Exactly, in my neck of the woods it seems like the majority of people under 60 have tattoos

I think op was saying it’s interesting that it redirects rather than just an error

I think you greatly overestimate the number of truly uncontacted tribes

You’re welcome! =)

I get what you’re trying to say, but that’s already what the word inhospitable means. It doesn’t mean it makes life impossible or near impossible, it just means it makes conditions harsh for life.

inhospitable (adjective)

1. (of an environment) harsh and difficult to live in

OP didn’t ask what you seem to think they asked

No, that’s not how it works, the cops have nothing to do with it. You tell your defense attorney that you were watching youtube, your attorney tells the judge you need those records from google, the judge’s court sends a warrant to google inc., then google sends those records to the court.

The police have nothing to do with it. They aren’t used to obtain records, that’s done through the legal system like court orders

1. Stop dismissing that men have problems which require addressing

A lot of people say things like “men have it the best, they don’t need help!” That’s nonsense. Everyone who is dealing with problems and is suffering needs help. Helping men doesn’t mean you stop helping women, we should help everyone who needs help.

2. Stop purity tests and infighting

Progressives today are truly awful when it comes to this. I’m not talking about including nazis, I’m talking about attacking people who agree with you on 90% of topics. Like if someone thinks trans people should be totally treated as the gender they express in every facet of society, except they shouldn’t be allowed to compete in women’s physical sports competitions.

3. Messaging needs HUGE improvement

This is another one that progressives have a terrible problem with. They do a terrible job of letting people know how they’re being helped, and they also use language that gives the impression that they’re against you. For example “the patriarchy” is a terrible term that makes men feel attacked, even though that’s not what it’s about at all. What most people actually mean to refer to is “gender norms”, meaning concepts like ‘men should fuck a lot of women and not express their emotions’. “Gender norms” is a much more accurate term and it doesn’t make men feel like they’re being attacked.

It’s almost a certainly that all current life on earth has the same common ancestors. It makes sense for a ton of reasons.

For example all living organism have dna, and they all use the same 4 nucleic acids that their dna is made from. Neither of those facts are necessary requirements for life to exist, so since 100% of life does both of those things then that’s very strong evidence that 100% of life had a common ancestor.

Yep, literally every single living thing has a common ancestor.

Monkey? Yep.

Tree? Yep.

Octopus? Yep?

Mushroom? Yep?

Bacteria? Yep.

Oy, dude, no. You couldn’t prove my point any more clearly

Ridiculously pretentious comment, and at least half of it isn’t even meaningfully true.

🙄

It makes total sense to me. A phone case is just a cheap piece of plastic that’s made using cheap mold-manufacturing, and cases last for the entire life of the phone, sometimes even living on through a couple of phone lifetimes.

But screen protectors have to be more rigorously designed, - making sure that the material works well between finger and each particular touchscreen, and it’s made using relatively much more expensive manufacturing processes like curved glass cutting, and people have to replace them every once in awhile because the purpose of a screen protector is to take all the damage that otherwise would’ve happened to your screen.

That doesn’t match my experience with phone hardware. Everyone i know has a bunch of old phones that’ve been handed down to kids and even more sitting in junk drawers, because they all still work. Yes a couple of them have cracked screens, but even with those the only reason why the screen wasn’t repaired is because people wanted or already had a newer phone.

Software is a totally different matter though. The OS and apps stop getting updates at some point even though the hardware is still totally capable of doing what most people want their phone to do. And even worse, many companies don’t allow a phone to revert to an older OS version, so the company pushes out an update that slows the phone down and then there’s no way to fix that.

The HARDWARE isn’t designed to fail, because the SOFTWARE is designed to let the company force the device to fail at whatever exact moment the company later decides on.

Hang on a second, you’re saying that music is mainly about how things SOUND!!! That’s a brand new revelation!!! 🤣

Of course plenty of American schools offer Chinese language courses. It’s odd that you assumed with total confidence that the opposite was true.

I’d say it has to be things you believe to be true. If a wacko is scrolling for hours on nonsense about how the covid vaccine inserts a mind control chip into your brain and how the leftists are going to come to your small town and force your kids to be trans - then that’s still doom scrolling.

I bet that’s a slightly unfair representation of what it actually looked like. Graphics back then were purposely designed for how they would look on CRT tvs which add a lot of specific distortions to images. So taking a screenshot of a game running in an emulator without using a high quality crt filter added to the image will be a very untrue representation of what the game actually looked like.

(Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it actually looked great when displayed correctly, but i am saying it would’ve looked considerably better than this emulator screenshot)
