Oklahoma: watermelons are vegetables

I use the default Google messaging app, and am in the US. When sending to other Android users it uses RCS. The only time it sends as SMS/MMS is when messaging iPhones because Apple won’t support RCS

Fair. But isn’t complaining about gas prices America’s largest export?

Just checked some other countries and it seems like Canada is the only one that breaks this general pattern, though it’s obviously not rigorous research

Edit: Also, I don’t really care. I was just venting some frustration to The Internet

This is some boomer nonsense. I can’t find 2 sources that seem to agree on specific numbers, but several sources, and my personal experience, agree that gas prices peaked in 2008 after the one two punch of Katrina and the housing market collapse

I started driving in 2006 and bought my first car in 2008 and I can confidently say that I’m paying less for gas now than I was when I started driving and I’m not even talking about adjusting for inflation. Are prices too high? Yeah, probably. But this “then vs now” shit just ain’t true

Such as? Not doubting, I just want to know

I’d love a smartwatch that, along with telling time, is just a screen that shows me my notifications and a button to pause my music.

I don’t open text messages that I need to reply to. I just read them from my notifications and keep them there so that it never goes away and I can’t forget about it

While I don’t think that a main character has ADHD specifically, The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson deals with various mental health problems. I will say that Stormlight is on a whole different scale though. Looks like the first book is about the length of the whole murderbot series and there are 4 books out currently with another coming in December

Reading Atlas Shrugged is actually what broke me out of my teenage libertarian phase. I saw the central conflict of the book as those who were willing to engage with reality (the industrialists) vs. those who wouldn’t engage with reality (the bleeding hearts). However when I turned my mind to the real world it was easy to see that the people ruled by their feelings and far more likely to reject reality were the conservatives and the business types that the book wanted you to believe were the heroes when, in fact, they were just the more long winded. Galt’s arrogant and literally 3 hour long speech (I listened to the audiobook) gives the lie to the idea that this was a confident truth sayer and revealed him to be just a guy who would speak until others had no choice but to believe him. He’s the guy from “Thank You For Smoking”, an unprincipled blowhard. And the people that followed him were just soft minded, listless, and selfish enough to only want what was good for themselves

INSIDE is one of my favorite games of any length

aeiou!

TikTok has video controls. Tap to pause/play. And there’s a progress bar you can drag to seek. Instagram and YouTube shorts are much more difficult to control

Edit: you can even hold either edge of the screen to speed up the video in TikTok. And a 2 finger hold hides the caption and interface

Kodak used to operate on this 13 month calendar. When I asked someone who used to work there, she was shocked that I knew about it and said that it was the best thing about working there. The original plan that this calendar is based on called for a liminal day between years for New Year’s Day with 2 days for leap years

Noooooo… for real?
