That's what moved me off the Apple ecosystem. Can't use any of my apps unless I update my phone, every update made my phone continually slower.

For it to be needed regularly.

Once upon a time you could drop one of those in every third thread. People really just out here saying anything on the internet.

Ah, yes. "Interpretation", of a thousands-year-old text, originally written by men to control other men, in Hebrew and translated at least three times in sequence before reaching even the predecessor of the popular King James Bible, then the apostles wrote the whole New Testament at minimum 50 years after all the alleged events contained within and possibly up to a couple hundred years later, then the whole thing was gutted, reordered and rewritten by old King James himself, then it was passed through the grubby mitts of between 10 and 30 generations of southern baptist-esque preacher before finally reaching the ears of the modern avid churchgoer.

If you think a single word in that book still holds the original meaning that it was written with, and more so if you think any part of that book is a factual account of events, I have several bridges to sell you. If not even that is enough to spark a little bit of self reflection, I invite you to investigate the Mormons and see what happens when religious ""interpretation"" is allowed to run free without restraint.

Barrier free washrooms should not exist anywhere, for any reason. What the fuck are you on about. Have some sense of basic human rights and privacy, please.

If you want to go drop a turd on live TV, that's on you, but under no circumstances are the rest of us to be subjected to that. Absolutely fucking not.

I spent 12 years in American public school during which greater than 70% of the student body had cell or smart phones and 100% of them were successfully banned. If the phone is visible during the school day and you aren't currently receiving a phone call from the President or from your parents on their way to the hospital, phone goes in the teacher's desk. You get it back at the end of the day.

Its not that difficult at all.

Relatively simple actually, without copyright. Download Spotify, rename app to Spudify, re-upload to app store. Done, easy peasy. Hardest part about it would be decompiling the existing app, which is definitely possible and may not even be necessary.

The real truth is, however, that in this hypothetical world there would be no Spotify to copy and there would be much, much less music available to stream on Spudify.

SFM has been the patron saint of shitpost videos for decades. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that's not easily replicated, you can always tell when something has been made in SFM and I think it's become a part of the DNA of that subset of memes.

And you don't know what a source is.

It would also help if I were served ads that even attempt to approach the vicinity of my own interests. That is vanishingly rare.

Yeah but we got all the dys without any of the topia. I was promised high quality prosthetics, neon blinkenlights, and the right to bear arms. We've got like 15% of the appropriate level of any of those.

The Mouse isn't dead, he is risen anew. Freed from the shackles of his creators, he is now more powerful than he could ever have hoped to be before. The mighty tremble beneath the footsteps of old Steamboat Willie. He is a living sign of a new era, one in which it is possible to strike back against his old captors.
