Until I got a phone without one, I used it all the time. But now I have fully switched to Bluetooth. The price pot me off a lot, but my tozo A3s are are both cheap enough and good enough that I am happy to have made the switch.

yeah, it was one of those movies that I think was ruined by the advertising. All the adverts at the time tried to make it seems like a star wars rip off, when it wasn’t anything like star wars really.

Going out and actually meeting people, I generally like them. You find most of the time they’re also just trying to get through their lives and managing the best they can. There is a lot more love than hate out there, if you just but look.

Dealing with people in politics or other identity based topics. I would say strong dislike. You find people will hear what they want to hear and try and make your opinions fit in a pre labelled box. Strong beliefs also cause folks to turn a blind eye to evils in their own group. I just wish people were devoted to making these groups worthy of their unyielding support. The world may be a far, far better place.

I try to apply that last paragraph to myself as much as I can. My only exception is sports. I feel that is a safe space to let my inner tribalism have some freedom. But outside of that, I try to be most critical of my institutions and ideologies. In hopes I don’t become the person I hate.

Sorry, I went on a bit of a ramble there.

If the internet has taught me anything, it is that the cat thinks the knight is shit at killing dragons.

Makes me think of the season 5 community D&D episode: https://youtu.be/9byMfi3Qav4?si=x0n1PhPowJZWZxcA&t=157

Here is an unrelated image of a normal human sitting in a chair. As you can tell the sunglasses do nothing, it is still clearly a human.

I’m not Jewish, but I had to stop putting on a pin I often wear because it somewhat resembles the star of david. Took it off after being told I was Jewish scum and threatened while out for a walk in town.
I agree that there is a massive effort to categorise any criticism of Israel as antisemitic. And that it is an idea that should be challenged. But that doesn’t mean antisemitism isn’t also actually on the rise.

It’s just a meme that is used when someone stereotypes a group of people (not intending to offend), but the stereotype is is accurate.

basically “how dare you stereotype us, but also yes”.

I do wonder how much is the breed and how much is shitty owners being attracted to perceived scary breeds. My guess would be a bit of both.

Too soon! ;-;
