I learned to moisten the eye of the needle instead of the thread. It makes threading a needle way easier. Also, making sure the thread is cleanly cut at the end and not fraying.

Thank you for mentioning that. I am able to see it by clicking through to the post in the Europe community.

Even after refreshing, I still can’t see your additions. 🙁

You don’t have to be insane to not be happy about this. I believe in ‘harm reduction’, which is to say: If joe biden were still president, i would probably not be upset if some medical condition removed him from the presidency, because then he could no longer actively do harm from his position of power.

But now? He has almost no active power or influence over anything. His suffering doesn’t benefit me or reverse any previous harms he’s caused.

Yeah Google claims it’s not recording, storing or being sent the conversations or sharing them with anyone, and that this is all done ‘on-device’.

The thing is, I don’t trust them. At all.

Maybe the terms and conditions will silently change. Maybe their definitions of “recording” and “save” will change. Maybe they’re blatantly lying and are willing to pay a fine if they get caught.

Google’s whole business model is harvesting and selling people’s data, so I have to assume the worst intentions.

A gram of prevention is worth 1.6 decagrams of cure.

Exactly. And unless RCS with e2ee is made equally available to companies other than Google and is implemented by the carriers, RCS will continue to be a monopolistic data-harvesting grift.

I’m surprised there is not more outrage directed at Google over this.

I get it.

I can’t use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.

I am guessing you don’t want an old Steam Controller? You might want the new one Valve is making, but unfortunately I don’t think details or a release date have been announced yet.

No, please explain it to me!

That’s quite misogynistic.

Ruin her body?

That’s incredibly misogynistic.

STOP USING DISCORD

And there are no better camera hardware else where

Sony and their Xperia phones would like a word.

I had trouble with it too. The site told me to disable all the privacy settings on my browser, at which point I simply decided that the whole thing was no longer worth my time and data.

I really wanted to play this before I knew it was predatory and manipulative gotcha garbage.

Yep. She’s talking about changing optics and messaging to something that resonates with the larger ‘I know very little about politics but I still vote’ group of voters.

The headline feels like clickbait.

The question is, will voters learn from this? Will they understand that when the president and his crew are straight up Nazis – and congressional republicans do nothing to stop them because they support a Nazi agenda – that the whole Republican party is now a Nazi party?

There won’t be any “reasonable” Republicans to vote for going forword; they are all Nazis now.

We never could have seen this coming!

I have been straight up poisoned several times by improperly maintained soda fountains. I avoid them now.
