mods were from angelfire sites that are now dead. People often didn't even credit themselves in the readme.txt because the game community was very small, and a lot of the people playing it were old and are deceased now, relying on other dead link sites to work. I wish I had done a better job tracking where I got all my files so I could share them and keep those people's legacy alive. Several of the sites were archived on archive.org wayback machine, but unfortunately all the zip files linked on there download as empty files. It's probably my biggest computer-related regret.
It might appear normalized in the bar and club area of a huge city. This gives a culturally specific context to where and when people would advertise or talk about onlyfans.
In my frame of reference you are too familiar with the industry to see how normalized it actually is for most people.
Regardless of race, it shouldnt be on the road if it cannot detect jaywalkers at night wearing all black. Where I live POC are more likely to be the pedestrians because it's an immigrant-heavy community. I've seen a white guy jaywalking at night wearing all black in between street lights but I couldn't tell he was white until he got across the street and I could see him head-on.
YouTube has now started rounding corners of the video player at full-screen for some users. My friends have shared screenshots of this but I am yet to encounter it outside of mobile where my phone screen is already rounded.
I seriously thought the round corners trend was dead already. Why are they trying to force it back?
By this logic we may as well go back into plaintext Netscape sites and let the browser determine everything about how we see the content. What is the limit to what the browser is allowed to do, and where do your preferences end and the browser's preferences that you can't change begin?
When I was a college student they started selling small tetrapaks of wine that made them look like protein shakes. I would play catch with them after drinking some of it, and I can only imagine how much more fun that would be with a bag. I would have loved to have seen the explosion.
Also, I can't help but feel like storing wine in a floppy bag is our natural way of things. After all, we used to store it in animal skins.
Orange juice is nearly always sold in a clear jug in the US, and that which I can remember in Canada. In fact I don't think I have ever encountered an opaque jug of juice, only paper cartons.
Also, Caprisun pouches have foil backing that cause them to somewhat maintain shape, and a design that gives them a base to stand upright. Canadian bagged milk, at least what kind I encountered when I was there, had neither of these traits.
In Canada families have a pitcher that's the right shape and size for the milk bags that are sold, and is reused. You just snip the corner off the bag. That said, the milk is double bagged (several smaller bags of milk in a larger bag, 1L each maybe?), so there is still a fair bit of plastic involved. The time I was visiting my friend in Canada one of the bags that he brought home busted. Not exactly fun
It is not normalized to the extent you think it is, because like most trends it is overblown by social media, gaining more of a focus there and less in real life. However, this has still distorted reality enough that now young men ask young women if they have onlyfans, as if that is a casual or normal thing to ask someone.
Honestly I find some of the "nicer/high end" or even organic brands of tea sometimes use the plastic sachet, this is because that allows you to see the product inside whereas the other ones hide the product. The only brands I run across with it lately are Harney and Sons, and a Russian tea brand Maiskiy, but most Maiskiy bags are paper. And Harney and Sons is a nice treat.
Exactly, the issue is that you become a product in the eyes of others, and now realistic images of that product are clicks away. And it alters how you interface with the people around you and how they interface with you.
If you find a naked painting of yourself and tissues in the floor in your friend's house please report back on exactly how that made you feel and exactly how you decided to proceed with the friendship. I am very interested to hear the results. For most people I think they would be disturbed to find this, and it's easy to theorize how you wouldn't be bothered until something like this actually happens to you.
Most of my friends in my circle have either been diagnosed with ADHD, are pursuing diagnosis, or/and are trying to convince me to pursue a diagnosis, despite me personally not feeling like I have anything. I can't help but feel like something worse is going on here. I know my sample size is small but is the prevalence really this high? From my perspective it seems like ADHD is becoming a "new normal", and I'm starting to question whether the "normal" person who does everything exactly on time with no hesitation, who is truly perfectly organized, even exists. Curious to hear others' thoughts on this.
