You mean the dad who had me rewire the telephone lines in our house when I was 14 because he couldn’t figure out four wires? That one?

Let it die.

Almost everything, but not quite.

Every Republican.

That’s the sin.

Corporations can’t suffer. It doesn’t matter whether you “steal” from them or not.

If you struggle with pronouns, apologize casually when the pronouns come up.

As a fellow old, the kids don’t seem to necessarily get it that my brain is wired pretty hard not to change pronouns, but they do seem to appreciate the effort and the discussion that it’s a challenge rather than just fucking it up with no explanation.

Otherwise, be mindful that they take a lot of shit for parts of themselves that are background attributes for the rest of us. They can get pretty tired of it. A friendly person who regards them as just people may be the best thing they can get from anyone.

40 here. Pretty much what I was thinking.

The way you behave in public is visible by the public, kids. No matter how you feel about it. If you don’t want it read, don’t post it.

I mean, okay.

If I already said something publicly, I expect it to be read publicly.

The block tool is because I’m tired of dealing with their bullshit, not because I’m afraid of them reading what I’ve posted.

Still nice to know though, I guess.

Yeah, talk to your union about this.

Because it doesn’t fit in my pocket.

Oh so you did absolutely nothing to earn it. Cool. Go fuck yourself.

Yes.

Now leave.

What offense?

I mean aside from the glass eye, he seems relatively healthy.

Same reason they post their kids all over Facebook.

What’s your favorite meal to prepare for a special occasion?

I think the main reason I don’t use the outer screen more is just that if I’m on my phone I’m generally stationary and can open it up without sacrificing convenience. It’s like, 75% open, 25% use the outer screen in general. I also have a Pixel watch for like, at-a-glance notifications.

Completely agree that there is ZERO point to the outer screen if you can’t use any app you choose. Here is my outer home screen:

(Yes, I own a Tesla. No, I’m not a Nazi. I bought it in April 2024 used and owe more than I’d get on a trade. Yes I know there are incentives right now. No they won’t make a difference. No, you don’t know my finances. No, I’m not going to discuss it any more.)

And yes, Pokemon Go works on the outer screen… Kind of. It’s hard to hit the buttons. Throwing balls though, just fine. The more I think about it, being on foot or on a bike is the perfect situation for pretty much all of what the outer screen can do.

The main screen, though - fantastic. I love the Moto UI for Android. I like a small text size and lots of icons.

Mine is the 2024 base version. The plus or ultra or what the fuck ever just has a slightly bigger outer screen and… Idfk what else but I haven’t felt the need for more. Quite happy.

I replaced 2 Pixels in a row which both died in less than a year with this. Better battery life, thermals, and UI than the Pixel. Camera is acceptable, but Pixel is the king there. I have a Pixel 6a which is a burner/camera when I want real photography. Quite happy.

I’ve got one. Moto Razr.

It fits in my pocket much better than a slab phone.

I don’t use the outer screen much. Generally when I need to fumble around and change media or unlock my car or something with stuff in my other hand. But Moto’s implementation of the second screen is pretty good.

I like a very large screen and I like portability. If this phone breaks, I’ll probably get either another one like it or a larger one like a Pixel Fold or something.

The solution to the fragile inner screen is - and I know this is a complex idea so bear with me - you close the phone when you’re not actively using it. Seriously, it’s a complete non-issue.

My biggest complaint is the Moto software. I’ve had other Moto phones before and had similar issues - they’re WAY too aggressive with battery optimizations killing background apps. Like holy shit. I have to go in every few days and reset settings that the phone changed on its own so that my VPN stays connected for more than 10 minutes at a time because it wants to kill the app to save battery. But that has nothing to do with the screen.

I think it’s a bullshit rule, myself.

But it is a clearly-stated rule.

The real question is how many accounts you want to throw at it, because if you ask me, in for a penny in for a pound.

And it is morally correct to harass elon.
