  • I've heard that newer generations are becoming less tech literate on average than previous generations. They don't try to fix their device, they just expect it to work. When it doesn't, they don't have the troubleshooting skills to fix it. They never had the opportunity to learn them.

  • The Roe v Wade decision and the Chevron decision literally happened under Biden, a democrat. Before you butter up the Democrats as the second coming of Christ, consider that the Democrats are literally in power and have been for the last four fucking years of hell. It's not that those decisions don't matter, it's that the venn diagram of what your vote can possibly do, and the ways to reverse those decisions, it looks like this: O O

  • A couple of the "mistakes" are actually just normal. The winglets one, the angle is maybe a little extreme, but planes have upturned winglets. The asymmetric engines, that's one way to transport a jet engine, just bolt it onto the wing of a plane.

  • "Proper spelling and grammar" according to whom? Is the example you gave incorrect, or just a different dialect of English? AAVE, for example, often gets delegitimized because black people are supposedly less educated, can't speak "properly", whatever. But the thing about that is AAVE has its own unique grammar quirks, like habitual "be" as in "I be working".

    As well, my own dialect has quirks that sound wrong to American ears, (such as the very start of this sentence) but if you try and correct me on them I will politely tell you to fuck an icicle.

  • If you're a fan of customization and getting your home screen just how you like it, KLWP and Nova Prime.

    Nova Prime is a launcher with a bunch of customization options for how your app drawer works, how apps are laid out, how big they are, how folders look, etc. I use it for the fact that i can set folders to have the icon of the first app inside, and a gesture so that tapping them opens that app, while swiping up opens the folder.

    KLWP is essentially Rainmeter for Android.

  • I don't speak Spanish, but is there a reason this works well as a mnemonic? Like is there a reason you can't misremember it as la izquierda oprime y la derecha libera? Because the English phrase works by alliteration.

    Edit: i guess if you think of it in terms of politics that helps
