You’ve hit the nail on the head there.

I had a Flip3 as a way of trying to kick my QWERTY habit, and it was cool as fuck. It’s a great conversation starter (if you like starting conversations!), it’s a lovely form factor to carry in it’s folded state, and no matter what anyone says, it’s satisfying as fuck to end a particularly heated call by slamming the phone shut.

Other than that though… it’s just a decent phone. No better or worse than anything else aside from the irritating bloatware.

The hinge was weak as fuck and two of my devices suffered screen bleed from the hinge, but then that was nearly five generations of Flip ago.

Yeah there is an element of that, but I don’t think it’s entirely controversial to say that it all gets old very quickly.

Critical thinking takes work and research, which is fine for a specific topic or when you’re reading something with existing context like something historic… but keeping on top of something where all the belligerents are pushing out narrative on a daily basis becomes fucking soul-destroying to fact-check and evaluate.

I don’t think this is a “both sides” fallacy. It’s just being super fed up of the constant shitslinging and media manipulation.

Was that Big Red One?

An Xbox spin off of one of the first two games?

Out of sheer interest, is it because the data was discredited or is there an ethics issue that kills a paper once it’s been cited?

That second line sounds like a comedic Bond villain line.

And it’s awesome.

Odd, this article is dated April 26?

Who’d have thought me being a tosser and replying to the wrong comment would spark such a theological debate!

It sounds like Guile’s special move for when someone’s royally pissed him off.

I mean, it’s an interesting viewpoint, but I’m not sure I’m entirely on board.

The professions listed are indeed ones where to tell lies could be a direct causal factor in causing harm, so I’m with you with that.

Outwith those safety critical environs though, I’m not sure I like the idea of free speech being curtailed by that degree. As much as I hate it. It’s a big leap from where we are now to “lock them up because they’re lying”. I quite like freedom to drop such wild mistruths such as “no mate the sky is green” or " your relative died peacefully" or “Arsenal are a good football team”.

Cool discussion point though.

Fancy new Wet Ass Filter

I fell for a girl in a big way. She was super cute, super nice (mostly), and super easy to imagine a life with.

We went to a graduation-style ball together, she met a guy I knew really well who’s a genuinely nice chap - and they hit it off from the moment they set eyes on each other.

They’re still together and I’m thrilled for them, two really decent spuds ending up together and happy is the dream for everyone - I’m really chuffed they nailed it.

All fourteen seconds of it, anyway.

Ten of those seconds are apologising, too.

That damned abominable snowman is going to get a nasty surprise at two thousand metres…

I’m just chuckling at the thought of a USB-to-CCS converter.

whatcha gonna do

on you?

Get on. Love it. I’m pretty sure the quality and efficacy of cracks and warez were directly proportional to how hard the mad chiptunez hit.

It wasn’t a real crack unless your eardrums had been blown out by an impromptu 16-bit EDM sesh.

I’ve been out of the loop for a long long time, but are they still absolute bangers of MIDI tracks?

Wasn’t that in the Mythical Man Month itself?

Really?

My seed ratio is going to be OVER 9000!!!11
