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

Both of the middle ones are memes, though the top one is far more popular

Around the time the pointing one was big i saw the yawn one a LOT, and the others here occasionally

than the $30K down,

Which you had because of that 9k/month

not the 20% people expect.

Again, because of the high income

I’m extremely tired of criticisms of cryptocurrency without a very least acknowledging the problems with the global financial system that drew people to it in the first place

It's weird to request that criticism of something first do PR work for said thing, that's why

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

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

It's not dangerous at all, superheating is rarely a thing and you can avoid it in a multitude of ways including slapping a spoon in your cup

If you're talking about the microwave somehow doing something to the water to make it irradiated or something (which I've also seen claimed): no

I used to use my Japanese red one for GBA games and the like, it seriously kicked ass for that purpose for many years

But the Steam Deck exists now and so Ive moved to more powerful emulation pastures

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

This is what most places I've been at did even when I was the newbie in the OP

"Oh, you helped us with some basic IT knowledge and can do even more for us later if we keep you and don't treat you like shit? How about I get 6in or less from your face and scream so loudly that your ears ring a little when I'm done?"
