Could be internal damage. At least, that was the case with my old phone.

Yugoslavia

Is this a Serbian meme I’m too genocided to understand?

One of the positives of the AI ad page shitshow defining current search engines is that pirating written content has never been easier. In all likelihood, there’s a full site rip visible by simply searching for the contents of an article, recipe, book, whatever. Bonus, no ads.

“o_o”

Do you not understand what that means to ethnic Koreans? It’s derived from the 1940s Japanese expressicon often used after they dressed slaves like animals to amuse themselves. The Koreans were no longer people in their eyes, they were less. Less than human, less than even beasts. They were servile dolls to be toyed with and discarded, which reflected in the Japanese refusing to use names or even the word “who.” The progenitor of your emote was often used as follows:

“(。O ω O。) what is this?”

If silksong is bad, I’m legitimately going to have an existential crisis.

Never doubt your ability to be influenced by propaganda. The technique that broke the internet in 2015, lying and then confirming the lie more convincingly with a second account, is still very successful today.

The overwhelming majority of users who came from Reddit seem to be ~19 and lack any degree of EQ, for better and worse. It’s homogenized into the old Reddit crowd but slightly more progressive, which has perplexed me. I still prefer it here, it’s an objectively better time sink than Reddit, especially since they switched their algorithm to cater to fake stories and celebrities. When AITA comes here, I’m moving to mastodon.

Edit: you’re welcome to downvote, it doesn’t change the very noticeable inability to recognize “stallman was right”

I get next go on the spiked nipple net.

No, there’s a completely separate dev and backend. It’s very much its own thing.

Do you prefer to use apps for any reason? I don’t. Kbin is the only one with a decent web interface, and has more features. Also it allows you to see mastodon posts.

If you’re really hard up for caffeine, purchase pure caffeine powder. $20 is enough to satiate an average person for a year, or to overdose daily for a month.

Well, it’s equal parts joke and legitimate question. I find social lines, like friend and acquaintance, similarly blurred. “Pet” is so vague.

At what point does an life form become a pet? Can a particularly mobile carnivorous plant be a pet? If you refuse to take down a spider web and shoo flies toward it, does the spider become a pet? If you release ladybugs in your apartment to cull aphids, are they pets? If you briefly tend a goat to sacrifice it to Morlak, lord of dreams, to steal everything but your landlord’s nightmares, is the goat a pet?

I absolutely cannot keep track of the layers of betrayal and reconciliation. Anyone who tells you that an issue in the Middle East is certain is, at best, benignly unaware. It is utterly unsalvageable on both sides.

Your dog is adorable! And hopefully patient. How long did it take to get them to sit still for the picture?

Cave Johnson still has the best lemon quote. invidious link

Not particularly. If you’ve ever discussed anything of substance with an amateur colleague in your field, you might find novelty in the fresh perspective or even some minor nostalgia. When they meet, Bella is less than a colleague of life. She is a strangely shaped Labrador, which is fitting in that he grooms the shit out of her.

The werewolf I understand entirely. They’re both awkward, horny kids trying to find their place. The century old vampire creeping on a teenager is where it gets weird.

Just a heads up, your post might be taken as tankie rhetoric. It’s relatively common outside of .world.
