Ah see, the problem is you were looking in /sdcard0/ which of course, refers to your internal storage and not your SD card which is probably called /0xgg0gdjdsjgg/ or something.

What "LGB without the T" means

Whether or not you meant it this way, your argument has been used to downplay important social issues for over 100 years, probably a lot longer.
I've heard "Why spend so much effort on X when people are dying out there?"
Where X is womens' voting rights, Black rights, sexual freedoms, political freedoms, and religious freedoms just off the top of my head in the US alone.
If you did mean it with good intentions and not as a debate tactic, know that we can work on two things at once. To use the US as an example again, most of those things I addressed were indeed improved and it's not like other things just fell by the wayside. We vastly improved food safety, workplace safety, hunger, infrastructure, etc. at the same time.

You don't realize how nice it is when you don't have a headache, until you have a headache.
That's the human condition. All suffering and joy is relative to our baseline, and that baseline changes very quickly.

“I can’t believe you won’t let me near your children” Says transgender piano teacher.
For every one trans performer who has done something weird on stage, I can list five cis performers who actually had sex with children.
Keep those damn cis people away from my kids.

If I understand it right, the Jewish God came from a pantheon, and didn't just respect other pantheons. Like it was equivalent to a group of people who worshipped the Roman gods and then said "Yeahhh, but we're going to pick Vulcan as our main guy."

Some of them are great and can even make things less awkward for the other person. The "small error" one for example. The "I have an appointment" one is necessary when talking with higher ups in big companies who completely devalue your needs. But some are assholish, yeah.

Anyone else feel like ~99% of their life was kind of wasted?
For a long time our goal was simply to survive and maybe have sex a few times. Now we're suddenly under pressure to "accomplish" things but not that many people are really wired for it. There's a reason some of the best creatives are weirdos and assholes.

joining the fediverse to bitch about reddit is the same as going on a date, and spending the whole night talking about your ex

Plus, bitching about common experiences is awesome. I have two past co-workers that I stay in contact with and most of what we talk about is how much we hated the job.

They don't like the short top, her hair, or the tattoos.
American conservative christians are generally anti-tattoo. They like things like long modest dresses, suits, clean short haircuts for men, etc. Very bland and conforming.

Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
As a "homepage" for news and content, yeah.
Sadly my hobby and porn subreddits I still meed reddit for though.

So tired of Adobe. They're part of the problem.

I think Apple was more to blame for that.

Yeah but you lose a ton of image resolution. The google preview isn't even close to full size in most cases.

So, Neuralink got FDA approval for human trials, and a certain fanbase is VERY excited about that

You have to drill or cut into the skull for plenty of medical procedures. I don't think getting a dime sized piece of skull removed at the crown of your head means your head explodes when you hit it on something.
As for the charging thing, there are plenty of solutions. Wear some kind of headband for one.

The sad truth for all of us

Really that stat would have to be something like total karma divided by your number of posts, or number of views by logged in users on your posts. As a total number it's meaningless. It's like someone being a millionaire if humans were immortal. Are they really good at business, or have just been alive a long time?

I really doubt volunteering fills the same need. They want to feel like they're contributing something back to the family that is taking care of them. They want (and deserve) a paycheck for their work.
And the problem is companies don't want them compared to a neurotypical employee for the same wages.

Bandwidth isn't a concern if you get an unmetered line, and 10TB storage is only about $250. I would imagine they make decent money from tech, and find the service very convenient personally.

AI Voice impressions are also getting very good, very quickly. I can convert a song to an AI celebrity cover in a few minutes on consumer grade hardware with a model trained on 15 minutes of audio. We will almost certainly reach a point within my lifetime, probably within 20 years, where you literally can't tell the difference between an AI actor and a real one.

Don't think that list is totally accurate. Listening to Norwegian Wood as I type this.

The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

You might be seeing fees I'm not, but some cell service are actually mandatory in the US. Usually a few dollars a month, they go to various state and federal agencies.
