Nope. Micro USB-C.
- Comment on Employees at Amazon headquarters were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery 6 days ago:
So they are taking a page from YouTube where they out price the market until they are the market, and then will drastically raise prices because there’s no longer any competition?
- Comment on Why do you think I USE search operators? 1 week ago:
All of the search engines I’ve used do this and it is infuriating. If my search returns little or no results, then so be it. Don’t populate my results with bullshit you thought I meant; you’ll almost always get it wrong. I didn’t mind the “did you mean”; it was a suggestion, and a choice that I could decide if I wanted or not. Now they just cram results down my throat, whether I want them or not.
I miss the early 2000s Internet.

Same and I’m from the southeast us.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
No they don’t conflict; they’re symbiotic.
The “American dream” was dreamed up by rich capitalists to encourage poorer people to work harder, longer hours, and to do so with as little humbling as possible. Couple it with the “rite of passage” mentality - i.e. working super shitty conditions because everyone else had to do the same - then it’s the perfect indoctrination needed to convince people that their hardships are their own failures and not the system’s.
Another, simpler, way to look at it is that the “American Dream” is a carrot on a very long stick that is dangled in front of us to encourage us to move forward with their capitalist agenda while making us think we’re getting a reward for our labor.
- Comment on Why do people especially men care if someone forgives a cheating partner 2 weeks ago:
If it were me, I could not rise above and forgive. But that’s me, and how I feel has zero bearing on you and your boyfriend’s relationship. I also wish you both the very best and a long and happy relationship. 💙
- Comment on "Someday" is either much sooner than you think, or never 2 weeks ago:
It’s always never.

Other way around.
- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 3 weeks ago:
Flirting is a means of communicating that a person likes another person. If no one flirted, then meeting people would be even more difficult than it already is.

Beer is made from water. So drink more “water”. 😉
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 3 weeks ago:
I have a dentist office near me that also offers Botox. There’s also a boulevard that has a billboard advertising it. My area is not exactly considered the most affluent of areas.

Body Dysmorphia is real, and will trick a person into seeing themselves very differently than everyone else. American Dad did an episode on this once.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 3 weeks ago:
Sometimes the best response is no response at all. Silence can be deafening.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 3 weeks ago:
You are allowed, and sometimes encouraged, to not say anything.

- Comment on Israel once again openly declaring genocidal intentions against civilians from the very start. 4 weeks ago:
General rule of thumb: if you have to resort to emotional name calling, you’re in the wrong; even if your initial argument is factually correct, the moment you let your emotions take over is the moment you’ve lost your argument.
And no, I am in no way saying this person’s argument is factually correct; especially since his argument is based on hypocrisy.
- Comment on Spaniards packing water guns blame impact of mass tourism for housing crunch 4 weeks ago:
Yes, let’s blame and attack the tourists, and not hold the government and local economy responsible for bringing in the tourists.
What is with everyone feeling entitled to be assholes to everyone these days? (Rhetorical)
- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 4 weeks ago:
A lot of technology has been repurposed for other uses than what they were mutually designed. What’s to stop the operators from using such a high def satellite to spy on people?

- Comment on YSK: Bluetooth Controller Lag in Retroarch Can Be Fixed With Game Mode on TV and a Few Settings in Retroarch 4 weeks ago:
If it were 25-30 years ago, when there was a risk of physically damaging (i.e. blowing up) hardware, and I’d agree with you. But in this case, the worst is manage is to have to reconfigure things back to their defaults.
As for retroarch, what would be your suggested alternative?

I’ll be the first to admit I have no idea how any of what I posted works, but I do know it works. Maybe the tv game mode didn’t do anything for my Bluetooth, and maybe the other settings I changed did. All I do know is my gaming experience is so much more responsive now. And if any of this helps other people, then all the more better. 🤷♂️

It has been amazing. I’ve been playing Faxanadu all day, and before I found out the game mode on my TV, it was hit or miss if I could make the jumps. Now I feel like id never have gotten so far in the game because of the tricky jumps. And all with an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller (sn30).
