  • On a related note, go fill out your donor card people. Even if you’re one of those “nobody will want my organs” type of people, do it anyways. The transplant people will figure out if your organs are viable when you no longer need them anymore. Let them figure that shit out for you. Just check the box to be a donor and don’t think about it any further.

    and the stupid rumour about “the doctors will kill me to save 8 others” is bullshit. I am glad my donor signed. His wife said she didn’t want him to, but seeing me live because of his selflessness made her reconsider, and she tells everyone to be a donor.

    I can spend hours doing work without any mandatory updates .

    Weird way to say spend hours fixing something that just randomly borked your PC.

    Seriously, though. Windows has a fuck ton of issues, but it seems like every distro I install I am eventually greeted with something just completely breaking for no reason whatsoever and spend the next 6 hours scouring Linux forums for a solution, where everyone is just hostile as fuck screaming at people to “figure it out yourself” and to “use Terminal”.

    Glad it works for you, though. Wonder how many downvotes this cold take is going to net me lol.


  • This vaccine was so incredibly safe that it’s ridiculous that she chose to die rather than getting it.

    Unlike the transplant meds. Pretty large increase for cancer from them.

    Seems weird to refuse a COVID vaccine, but be fine swallowing a ton of meds every 12 hours that increases your risk of cancer significantly.

    Obviously me and many others accept that increased risk, because like you said, the other outcome is just dying straight up.

    In the end I’m glad the organ went to someone else who will respect and appreciate it.

    They took YEARS to redesign the Android app. They missed their promise deadline at least twice.

    Now they are finally rewriting their Android app to be on par with their iOS app, but who knows how many years that’ll take.

    It’s already been 8 months since they said they were rewriting it, and still haven’t released anything, despite aiming for summer. Not to mention they’re already planning on shipping a half baked version whenever they finally do…

    As discussed in the January update, Android will require more work as we are rewriting more of the application, with a big focus on performance and stability. This means some Android features you have requested for Mail are not in our immediate scope for delivery. In particular, conversation view (also known as threading view) won’t make it into the first version of the new Android app, but we hope to deliver it soon after release. Thank you to everyone using the beta Android app for the helpful feedback you have sent us. We hope to be able to release the new Android app to everyone before the summer.

    That’s the worst thing about Proton AP. You pay a premium to wait like chumps. Not to mention they nickle and dime you for everything! I can’t use Proton Pass with my expensive business plan, because they want me to pay even MORE to access it. Meanwhile BitWarden is like $1 per month.


  • Obviously if only one person is wearing a mask and not the other(s), it’s less effective, but it’s still VERY effective.

    I’ve properly masked up, along with my girlfriend, since the beginning, and neither of us have gotten COVID yet.

    We’ve been to weddings, conferences, shows, events, friends, families, shopping, etc. and we are still good. Even places where people have tested positive after, and we’re still good.

    People have a weird perception that visiting family and friends is safe, but if your family and friends don’t mask up, they’re opening you up to thousands if not hundreds of thousands of potential exposure in their day to day life.

    We are also extra cautious about sanitizing our hands when removing or putting the mask on, we don’t shove our masks in our pocket, we shower as soon as we get home, and we wipe down our groceries to prevent any germs. Colds and flus can last 24 hours on surfaces, so we treat COVID the same way. Actually, we treat COVID as if it lasts 3 days on surfaces.

    The biggest issue is people don’t protect themselves properly. Chewing your fingernails in the grocery store, or bringing your dirty ass phone home and not wiping it down when you get in the door is keeping the spread going.



  • It’s only going to get worse. 20% of the US is illiterate. 50% can’t read above a 6th grade level.

    I believe it.

    When I watch TikTok, the video will explain everything extremely clearly, and the comments are FILLED with questions or criticism that were answered or done in the video.

    My favourite is when I comment on a Canadian TikTok page about something, and someone else comments “ughhh it’s not illegal here and it’s $5” and I reply with “what province?” and they respond “Texas”. Like bitch, you’re on a CANADIAN page, with the person clearly talking about CANADA, and you’re talking about something unrelated in Texas telling me that I am wrong?


  • My old landlord refused to fix our water heater, the leaking roof causing mould and water damage, the outlets that were falling off, the broken light switches that didn’t work, the ceiling light that was flickering and and literally hanging by the wires. All for $2000/month + utilities. Then he kicked us out because he wanted to sell the place, but now he can’t sell it because no bank will touch it with the amount of water damage it has lmao.

    Oh ya, can’t forget the 5 times he’s banged on our door threatening us with his lawyer because he stole $100 from us, we asked for it back, but he refused to answer our calls, so we had to wait 12 fucking months before our lease was up and we started paying month to month for us to subtract the $100 he owed us for 12 months from the payment.
