I feel like a lot of the issue is because the new operating systems are a lot more power intensive and Google play services is always doing so much in the background, you need a super heavy battery just to get an all day battery life whereas older phones could get the same battery life with a lighter/smaller battery and less OS bloat.

Agreed. I honestly contemplated the Fairphone when my Samsung s7 finally died in April, but I ended up just getting the newest Samsung because it was smaller and most familiar to me. But oh how I miss the SD card slot.

Of course. I'm just seeing that this is a sign of where we are headed.

What is the benefit of "complete commoditization of m/f intersexual dynamics"?

Until we fully understand all of the processes in morphogenesis and hormone changes in prenatal development (hint: we don't), I see this pursuit as reckless at best. Furthermore why are we pursuing this in people when the "artificial womb" that happened with sheep was shaky?

A diversified profile needs to exist to meet fluctuating demand. I think energy storage or some long term reliance on natural gas is baked in to any sort of emergency response, because nuclear is harder to adjust willy nilly. But yeah it's hard to ignore the largest low-carbon baseload power source

Even Margaret Thatcher made a speech about global warming. George HW Bush also believed in it.

Yes, the same way America is outsourcing most of our carbon emissions whenever we claim to be reducing them, it is tiring. However the fact that they continue to also poison us directly by evading or influencing environmental regulations and lie about that stuff too - I wish I could see a beatdown.

They have now shifted to saying that they're part of the clean energy revolution or something of that sort. I started seeing commercials with this rhetoric a few years ago, but I see even more now.

Made this mistake before. I was downloading mods for a game where all the mods were from angelfire sites that are now dead. People often didn't even credit themselves in the readme.txt because the game community was very small, and a lot of the people playing it were old and are deceased now, relying on other dead link sites to work. I wish I had done a better job tracking where I got all my files so I could share them and keep those people's legacy alive. Several of the sites were archived on archive.org wayback machine, but unfortunately all the zip files linked on there download as empty files. It's probably my biggest computer-related regret.

Affected a lot of people I know. Very disheartened by this.

>infected with the parasite directly from touching the native grass

Next time someone says "touch grass", I'll remember this, and say "No thanks, I don't want brain worms."

It might appear normalized in the bar and club area of a huge city. This gives a culturally specific context to where and when people would advertise or talk about onlyfans.

In my frame of reference you are too familiar with the industry to see how normalized it actually is for most people.

Regardless of race, it shouldnt be on the road if it cannot detect jaywalkers at night wearing all black. Where I live POC are more likely to be the pedestrians because it's an immigrant-heavy community. I've seen a white guy jaywalking at night wearing all black in between street lights but I couldn't tell he was white until he got across the street and I could see him head-on.
