In my first programming class in what Americans would call middle school (I was in grade 9), we got introduced to scratch and used it to draw penises lol.
It's either the Free State or Limpopo. Though if I had to pick one it would be Limpopo, it's the only province where the majority of white people voted to keep and continue apartheid during the referendum in 1992. While I've never been to the US, that sounds like it would fit the Alabama stereotype. Though jokes about dating cousins is usually aimed at people from Brakpan and Danville, but those are specific towns which have their own character.
Yeah a box/bag of oatmeal would easily be cheaper than that box of cereal, takes three minutes to cook, and would be much healthier than the cereal, even if you need to add a bunch of sugar to it to make it palatable to kids.
This photograph is just a unique situation that seems to occur in industrialised nations with food deserts. Where this kind of food can be made very cheaply, and even the poor have the purchasing power to afford it. These kind of ready made meals and snacks are usually very expensive in South Africa (except for the ramen/two minute noodles, those are always cheap). No way would a poor person here buy some microwave pizza over a bag of rice or pap.
You're going to have to use what people around you use. Weather it's Whatsapp, Instagram groups, whatever. That is part of life. I'm forced to use WhatsApp because it's what everyone in my country uses. The alternative is having no contact with anybody.
Is this the most privacy friendly approach? No, of course not. But we all have to make compromises to live in the modern world, and this is one of them.
Outside of crying because of physical pain (chronic pain sucks), 6 years ago was the last time. I don't know exactly why, it's just doesn't happen, even if I'm feeling really bad.
Only android phone with tensor is Google pixel. There is much more to android than that. I still get 9-10 hours screen on time, off of one charge on a three year old android device with a 120hz screen. Apple definitely tracks you and free apps definitely have ads. On Android, private DNS allows you to essentially block ads system wide. And Android has advantages such as pop up and multi window apps for multitasking, I've been using that for 10 years now, since the galaxy S4. Apple still does not have this feature on the iPhone, only the iPad.
The advantages of an iPhone are the cohesive software experience with top class hardware and a premium feel, with top class video quality. In that they are alone at the top.
As an atheist that was raised as an evangelical Christian, probably using the Lord's name in vain interestingly enough. Like going "thank God/Jesus" when something good happens, "oh God/lord" when shit hits the fan, and using Christ's name as a swear word. I know it's supposed to a sin in the Christian religion, but it's the one thing I still do.
30? Damn I wish I made it that far. I think I've had chronic back pain for as long as I can remember. But that's because my spine is all messed up so I know I'm not a representative example here.
I mean a lot of hexbear, and Lemmy in general, is like that. Just shitting on other people's happiness over the most trivial of things, bringing out 500 reasons why thing sucks. And it's done in a hypocritical manner too, if you were to apply their own logic to things they liked and criticise it, they'd get really angry or give you that fake "I don't care" attitude that everyone can see through. This happens with every discussion about "treats" on hexbear in particular.
I only use it for sports discussion, as the third party app I use still works with a patched version. If the third party app stops working, I'll stop. It's not like the discussion on Reddit is high quality anyways.

Putting my bracelet on that my family gave me every time I leave the house. It makes me feel as if they're with me.
