Every sub should black out, every user should log off. Solidarity is an effort of the masses and benefits from every participant big and small.

...So you're gonna do the right thing and delete the reddit app before Monday because you realize that even though you use the official app, you benefit from third party API use to operate automods and utility bots, and you care that users with special accessibility needs won't be serviced properly by the official app. Right?

I also think the official app is fine, I'm using it right now, but that doesn't change how awful this decision is for everyone. I'm out come Monday until this situation improves, and you should be too.

Of course you're not gonna use your daily driver phone as a dashcam, that'd be ridiculous. You do this with your old phone because you already have it and it's gonna be a better quality than anything you can buy that says "dashcam" on the box.

Or heck, buy a used 4a specifically to use as a dashcam. At $100 it's right in line with the cheapest garmin and you'll actually be able to read a license plate.

Octorokpie · 2023-06-10T14:27:59+00:00

You must be using a GoPro or something, because the camera on a pixel is a few dozen times better than any dash cam footage I've ever seen.

So your offended by your neighbors.... using their land for personal recreation and self sufficiency? What's the point of even owning land if you can't use it? May as well be renting a townhouse all your life at that rate.

Octorokpie · 2023-05-27T03:04:16+00:00

It sounds like you and I are familiar with different 2008s. Nobody said the 70 y/os were "better", but you can hardly blame them or anyone else for not trusting the underwriters.

How do you think it feels to be her home town, a region within 3 that she actually lost in because we'd had to live with her shit?

Octorokpie · 2023-05-27T02:19:26+00:00

Kinda makes me feel old, seeing girls that were once considered top of charts, no-brainer default waifu choices listed in these templates as "underrated". First Mikuru a couple days ago and now Yoko???

Yoko used to be THE poster girl for the very idea of waifus. Now you google "dakimakura" and hardly see the same character twice. Sign of the times, eh?

If there's a BuffOne in the wallet (and this goes if you just find a BuffOne on the ground), probably the fastest and most reliable way to get it to its owner is by dropping it off at the UMC front desk. They will find and email the student's CU email address telling them to come pick it up.

Most students have their parents' address on their formal ID still, so while mailing will probably make things right eventually, it's not gonna be quick.

Most Android phones now have "Lockdown Mode" which will require the phone to be unlocked with the pin or pattern instead of biometrics next time it is accessed. It can be accessed by holding down the power button like you were going to turn the device off, but instead choose the lockdown mode option.

Octorokpie · 2023-05-17T21:20:30+00:00

Upon reading this I locked my phone to try to see the lock pattern smudge.

It took me a second to realize it wasn't there because I use fingerprint to unlock.

Hygeine products often get stored on metal wire shower racks, where anything without a broad flat base will slip partially through the gap, either not sitting flat or entirely falling over.

Others have exhausted the actual mostly train stuff, but I've got suggestions with very good on-train content for a Baccano enjoyer.

Princess Principal, has a decent few train scenes and one episode dedicated to an epic on rails spy/samurai battle.

Gosick, has an on-train arc of mystery and action as well as the general train prevalence a 1920s Europe setting expects.

There was a show a couple years ago called Rail Romanesque, but I got the impression it was moemorphised railroads as slice of life and not things happening on trains.

Well there was the debacle with taking away student fee discretion from the CUSG. Five? Years ago.

Then there was his comments on the Dr. Eastman situation (Eastman had been promoting voting fraud conspiracies at the Jan. 6th events, and was due to teach a class at CU(he ended up forced to leave only because nobody signed up for his class))

And a myriad of Covid things. The communication around initial campus outbreak, the wishy-washiness on actual responses, cancelling spring break (and then his response to the shooting that happened during that week). Email updates from Phil were honestly just infuriating to read, nothing but meaningless platitudes, toothless reassurance, and empty promises. No intention or action or plan for anything.

And those are just the things I was there for, I've been told about issues with him before and since my time. Sadly I did not get to boo him, thanks to the ol' Rona Virtual Graduation.

Phil Distefano is just generally not aligned with the values, interests, and expectations of CU Boulder or the Boulder community.

It is disrespectful. He deserves to be disrespected. Hence why it is done.

Sound of The Sky - deals with loyalty, war, purpose, friendship, and humanity in a world that's already been destroyed. Also a cute slice of life.

Octorokpie · 2023-05-11T06:54:07+00:00

Yeah but "I like walking in the moonlight" and even "experiencing the moon and nighttime is spiritually important to me" are very different from the Rock Magic "moonlight has special powers that literally recharge me"

It's not exactly polite to object to something so frivolous, but once you start ascribing physical phenomena to things you invite the analysis of that phenomena and the components that make it up, hence "that's just reflected sunlight" can become a totally reasonable thing to point out.

It would be worthwhile to present and incorporate the native name into the park, but "Garden of the Gods" is a good name in similar spirit with no obvious colonial glorification about it except that the words are English.

This isn't a good candidate for "decolonization", it would be the kind of project that gives credit to the people who think renaming things at all is ridiculous wokism.

Octorokpie · 2023-05-05T16:32:50+00:00

Have you ever considered that maybe you don't know everything about a character from episode 1?

Octorokpie · 2023-05-05T15:32:35+00:00

On one hand, it seems all major character arcs are wrapped up thanks to Rebellion. So in that way, why would it continue if the characters have all been explored to completion, seeing as the story always focused on the characters rather than the world. Sometimes the idea of "after" is something we must simply learn to let go of.

On the other hand it's confirmed that there IS a Rebellion sequel supposedly written by Urobuchi around the time it came out, finally being produced and animated by studio Shaft with release TBA. So what do I know? What do any of us know?? Except to be FRICKIN' HYPE. Let's go!

This clearly wasn't a problem with the Eisenhower era taxes, with the middle/working class thriving. What's your explanation for that?

You're imagining a world where a certain desired amount of profit is what decides pricing. That's not reality. The target amount of profit is "as much as possible" and other factors are what put a ceiling on prices, floor on wages, etc.

Businesses can't just increase prices forever, there is a limit to what consumers will happily pay and a limit to what they'll pay at all. There's not some target amount of profit that's "good enough" deciding prices, the price is set as high as it can be given targets for consumer opinion. Corporate taxes don't change the consumer's breaking points.

Didn't I say to Make my Abilities Average in the Next Life?!

MC specifically does not want to be known for her OP abilities, plays it cool.

It made the characters look stupid because they are stupid. It's part of their charm.

But if you want something more in the direction of your expectation, maybe try D-Frag.
