A 12 (TWELVE) year old cannot consent in the UK. So that's a strawman argument.

I have the ghosrtery extension on Firefox, I have it set to auto reject all tracking cookies, and reject all third party "legitimate interest" cookies. I've heard there's other extensions that do the same, and maybe better, but I already have it set the way I want.

As long as you're good in and of yourself, that's the important bit.

Clean for basically spitting distance of 20 years. Happily living my best life.
Thanks comrade, hope you're doing as well as you can.

Aight, yeah, I'm into that!

Yeah, it's a motherfucker like that. Least it didn't turn into a habit. That's basically what happened to me, but then I wasn't able to kick it for 2 years. Went From 280lbs to 160 in like 7 months. The thing that pulled me out was getting busted for committing a crime. And by that point I wanted out, but had no idea how to.

Only thing I've done that fucked my life worse than crack was meth, and only by margins that could easily be a rounding error.....

Still using it, so still going right now.

Sell all inclusive tickets for the full value of their hoarded wealth, then distribute it to those who need it the most. And instead of Mars, they land on the moon and the atmosphere vents.

I also have fingers that don't listen to my brain. The struggle is real! ✊️

Edit: just finally looked at a map....pretty sure West Ukraine would used to have been Poland.....

Thank fuck, finally a sane measurement system!

Well, that depends on which end of Ukraine just got a bit bigger. Could be West Ukraine, could be North or East Ukraine too, my world geography is absolutely abysmal, so I wouldn't be able to say for sure.

Modern phone makers don't consider you as part of their demographic.

Ouch....fair, but ouch....

Sure, on-board is stupid fast. I don't need stupid fast to hold my photos and videos for work, or my 100+gb of music for on the go that I change up semi-regularly. What I use my sd for is pure storage, and I now don't want to further upgrade to a new phone as I either have to pay through the nose for storage, or sacrifice some device power and build quality to be able to have expandable memory. You cannot with a straight face tell me phones don't need expandable memory, because they really do. I can't even count how many time my wife has had poor/no reception and was trying to show me a photo from years ago, but her iPhone couldn't grab a high quality image from the cloud. On a road trip, her Spotify sometimes doesn't work due to no signal/roaming. I currently don't have that problem. Most of the music I am listening to frequently is on my sd card, I have backups of ROMs for if I wanna play an SNES or DS game or whatever, I have the important photos from the last decade. It's all just there because I can slap a 512gb sd into my phone.

Or a headphone jack, yes, a large number of people have wireless earbuds....but the audio quality off them isn't amazing, and goddammit I wanna plug my really nice headphones in, or connect to a stereo without needing to use a Bluetooth dongle or....or....fuck....idk....just stupid. The big players saw apple cutting all that away(barring expandable memory, they never had that as far as I know) and said fuck what people want, apple can dictate what their customers want, and we want to too! And then getting a device with enough on-board storage is hundreds of extra capitalism tokens. It's a fuckin mess....

performs secret S9 handshake

Mine's in a drawer with the battery removed. If I need a backup phone it's always there. I upgraded about a year and a half ago to the S20FE as it was the most recent with expandable memory. I don't hate it, but it's certainly no where near as good for it's time as the S9 was. My major gripe? The ringtone is so quiet that I often can't hear it from my pocket in a silent room. Which is absolutely ridiculous as the speaker's decently loud. The only way to make notification volume louder is to put a custom ROM on it. I'm perfectly happy to do that, just need to hold off until November when warranty ends, just in case something happens that isn't my fault.

Edit: goddamn I miss the notification LED.......

Yeah, one country spanning 11 time zones is a bit much. They have just shy of 145 million residents. And burden on the government or no, there's loads of areas in the far reaches that I'm sure would just rather be their own country.

and both are described as SDUC UHS-I cards that are “built for tomorrow’s smartphones, gaming devices, drones, cameras, and laptops.”

Gaming devices: ✅️
Drones: ✅️
Cameras: ✅️
Smartphones: ❌️

Basically every current flagship phone, and you know that's what they mean, has done away with expandable memory....

Yeah, used to love bidets, then I sat down drunk and accidentally nudged it full blast full cold. The hemorrhoids I got the next day were brutal. So now I use tp cause the worst that can happen while drunk is I need to wash my hand a bit more thoroughly than usual....

I mean, it might legit be more comfortable to wipe with a pinecone or stinging nettle. So take that humble brag as you will, but sometimes the grass isn't cushier on the other cheek.
