What's not a sign someone's an asshole, but is often misinterpreted as one?

Not being a conversational person.

I don't do small talk very well and I very quickly run put of things to say to someone I don't know so I don't like to just talk rubbish with someone, I prefer to remain quiet and get on with what I am doing.

I don't mean that the person isn't worth talking to or I don't like them, if they need something from me or have a question then I'll galdly answer or help them, but almost everyone takes it as a slight against them when i dont want to engage in idle chit chat and assume I'm an arsehole when I'm really not trying to be.

Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter

I couldn't agree more. I have a Zfold 2 that I've had since launch (3 years) and I look at the phones on offer now that I have an upgrade available and I see no reason to upgrade to a new phone for a marginally better camera and processor, there hasn't been enough innovation in mobile tech in that time to warrant paying another £1000+ over another 3 years, I'll rock this phone phone until it dies the same way I did my Note 9.

[Serious] My high schooler worked at a fast food joint. Recently he encountered one of his underage coworkers under the influence of meth, which she said was given by management. What to do?

It's a tough choice between ruining your kids social and school life for a few years or letting the lives of many kids be thrown down the toilet because of a meth addiction.

I know that you want to protect you and yours but, morally, you have to do something to make this stop. As others have said, go to the police, the school/s and the local news and make as big of a stink over this as you can, those managers need to go to jail and those kids need to be rescued from life destroying consequences of the actions of adults that should fucking well know better.

Have a talk with your kid and see what they think should be done and put a plan in place for them to be supported in the aftermath and even consider moving home if that is at all a viable option for you.

I think what they're asking is how do you protect your token?

You have to have some way of storing and presenting that token so what would stop somebody from stealing or replicating the method of presenting said token? The way it is done now with cryptocurrency is far, far from ideal and can easily lead to permanent loss of access.

I see why you're saying that but I love my fold and I don't think I could go back to a regular phone anymore, you quickly get used to the screen real estate and its difficult to give it up imo. While the outside screen is too thin on my fold for my fat fingers you get the best of both worlds of a phone and a more portable tablet, I get it if its not your thing but I find it very handy to have that extra work space on my phone.

I'm seeing a lot of downvotes 😒

I'm not a part of this community and I haven't been down voting your shit but this post gives of some real r/downvotesreally vibes and its not a good look.

Some people will just down vote because they didn't think it was funny, didn't get it or stumbled upon it in All and don't like stoners or a myriad of other reasons. Like you said, there is no karma here so why do you give a shit? Post because you enjoy it and fuck everyone that doesn't.

Windows Activation

Reply in thread

Yes, windows functions exactly as it would should you have used a legit key and will tie in to any MS account you have logged in to permanently activate it forever (no need to keep activating), it even allows you to upgrade your Windows edition from home to pro if you wanted to. I have been doing this for literally a decade or more and have had zero repercussions from doing so.
