  • Now that you mention it, I have an apple leather case from the 12 era on right now and the patina pattern is absolutely horrendous. I might need to put some oil over it or something.

  • I was gonna say… I already have an “everything” app called a web browser.

  • Well, I hope we get a list of businesses that comply so hopefully I can just uninstall those.

  • I don’t disagree, but who needs an official controller from Apple when you can just use one from Sony, Microsoft, or some other company that actually specializes in gaming controller hardware? I don’t know if the engineers at Apple actually play enough games to know what people like in their controllers.

  • I don’t know about those other shows, but I think that’s a perfect approach for One Piece. It’s just silly kid fun from start to finish.

  • It’s like he learned the word in his own medical checkup and decided to throw it at Biden.

  • Met my wife through a dating app. I was just honest about who I was, what my own shortcomings were, and the kind of person that interests me. Was indifferent to short-term or long-term preferences. Only got a a very small number of hits, but they were much more on the mark as far as I was concerned than if I just went to a bar and tried to meet people. I didn’t try to push myself or anyone I met into anything heavier than food or a flick, and just let the friendship grow into whatever she was comfortable with. When I was bored, I’d ask her if she wanted to meet up for lunch or something. That was it.

    I think it helped that, while lonely, I was perfectly fine being without a partner at that time. I felt happy with my life, and I didn’t want to give anything up to make someone else happy. You gotta love yourself first before loving anyone else, otherwise it just isn’t fair to anybody.

  • One fun thing about kbin is that websites that get posted frequently can be followed or blocked like their own magazine. This means if you’ve got a bunch of bot accounts posting links to the same dumb site, you can just go to the magazine of that site and just block that instead of playing whack-a-mole with bots.

  • I don’t know anything about One Piece other than the fact it’s really long and super popular.

    I heard the Netflix show was pleasing fans so I threw it on when my wife was around and we both ended up getting into it. We haven’t finished the whole season yet, but we will.

    It reminds me of watching power rangers back in the 90s as a kid. The dialog is really elementary and clearly targets kids, but the character acting is endearing, and it’s fun to look up the original illustrations because the casting and costumes are so spot on.

    I’m particularly fond of how each episode goes through some kind of story and character development, but always climaxes on some big fight scene, just like in the old power rangers shows. It’s like soul food for me.

  • Couldn’t they just make it look like something that isn’t an ad? Such as a fake video or false “download” button?

  • If you read most of those articles, though, this narrative is unfortunately not usually emphasized.

  • Sorry for the late reply. I got a new job and the work load is pretty overwhelming. It’s fun, but there is a lot of prep work and very little in terms of help or remuneration on that end.

  • I really like that the pro models are allowing “special video” now. I’d want that, except by the time I can actually afford a “pro” iPhone, that feature might be built into the non-pro models.

  • Why would anyone want to buy a USB C to lightning dongle at this point? They can just buy a cheap USB C cable now.

  • The no.1 thing I’m looking forward to is improved autocorrect.

  • Well meat farms produce a lot of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas, so reducing any kind of demand from a ranch is probably better than nothing. That said, I thought the leather used for iPhones weren’t from animals we’d traditionally use for eating. Moleskin or something?

  • The dude is a bit of a meathead who will listen to anyone he has interest in for better or worse. I enjoyed his show for a while because I generally enjoy hearing people share their thoughts on things, even if sometimes they end up seeming a little off. As it so happens, I was just as willing to hear out criticisms against his show as well when I started noticing those. Then I just kind of lost interest. It can be a fun show to listen to, but it’s kind of like a dude-bro celebrity magazine-turned-podcast for people who fantasize about being rich and smarter than everyone else. I like to call him “Joe Brogan” now because I think it fits.

  • I find the fact that a household name brand news agency used “greenlighted” as if it were correct English mildly infuriating.
