Disclaimer, this isn't true for everyone, but as somebody raised southern baptist, I think this image is missing the point.

The biggest risk for Christian parents having their kid go to a drag show is they might end up questioning Christianity, and rejecting it.

They're not wrong about that risk, just about the morality of it. They want to have their kid indoctrinated, but only into the things that believe. They see anything that takes their child away from Christianity as evil.

Honest mistake

My local grocery store self checkout after every single item:

Unexpected item in bagging area.

If they're going to treat me like I'm stealing the groceries I'm paying for, making the process slow and inefficient, then I'm just going to go to the regular checkout and not deal with it.

people are stupid for falling for this again.

It's a better, more usable platform than mastodon for the average user today, it makes sense people will move to it instead - it's human behavior.

I wish more than people treated these platforms as disposable like they are. Just dump their ass like a shitty ex if they start abusing the platform. Remind folks that Yahoo, Myspace and Digg seemed unreplaceable at one point, and now they are irrelevant.

buying a brand new android every year

We've had wildly different experiences with these companies, for what it's worth.

I bought an iPhone X back when they were new, and had to get it replaced twice within the first 6 months because of hardware failures.

Conversely, I kept my Pixel 3 (from 2019) until last year.

This is a pretty common calculation for people who track protien intake in the US, since most people weigh themselves in pounds, and most nutritional information is provided in grams.
