  • RCS stands for Rich Communications Suite. Its a standard developed by google to make texting more feature rich like dedicated messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. Pretty much any stock android app uses it these days. If you want to know more here's a pretty good explanation of it. https://www.androidcentral.com/what-rcs-and-why-it-important-android

  • If we're so worried about illegal immigrants then why do we not make it easier to legally immigrate to the US. The current wait time for an immigrant with a sponsor already in the US is between 5 and 10 years. People fleeing violence can't wait 1 year much less 10. If the US were serious about controlling illegal immigration they would make a viable and expedient path to citizenry for all that come to our borders.

  • I think Culture Shock would fit that description pretty well, it's defined as a condition of confusion and anxiety affecting a person suddenly exposed to an alien culture or milieu.

  • If you have an Asian grocery nearby, try getting a package of salted duck eggs. They're boiled and packed in salt at the factory, so that the whole egg absorbs the saltiness trough the shell. They come individually vacuum sealed, so you can just cut it in half with a knife and scoop the egg out of the shell with a spoon, they're delicious in ramen.

  • I've owned idk how many cars, they've always been a hobby of mine. But the one I miss the most was my 1959 Chevrolet pickup truck. I bought it for next to nothing, it was rusty and beat up, but 100% original. I fixed all the broken and worn stuff on it and slapped a turbocharger on the factory engine and daily drove it for a year or two. Even with the turbo it was dreadfully slow, but it was a riot to drive. It turned a lot of heads and got smiles everywhere I went. Really wish I'd never sold it.

  • I really enjoyed this little tidbit "Pelham paced outside, holding a gun and yelling at police. He eventually went back inside and fired the gun several times. For their own safety, police left the property that night, and let Pelham sleep off his drinking." He shoots at police and they "let him sleep it off", any POC would be dead as a doornail if they so much as thought of the word gun in the presence of cops. But a white male insurrectionist can just sleep it off. This country is truly fucked.

  • NASAs budget in 2021 was $25b, but their economic output was $71.2b. NASA actually puts more into the economy than it takes to run. Between providing nearly 340,000 jobs and leasing patents on materials and technology developed in house, NASA more than pays their own way. Not to mention all the advancements in material science, medical technology, and engineering that they provide. NASA is well worth the investment we put into it, and IMO deserves much more.

  • I was just recently diagnosed with ADHD at 34 years old, and medication has had a huge impact on my whole life. While it has increased productivity while at my job, I've also been able to complete more personal projects in my free time. A properly working executive function is extremely important in all aspects of life. I'd continue to medicate even if I was living in a Startrek esque socialist utopia. I agree that ADHD can often be over diagnosed, but for those of us who are correctly diagnosed, treatment is lifechanging.
