The post you responded to was responding to someone that got in trouble for using a pay phone to call home when school was canceled.

Hey, speak for yourself! Some of us take communion…

It’s too bad the websites that do this don’t have to put a label on it in the U.S. Something like “Not for consumption in the E.U.” to make people wonder what’s going on.

I have MAGA family members and it’s not just 1+1=5. It’s a word-vomit tsunami of absolute bullshit. And if you convince them that point 1/367 is not factual, they won’t accept that it disqualifies anything else (including the idea that he never tells lies), and you will have to re-prove that point 1/367 is not factual a few weeks later. It’s exhausting, and I’m fairly sure that is the point (and I’m fairly sure this is also an actual Russian propaganda technique called a “firehose of falsehoods”, regardless of whether it’s being used in that context).

I’m in that age group. Kids had vhs and magazines. IMO the faces of death vhs going around was more scarring than any porn.

FM is more affected by physical barriers (buildings, etc.). Range is around 30 miles. AM range is around 100 miles during the day and further at night.

Don’t states with frequent hurricanes still recommend switching to AM in the event of disaster? There are a lot of situations where cell phones or FM may not work, but you could get an AM signal.

I’d never give my kid an android phone because it would mean buying a brand new phone (instead of giving them my old iPhone XR from 2018) AND would mean I’d have to create some new account to manage the screen time equivalent on another ecosystem. I don’t like creating new accounts. I’ve moved from google accounts to Proton and don’t want to go back, either.

The submission period ends before spring begins and you want spring-themed nature photos? I suppose photos from last year are okay?

A lot of this stuff is highly suspicious considering how long governments have been trying to ban VPNs and encrypted messaging. At some point I’d expect someone in favor of bans to commit activities like this to push services to block and governments to ban.

I always wondered if the push against face masks had some element involved that wanted to ensure everyone could be identified more easily.

That worked, thanks! Had to paste that into the search bar and it popped right up.

Is the invite still valid? FluffyChat is throwing an error about a null value and displaying a yellow rectangle with an X across it. I’m not too familiar with FluffyChat, so I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing or an invalid invite.
