I genuinely hope you will! He’s runining a beautiful country, I miss Budapest:-<

Not to minimise this, I think it’s all the worse when considering that the rest of the world is facing VERY similar problems and some still refuse to see it. Hell, Romania narrowly avoided electing our own Trump. Poland wasn’t so lucky. Hungary’s Trump’s been active for years now, and so on, and so forth.

And while it’s understandable why some defend themselves by ignoring reality, ignoring a random douchebag on the bus is one thing, ignoring the rebirth of Fascism is something completely different.

Oh, a lot of them are proper-dead in my case!:)) But, yes, automatons. That’s all they were. Working for the System is all that they knew, respecting the System is all that they knew, and supplication to the System was their only belief.

I started seeing this from a different perspective: if the people who’ve told me this were thinking of themselves and others like them as examples of fulfillment when referring to my potential, then am I friggin’ glad I fell off!

Wanna know why? Because I know for a fact most of them were miserable until the day they died. Well, not all of them are dead, but of those that died… you get it… My point, at least I’ve had some damned fine moments while doing it my way! I won’t regret the story I’ll leave behind.

No greater feeling, may your pocket buddy serve you in good health for many more years to come!❤️

Yep, makes perfect sense! And this is not gaslighting, btw, it’s only gaslighting when Hamas does it.

If only we had a way to put that chocolate into the peanut butter…

Well, that would be nice, but it’s still not all of them. Unfortunately, I own a Zenfone 10 as my main driver, and Asus have not released the unlock tools they promised since Zenfone 9. And, afaik, this is applicable to a lot of the top producers, with a few exceptions.

I can’t wait for the new regulations to properly settle in, hopefully we’ll start seeing full unlocks with the upcoming generations…

That would be pretty friggin’ awesome, not gonna lie.

Canada so totally has those “Contemporary European” vibes, too (or maybe we have the Canadian vibes, either way!), would be an excellent fit imho. It’d make a lot of sense.

I mean… look, I’m genuinely not trying to be a sour asshole, but why did we need this? How is this furthering the development of smartphone tech? It’s, like… sure, pretty graphics are nice, but do we really need ray-tracing on our phones? (I know it’s not ray-tracing, but you get my point)

Ackshully…

Completely unrelated to the discussion, wanted to thank you for the pic. Literally choking down laughter hard so as not to wake the neighbors.

The blob emojis were one of their best features, that’s so true! I kid you not, every single time I’ve used Slack for work, for every single company which used it, someone had already uploaded the blobs! I really didn’t understand that move, the current Smile emoji looks psychotic.

I honestly don’t even know why I’m paying attention to Apple at this point, I think it’s like digging my nail into a freshly scarred-over cut, just to tease that sting out a bit. It’s the only way in which they have ever contributed to my feeling alive.

Jesus, yeah, I have a lot of friends in that position… I was lucky enough to be able to quit before things became outright quicksand and am looking into completely different professions at this point. I don’t want to touch a computer for anything other than fucking about in my free time. Maybe some data entry, but that’s it. At least the diversity somewhat negates the impact of just how dire things are, I guess.

I honestly don’t know how we’ll get ourselves out of this one if things keep going the way they have.

Dammit, I really need to rewatch that one, I think my brain always misses the point because, again, fast cars go vroom…

Need to rewatch the third as well, now that you mentioned it.

I’m sorry if it’s a dumb question, but didn’t Microsoft already do this with Vista and Win 7? And I’m pretty sure transparency has been a thing on Android for a good while now:-?

Ooh, well, thank you kindly for clarifying the first one, at least! I was always under the impression that, although oil (or lack thereof) caused that apocalypse, the nutsos were just driving around on diesel all day long, and it kinda’ didn’t make much sense to me:)) But, hey, fast cars go boom, brain happy!

I love you.
