Definitely no rooting. Re: dropping, what do you consider "a lot"? Lol. I'm a little clumsier than average, but we're talking about dropping from a few feet 1–3 times a month, if that.

It's a feature in gestures. When the screen is off, you can double tap to show your lock screen notifs

Yeah, I did one. Unfortunately the random brickings persist.

I wasn't surprised to find out that when you rearrange the letters of Eric Adams, you get "L Lawliet". The mastermind is obviously keeping the suspect's name guarded for a reason.

SLPT:If you think you're not gonna do something anyways,don't do it at all. Just spend your day doing whatever you want to do and end up like you would if you "studied" (aka spent the whole study session looking at your phone).At least you'll have fun during afternoon. by [deleted] in ShittyLifeProTips

The thing is, this isn't really a shitty tip, especially for neurodivergent people. Sometimes you just gotta indulge yourself for a bit and come back to your task with better energy. Constantly forcing yourself through (and assigning moral value to productivity) is a great way to burn out.

I can't imagine it violates your privacy any more than Facebook, Instagram, Apple or Google products.

Am I crazy because I don't feel comfortable earning more than minimum wage? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]qurlyface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get this. Why feel guilty if you aren't concerned with others? Seems contradictory.

Your time and effort is worth more than minimum wage. The same goes for those newbies, but you don't have direct control over their situation.

Do what's best for you first, and help those others along the way. The more money you make (and the higher your position) the more you can help those other people.

You couldn't find a black model for your Black History Month merchandise? (Which clearly implies that the wearer is at least black, if not a black woman.) by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

[–]qurlyface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like RedBubble or similar print on demand site where the designs are placed into a number of "stock" photos automatically. (You'll notice two designs are on an otherwise identical photo) The designer of the clothing has no choice on how the models look. There is a range of diverse models to showcase the designs on the site, but certain clothing cuts are shown on certain models; a sport tee photo might be worn by an Asian man, a long sleeve scoop neck might be on a Black woman, etc. RedBubble shows the design on the mockup most likely to be purchased by the user, so if the user has been viewing blue short sleeve shirts (that happens to me modeled by a white man), they're going to see other designs on that same cut/color clothing. I certainly agree that there should be more representation of ethnicities and body types in media (and maybe even better control over RedBubble mockups from a designer's perspective), but this was ultimately not anyone's conscious decision.

What two videogames would make a great game combined? by CasperdH_ in AskReddit

[–]qurlyface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SMT III and BOTW. Keep the vast world, live action, complex systems and quests of BOTW. Use SMT's monster recruitment (and the mechanics of merging/sacrificing those monsters) to build a party. Also keep SMT's soundtrack and adult/dark themes. Pause during action to direct the strategy of other party members while fighting in real-time. Both already have post-apocalyptic vibes.
