It’s an homage (or whatever you would call it) to The Crying Game iirc.

Got rid of a bad relationship and got some pogs. Sounds pretty adequate to me.

But where would it send the GPS data if not over Bluetooth?

All the screen area of a phone with all the durability issues of a foldable.

Tried without a space. Works on my client, but my client isn’t actively developed anymore.

Yes, in the sense that they have fat stores. The example that comes to mind is pretty disturbing, so here’s your chance not to read it: >!I read a thing about cockroach cognition a while ago but can’t find it again, but it was about how the scientists studying them imposed human personality traits to them but got a harsh reminder that the behavior patterns weren’t necessarily signs of intelligence or personality when accidentally crushing ones abdomen and seeing it try to eat its own exposed fat.!<

Yeah, like the priest already did it, just in a different font.

Haven’t read any of those for a while, but I guess they wouldn’t be worse in vim.

I sat next to somebody watching Son of the Mask on an airplane. It wasn’t good, but the lack of sound definitely improved things.

This guy says otherwise

Can’t one just peel them off?

Agreed. I have some that just turn the volume down and I keep them on my keychain. It also helps me a lot when there’s background noise to pick out conversation. After the first part of the pandemic, it seemed like everybody had been yelling on their zoom calls and it helped with that as well until either they adjusted back to IRL volume or I readjusted to it.

What? Can you try typing that again in all caps? I went to a text concert last night.

Foam earplugs if you’re headed to a noisy area. I know too many people that have damaged their hearing by not protecting it at concerts and other venues with amplified sounds.

Totsugeki!

My experiences are usually either secondhand or from assholes who assume I’m safe to be racist around.

My Korean partner and I were traveling and met a business associate of hers who happened to live in the area. The associate brought her fiance. The fiance managed to complain about immigrants 3 times within the first ten minutes. I felt like I couldn’t make a scene because it might impact my partner’s work life so I just did my best to make it obvious that was not a welcome topic and then freeze him out of the conversation. He didn’t pick up on it, either because he is an idiot or an asshole, probably both. This was in rural Colorado.

My partner has also gotten pulled over several times driving through Texas for being the wrong color. Instead of being able to remain in her vehicle, she was told she had to sit in the back of the police vehicle while they ran her plates or whatever excuse they had.

And there’s always the “Where are you from? No, I mean where are you from?” questions.

The fetishizing of Asians also gets pretty gross, but I’d rather leave that one to the imagination.

She is adopted and has a white family that are Trump supporters. She gets used by them to say they couldn’t possibly be racist, like that guy who has a black friend. Meanwhile, they call an apartment complex that has a lot of minorities living in it “the zoo.” They also claim to be colorblind, which really made them dismissive to the issues my partner faced growing up in a predominately white town as well as more recent problems like the wave of anti Asian sentiment during around covid. Any disagreement with the family is an attack on them, so there’s no hope there.

Her name is also very white sounding. People can get surprised if they’ve spoken to her via phone or online and then get introduced to her in real life.

Racism can be subtle. Thankfully my partner’s found good, supportive spaces as well.

Adoption in general is a complicated issue. My family adopted a boy from South America after I had left the nest. That always gave me “white man’s burden” vibes.

Yep, one of my first times messing around I got my hands down a girl’s pants and was very confused for the first few inches, but got there eventually.

But not up in. Just up.

There’s several levels you can use to trade off additional space for requiring more processing power. That being said, I hate xz and it still feels slow AF every time I use it.
