I've had no issues with adblocker for over half a year. Works flawlessly on both browser and mobile browser.

And this is why I keep making new accounts before people start recognizing me.

Can't really name a specific one so I'll go with:

Ice Cream Truck In The 'Hood

Honestly, her family being Muslim is one of the more understandable reasons for not telling them. The doctrine of Islam quite directly prohibits a Muslim woman from dating a non-Muslim, or “infidel,” so the fear of backlash isn’t exactly unfounded.

In her defence, who ever was running the government while Biden was drooling in the corner probably did a better job than the current administration.

Could probably charge a cellphone from it slowly but for free.

Reducing half of the country’s population to a caricature like that is neither true nor helpful. Conservatives aren’t all the same - no more than Democrats are. You’d call them out for that kind of generalization, so you should hold yourself to the same standard.

Atheist is a bit of an stupid term anyway. It's like saying I'm non-golfer.

My understanding is that Jordan doesn’t believe the Bible is literally true, but rather metaphorically true - in the same way people believe a porcupine can throw its quills. It can’t, factually speaking, but if you live as though it can, you’re probably better off than someone who doesn’t and ends up getting too close.

I used to be on lemm.ee before but I don't remember it being any different that the other instances I've tried. I feel like it only affects where I post from, not what I read.

That being said, I haven't had any issues with feddit.uk even though my opinions often aren't particularly popular here.

I never liked him. Not for any particular reason really. It's just the vibe I'm getting from him. He doesn't seem authentic.

was once extremely good at making seemingly impossible things happen.

Seeing them land the Starship booster on the chopsticks - I'd say that he still is.

I like him. He feels like one of the only podcast guests out there who actually acknowledges that not everyone works in an office or a startup.

He's hardly a celebrity but I'd say Van Neistat (Casey's brother)

I was all in when he started his YouTube channel and found him really relatabe and interesting but it took less than half a year and it became painfully obvious that he's only doing it for the money and it shows. That's about the fastest I've gone from discovering a new interesting person to losing my respect for them.

Probably not. Podcasts have had a pretty dramatic impact on my worldview, and I don’t think I would’ve been exposed to many of those ideas otherwise. My political views would likely still be more or less the same, and the same goes for religion - or rather, the lack of it - since it doesn’t play a big role in my culture. But the way I see the world and other people would definitely be different.

No, it's called having preferences. There are certain types of women I wouldn't date either but I'd have no problem being their friend. When it comes wanting a "housewife" it's only a problem if you're imposing that on someone whose not into it. However many are and there's nothing wrong wanting to find one like that.

It’s funny how, back in the day, getting a new phone meant immediately going through all the ringtones to pick the one you liked best. Nowadays, most people - myself included - just leave it on the default. I honestly can’t remember the last time I changed a ringtone or message tone. I might have on my old Nokia N73, but not since. The alarm tone I do change, though - I don’t need to be screamed at first thing in the morning. Just the vibration alone is enough to wake me up.

That said, I’ve actually been considering changing the ringtones for both of my SIM cards. Apparently everyone here has a Samsung, and nobody seems to change their ringtone - so every time I’m at the hardware store and a phone rings, you get like seven builders all pulling out their phones at once. Since I don’t particularly enjoy talking on the phone, every time I hear my ringtone - even if it’s from someone else’s phone - it gives me this little PTSD flash.

It never was. Hallucinations are in no way unique to LLMs.

I hardly ever remember my dreams when I wake up, but the ones I do, for the most part, are quite realistic except for the fact that I'm suddenly in a completely weird place and often with people I don't even hang with.

How could you have prevented this one when suicide was never explicitly mentioned?
