Being good to your customers shouldn’t be some wild concept.

Not anymore, of course. But nothing beats that brain rot apart from sites that hijack your controls.

Same way you survive live TV. You learn to mentally block out ads.

Why did you have to remind me of this. 😢

What’s real heinous and not mentioned in the blurb is that the father wanted to be involved with raising his son but she cut off contact a year after the birth and still forced him to pay child support. What a bitch.

Always cool seeing Yoruba stuff in media. Just watched the new season of the Castlevania spin off and it features a few different pantheons; Aztec, Yoruba, Voodoo, Egyptian. Ogun was badass and loved him telling his story.

I don’t usually buy the “but it’s ok if the company is American!!!” accusations because no corporation should be abusing your privacy, but I was just sitting here wondering why they think it is suddenly not ok if a foreign company is the one harvesting data.

I remember it being pretty big news when it was revealed, with government agencies making the app forbidden for their employees.

Memories awoken.

I don’t use it often but lately it stopped being able to turn off my flashlight for no reason. Can only turn on. I wonder if it’s just to get people to use Gemini. It’s a shame because I found the normal assistant capable enough for my needs.

I would definitely say so. Personally, I’d just not have one. Let them face the consequences of lack of sleep so they know how important it is. I think it’s weird that sleep schedules are never emphasized to teenagers. Probably a lot less sleep deprived teens if they were encouraged to get all the fun done before night hits and then easing into sleepy time.

But not having a set time could also backfire and they end up like I did with only sleeping like 4 hours but getting naps in whenever possible at school. Always surprises me how good the human body is at adapting.

I don’t get the people shitting on this. It’s a very fair plan. Something I’ve been wishing existed for the past month, even. Like the article states, it’s for people who use YT to watch TV (me).

I just hope there’s a yearly plan to get a little bit more of a discount. Student plan is the same price but no yearly plan, so it comes to ~$90 per year.

I’d be pissed if the oldest I reached was 30. 100? Nah I’d be dandy.

Wow that’s awful.

Isn’t asthma medication pretty cheap and long lasting? From what little I know an inhaler can last many months. Also if they can’t afford that, surely they have state medical insurance to help with it? Just seems so scammy.

It’s cool you guys allow it. I find banning self-promotion is such a stupid rule for a games community. It’s cool seeing people make games, too!

I thought all dogs were smarter than people thought because my first one (Yorkie) was practically a little kid in how he could understand me. I could tell him to go somewhere and he’d do it. He let me know if he needed to pee outside or if he was hungry. Always surprised me how much a dog could understand!

Then I got a new one recently (Goldendoodle) and this little guy is a complete dumbass.

I suspect it may come down to experience though. Yorkie was already about 4 when we got him and only took about a year for me and him to really understand each other. The Doodle we got when he was only a little over a month old and we’ve had him close to a year but it has been a pain to train. Could also just be down to personality, because he has done some pretty intelligent things that surprised us.

I think it’s more you as a person understand that the sentence is that, a sentence. You understand how the sentence is made, why it means what it means, not just what it means.

The dog only understands the what.

Doesn’t mean you still can’t help teach dogs to communicate. Even saw a segment recently on PBS about dogs learning to use buttons that produce words and using them to make short sentences to communicate with their owners.

Endless Sky is on mobile now?!

Unfortunately 99% do suck ass these days. Rewind a decade and the Play Store used to have so many great games, even the free ones.

If you need decent mobile games:

Space RPG series

Space Courser (not sure if it still exists)

Space Traders: Frontiers

Mindustry (free and open source!!!)

BTD5 & 6 (personally I use the Netflix editions)

Terraria

Stardew Valley

Deadcells

Wizard of Legend

Villagers and Heroes (old school, small MMO cross platform with PC)

Albion Online (same as above but bigger and newer)

World of Goo

Hyperspace Delivery Service

Elder Scrolls Legends (I think it shutdown?)

Polytopia

Minecraft

Gladiabots

Pokemon Showdown (technically a web app)

A whole assortment of console emulators!

Just fools and their money being parted.
