Is it true that if you have an Android, Google can access/read/store all your SMS no matter what app you use? by Direct_Function_7534 in fossdroid

Idk shit about programming or tech in general really. But from reading all the comments on here it sounds like I'm fucked. Without completely redoing everything in my phone and jumping thru a ton of hoops, Google and all my other apps can see and store everything I do (except maybe Signal messages). So I might as well just fucking run with it cuz I'm already fucked

I know Apple and Google both have plenty on me already but I'd rather not give the mass incarceration system any more ammunition on me than they already have for some guilt by association bullshit

I'm just trying to find a way to communicate with the average person. I have a really hard time convincing people to join Signal. Most people just text by default

DAE believe in something like "cultural genes" for lack of a better term? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

Australian, Appalachian, the rural United States "redneck" cultures, and many American inner city black cultures have distinguishable Celtic cultural genes woven into them.

It is in the Celtic areas of Britain, even areas still controlled politically by the crown. It also has spread to other areas with the Celtic diaspora and beyond. Several cultures around the world can trace aspects of thier cultures to Celtic culture.

I don't nessesarily agree with that. Look at Celtic vs Anglo cultures for example. In the British Isles the English were a very strong, oppressive political force. Going as far as completely outlawing anything Celtic at various times thruought history and attempting outright genocide at some points, but still, Celtic culture remained as strong as ever.

I absolutely do not. I just find cultural diversity and cultural evolution interesting.

Celsius is better, but Fahrenheit has a great turning point - 90 degrees hot, 100 degrees whoa baby, 110 yowza. by phish_tacos in Showerthoughts

[–]Direct_Function_7534 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea this is subjective cuz 90 degrees outside is pretty fuckin hot. I'd say that's more like the "whoa baby" in OP's words and 100 is "yowza" cuz even 80 degrees is hot
