These are awesome thanks for sharing. Also, if you can do magic eye and stereograms, try crossing your eyes when playing those “find the differences between these two pictures” games. They are incredibly easy if you cross your eyes.

Anker Soundcores is what I bought. They were a prime day deal (shudders) but I was on a free trial that I just canceled.

People got worse over the course of the pandemic and it appears they have no intention to go back to more reasonable public behavior ever.

I just bought a pair of anc earbuds for fun because I have a better set of anc headphones already. They sound way better than I expect or need and they were literally $25.

They always say “we have a few bad apples” and never acknowledge the complete expression “bad apples” comes from, which is “a few bad apples spoil the bunch”. I think the full expression makes the analogy correct.

A state monopoly on violence is not a terrible idea and needs to be enforced somehow.

Maybe it’s pedantic of me to say this but was not a state monopoly on violence and there certainly isn’t now. A lot of goon squads are composed of private security forces.

Like I get America isn’t without its problems, but if it’s so terrible, why is everyone trying to come here?

Many seeking asylum were coming for the promise of a stable federal government that operates under the rule of law (instead of working hand-in-glove with cartels) and that won’t disappear their family members, torture, or murder them like they encountered in their home countries.

They were coming for the promise of America, a promise that has been broken, battered, and pissed on at this point.

What do you think they came here for? ICE raids and Alligator Alcatraz?

My favorite hypocrite is Jenny McCarthy who obviously has never met a cosmetic injectable she doesn’t like but was one of the foremost anti-vax idiots out there.

Botulism toxin injected directly into my face - 🌞🎶😁👄👅

A vaccine preventing measles mumps and rubella - 😵‍💫☠️💀❤️‍🩹👎

When people stop trying to enter the country at risk of jail or death, I’ll believe “America Bad”.

Once all of the decent people in America are overrun by fascists and their enablers and the stench of death and doom is unavoidable, nobody will want to enter this country.

We’re well on our way toward that point already.

I now hate income tax because it’s just giving a handout to billionaires (and military contractors, but I repeat myself).

A big ol pile of shit.

It means the preferences of stupid people weren’t represented. Anytime they say real Americans or patriots or whatever, just substitute in stupid people and suddenly it makes a lot more sense.

If you’re going to dispute it, then you should look up the fucking news story and post the source of the refutation.

You can hate the current presidency, but that does not change laws and how they are enforced.

Of course a different administration changes how federal law is enforced. Laws aren’t self-enforcing magic. Administration policy has everything to do with the way federal laws are applied and enforced.

I used to run Windows on an esata drive that I would only power up occasionally in order to game, and it still somehow – and I don’t remember how – managed to ruin my computer.

Of course, Trump is the biggest business idiot in the country. He was largely elected because he is the big, dumb mascot of business idiots.

Who the fuck drinks coffee for 58 minutes?

No you’re not overreacting, but if you’re in America unfortunately you basically have to drive to be a full fledged person. Our governments do not provide you a reasonable alternative. I’d personally love to quit myself, but I’m the only driver in my household.

Nope, I’m a dude. It also wasn’t that it didn’t fit at all. It just didn’t fit comfortably (in jeans). In PJ pants they stuck out the top of the pocket loosely and I had more than one phone flop out onto the ground while I was walking my dog.

I have a slim wallet myself. It’s not just bulky phones I hate carrying around. I have a keychain that allows me to drop portions of my keys when I don’t need something. I like traveling light.

Phablets being in style at the same time as slim fit jeans felt like some kind of special curse from hell.

Another thing I like about the model year razr i bought is that it has only a small display on the outside. I can close the clamshell and disconnect from online junk for a while.

Phablet style phones don’t fit comfortably in any pants I’ve ever worn. I think phones almost, mostly fit up to 5" or so, but most phones are much larger.

The razr when folded is probably less thick than a normal bifold wallet and is half the size of a candy bar phone. It fits closed in every pair of pants i own including pajama pants.
