  We now all live in a recursive loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did y'all ever felt curious about your parent's past? If your relationship with parents isn't close, how does one get their parent's story without making the interaction awkward?⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No need to apologize at all! I like to use my story to help others realize they can flee a toxic relationship anytime they want and shouldn’t feel beholden to anyone including those who “brought you into this world”. God I hate that line so much, especially when it’s followed by “…and I can take you out of it too.”

  I hope you find what you’re looking for. Best of luck, friend.

  My father is a bi-polar narcissist and my mother is a bizarre kind of broken because of it. I fled home at 16 yo and looked back a few times, though I wish I didn’t. The few time I had a chance to ask questions about their past, the stories always changed.

  It all broke down during the pandemic when they went full blown rightwing conspiracy theorists and science deniers trying to guilt me into letting them near my (then) newborn. At one point one of their “FBI friends” told them COVID was a hoax. We don’t have FBI friends.

  With all that said… fuck em. My curiosity of the past doesn’t exceed how much it distresses me to be around them. My chosen family and I are looking towards the future. I know it hurts and I sometimes wake up in tears thinking about them. I wish you the best, friend. It gets better.

  Oh darn, I guess you’re going to have to start over :) . Changing class (even subclass) makes the game very replayable and as you’ve noticed, it’s easy to miss things on your first play-through.

  I’ve never heard a single analyst, reporter, or YouTube video say they thought there was a chance of this mega project working. Using words like “ambitious”, “impossible”, “inconceivable”, etc are never a good sign but the Saudi response was like “Fuck em, SEND IT”

  Back when the history channel had history documentaries. There was a week long block of WWII shows when I was 12(ish), like shark week but Hitler.

  My great grand kids will know exactly how lame I was.

  I mean, I didn’t watch this video because I lost interest when the channel started getting really dark around 2020. I just needed a laugh during the pandemic. I didn’t need 4 videos in a row about the end of the world, then a few about the end of the universe, followed by a future civil war. It was too much.

  …and when it’s time to run? Tool use didn’t stop a 400lbs gorilla from ripping you limb from limb. Dicks out for Harambe. I’m still not over it.

  Non-standard as in there’s no standard in cables. Some support fast charging some don’t. Some support hdmi, some don’t support data at all. They won’t catch fire to anything. If the bricks are under powered because they were meant for a kids toy it won’t catch fire, it just won’t charge as fast.

  If a manufacturer suddenly decides to support 500W charging, none of us will have the gear to support that and companies like Anker or UGREEN will be more than willing to price gouge the cables and bricks we would need. It’s already happening at 65W.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With so many non-standard cables and chargers, it’s crazy to me that this is what manufacturers want their customer experience to be. My mom had no idea she was trickle charging for over a year until I visited. Neither the brick or the cable was capable of fast charging. She said it took all night to charge, like that’s a normal thing. She’s not into electronic tech and I’d imagine she’s not the only one in the world.
