And what makes it more frustrating with T-Mobile is they don't allow their customers to go online and swap a phone themselves. You HAVE to go in or call. My brother got a Pixel 7, and we couldn't swap his 5 out for the 7 online.

I looked everywhere on that shitty website, the closest thing they had was an option "upgrade my phone" that just took you to their online store. Fuck TMobile, I hate them so much.

What is your favorite video game from the 90s?

My favorite games as a child growing up in the 90s:

Zelda OoT

Super Mario 64

Pokemon Red

Zelda OoA/OoS


Though after later playing Final Fantasy 7 in 2003 that quickly captivated me and became really special to me. It was my first Final Fantasy I ever played and one of my most cherished games to this day.

Also, while I never played the original 90s game, I absolutely adored Black Mesa and the Half Life franchise. It was damn impressive what Valve accomplished with the original Half Life back then.

Yeahhhhhhhh if everyone bought vehicles based on CEOs/owners of companies, Volkswagen would uh, be rather dead at this point. Or have a very dedicated niche.

And Ford, as well. Henry Ford was not exactly a paragon of virtue.

He's the creepy little shit from My Hero Academia. A character so horny that no "horny jail" would be able to contain him. He was always trying to molest or sexually abuse every female character he came across.

Like at one point, the main character rescued a very young girl (Eri) from a criminal organization that was emotionally and physically (non-sexual) abusing her. The live-in school that the characters go to accepted Eri so that they could give her a better living environment and take care of her.

The literal first words Mineta said to her were "Hi, my name's Mineta, and I can't wait to see what you look like when you grow up."

My Pixel 6 did this randomly a month or so ago. It's definitely the screen when it does this. I took a screenshot and the colors were fine when the display started working properly again. So far mine has only done it the one time.

Sousou no Frieren - Episodes 1-4 discussion

They've done this so much justice so far. As a manga reader I'm very happy with this adaptation. All of the characters sound exactly how I'd imagined them.

Evan Call is also continuing to prove why he's amongst my favorite composers, his music is complimenting this show incredibly well. I swear everything he makes is magical.

I used to do car electronics installs for a living. The amount of firearms I'd find was staggering.

Many times where we needed to get to/behind the glovebox, or remove the center console (which usually requires pulling every item being stored in it before removal), and we'd just find the handgun sitting right there. Had one where the client dropped off their vehicle and the gun was laying right on the floorboard.

Not firearm related, but I had a little old lady come in one time, wanted to get a radio done. Went to remove her center console so we could install an aftermarket USB in the factory USB location (adapter didn't work with carplay too well) and I found a rusted ice pick in the center console. She was definitely ready to make someone's day worse.

1% rule: 1% of users actively create new content, while the other 99% only lurk.

I'm primarily a lurker. Back on Reddit I'd create posts here and there, but I'd mostly contribute to discussion fairly often. I only had around like 28k karma from comments over the course of 11 years, so I wasn't super prolific by any means.

I miss how big the community was on Reddit at times. I'm still trying to figure Lemmy out. Trying to figure out how to make the instances work on the app can be frustrating, but I really hope to see Lemmy grow into a proper competitor and become more polished and robust. I like it so far, it shows promise.
