  • Honestly, it's not crazy to me. I am not as rigid about those things but I avoid them pretty hard in my own way. I don't buy stuff with a launcher either. Likewise haven't played rdr2. I block every ad I can. I don't pay for streaming unless it is completely ad free and don't habe any regular tv services. If ads are at a theater (i usually only go to ones that just don't play ads) I won't wait outside (gotta get my good seat), but I will ignore them and dick around on my phone till they stop.

  • Fellow WP enthusiast here, bought a wp7 on day 1. MS just couldn't keep from fucking it up. Such a great opportunity with great phones, and soooo much more responsive than the androids at the time. But they couldn't draw in the apps they needed, pushed to the wrong group of people targeting business types weirdly, and then they just kept ruining it with the updates. I miss the early WP days, and music wise I loved zune, it was so much nicer to use than the garbage that was itunes, but once wp got to 10 it started to lose a lot of the charm. I held on to the bitter end and then a little after. So fucking depressing.

  • Nuance isn't allowed on the internet. Not just lemmy. Reddit was the same. Forums are the same. Hell if there was a forum dedicated to nuance, it wouldn't allow nuance. Just pretend everyone is highly autistic and you will land more often than not.

  • No worries, I don't take it as argumentative, just expressing your opinion, same as me. 🙂

    My general thought is, if you don't like where you live AND you can leave, take action and go. But in many cases, leaving just isn't an option. I know this all too well. I hate Oklahoma. I hate the politics of it. I hate that it's always 20 years in the past compared to any other state. I hate the people wanting to strike up a convo while I'm in line to get my groceries. I hate the "good ol boy" culture and the obsession over sports trucks and hunting. I hate so much about this place. But I can't afford to leave. I've tried to save many times but wages are so suppressed here and getting an out of state job is such a bitch, I can't. Still trying a decade down the road with the same road blocks and will keep trying till I die.

    But until then, I vote in everything I can. I try to make it work. I take opportunity to disagree with bad politics when I can. I try to make the best of what I've got. Because I can't do anything else. Do what you can, when you can, where you are is my general philosophy for this. Bit rambly but hope that makes sense.
