When it comes to news, I already know that very few possible events would have facts that were notable enough to change how I feel overall about the topic/event.
But, since I intentionally consume way less news than I used to, other than some Jon or John clips, I read my news.
Any fact finding I end up doing it just a hodgepodge of finding what I can through search, relying on primary sources where possible obviously.
So, when it comes to news, reddit was, and Lemmy is the place I go to be aware of events that I'd see if I watched legacy media / social media. And to just vent and maybe learn something.
I'm a title only kind of gal these days. Anything more, and I'd end up as a headline myself in short time.
If you like romance literature, I can name a few, but suffice to say, my favorite narrators are really great at lending each character their own tones, inflections, and cadence, while not being too disracting to listen too.
In traditional reading, you get used to the idea that (") before a sentence indicates that what follows is said aloud by a character, and you often don't need any context to figure out who said what. And the (") at the end indicates that what follows isn't said by them. Your brain hardly even notices them and yet you very rarely are reading dialogue without knowing its speaker, unless its the purpose of the author that you don't.
Any narrator who can help convey the concept of quotation marks as seamlessly as my brain can while reading text is very appreciated in my books.
Because everyone's is already being recorded if you're in the US placing a phone call. Not cuz they were accidentally just happened to catch you and some other guys wiretap. They don't bother with wiretaps except to justify what they're already doing in front of a court.
That's wonderful news I'm actually happy to say that was full honesty. Surely you learned in your talk therapy that you and your problems are unique Ergo so your solutions would be as well...
Which is a real doozy when you think about the duplicity it is to no longer allow a convicted citizen the right to vote, which is so strongly held by some people on all sides, almost evenly I'd say.
How it must feel, to be so cool to allow yourself the privilege of not participating, just like the criminals politics generates. 😎
Football Jerseys from a bygone era on Saturdays isn't the only indicator that someone never really grew beyond highschool.
If you have an android, check the Fdroid store, there are several apps that show you the raw output from every type of sensor on your device. I was surprised to find out several features on mine.
Exactly. The source and the setting make the difference, not the looks.
Some big wig isn't going to raise a hand in a board meeting and ask to go to the bathroom. Why not? Because they're an executive and this isn't a school room.
I've not once ever heard or seen represented any person ask something like that.... likely because its pretty easy to have the social skills to know better. So why are there so many loud men who want tk instead blame their looks when its just a refusal to abide by the same social skills?
Because most of these companies have some of the best lobbyists out there how else could they possibly get away with continuously taking money from our taxes and handing it over to them to build all these cell towers and infrastructure that they've only Built less than 5% of
No I'm saying yeah that is the thing that exists right now, and for some people that's the only way that they can have / use a phone.
Between planned obsolescence and how careless and demanding in resources even phone apps are becoming now, cheap phones are as bad as really old phonesn
All I know is that maybe instead of putting a law like this in we're going to just add the price somewhere else I say we just shut all these companies down and run this cell phone towers ourselves since all of our tax money has been going to these companies for them to build all these things that they don't ever build or they build the bare minimum to get away with nobody taking the money back and it's fucked up
Because how else are we going to have at least some models out there for people who can't fucking afford these ridiculous phone prices without doing payment plans?
Just like health insurance that's like tied into your mobile plan. We all thought we hated when we paid for minutes, and then for when we were paying for minutes and data, how naive were we.
It is currently, but education of the current voting populace began, and began to fail, long before 2025.
Believe me, i'm accutely aware of 2025. I'm preparing as best as my homeless trans ass can atm, in case me and my chosen peeps feel it best leave in a hurry.
And, while it spells out lots of shitty policy for the trumpers, I very seriously doubt that the concept isn't much more than an assembly of 1. Stating the obvious, and taking the reigns / credit for, the exploitations started by men who are long dead.
2. A group of groups/shakey collective, and their ideas on how to "take over" the government in a very "you won't believed this loophole" sort of way.
Is it possible they even mostly succeed? Abso-fucking-lutely, and I worry that its very very likely.
If the left, and those hurt by their own right leaders, cannot manage to stop this, within or outside of the government... and considering how so many opportunities to do that between now and then... then we deserve it. And i'll gtfo this place, or die trying if it comes to that.
But, given how trump post-election, no longer holds that weighty 2nd term value to the media and politicians alike, I suspect all that trump loyalty dramatically decease before midterms.
