Spicy take around these parts.

I’m on iOS, but I gave it a few minutes of swiping to help out.

Moon Reader+ is probably the only thing I still miss from Android.

Completely agree. I love discovering ultra niche podcasts.

Yeah, I got tired of being the product. It used to be Google phones were significantly cheaper, that’s just not nearly as much a thing anymore.

Then you have to take the additional steps of finding privacy focused roms etc… It just wasn’t worth the savings to me. There’s things about Android I miss, but the fact that my phone is good for years and years is such a game changer.

I have been gradually transitioning over to proton for additional privacy and I’ve basically completely divorced myself from Google at this point.

The grinder for pepper corns. It gives you more flavor than ground pepper.

It’s a hot take! Wouldn’t be good if it weren’t inflammatory.

Pepper Mills are overrated.

Veh-soo-vee-us.

It’s not like the day was chosen randomly. June 19th is when the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas, the last state to hear it.

It’s literally just a portmanteau of June Nineteenth.

Portmanteaus are super common and lots of fun. I have no idea why you’d take issue with this particular one.

Serious answer:

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I’ve found it to be personally beneficial.

I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don’t know that I ever will again.

My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.

And a Supreme Court eager to throw its political weight around.

VR is neat, but it’s mostly been a solution in search of a problem.

No idea about this particular girl, but there’s plenty of authentic disorders that can cause childhood dementia:

• Batten Disease (Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses, NCL)
• Sanfilippo Syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III, MPS III)
• Niemann-Pick Disease Type C, GM1 and GM2 Gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff Disease)
• Leukodystrophies (such as Metachromatic Leukodystrophy and Krabbe Disease)
• Mitochondrial Disorders (such as Leigh syndrome)
• Rett Syndrome

This genuinely felt like a weird scam to me. I had no idea it existed, but apparently there’s a whole host of childhood conditions that can cause childhood dementia.

That’s very upsetting.

Yeah, there was an exhibition match between Serena and Venus and the 203rd ranked male player.

I think because guys are pound for pound stronger than girls. I’ve read stories on Reddit years ago by girls who are wrestlers or fighters and get into a playful tussle with some random guy and they describe it as terrifying.

Okay, I wasn’t going to respond to any of this, but all the bullshit sources you’re using proves my point exactly.

I wasn’t implying that tankies draw their name from Tiananman. I genuinely don’t give a fuck where it comes from. I was pointing out that they’re actually on the side of the tanks that literally crushed protestors.

If you’re going to quote wikipedia, it’s funny that you suddenly stop using it when it no longer suits you.

Wikipedia, BBC, NSA de-classified national archives, etc…

No one will argue that the death toll is this or that number, because no one knows.

There is no debate that it is a significant number, that hundreds or even thousands were murdered, and that China has desperately attempted to obfuscate every detail of these events.

The protestors called the soldiers fascists as they were killed. We could quibble over that terminology, but there can be no doubt that they were authoritarians willing to kill in order to suppress the natural desire in humans to be free and self-determining.

If you side with those soldiers then fuck you, tankie trash.

That’s so grim.
