They’re using a stick to hold up the facade of adulthood

Same. People always assume I’m a smaller clothing size than I actually am because of this. A (new, Karen) colleague recently asked if I’m on Ozempic because of my face. Like no it’s not Ozempic face, it’s my face.

ELI5 please?

Didn’t know about Barclays! Thank you for educating me.

I’m afraid not. You can have Google Wallet installed but you can’t have bank cards on it on GrapheneOS.

I loved it too until I forgot my wallet one day. It’s the one thing I had to go back to stock Android for because I forget everything but my phone constantly.

Same. What a letdown.

He’s old. Can’t be much longer now.

The only correct answer.

Also slavery was typically nowhere near as a different sort of brutal in that era. Still brutal and terrible, but not “working people to death and then shipping in more people to work to death” brutal.

Edit: changed my wording because slavery has always been fucking horrible, e.g. eunuchs

Speaking of Alvin, for anyone who didn’t know, he’s recovered his own channel and has recently uploaded!

And check your local inheritance laws. Some places will take pre-death gifts into account depending on how long the time between gift and death is. The UK, as an example, looks at gifts made up to 7 years before a person’s death. It’s messed up.

Asexuality isn’t a gender. We’re just not attracted to people of any gender. Our gender identity is separate.

Fuck Nestlé

Because they don’t worship God. They worship Trump.

Glad to see I’m not the only one! Same phone, same OS, same issue here too.

They are indeed some spiteful ass cunts.

Ain’t nobody’s standards that low

Hush, the pond folk have spoken! Their word is absolute.

And this is why I refuse to take part in selfie culture. Shit’s dangerous. When can we go back to the anonymous internet of yore?

I think part of the issue is that there’s a lot more predatory shit on the internet nowadays. I say this as a person who has had unfettered access to the internet since my tweens. Social media and The Algorithms have changed the internet, and not necessarily for the better.

Just as a for-instance, if you go to YouTube on a freshly installed browser without logging in, the front page is kind of wild. Then the algorithm will pull you down a rabbit hole and kids who haven’t been taught that they’re being manipulated are going to start taking everything as fact from people like Tate.

We didn’t have things trying to get in our heads to this extent; while I do wish the kids had their freedom, I also recognise that the internet has become hell. I can understand why parents would try to shield their kids from that.
