Repple (she/her)

Sure. I am an iOS dev. I understand apples privacy protections and policies. I limit access to most apps and have some amount of confidence in Apple not selling my location information based on both their privacy policies and business model.

I have zero confidence in the security models of car manufacturers, and haven’t looked closely into if they sell location data or not (my newest car is 15 years old) but I’m guessing they do.

Anymore? He hasn’t been coherent in decades, if ever

Maps are fine for me mostly because my phone already knows where I am, and I don’t want my car to. Also CarPlay already supports adding turn by turn to the car’s dash Outside of the normal CarPlay screen

I like CarPlay, but nope. Car operation systems should stay separate from car entertainment systems. Do not want.

N64 games were $70 in the 90s. We’re still way below that with inflation

The dose makes the poison. I have seen people go from helped by prescription adderall to completely paranoid and detached from reality at high doses.

It can be both bad for him at his dosages and good for others, and I think most people here have understood that, though maybe I’m being optimistic

I would still buy this just because

My friend got a dozen or more marriage proposals in Egypt, some including pretty sizable dowries—which really did not help as much as the people offering the proposals wanted. I’m guessing the only reason she wasn’t followed like this was due to the presence of her family

Best battle system in the series. Biggest complaint for most people is how slow it starts. For me it’s how long it takes to get my favorite characters.

Many people are doing this.

That’s just because polling was off. This major poll right before the election had Harris up by 4 points.

Now that it’s clear that Harris’s really well run campaign underperformed Hillary Clinton, can we finally end the myth that some failing of her campaign strategy or “likability” was the primary reason for her loss rather than sexism and Comey’s shenanigans? It really seems like a very large number of men just won’t vote for a woman in the US.

Yep, almond milk is so bad I hear drinking it sent Chidi Anagonye to the bad place.

Hoping with zero evidence that the end of lower decks is just because they’re getting promoted out of the lower decks and the characters will all return in a new show: “The Next Next Generation” (or maybe “Upper Decks”)

From that article:

This quotation is often incorrectly attributed to Francis M. Wilhoit:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.[10]

However, it was actually a 2018 blog response by 59-year-old Ohio composer Frank Wilhoit, years after Francis Wilhoit’s death.[11]

I answered an unknown number recently because it was from an area code I was expecting a call. It turned out to be a pollster, at least they presented themselves as such. The first few questions seemed reasonable, but then it quickly became obvious that it was a call supporting someone running for local office pretending to be a poll. I was not going to vote for that person to begin with, but this was really disgusting.

Isn’t that how we got the national treasure that is Rachel Maddow?

I fucking love rice. Sometimes I scoop some rice out of my rice cooker and eat it straight off the paddle. It’s also great with other things!

Apparently Everest is 157 miles tall?
