If you’re looking for a color e-reader the unfortunate truth is that they are just not there yet. The best on available is not really that much better than the Libra color since most are using the same technology as it.
There are a few RLCD devices that are available but from my understanding they aren’t very well reviewed and basically habe to be outside to be used without a backlight.

Wait the fucking hazard diamond is wrong Lmao.
- Comment on I probably interact with people who are at the pinnacle of their chosen skill but I'd never know because that skill isn't something that generates fame. 5 days ago:
I just feel like it’s worth mentioning that there are probably hundreds of others who did the same amount if planning and failed. There is only so much that an individual can do to determine their own fate.
- Comment on All you have to do is bump into hitler's biological parents before he was conceived, and you've erased his existence. No "assassination plot" is necessary. 6 days ago:
Its not. Its a time loop and probably proves determanism but its not a paradox.

I have some depressing news for you about southern education.
(for clarification I know some schools are good but most are not. My middle school state history teacher said that slaves in my state had it good; because we were unique in having laws about how hard you can beat slaves. Which is untrue and also they were not enforced for obvious reasons.)

God I would genuinely kill you be able to do this. I don’t think I will ever be fully comfortable in my body and I doubt this would fix it but atleast I could just keep things changing.

If you could find a source for that it would be comforting lmao.

Or no sexual attraction if you’re ace. I feel like people forget that ace people can be super into romance and the other parts of a romantic relationship.
- Comment on Wikipedia sources their information better than most journalists do in their articles. 3 weeks ago:
The more you research a specific topic the worse Wikipedia seems as a source. For a general overview before writing a paper and starting real research? It’s great.
For actually researching and compuiling that paper? Terrible. The Wikipedia editors are people too and they cant know everything.
I love Wikipedia and have donated and will donate again but looking back on it there’s a reason that most schools don’t let you source it as Wikipedia and make you look at the actual sources that Wikipedia uses.

Usually it works every once and a while they have an update that breaks shit but they usually fix it pretty quickly.
- Comment on Things are about to finally change! 4 weeks ago:
No in this comparison the firefighters let the arsonist start the fire and have talked a whole lot about how they are going to save my wife and children, but haven’t actually moved inside the house except for one firefighter, who the others admonished for being to radical.

They think judges going against the Trump admin and then doing nothing to enforce it is an “L” for Trump some how.
- Comment on Things are about to finally change! 5 weeks ago:
They fumbled against fucking Trump. TWICE. I’m not going to campaign for slightly less bad than Trump because if that’s what they run again I’m done.

Music piracy is just so much harder than streaming.

This made me audibly sigh. They won’t put it like this but this genuinely the future some people want.
- Comment on The US government is coming for Google and Meta – but what will happen next? 5 weeks ago:
The trick is that they have to already want to do it. Or you have to have a position lined up for them if they go out of politics.

- Comment on Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims 1 month ago:
I assume the best intentions of people that haven’t repeatedly proven that they do not have the best of intentions. Telsa has repeatedly shown that they are willing to break the law to accomplish something they want and this isn’t a huge step farther although considered.
Sufficiently advanced ingorance is indistinguishable from malice.
- Comment on Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims 1 month ago:
Nah fuck hanlons razor. Evil people can be stupid but they are still evil. If the incompetence reaches this point it is also malice.

- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 month ago:
Looked it up and I had no idea how bad second hand vapor can be. I don’t vape or smoke but I’ll give them both the same level of stink eye going forward.
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 month ago:
I have asthma and when I walk past a smoker it makes it harder for me to breathe for a while afterwards. I don’t have the same issue with vapes though so I don’t really care about those even inside of they smell nice.
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 month ago:
It would be nice to have the equivalent of a super like that’s not tied to anything. Maybe a once a day thing. Could be easily misused by people like me with a shot load of alts though so maybe it doesn’t federate?

The only one I’ve seen that has roughly equal distrobution is breeding and that’s like biologically wired into most people.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 month ago:
That’s crazy to me. I constantly am talking to myself. Like a full on dialog with different “perspectives” and all that jazz.

Does your inner monologue not say what you are typing in your head as you type?
