then I apologize as well. I read that other comment completely wrong.

the most american comment in the thread. bravo.

ICE can go fuck themselves with a rusty rake 💕🫰😘

twice 😊

this is just straight up cool. and was a fun read.

while I disagree with his hatred of blue and green LED christmas lights being too much (I actually love them), I do love hearing about his process to find the christmas lights of his dreams.

I look forward to these videos every year 😁

oooooh I love Abby cox. she has absolutely great insights into living and dressing in period accurate clothes for quite a long time.

love her stuff. quite a lot of good dress historians and skilled hobbyists on youtube.

I get tired of these myths getting repeated over and over again as well, so thank you for going into so much detail.

there is also a great video by Bernadette Banner that talks about how corsets when used with other methods could make the desired body shape without tight-lacing that I highly recommend watching if anyone else is interested in the subject.

its quite magical how layering certain elements of clothing and underclothing could create the illusion of the “ideal” fashionable body shape of the time.

why is this downvoted? its not even that wild a comment. Signal fans need to chill a bit.

edit: fanboyism is strong in this thread, damn.

I still just keep an offline existing music collection that I update every once in a while. remove stuff I don’t really listen to anymore, add stuff I’m listening to now (through various sources, youtube or buying an album download, etc)

this whole streaming thing is just a nightmare through and through and being tied to an internet connection constantly is a bit stressful. especially when out and about.

I highly recommend a personal library if its a feasible spacewise for your devices.

this kind of mentality solves nothing. blaming people who don’t know an alternative or who don’t understand crypto is not going to solve this problem. nor is crypto a perfect solution by any means.

you’re suggesting a band-aid solution and shaking your fist at “normies”. quite ironic.

from the article:

Crimson Delight have only good things to say about Valve’s handling of the situation. “I have to say the reviewer was kind and forthcoming, we didn’t feel threatened or bullied in any way, and we got the feeling they were trying to do their best to help devs navigate the process,” developer Frenzin writes. “But the fact of the matter is that Valve has payment processors breathing down their neck, and the rules keep getting stricter as time goes on.”

you’re blaming the wrong people. nobody is bootlicking.

my phone that came out in 2020 has better specs than this one and is so much cheaper.

“our society has pushed smart phones down our throats”

smartphones evolved from older methods of just getting through the day. taking notes, listening to music, calandars, date books, libraries, files, methods of communication.

you make the assumption that everyone is a slave to their device just because it’s a smart device.

some of us were alive before smart phones existed. and we’d prefer not to go back in tech. and would instead prefer the devices we have now.

you couldn’t pay me to go backwards in time, sorry!

see I was around before the age of the smartphone. growing up, I thought my cassette Walkman was the most revolutionary thing ever. and when PDAs were new, I would dreaammm about everything being on one electronic device.

smart phones have given me a freedom that younger me never had.

i no longer need to carry a notebook/memobook around, because I have powerful software on my phone that not only let’s me note-take, but index and SEARCH my own notes. from my pocket.

i don’t need to carry the 3 novels im reading at the moment because they’re on the ereader app in my pocket.

contacts, games, all my news sources, photos, videos, all my media.

to me, this is still revolutionary tech and it has only improved my life

i think we are seeing a rise now of adults who were raised as iPad kids who never had to carry all their shit around the way us older individuals have. so they naturally would want to get away from it because they’ve known no different and they never had to live another way before that point.

its an understandable mentality from that one standpoint. but no, I will never give up my smart phone. i understand the reasons for those that do, but some of us don’t really want to go backwards.

all inputs are just run through hdmi. and I don’t use any internet based services on the device at all.

its basically the same as a computer monitor. as all my media is on computers now.

what updates? this TV can’t use internet.

at all.

it can’t GET updates.

my roku TV can’t talk to the internet anymore because it was foolish enough to show me a banner ad while I was gaming

its a dumb TV now 🥰💕

that scene was so well done it made my stomach hurt a bit. No joke.

are you alright, man? did jellybeans kill your family or something?

i have eaten huge amounts of the buttered popcorn flavored jelly beans. they’re delicious.
