We thrive in groups of around 150 people? That seems like a lot to me

Highly recommend the Motorola Moto G7 Power (Ocean). Get it OEM unlocked. Runs LineageOS and /e/OS.

Battery life lasts for days with minimal usage, and costs just about or is $100.

What’s the album?

Took a nap after work. I asked myself, what do I need more right now? And making that choice for myself made me feel happy.

Hey, this is me! Currently using a OnePlus 5 with LineageOS and a Sunbeam phone. If I need to connect to the Internet or use any phone app, I just use my hotspot.

On my list of “dont’s”, inspired by Luke Smith, I do not use AI.

Fairphone is expensive. You can get a used Motorola G7 Power and flash /e/ on it, if you like. Just need to find one is OEM unlocked, or know how to unlock it yourself.

I don’t use any “big brother” services. At work, it’s a different story, I guess.

I wish that the internet was removed from every day reality. Or at least I wish it wasn’t so invasive and obligatory.

Honestly, this makes me happy to hear. I wish I could meet people and make friends like I used to before everything got enshittified.

Jealous. I will be stuck here for the foreseeable future.

I use /e/OS instead of Lineage now. It comes with MicroG and everything just works. I have a personal profile and a work profile. I keep them separate. No issues at all.

LinkedIn was doing this to me, too. But then I randomly was able to log on again. I wasn’t able to for months and thought it was ridiculous that they were asking for my ID.

You can try logging in on an IP address you previously logged in on. Then, delete your account ofc.

Pool drains. Hate them. Whenever I go swimming, I always avoid them.

I’m listening to an audio book called The Like Switch. I recommend it. It’s about building and maintaining relationships.

Absolutely. I was teaching English with Mormons in Kiev, UA in 2014 (as a volunteer, I am not Mormon). The nonprofit we were with stressed to us that we should absolutely, under no circumstance, go to Maidan (city center). This was when the revolution was just starting. Of course I went anyway.

At least when I was in Ukraine at that time, all the discord was contained within Maidan and the eastern regions. Life elsewhere went on as usual. I’m not sure if it is the same now. But it felt like going between two worlds.

Mechanical Engineering. Germany. Because it would be my dream to work as a roller coaster engineer, haha.

They can.

When it comes from people changing from being dickheads, I think it can take some people rock bottom, or being confronted by a chad who they perceive as worthy of respect to change to change them.

My mom is/was a racist Trumper, until my chad uncle confronted her and told her she was being a dick. He told her that he wouldn’t continue to talk to her if she didn’t change.

She did take heed and ended up not voting for Trump in 2024.

Most people who are like my mom won’t listen to somebody like me. She sees me as not worth listening to because I’m not a man.

And this is why I think only a recovered narcissist male who has seen this happen in real time (and who is also a chad) will probably be successful as an opponent against Trump.

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Kill Bill Volume 2! And I like the Carol (2015) soundtrack (totally not a lesbian).

I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)
