people who are at risk of this should be minimizing their phone use in the first place, if the US government wants into your phone they will get into it eventually.

there’s a reason that one of the main rules of protests is to NEVER bring your phone

frankly i just laugh at the concept of safe and secure, anyone who seriously wants into your device will get into it, if you can’t live with that idea then you shouldn’t own a modern complex device with chips that could be doing precisely whatever the fuck they want without you knowing.

it’s the same as physical locks, someone who wants to get past them will get past them, locks don’t exist to wholesale prevent entry, they exist so only the highly motivated break in, and that’s just a fact we have to live with.

emo gobblin deez nuts

something that works well enough, lots of times it just doesn’t work and it’s unpleasant for everyone involved

i’ve never understood it either, it makes sense to separate out short quips but when it’s a full reply it’s… meant to go in the reply field…

narrowed it down to 95% of a single planet!

i don’t understand how people can find it appealing when computers speak like humans, i genuinely find HAL-9000 more appealing.

the ideal computer response style is how it works in star trek voyager

i was unaware most countries still use this terrible score system at all

they’re more existential dread than actively scary i feel, eldrich creatures emerging from the soil on a weird super long schedule only to screech for like a week or whatever it is and then promptly all die off

i somehow prefer the thought of eating roasted larvae over sugared beetle

i swear to god large insects specifically go out of their way to hit me on the nose while riding my bike, once it must have been a bee or something hitting me ass first because my nose swelled up right where the glasses rest on it.

it’s borderline traumatizing

i’d say these days paleo art is more “okay so we know what related animals look like, and we know what animals in the same general niche look like, so let’s use those to fill in the blanks from the skeleton and make something that looks like you could find it in the wild”

honestly i feel like many people are quite a bit too generous towards people of the past, people just really liked to write fanfiction with fossils as the base for a lot of the history of paleontology… Basically like what jurassic park did but they passed it of as enlightened science, conveniently forgetting to tell people that they just went ahead and moved a bone found near the legs up to the nose…
Certainly there was genuine attempts to recreate dinosaurs, but good lord a lot of it is just obviously biased, lord forbid dinosaurs not be portrayed as sluggish obsolete monsters!

funny thing is that there are a pretty decent amount of hunter-gatherers who wear tshirts and shit, honestly seems like an amazing lifestyle.

it’s that class of “immigrant took their native cuisine and retooled it to make drunk locals do that cartoon thing where they smell a visible trail of scent and start floating towards the source, whereupon they hand over their entire wallet in return for delicious food”

what the fuck does this even mean

finally, male queef

sedum, it’s kind of perfect because it stays short, doesn’t need much water or maintenance in general, and it can be quite colourful!

i wouldn’t recommend that, since trams tend to use sand to improve traction when needed.

it means that either pluto isn’t a planet, or basically the entire fucking asteroid belt it’s part of is all planets
