I have my phone set to DND at all times, and I can confirm that you can allow certain notifications to come through. Only important notifications and calls from contacts come in. My peace of mind improved quite a bit with this change.

It’s culture war bullshit. I assure you, a statistically significant portion of the right believes wholeheartedly that this is a good thing. It’s exactly what they voted for.

What did he mean by this

Oof. Kinda awkward, but…

*too

I’m late to learning to drive, and I fear I could do this without realizing I’ve done it. But after this, I can tell you I wouldn’t do it again.

I just tried chatgpt with all of these failure points–a 5-letter word that fits alphabetically between amber and amble (ambit), a sentence that ends in the letter R (it ended with “door”), and a poem that rhymes (aabbccbb). These things appear to be getting ironed out quite quickly. I don’t think it’s much longer before we’ll have to make some serious concessions.

Democrats are criticized by democrats all the time. Republicans actively censor all criticism they have control over.

I think that retort is just there to point out that other social media platforms definitely will not be banned at any point, calling to question the legitimacy of the claim that the ban is because of invasive spy practices. Hypocrisy is loud.

Community is hard to come by here. It’s bad.

Cishet is the term you’re thinking of for that.

For the curious, I got two responses with different calculations and different answers as a result. So it could take anywhere from 1.5 to 7.5 billion butts to swarm mount everest. Again, I’m not checking the math because I got the answer I wanted.

Well yeah. I’m not gonna verify how many butts it takes to swarm mount everest, because that’s not worth my time. The robot’s answer is close enough to satisfy my curiosity.

If you believe women are lesser creatures whose bodies you control, what would change your mind about that?

I actually agree with you. Men did a terrible job of things, and now we have to deal with the patriarchy. Movements like 4B have been a long time coming, but I worry that men as a whole aren’t mature enough to clean up their act. Time will tell.

I appreciate the reminder that beauty is subjective. It’s been a good while since I’ve seen an opinion so inflammatory that had nothing to do with politics.

It’s not that long. You’ll be okay.

I still have people to love and things to appreciate. I know that civilization is pretty fucked right now, and I can’t say for sure there’s an other side to this tunnel we’re barreling down, but that makes it all the more imperative that I don’t take the good for granted. Despair and happiness are choices.

I don’t like this flavor of dystopia.

NOTHING PRODUCES A BETTER SHITPOST THAN AMERICAN POLITICS!!! 🗣🗣🗣

Did you choose to overlook my intentional usage of the word “chosen” just to mansplain something obvious? I did not make my choice out of ignorance, but I appreciate you assuming I did.
