idk how it is in the US, but here in hong kong their app deals, fried chicken, and shake shake fries are absolute bangers

Then that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I do not like them because the animations are arbitrary, with no proper theme and consistency to how they work and what they actually represent.

nope!

if you have to ask me for “permission” for having your own opinions, well, i won’t stop you.

a lot of these are terrible, made by an animator who doesn’t understand design and just wants to make lines move for the heck of it.

that went well for concorde, didn’t it?

honestly who cares? charge it overnight once per week and you’re fine.

focus on the actual problems, like the horrific ergonomics, planned obsolescence, or apple’s war on right to repair.

US’s PSR system is a fuckin joke

i’m on boost. i’ve tried quite a few options, but even with the ads, boost just feels like home.

to be clear, i’ve been out to the rest of my family for a long time, and i am very open about my sexuality (even irl, which takes at least some balls because i’m not in a very lgbt-friendly region). the reason i am not out to my father is that he has always been a traditional “man of the house” person, and i am not driving a wedge in our relationship by letting him know that his ideal bloodline ends with me.

if you don’t understand the cultural contexts in which i reside, do not assume my intentions or degrade my decisions.

okay, i’m gay, but this is still relevant.

my dad (who i haven’t come out to yet) thinks colourful underwear is gay, and those are his remarks to seeing that i’ve packed both red and blue undies while we were on vacation last year.

like bro they’re just colours.

just use your phone. you’re taking pictures and video for the memories, not for flawless record-keeping or streaming on live tv or post-game analysis.

learn to be skeptical, recognize logical fallacies, and never get angry.

Gun control in the US.

Gun control would normally work in any other country, but guns are so ingrained in American culture and history that it is infeasible to simply just implement gun control and expect everything to work.

Couple that gun culture with a whole lot of systemic issues (capitalism, remnants of racist laws, wealth inequality, healthcare, police brutality, education system, firearms safety) and you get the gun violence rampant across the US.

Gun control won’t work on its own. If you want to get rid of guns, you gotta fix everything at the same time, which won’t happen because half the country would vote against progress and their own interests in the name of “owning the libs”.

i love lizardmen. mainly because i am a scalie.

sexual stimulation

you keep saying “vote” as if it means the same thing in a ranked-choice voting system and a first-past-the-post voting system.

newsflash: you’re not making the difference you claim you’re making. if anything, you’re making it worse. congratulations! good job! you did it! you get a good star!

The Bell Riots.

it could also be regional differences, since your checks are localized to your area, and OP’s his area. lots of software updates have incremental regional rollouts so i’m making a guess that that’s what’s happening, based on responses to this post.

don’t automatically assume someone is “farming for points” when they post about something that doesn’t immediately apply to you. it may apply to you in the future.
