To avoid censorship filters in social media, same with PDF files.

Every earbud I had broke at least once during their warranty period. My linkbuds S recently broke the third time. Only one of my issues was battery related, but its still nice to have the option to use them after the warranty ends.

I really hate when native English speakers use could of or would of. It makes no sense and sounds completely wrong, yet some people claim it’s just a minor mistake.

My GPU had a shitty blower cooler, switching to water-cooling made my system so much more quiet!

Are those cameras in the retail space? There are cameras at public spaces, whether it’s Walmart, the DMV or the foyer of a police station. They aren’t there to surveille employees, they are there to prevent or record crimes.

People here are advocating to have cameras in office spaces, to specifically surveil employees. What the fuck is going to happen for people in home office? That’s illegal af, at least where I come from. And who is going to monitor these cameras? The local sheriff’s office? And who is going to review all that footage?

So do you think employees being recorded by their employers is ok as well? Because it isn’t. Having to live in constant surveillance is a mark of authoritarianism.

The idea behind it is that people make up “reasons” (conspiracy strategies) that fit the event. A big event needs a big reason, they can’t just accept that some things happen due to accidents or just by chance.

That’s why Covid can’t have been natural, it must have escaped from a lab! The government is giving us free vaccines? It can’t be that they just want to get us back to work, there must be a secret plot behind that!

Society has to pay any healthcare stuff that’s caused by smoking. An earlier death and the resulting savings for the retirement fund is not enough to outweigh that.

I’ve heard “My dad is a lawyer” works for some people, but YMMV

So you bought then back in June 1933 and didn’t have the heart to throw them out?

I alegedly YouTube music and premium is super cheap if you VPN from Argentina or türkey. At least that’s what I heard (alegedly)

German here. Nobody ever uses SMS, literally nobody. They are only used for 2fa.

Let’s be honest here. The amount of people this applies to is miniscule.
