It's true, I guess they only built the "5G" towers to have the name alone, figuring customers would want the latest and greatest. It's worked, most people I see are using 5G even though every 5G network I've tested has yielded about the results you describe, 15mbps while I can easily get 30+ via 4glte standing in the same spot.

$25 a month for truly unlimited? Unheard of and super cool

Is that a good printer? Sounds vaguely like what I bought from a thrift store a while back.

It's got something stuck somewhere that I haven't been able to find by dismantling and cleaning. Didn't know if it was worth fixing?

But they did do something eventually lol

What's freetube? Ik I can search but so many recommendations

If you were that person until you read this, fuck you

For 6 million dollars?

An Adblocker allowing ads to.. start a conversation that's already been had and over for decades at this point.

People don't like intrusive ads. Give intrusive ads and we'll always find ways around them. It's a story as old as the internet. Google is no exception. You may have billions of dollars and thousands of employees but nearly everyone in the damned world hates ads. You can try to fight it all you want. The only reason that nearly anyone puts up with ads is they want to support the creator or don't yet know they can avoid the ads. Even those supporting the creators don't like the damned things.

I've seen so, so many people watching ads on their phones

What's this?

Thanks kindly cowpoke but that's just Eddie Murphy

More than billions, I think our defense budget was $766 billion in 2022 alone, at around 12% which was actually lower than 2021 which cost taxpayers 15% and 801 billion.

It's.. it's a big big problem, especially in a time where the U.S hasn't had a war on it's soil in a long, long time.

I get that we go to other countries and help out a bit get involved but we have issues on our own turf killing us from the inside.

Why are you talking about me

be the problem you want to solve

Melson Gibson

I am not a nuclear physicist but have also been practicing that concept. Show me an ad that I don't want to see? I Boycott.

I get that web searches make finding knowledge easy but it kind of disturbs me that we shame people for not doing so and basically tell them "just Google it and shut up!"

Are we supposed to just never communicate with other humans aside from chit chat and personal opinions?

Never speaking to others about any info that we could glean from Google seems.. weird, doesn't it?

Who initially began the campaign of "just Google it" anyway? It sounds like an ad campaign for google

I'm confused, are you saying there's only one solar system because we've only really named our planetary system the "solar system" ?

Not to be rude but that seems pedantic because there's more than one definition and according to Merriam Webster

solar system noun: the sun together with the group of celestial bodies that are held by its attraction and revolve around it also : a similar system centered on another star

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the same site, over here https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/other-solar-systems/en/ says:

Our solar system is just one specific planetary system—a star with planets orbiting around it. Our planetary system is the only one officially called “solar system,” but astronomers have discovered more than 3,200 other stars with planets orbiting them in our galaxy.

Genuinely curious to learn as I do not know a lot about this stuff and feel like I am missing something?

Luke, I am.. my own father

When somebody who's smart believes something that seems dumb to you, doesn't that suggest that you might be wrong and/or misunderstand what they said?

With you on that but also feel that in general judging others doesn't ring as being very smart to me. I was bullied a lot growing up, judged etc. And that taught me how people's judgemental remarks can affect others which helped me avoid that train of thought myself.

I eventually became judgemental myself, for a while and realized that I was a very.. angry and sad person.

I think the biggest game-changer for me was being taught gratitude. I went from hyperfocusing on everything wrong about my life, and others to training myself to instead search for what's nice about life, and others.

So personally? Being judgemental toward another human being doesn't seem like a smart thing to do as it will just bring down others AND myself

But also.. none of us handpicked to be born in our particular bodies. None of us hand-picked and chose the circumstances we would grow up in in life, nor the variables that would change us and mold us, genetics and so many factors form a person. So judging a person that just happened to grow in a different body and think differently than myself? What good does that do? If I was born in their body instead of mine then I would think exactly the same way that they do so I am absolutely no better, none of us are. Sure people do bad things and have annoying traits but at the end of the day being mad at them and judging them does nothing because we would be exactly the same in their shoes. Want to be angry at something or judge someone I guess place that judgment at fate, the cosmos, the universe, just in general things that are out of our control and we do not understand. But people in general aren't really good or bad we are just a product of trillions of factors that we had absolutely no say in nor control of. It's not like people can just.. exit human existence for a bit become enlightened and then enter our bodies again now thinking exactly the way others think they should.. they just got what they got, and our that way because this life made them that way really.

Hadn't heard of x manager, thank you! Super giddy right now, I've been using modded versions of the apk for years but a few months ago my go-to stopped working and haven't found a viable replacement until now. Really godda give them props I'm super surprised at how easy that was lol

Also I'd used revanced but quit when the original got buggy. With how crappy their ads have gotten now I'm going to give the new version a shot thanks for mentioning that as well
