Yeah. Not a huge fan of the goog especially lately for obvious reasons but at least you're somewhat limiting the number of western companies spying on you to the one, and they do offer good hardware for the price... Might go that way again too if I can't be convinced the potential issues are worth it idk
At least they aren't apple

Thinking of going to Xiaomi as my ancient Pixel phone is starting to crap out. Seen some horror stories about updates not working or messing up devices on though, anyone have good long-term use experiences with them? Would rather not mess with custom roms because I need to use mobile banking apps that tend not to play nice with them.

Slugs are neat there are many active slugs in my area this time of year and they are cool to look at. I saw one carefully navigate its eye around a blade of grass the other day without touching it. Crazy sophisticated behavior for something that doesn't technically (Edit: according to some stuff I've read but see below) have a brain.
Edit: I went and did some googling and I'm seeing papers speaking of slugs' brains so I guess this definition has changed and improved.
Edit 2: It's possible the usage is inconsistent as there are (some) papers going back a long way describing the cerebral, pleural, and pedal ganglia of the slug as a brain.
GIS is very cool and sometimes helpful for getting job type things congrats!

Haha my former upstairs neighbors liked to do that while having sex at 4am but they also liked to play music during sex
The music was really loud, but didn't cover the other sounds
Really loud
The music was The Beatles

I don't want another cringe post
I don't need another type of guy, no
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby get banned, oh, no, goodbye
But you got me like Musk's rocket
Blowing up across the sky
It's the way you shitpost
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual piss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, impossible
This piss, this piss (unstoppable)
This piss, this piss

Live in Germany but originally come from the Failed States of America. I normally shower twice daily, unless I'm staying in the apartment all day and not going anywhere then I can do once. Do not have a bath tub, probably wouldn't use it much if at all if I had one

The irrefutable fact that all the Oceangate soda can explorers all had iPhones just occurred to me last night. iPhones and the Oceangate submersible are basically the same product
Also critical support to the EU for ruining their dumb proprietary plug party that shit was hilarious. Hope they do every single other overpriced, proprietary, and deliberately unfixable piece of garbage component Apple makes next
I was talking about how awful Apple was with a friend the other day and started screaming about how much I fucking hate Apple (I guess there are iPhone owners who refuse to date Android owners? I guess they enjoy signaling that they are rich enough to not know anything about technology and have spent their lives treated like babies like the imperial Chinese nobles did with giant fingernails showing they never work? Man I hate apple) and my wife was like they are giving me an apple for my next work computer and I was like
I call it Rotten Apple Joe in the tradition of the classic film Yatta

Idk if I'm a great example of anything but having done this on some level at least a couple times (two bachelor's degrees in three majors, master's, and ongoing PhD that I started in mid 30s), on one hand it's doable and go for it, on the other hand no one is going to pay you to do the most creative things you really want to do and your ambitions for that might end up flattened in any case. But also my humanities background was towards the beginning not the end and the rest has been at least partly (not completely) a fruitless struggle to not be poor (still poor but the scientific things I study do interest me on a good day, or so I like to tell myself).
If what you're doing now leaves the time and energy to do the thing you want on the side, maybe that is a good idea.
If not, or if the thing you want is the knowledge and/or degree itself, uh go for it but also don't be surprised when no matter how much you do everything "right" according to whatever framing you like, you still can't win? Ah that sounds terrible. Go for it! Yes

Perfect for continuing the den brigaderino. But also maybe if we tie enough balloons to it we can freak out the air force and make it piss away all its AA missiles
For anti-genital mutilation posting in the megathread earlier I remain very much not sorry. But also! I wish to extend shanah tovah to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, the September 11th of peaceful universal non-existence. Jewish identity can be a bit of a fuck, especially when it's ambiguous (half on the wrong side but still an important part of who you are) and you are living in a country (the Deutsch land) where there was a genocide and can be a bit difficult to talk about a complicated relationship with Judaism to most people. I don't expect them to be antisemitic or racist. Just having a lot of weird uncomfortable feelings. Telling people they shouldn't feel awkward, none of their ancestors killed mine, and the only people here who might have ancestors who did came here recently from what is now hero nation Ukraine seems not to help much for some reason. But also a real Jewish bakery opened near me and that's neat and now I've got round challah and honey cake. Took off early from my usual PhD nightmare times and now making some nice traditional food and about to drink too much wine pointedly sourced from a post-apartheid country while my body is threatening to come down with a cold. The boss of the universe certainly will not punish me for this

My wife says all I do is "chat with someone who probably calls themselves 'Comrade Shitmonster' about how Joe Biden is a pedo" How do I convince her that 1) Comrade Shitmonster is entirely correct 2) this is all important praxis 3) Joe Biden is a pedo
This convinced me to finally delete my bird corpse account. They say this shit is optional and even "premium" for now but I for one don't want to be doxxed by a whoopsie automatic opt-in to scrape data off my device. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-66679922.amp

Am general secretary of the only legitimately elected government of New England, brought into power by a vote of 1 to 0, after counting all votes available to this political apparatus at the time. Since foundation, 30% more legitimate than the Guaidó administration. This government has a long and storied history since its formation, then a member of the Fraternal Order of Saint Bernard (cancelled). The first Republic fell in an apocalyptic nuclear posting battle against the verminous legions of Peter Paul Montgomery Mayonnaise, after the latter nefariously employed the dishonorable weapon of crying to the mods of the universe of the dead bird. Since that time a second Republic was established in the dead bird universe, and over time became increasingly not kidding regarding its kidding not kidding communist political economy. Then a terrible mod of chaos and destruction arose in the old universe, and the old universe began to die. It became necessary to establish a third People's Republic of New England in the universe of the extinct megafauna that cannot die because they are already extinct. It was under the administration of the Third People's Republic of New England that our scientists first breached the veil of reality into this existence, and found within the universe of the suicidal mammal this remarkable planet of the based. After some very positive forays beyond the extinct megafauna universe our researchers found the agonized screams of torn and broken reality annoying and decided to establish a (certainly not colonial) scientific research station in this universe to mitigate the need for nightmare style communication from beyond the veil of this reality.
