I miss a slide out landscape keyboard - but even Swype I feel like has gotten worse with time. I just can’t shake the feeling when I use it that I spend half my time or more deleting and trying again to get the words I want.

Smartphones. I used to have a Droid 4 with the slide out landscape keyboard, and that was peak mobile computing. I don’t care if Swype is better than it used to be, it’s no replacement for physical buttons - whenever I type anything more than a couple words long on my phone I spend like half the time deleting and retrying when it guesses the wrong word. Never had that problem typing with my thumbs.

Also, physical buttons make emulation doable on a phone in a way that on screen buttons and keyboards do not. Back when I had a physical keyboard I played games on my phone all the goddamn time - now I basically only use it as a web browser, because any other use case is painful in comparison.

I’m glad some qwerty phones are making a comeback, but they’re all in the portrait orientation which has always felt way too cramped to me. A Droid 4 with a modern screen/battery/processor would be my dream device.

if she says “no” it’s r*pe

things that shouldn’t need to be said, but…

They may have been technically right about the Republic’s corruption but they were clearly rebelling for their right not to pay taxes and to have fewer regulations, rather than for any kind of greater freedom that would have benefited the masses. Just look at their leadership - the banking clan, trade federation, corporate alliance, commerce guild…

As we all know, getting more militantly progressive because you see the repeated failures of the liberal worldview is exactly the same as getting more conservative because you own more property 🤡

True. I didn’t become a commie until I was almost thirty, young me was so idealistic.

The kulaks and the monarchists and the nazi collaboraters deserved it. Communists have been vindicated by history every single time.

But not before spending an hour debating the ethics of doing so, as is tradition.

Religion is primarily a social phenomenon, so as long as people want to belong to a larger group then there will always be people willing to believe whatever non-falsifiable truths they need to in order to belong to one.

They use everything that’s not used to make other chicken products, it’s gross but also very efficient.

It’s not even a joke, as far as I can tell they’re referring to the only nonwhite character who looks like a racist caricature but it’s actually such an outdated caricature that it didn’t register for me at first.

If even one person is dumb and rich enough to buy it, then it’s worth it to make the website to try to sell it to them. And we live in a world with many such people.

You would benefit from reading an alphabet book.

lmao okay bud maybe try reading something at some point

Russia is the one engaged in ethnic cleansing.

You don’t know what started the conflict, do you? You think Russia invaded just for gits and shiggles.

If Ukraine wanted a deal that was in their favor, they would have implemented the Minsk agreements that they signed, and most of the war would have been averted and they would have been able to keep Donbas. But for Azov it was always about ethnic cleansing Eastern Ukraine, so even that was a nonstarter.

Depends on the game, in my experience tanks set the pace for everyone and always have to give the most otherwise nothing gets done.

plot twist?: you become a girl but literally nothing about you physically changes
