They skipped the phase where all the doctors were replaced by NPs and PAs.

What we need to do is start a campaign talking about how he’s not smart enough or brave enough to try and revoke her citizenship.

Dude is easily manipulated.

You want to hear about a game to play?

Clair Obscur. Made from former Ubisoft team members in what sounds like a healthy development culture and it’s a godamnned masterpiece at every level. Visuals, art direction, story, characters, mechanics, music - it’s all stellar.

If art is good, I’ll appreciate it even when the people funding it aren’t doing it for the love of art.

I mean… the movie kinda points that out, too. The exec straight-up changes his tune on the idea of a realistic Barbie when he’s told it will sell.

It does a pretty good job of pointing out all aspects of Barbie, good and bad. From female empowerment to consumerism to the objectification of women and the issues surrounding body shaming.

It even calls out the film itself for casting an unrealistically beautiful, successful woman to play Barbie.

My recent experience with my phone is I tell it to set a 5 minute timer and it sets one in the fucking Google search browser, and if I page away I lose the timer.

Don’t research the sequel.

If he’s verbally abusive, violent, and keeps you locked up as a prisoner, he isn’t necessarily evil.

You can change him! Just be patient, accept him, and love him!

This is a bill to arrest people trying to prevent climate change.

Trump’s first impeachment was about withholding military aid from Ukraine. Nothing came of that, and nothing will come of this. Republicans don’t care about the law.

Same thing happened to me recently. Super fun loop.

1. Have panic attack
2. Symptoms mimic heart attack
3. Panic more
4. Mimics heart attack harder
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until EKG, X-ray, and blood test come back clear, and doc gives benzos.

At least now I know it’s a panic attack so it doesn’t feed itself as aggressively.

I had a Fold 3, and while I loved the form factor, the battery was shit.

The screen got broken, and I decided to upgrade to a Fold 6 so far I’m very impressed. I took it off the charger in my car at 100% on Wednesday night around 10pm, and put it back on the charger at 11:30pm Friday with 15% left.

48 hours with moderate usage (including some gaming and YouTube) is pretty good.

But non-tech people aren’t buying Faiphones, but whatever they’re pushing at the Verizon store.

Buying studios wasn’t stupid.

Doing it and putting all their products on a subscription service is.

They know they’ve destroyed the planet, so why bother planning for a future they’ve already prevented.

I’m stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.

So I’m gonna go with “No.”

That’s just because Microsoft waited until Android and iOS were well-established before trying to make a smartphone OS. It could have been the best OS ever made, and it still would have been a failure because there wasn’t a market for a third OS. It was hard enough at the time to get apps developed for both iOS and Android - there wasn’t room for a third player.

Everyone talking about how it’s because of Windows 11 or their greed driving people away, etc. But they’re ignoring the big one:

People don’t need as many computers these days. You don’t have a lot of households with a laptop for every member of the family because smartphones and tablets have replaced the PC for many people for media consumption and basic tasks.

Sometimes re-wiring a house or building isn’t as practical as setting up a mesh network that’s good-enough.

It’s a bad band for cellular. It’s short-range and shit at penetration.

It’s really not even that good for wifi unless you’re close or have a mesh network with APs all over the building.
