  I’ve heard that you can watch that movie in a loop starting at any point and it doesn’t make any more or less sense than starting at the beginning.

  I don’t have a webcam. And I didn’t have a functioning microphone for several years until recently.

  I mean, it’s not usual to find more modern books at a thrift store. Yeah a lot of them are old, but newer ones are there.

  Even among the old ones there are some that are sought after, like Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book. Best snickerdoodles of my life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thinking of visiting a pawn shop. What should I know?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Most pawn shops deal primarily with guns, tools, and jewelry. You’ll also find all kinds of electronics and collectibles, some places may have furniture too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  RCS wasn’t originally supposed to run on data, it only does now because carriers didn’t want to support it natively.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd : Timeline of Temperature Changes on Earth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad you’re optimistic but warming has a roughly 50 year delayed effect and we’re already seeing changes. Even if by some magic we halted all emissions, and I mean ALL, we’d still be warming into the 2070s.

  The only way to make the 1.5c target would be a massive investment in carbon capture and huge reduction in carbon emissions.

  I just don’t see it happening. I don’t see the world even trying until it’s too late.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Samsung and Google are just now getting around to supporting it

  Hey now, I’ve been rocking RCS for three years. The only reason it took so long to begin with is because Google was trying to get service providers to implement it themselves. Google finally said fuck it and started doing it themselves iMessage style and then providers started playing along.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Results of the "Can you tell which images are AI generated?" survey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are newer AI tools that can do text accurately. Usually it’s with text provided in the prompt though, so it’s arguably not AI generated, just AI placed.

  The unreadable AI text you’re familiar with is done without the AI really knowing what text is, and they’re just making something that looks vaguely like it. It’s the same way they normally handle any kind of object or shape. Newer tools are built specifically for text, so it actually is readable and makes sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s important for people to learn how to manage/customize notifications whether it be on the OS level or through each app individually.

  I keep a lot of things as silent notifications, so they pop up but don’t grab my attention. They’ll be there when I look at my phone. I think texts/calls are the only thing that makes noise on my phone at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boycott In-N-Out.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The bag full of fries seems to vary by location. I stopped at a Five Guys in Vancouver last week on a road trip and they loaded it up nicely. The one closest to me skimps a little bit but I’ve had far worse at different locations.
