They want you to consume only from them and only what they approve of

Not just that, I remember when app stores were new and people clamoured to be on them AND those app makers would often move to ONLY being on the app store, with anything downloaded off-store being a scam

So a lot of people grew up to use these devices at a time where downloading something off the web was more likely than not to be malware, giving them the ick on the idea as a whole

Fuck, I'm from the time a bit before all of that and even I have a goddamn hard time downloading shit that's available off-store on someone's website out of pure paranoia from those days

Which honestly would have been fine (relatively) given the situation had he fucking addressed it after the fact

"Yes, Jewish slaves built my rockets before being killed. Had I not helped, I'd have been one of them" is all he needed to say, it's a very easy to understand position

"I'm apolitical" is what he said instead

Verner was a fucking Nazi, only a guilty man would say that shit

So you didn't sign it because you have no idea what it actually says and didn't look into it at all?

I love democracy

than the $30K down,

Which you had because of that 9k/month

not the 20% people expect.

Again, because of the high income

then immediately we had inflation

Gee, I wonder if there was a massive, global event that could have had a big impact on the economy around the same time...

Much bigger than 2 checks to some people... Can't put my finger on it...

Should we tell them about that time every major character gets reborn as a child clone thousands of years later so they can be chased by 2 beings, one of which is named Marty?

No, not yet? Ok....

Bullshit you actually believe somethig that can be disproven by buying a $60 kids toy and looking up at the moon through it

Or at least, you only believe it at this point because changing your view would rock your tiny world too much

If someone wants me to install a service exclusively to speak to them: fuck em, not worth it.

I use basic text messages to contact people, it's damn near the most universal thing people have when I meet them. I'm not gonna go out of my way to download an app and remember to use it for a specific person when texting exists and everyone else uses it already

I went through California school a little under a decade ago and can tell you that the letters from Birmingham Jail and an at least somewhat decent overview of sit-ins were absolutely part of my standard curriculum

Though I'd bet there are plenty of places in this country where that's not true

It's significantly faster to just tell it to set an alarm than it is to go into the app and do so manually, wanting it to work with all of the features isn't asking a lot

What a weird thing to be a dick about

Also things like the butterfly in one of them look off in a way that a human who's seen one won't draw it as if they're actually capable of the rest of the image
