that’s the golden ratio. the Golden Rule is when people pee on each other as a kink

that’s classicism. capitalism is something that is askew, awry, or crooked.

the issue that caused societal collapse in the mouse utopia Behavioral Sink was overpopulation, not that they had their needs met comfortably lol

for a more accurate comparison look at Rat Park Experiment.

TL;DR: rats in solitary confined standard lab testing cages will consume lots of morphine laced water available as an alternative to normal water, rats in a spacious cage with other rats of both sexes and entertainment are not very interested in the morphine laced water. in fact they drank more of the laced water when naloxone, a drug that negates the effects of opioids, was added to it. the implication being that the rats were more interested in sweet water than morphine in good social conditions

who is the Nazi that was almost president instead of FDR?

i don’t type capital letters

because fuck capitalism :3

this is far too specific to be a hypothetical.

you sound like a Vietnam war vet recounting their tour.

thank you for your service!

I believe that it functions as sunblock!

now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople

Bad Ass. are towels a part of the dress code?

what the fuck yo

I think your first hell doesn’t sound too bad. unless you’re adding that something outside the spirit is keeping it locked in stasis artificially, incapable of making any progress, that just sounds like the core aspect of meditation.

I quite like meditation

no that’s probably because whey tastes absolutely awful so they try to cover up the flavor.

it’s usually a synthetic sweetener and I’ve found plant based protein powders are usually less guilty of it.

who is Anit and why do you support their fascist tech?

this is such a cool concept ty!

where did you hear about it?

per @[email protected] in another comment here:

The old jelly pro had a decent modding community, and I definitely was able to unlock the bootloader and root it, though not sure about degoogling.

I’m not really sure. what happened when it was no longer officially supported?

yeah the screen is very small but that’s kinda the point for my use case. I didn’t want all the limitations of a dumbphone (i.e. I wanted banking apps, gps, useful browser) but I wanted to add friction to my phone use to encourage me to use it less.

battery life is great, lasts me almost 2 days without a charge and will typically go from almost dead to almost full if I plug it in while driving to work. part of the battery life being so good is that I use it less and keep it in grayscale 99% of the time I figure though.

camera is great, it’s 48MP the same as an iPhone 14 Pro. the pictures don’t look great on the device because of the tiny screen but when I look at them on my computer or the pixel 6 I still use at home they look great.

speaker is pretty awful, it’s fine for calls but music, fuhgeddaboudit! I have a Bluetooth clip on speaker that’s great and I don’t really watch videos on it so non-issue, for me at least.

screen res hasn’t bothered me but again that might just be use-case. most of what I do is reading text and it’s fine for that esp with high contrast on, looks ugly but again that’s friction and I want that.

not sure. stacking niches means there’s a good chance the answer is no though.

if it’s just a matter of specs it should be up to it, the hardware is pretty beefy for a phone, but I figure there’s more to it than that.

personally I don’t have the spoons to pour in the effort required to degoogle. the fact that the algs and few ads I see are completely irrelevant to me suggest that I have thoroughly confused them by how non-standard my internet usage is. I’m not overly concerned about the data they do get or what they do with it.

there are enough Man-Made Horrors Beyond My Comprehension™️ keeping me up at night but you do you

this is definitely a trade off. batteries are either small, tall, or thick. my phone with a 3" screen is quite bulbous.

I prefer that to it being thin and having like 3 hours of use time though

there is one option.

well and a couple others that are also made by Unihertz depending on your needs/wants

more companies making them would be cool but the general consensus I’m reading here is that there are 0 and that is incorrect.
