Sounds like she's in denial. Does she also change the subject when losing an argument?
Anyways, I think you have better chances addressing her denialism than to argue any other political point. As long as someone won't argue in good faith, all other arguements and debates become pointless diversions.
At this point I’ve told her that if the worst should happen with Republicans getting their way and she loses her benefits I don’t plan to help her at all. She’ll be at the mercy of her own decisions. (Something her and my dad have said to my siblings and I a lot growing up.)
I'm curious, what did she say to that?
Can I join in on that hug?
I'm one of them. Thank you.
I do agree though that his titles and thumbnails are annoyingly clickbaity. Perhaps it would be better to just title the post as "Reporting from Ukraine: 11 Feb"?
I fondly remember playing Elite Force when I was young. I still remember the opening Borg level which simultaneously impressed and scared me, haha. Also those aliens that looked like manta rays were a funny and cheesy concept.
Come to think of it, I should play Elite Force 2.
Neither side. It's messed up.
How sad. I wish him the best of luck with it and hope he pulls through.
I've been using Fairphone 3 with /e/os manually installed for about two years. Here's my experience:
Stability wise there's been two issues. Once after a big version upgrade, the GPS stopped working. It turned out the mozilla location service was somehow disabled. Switching it back on fixed that.
The other issue is that I've noticed lately it's opted to not play my ringtone for sms and calls. I'm not sure if that's a bug or some odd default behavior in Android 12.
Also I should mention how the Google Play apps in the App Lounge can be a bit random in when they are available to be installed. I'm not sure if that's a stability/bug issue or just Google Play being uncooperative. Overall, I'd say stability has been pretty good. I don't remember last time I had a crash. There's been maybe 1 or 2 crashes in total.
As for the cloud based apps and IOS styled launcher. I'm not a fan either, but just using alternative apps and switching to Neo Launcher has been great.
Overall I've been really happy with the phone. It's offered almost exactly the balance I want between out-of-the-box android compatibility/ease-of-use vs degoogled privacy & customizibility.
I'm guessing we're about a decade away from this getting miniaturized down to insect sizes.
I hope more Republican voters hold your stance.
Thank you. It boggles my mind how people seem so oblivious to this problematic phrasing and how unnecessarily divisive it is. I wish these words could be plastered across the internet.
