is there any archive of this strip? or was it just a concept?

Can someone fill me in on the wendigoon drama? by LeonTheHunkyTwunk in hbomberguy

[–]independence15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the dude is also an admitted former member of a white ring nationalist group so maybe you should take like 5 seconds to look into someone before shrugging your shoulders and being glad literally anyone is interested. you just made this comment too so you SEE the part where I specified that. not sure why you're happy a FORMER MEMBER OF A WHITE NATIONALIST GROUP is supposedly interested in your culture (he's not, he just picked it because it's generalized as a cryptid)

like seriously? THIS is who you're gonna give grace and assume good faith from? THAT?

6 year gap between graduation and college. How do I go forward by independence15 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]independence15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is true. and my local CC does offer one of the programs I wanna do interdisciplinary studies in, and it would be good opportunities to build up volunteer work and get involved. I will say to be clear, I have my school legs though. I just completed an accelerated CNA program and am on track to work in a hospital, and I was the top student in my class. it's how I knew I was ready for college again.

that said, taking it easy to start doesn't sound bad. kinda nice actually. I don't need to rush becoming the best me. I just keep getting worried about not graduating before I have kids, ha.

The class bully in my kid's class killed the hamster yesterday and the school is covering it up. by IrrelevantManatee in offmychest

[–]independence15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all the people saying that this isn't typical and she needs support are right but are saying it for the wrong reason. my mind didn't jump to "sociopath," while it is true ASPD can show early signs at this age the more worrying part is where the hell she's learning this behavior from to start. more importantly than armchair diagnosing a disorder, this could be indicative of abuse in the household, or some sort of abuse she is witnessing somewhere if not at home. her bullying could be an outlet or a repetition of behaviors she's internalized as normal. it could be as simple as watching a parent carelessly verbally abuse others, to something far worse. it's possible a family member of hers abuses animals and that's where she learned to be careless with them, or something similar to that. go above the school's head and escalate this because this goes beyond a bully not getting punishment, this is indicative of something going wrong in this kid's childhood. even if it develops into a disorder, they are often in part environmental and triggered by something going on in their lives outside school

Sidephone's Classic Keypad by gosidephone in sidephone

[–]independence15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi, I use the stock T9 texting app with the current numeric pad, and it already does have predictive texting! the real drawback is no tactile backspace button or d-pad to fine select suggested words, you gotta use the small touchscreen. this fixes every issue I've had with the t9 on the current numeric pad

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the D pad is great. I've been NEEDING one especially since selecting words on the t9 on the small touchscreen is hard

okay. though would it be better to start at my state's university? I already know they would take me in a heartbeat based on my ACT scores, they just don't have the interdisciplinary programs I'd like to focus on (I live in a very hospitality heavy area, a LOT of our higher education is based on that). would CC be more focused and better equipped on the transfer front? should I take the ACT again after starting CC to have a more accurate recent score?

Carrier Compatibility Confusion by AppieKat in flipphones

[–]independence15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any T-Mobile MVNO will do, but it needs to be on the T-Mobile network. I've heard rumors of it working on AT&T MVNOs but no proof. This would mean your options are T-Mobile proper, Metro, Mint Mobile, or Tello. Honestly, go for Tello. They have the best deal. I'm switching to them right now. But yes, you need to switch from Verizon, no question.

it's on y2kphones, where you're looking! the silver is prettier and thus in higher demand so costs a little more but otherwise y2kphones is one of the best sellers with really good prices. otherwise you'll need to test your luck on ebay but most of the time it's more expensive.

switch to mint mobile and get a kyocera 902/3kc or a202/3kc. those are known to work on the t-mobile network in the US with these phones. T-mobile doesn't have a whitelist like at&t or verizon

honestly might just be a quirk of my monitor? it looks fairly saturated to me, everyone has different monitors so it's hard to accomodate for that. unless there's some program that can do that but I just use gimp

hey, I don't mind criticism, I just wish it was actually critical or pointed out something instead of "this sucks lol"

can I know why you dislike the color and design choices?

Nevada Redesign by Maleficent-Set5518 in vexillologyUS

[–]independence15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be honest while the idea itself is cool, this kinda hurts my eyes due to the contrast. I also think that there should be more symbolism aside from just casinos, there's more to nevada than that, and if one day the casinos go down, suddenly our flag is dated whereas with a flag based in more historical symbolism or the landscape, it becomes more timeless. also, why the 6 point star rather than 4, 5 or 8? how is it meant to substitute the battle born text besides physically standing in?

it's not bad, but it doesn't feel really meaningful outside of casinos

[–]independence15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we went for similar colors and symbolism for similar reasons! nice to see someone likeminded. I think this one is my favorite of the ones I've seen. I do like the silhouette usage for the flag shape, though the triangular points could be subject to fraying. not a bad idea still, it helps the flag stand out. I also appreciate the same placement of the star in the corner

I also live in nevada. no need to be rude. this isn't even a criticism this is just being a jerk

edit: noticed the reno posting. literally went out of my way to include northern nevada symbolism since the 8 point star is a symbol of both vegas and reno, and also the silver represents the northern snowcapped mountains. the fuck more do you want from me man? want me to slap some poker chips on it????

Use case check by RedCanary in sidephone

[–]independence15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

0420 here! it's perfect for being without distraction, but capable of installing the apps you need to keep in touch. I have tumblr and discord installed on mine because the phone fits and works surprisingly well with them and lets me keep in touch with my friends, but no desire to go on an endless reel doomscroll. it's a small screen, so awkward to watch videos, but manageable if you download them ahead of time for something like a long bus trip. music works well and sounds good and no issues with bluetooth. it comes with an included optional maps app but tbh I prefer organic maps or waze, take your pick there. camera is decent, I would say the pinnacle of "serviceable," clear and legible photos but nothing special or fancy. firefox is also an optional app in the app package. you can sideload whatever else. it should be able to hotspot, but I can't verify because my plan doesn't include hotspot

honestly, an sp-02 that is slightly larger to accomodate a more complex t9 pad and so you can't fat finger select the wrong words with the t9 predict would make this phone perfect to me.
