I cancelled Spotify when they started pushing podcasts in my music app, with no way to turn it off.
Why pay for a service that actively pushes you towards stuff you don’t want? Especially if there’s alternatives that cost the same and … don’t do that.
Never liked that argument. It’s essentially “Why, don’t you like immigration, dummy? Don’t you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?”
I’m not saying it isn’t true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.
Seconded. Have been running it on both my main desktop and laptop for five years with no issues.
I mean, he’s probably gonna say “Yeah, sure, whatever” to most things the crazy people around him propose.
In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.
I’ve always used anti-abortion. Pro-life just isn’t an accurate descriptor, and a “pro-life protest”, or a “pro-life bill” seem like undeserved euphemisms considering what they want. Outlawing executions would be a pro-life bill.
Anti-choice is good too.
Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as as a dev, sometimes in rather ‘fancy’ office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.
Looks fine and upright in Thunder.
Same as it ever was.
They’re pretty easy to not engage with, and for me they felt less awkward than almost any other video game sex scene.
People always focus on the romances, but I feel like you could take them out completely and still have pretty much the same great game.
Sure, but I get what they mean. Sometimes you have a minority character that doesn’t very much seem to interact with the plot, nor has many discernable personality trait beyond being part of a minority.
Representation matters, but it should be done in a way that makes the characters actual people, not just a tick in a checkbox.
Apologies for being slightly tasteless, but - investigators reportedly heard food had allegedly been handled by an individual known to be ‘full of shit’ in a recent incident.
As an amateur with an audio interface and a few mics - you don’t need to know all that much to avoid that mistake.
It might be just because I’m relatively middle of the road bisexual, but I always liked the idea that most people aren’t quite on the extreme ends of the Kinsey scale, but like, a tiny bit bi at least.
I am definitely thankful for having a family that was very open about everything, and didn’t mind either way, though I do feel that the years spent not wanting to engage with the thought partially came down to pressure from peers, as anything other than heterosexuality seemed to be seen as alien back then. From what I hear from my brother, that actually changed a lot compared to when I was in school, and things are a lot more accepting now.
I thought I was straight for about 17 years, thinking that also being attracted to men was just something everyone experienced.
Wasn’t euronews bought up by one of Orbans buddies?
Fucking hell.
Anyway, here’s a longer, more up to date Version of the article.

My father was 75 when his finances had deteriorated to the point where he was no longer able to afford a personal secretary.
He had me explain the things he had to do, and he wrote them down on paper, step by step. He was pretty quickly able to do all the things he needed to do on his desktop.
Never got fast typing down, so I got him dictation software. Anyway, I’m pretty convinced as long as your determined, you can stay hip to new technology in a way that at least allows you to work with it.
Harry Potter and a Spock on the way back from London
I’d watch it.
Delivery trucks, full stop, around here. Though some stop on the street instead, which I prefer, but car drivers usually don’t.
In the end, I find it hard to be angry at overworked, underpaid people, who have to work around infrastructure that clearly hasn’t been planned with their job in mind.
At least UPS is switching to large bike-like vehicles around here. Hope that trend continues.
