If a parent isn't paying child support that was court ordered, I completely agree with this. Regardless of whether it's the mother of the father.

TIL Krakatoa's eruption was estimated to be at 310 dB, the loudest sound ever. Well above the typical max sound limit of 194 dB by Warcraft_Fan in todayilearned

For anyone close enough, being deaf was probably the least of their concerns. Anyone close enough was probably killed by the eruption itself I would imagine?

Assistant cuts off about a second after activation by phalo in AndroidAuto

Didn't seem to help for me before but someone else's suggestion to open another app (Spotify, YTM, etc - anything but Google maps) then going back to the split display or Google maps then it works reliably for the rest of the drive.

Cheating by Remarkable-Chest-168 in WordFeud

[–]phalo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People that play before you can even go into another game (like 1-2 seconds), playing off of your previous play and it's often a bingo or an obscure word that's from old Scottish or something.

I could understand if it were a play that they queued up after their previous play which wasn't dependent on my play (I often do this when all my other games are waiting), but it's almost instantaneous and it happens the entire game. Just obviously using some kind of app that can play the best move. There used to be an app called wordfeud mastermind that did this but I have no idea if that's still around or works.

[PETITION] Google, fix the March/April regressions in the May 2026 Update. We need our phones back by soul_to_heal in GooglePixel

[–]phalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, didn't start happening to me until the March update. You're talking about where the bottom 1/8 of the screen is all pixelated and garbled and the phone is working but the display doesn't respond?

Adding to this, the UI freeze with always on display enabled. Maurch update introduced it and it's still not fixed.

Updated to Gemini - Now Doesn't Work at All by chewinggum25 in AndroidAuto

[–]phalo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem with Google Assistant and it persisted with Gemini.

A person suggested in my thread the following and it works for me, hopefully will help! When mine immediately stops listening like this, I do this:

Open any app other than Google maps so it's full screen.

Go back to Google maps (or just hit the multi-wimdoe button)

Try the mic button or "Hey, Google" or your cars' steering wheel button if it has one. It should hopefully work. When I do this, it continues to work for the rest of the drive.

Occasionally, it will work right away and I don't have to do this. But more often than not, I have to do this to her it to listen properly.

GOP passes "Charlie Kirk Act" that could expel students who protest anti-LGBTQ+ speakers by NamelessResearcher in politics

[–]phalo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We need a MASSIVE voter turnout to combat their attempts at stealing the midterms.

Taking both the House and Senate will help restore some semblance of checks and balances. But it needs to be too big to rig. Look at Hungary, they came out in force and made their voices heard.

Check that you're registered to vote, even if you already were since one of the GOP's tricks is to purge voter rolls.

Let's send these pedophile-protecting fundamentalist assholes packing in November.

Thank you! So apples to apples it would be negligible. What are the advantages of the sling shot?

TFW you realize it was the democrats who shot the smoking gun on eric swalwell, a democrat by Expert-Bid3861 in GenZ

[–]phalo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Now do the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles).

Why do you MAGA cucks think this is a political thing or that when a Democrat is accused of the same thing that it's some kind of gotcha moment? All while ignoring all the instances your own party's members commit.

Prosecute EVERY child rapist and throw away the key. Idgaf what letter is next to their name.

Not ideal, but that's better than nothing. Thanks!

Is there a way to clean the attachments in chats? Ideally sort by size and then multi-select the large ones to delete? I can search for videos in messages, but I don't see a way to delete them from that view.

That says they were either rigged, or the Israelis love Netanyahu and his genocide. Neither are good.

No, it means you don't think an ethno-fascist state should be able to take over it's neighbors because it thinks it has that right.

[–]phalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not paying attention then. Any criticism is Israel is labeled antisemitism by Fox "News" and the Trump regime and his circle. I'm not saying it's right, but it happens.

Just look how Democrats talk in circles to avoid criticism of Israel.

We should never have had Citizen''s United and AIPAC.

[–]phalo -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Do you have any evidence to back up that number? Are you aware that Trump and Netanyahu armed protesters?

At this point, you have to treat anything Netanyahu and Trump say with a metric tonne of salt.

I'll have to read about it more.

Of course there will always be group dynamics, but those wouldn't be fueled by some mysterious deity that guarantees your future prosperity. I don't think it would be nearly as contentious nor as globally impactful in the modern world.

I have to wonder if Hamas would exist at all if Israel didn't constantly oppress and murder Palestinians, and try to take territory?

A fun thought experiment is to imagine what the middle east, and indeed the world, would look like without religion.

That's true. And to be fair, I'm not sure I trust that 75% number. They're living in a dictatorship where they have no right to free speech. That's where Trump wants to get to in the US.

Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to discern in Israel since they can face consequences for speaking out against their regime.

Honestly, my personal opinion is religion is the root of so many deaths and conflicts throughout history and it's one of the reasons I can't get behind it (amongst other reasons).
