I’ve yet to see any “protect the kids” legislation that isn’t either thinly veiled surveillance overreach or corporate collusion

The fuck is a Fahrenheit

Sounds like a disease

Keep that shit away from me

A good one is saying windows is the best Linux distro because you can just run exes straight from the shell

~/dev/foo $ msbuild.exe MyProject2026UltimatePro.sln | grep Error(s)

Try it and confirm there is no god

Fucking what? Well, cancel away and then Google the letters at the start of the words in this sentence:

Fucking Mouse, He’s Yucky

I mean they were some of the big ones, though digg, maybe newgrounds and even OG (no subreddits) Reddit was in the mix too

But you’re forgetting all the thousands of random phpBB/vBulletin/myBB/Invision/SMF forums run by passionate nerds with only around 20-30 other equally passionate nerds using them

Autumn and spring are better than both. Both of the extremes are getting less fun every year.

I don’t like it when it’s so hot I want to take off my skin

I also don’t like it when it’s so cold I have to somehow instantly magic another 4 layers on/off me when walking through a door to not freeze/sweat to death.

Give me comfortable 2 layer weather where I can wear the same thing indoors and outdoors and feel fine

My terminally online brain initially saw the first image in the thumbnail as a 3d version of the mental gymnastics meme for some reason

I need to go and walk in a park or something

This is the mindset most should have about it

Perfection is hard

People shouldn’t be giving others grief for making moves in the right direction just because it’s not as far as they’ve gone

I can’t imagine anyone running server farms is particularly hyped about this

Didn’t a load of them get burned pretty badly by apple killing off the last server line and Steve Jobs just told them to cry more when challenged about it

Wooden chopstick(s)

Or plastic I guess, but mine are wooden

I’m pretty sure this is old enough to drink

inherently a downgrade

Crabs in a bucket vibe

NUS is a top 10 university in the world last I heard, unless you’re turning down MIT, you’re probably better off

I’m not at all, vegan as a personal trait is a bit of a broad church these days.

There’s the people that are mostly motivated by the not-killing-animals thing

Then there’s the ones doing it predominantly for environmental reasons

Then you’ve got the ones doing it for various health reasons

Then you’ve got people doing it predominantly for cost reasons (fewer here, given vegan is still treated as a luxury aspect in a lot of food categories)

Those groups do not have to overlap in views at all. It’s entirely expected for there to be disagreement and purity test drama given that IMO

Punctuation is important here

What fuck?

Is different from

What, fuck?

Is different from

What? fuck.

Movistar is also O2 or Vivo depending where you’re from

I wasn’t in the market to switch carrier anyway, but I’m definitely not gonna pick O2 next time now if this is what they do in other markets

They’re designed to have a case now

I don’t like it, but that’s why. You’re simply not supposed to use them without a case.

I will say though, I don’t know where you’re getting your cases from, but I swear by the Spigen ones, they’re usually £10-20 and I have bought one the day I buy a new phone for probably the past 10 years or so.

I’ve not smashed a screen since I started, I used to have to talk to insurance once a year before. That £15 every couple of years has saved me hundreds of pounds in insurance excess fees.

I don’t even use a screen protector
