It has an SD card slot! Thanks for sharing this!!

I’ve finally been feeling the urge to move on from my galaxy S10 but haven’t been able to find anything remotely worth considering.

Can you clarify? You’re saying you don’t currently want to try TT because you don’t think it’s existed long enough, and/or that you didn’t try it before because you didn’t think it would last that long?

Idk dude, the latter would literally be exactly what people said about the Internet. “It’s just a fad”, “it won’t go anywhere/be useful/last long”.

I mean, our ineffective af government was somehow able to rally bipartisan support against this very popular app that many Americans use to create/manage/advertise their businesses, one that is the only slightly left-leaning social media site and one that isn’t controlled by American oligarchs. But you still think it’s not important?

That’s fair. lol. Agree to disagree. They’re not coming for “us” at least!

Anyone else feel like millennials/xoomers that refuse to use Tiktok are as out of touch as boomers that refused to try using the Internet? The sound almost exactly the same

I would hate to be that stubborn

Is there one with an algorithm that comes even half as close?

I don’t use it much but I’ve never used an app with as good an algorithm. Maybe Instagram comes close

Fuckkkk!!! Not my vitamin gummies!

I liked it but I also felt it was a bit outdated. I’ve gone back to it a couple times but during that, admittedly scattered, time I finished Taking Charge of Adult ADHD by Dr. Barkley and then recently started How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe.

I’ll admit my opinion/openness to the book changed after I learned how effective and well-researched medication is and noticed he mentions a few times in the first few chapters how he doesn’t seem to believe the science or just disregards it.

Note: Just checked and realized Dr. Barkley’s book first came out only a year after Dr. Mate’s so I guess they’re originally not that far apart.

2015 Honda Civic SI - best sports car I could get for the price. Great value car; still running perfectly almost 10 yrs later (afaikct). The interior was also much better compared to others.

Probably not getting a new car ever due to all the “smart” features cars come with that I really don’t like.

I don’t like your take. It’s not cynical or pessimistic enough

If we’re just pulling shit out of our ass, maybe this will encourage conspiracy nuts to actually learn about political organizing and the rich history of well-documented movements from the last 100+ yrs that have resulted in real change/benefits for the working class

Hell, maybe people will even start reading more! Like, stuff written by authors and shit. lol. Now, that’d be some crazy. lol. I wonder if Musk “and his friends” could ever pull that one off - getting Americans to read/learn - even with their infinite money hacks

Crazy stuff. Now, hurry up and pass that shit! You’re hoggin it

I’m not white though, pretty sure they’d assume I did something illegal as soon as I opened the door. lol. How would calling the crazy racists on steroids with guns cops help? Seems like a very unnecessary risk. Also, why would I be in a courtroom due to my home getting robbed?

I’m not a homeowner, but guessing that applies for renter’s insurance too. Never had to use it, thankfully, but that’s def good info to have! If robbed, leave drugs at friend’s house so you can make an insurance claim.

I wonder if you actually have to interact with a cop for that. Really adds insult to injury (again, if you’re not white of course)

Since everyone’s just saying their favorite game, I’ll say The Finals!

It’s fuckin great! It’s the first FPS in years that gets me legit excited to play. I like that the game requires decent strategy, movement, and teamwork to get wins and not just good aim/luck. Everything about it feels fresh. Best of all it’s freaking free. A free AAA game in 2024 that’s more than decent and has an awesome dev team? Sign me up!

It’s wild to me that it’s not huge compared to games that go mainstream (not gonna mention names. lol), but I’ll appreciate it while it’s here.

No? What did I say that made you think I’m a trump supporter? I’m criticizing folks for celebrating harm coming to their fellow Americans.

No? I’m honestly not sure I understand your question about the civil war. The parallel throws me off because the point I’m making is Dems are maybe not “just as racist” as Rs but the fact they’re proving latinos were seen as pawns to be used when the Dems platform was basically everything Rs wanted while Trump was in office (minus family separations. let me know if you think I’m totally off). There’s certainly parallels to the civil war, the Northerners absolutely did not like it when free black American citizens first started to move there when fleeing terrorism I’m the South. That’s how we got red-lining and the modern for-profit prison system.

I am absolutely not doing what you’re saying. Let me know how I came off that way. I’m trying to be as specific as possible here. People that are celebrating bad things happening to their fellow Americans. Stop. That’s it. That is gross, to me. I think it’s bad philosophy and atrocious politics. We’re not in a civil war, we’re discussing how our fellow citizens voted not how they shot at our kids. Wait, it’s not even that. We’re simply discussing Americans that didn’t know anything.

Here’s my silly accusatory question: Our people didn’t vote. Because of that we celebrate latinos being deported?

Wish this could be a light conversation. This is truly not that serious. It’s a chat on fuckin lemmy (imagine this place is huge one day. lol)

What exactly are you referring to? I’m saying I think it’s gross to celebrate bad things happening to people you disagree with. If my brother was happy that I was scammed, I’d think he’s a dick. If he later said he actually cared about me I’d remember him laughing.

I simply don’t see my fellow Americans as the enemy, I see them as people I disagree with. I see the wealthy people and the institutions that protect them as the enemy. Helping to divide poor people is very much against what I’d consider good politics

You’re saying leftist accelerationists are saying that? Weren’t they saying don’t vote/vote Trump because that will help people realize they need change or some bs like that? How did/does it seem like I’m saying that? What did I comment that caused you to have that assumption/reaction to what I was saying? The election’s over. Votes are cast. Let’s not be sore losers. Let’s talk. Let’s learn. Idk, back to basics time, to me. This is not the time to say I knew/know everything, no one better try to approach me with an alternative POV

That said, I get there’s a lot of pressure from bad actors testing literally everything we believe in.

If I say, the earth isn’t a perfect sphere and that actually it’s a bit oval/elliptical (or whatever or supposedly is) and then someone answers all pissy and asking me to prove it, do you really think I’m likely to help them understand my position if I find them rude and annoying? Most people that genuinely want to understand others’ point of view don’t say things like “or was that someone else’s fault?” They say things like"can you explain why you think that?" or maybe “I’ve been thinking xyz, why is it you think abc instead?”

I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m trying to do the exact opposite of celebrating anyone’s misfortune. That’s kinda gross, to me

I know people that can’t even vote that are likely going to have to seriously consider what states they visit or worse. It’s wild that people that supposedly voted against it now support it because they want to feel good about themselves. Classic American shit, tbh

“I’ma be disrespectful to you, but I expect you to teach me!”

This ain’t a debate. lol. If you want people to share their knowledge with you, come correct. Most people would be happy to share information. When you act all dishonest it makes no one want to even talk to you unless they agree with you

Lol. How brave /s

Show your true colors y’all! Finally, you can stop pretending you truly care about struggling Americans that don’t share the same values as you - coincidentally, exactly like your slightly more racist/white-supremacist neighbors

Hopefully we can at least admit rural folks are absolutely correct in feeling like we hate them. I mean, that still won’t win us any elections but it’s a step in the right direction - one towards a more honest party

Now tell us your thoughts on latinos that don’t agree with you. What do you hope happens to them?

Lotta libs soundin real fuckin evil lately

Yeah, I’ve just got the book “Enemy of All Mankind” which is about the period of time when the East India Co. was just getting going. Apparently that time intersects with three big shifts: the first international pirate manhunts, the start of the British Empire, and the creation of the corporation. It tells a crazy story and I absolutely loved it

Hasan Poker ain’t for everyone but he’s super knowledgeable and provides great context for ongoing issues. I mainly watch on YouTube so the clips are edited down and even more context (charts, sources, etc) are added.
