Drinking alcohol or buying it? Because in Britain it’s 18 to buy it yourself but 5 to have it at home.

ass covering

Does that mean covering it with a picture of your own bum or is that just how I make my memes?

Other way round for me, my IRL time contains the serious shit, I come online for escapism

Do you want to see people suffering? Because that’s fucked up.

Firstly, that sounds like a shit situation to be in, so please don’t think I’m dismissing your struggles here.

I don’t live in the same country as you and I have no power to even slightly affect your political situation. I read enough bad news about stuff that I at least have a chance to get involved in that sometimes I want to read some funnies on the internet without having to read about another shit situation. It’s not because I don’t care, it’s because it’s not worth stressing out further about something I cannot do anything about.

So yeah, that’s why people don’t want so see US politics everywhere. Just because something is very important doesn’t mean it’s very important to everyone.

As the other commenter said it’s about the hardware really. I tested it out on a really old device first to make sure it actually worked - it did but at a glacially slow pace. The new box is pretty snappy though!

My condolences on the divorce

They Live called it in 1988!

To be fair to those soulless coldblooded monsters it is literally their job to maximise profits, and if they fail they will be replaced with an equivalent bastard

Tangentially related, I recently replaced my Chromecast with a “Chromecast with Google TV”. It’s an Android TV box which you can install SmartTube on and cast YouTube with no ads. Yes, I am aware of the irony of paying Google for new hardware instead of paying them for their ad-free service, but the new device cost less than 2 months of YouTube Premium and I like tinkering.

Don’t forget that it’s riding heavily on the cinematic style of The Matrix. Doesn’t matter though, still an excellent movie, especially if you watched it as a teenager!

Makes sense, and it’s also a more unique acronym

When did the term change from CP to CSAM? Seems like everyone changed overnight.

East-Asian megacorps are kind of on a different scale if you’re not used to it though

Yes, you have described the concept of a troll, well done.

You’re allowed to type fuck on the internet you know

Ah fair point. You could run WhatsApp in a work profile or on a second device, but you’d probably have to jump through some hoops with a second phone number.

How are either of those better?

So what do they do when you say “I don’t have a smartphone”?
