    Words that have lost all meaning

    I wouldn't say my example is of the word losing all meaning, but moreso of people misunderstanding the meaning. A lot of people think overrated means "it's popular and I don't like it". Just say you don't like something, throwing overrated in the sentence just makes it come off like you're...

    Countries turning back toward Conservative?

    A lot of this stuff comes and goes in waves, and the post-Covid recessions a lot of countries are going through are tossing out the incumbent parties around the world.

    Will the political parties in the US ever go beyond a 2 party system?

    While I’m not denying those people exist, there’s a significantly higher percentage that didn’t vote for them because of their policies than gender. A lot of the analysis of why they lost don’t bring up their gender and go into their campaign, and policies. Those had a significantly bigger...

    Threads Vs. BlueSky, Which One is Good?

    I don’t use either of the two sites. I’m still on Twitter because the people I follow are on Twitter.

    Will the political parties in the US ever go beyond a 2 party system?

    I don’t think a female president would have anything to do with the Democrats splitting. If they do split, it would be over whether they should target the working class or alienating them because their votes allegedly “don’t matter”. If you look at how both female candidates lost, their gender...

    Threads Vs. BlueSky, Which One is Good?

    I think people compare Twitter with Bluesky more because it was started by Jack Dorsey, the former owner of Twitter. Threads is just something Zuckerberg made for shits and giggles. They also moved to Bluesky because of Politics. Twitter used to be a left wing echo chamber until Elon took over...

    Probably Link’s Awakening

    Your Strangest Internet Encounter?

    I had some guy internet stalk me for like a year or two because I committed the most heinous crime: I called him an idiot. I know, I know. I should be ashamed of this, but to make matters worse, I called him an idiot more than once. Anyway, serious talk. The guy was the admin of a game forum...

    Global warming: fact or myth?

    The reason why people believe it to be a myth is because it’s an “abstract” concept for the average person. Since it’s a gradual thing as opposed to an instantaneous thing, it can cause doubt. Add onto that, the more heavily affected places are far away from them, makes it less tangible. For...

    What would cause your mic to stop?

    Is he doing the traditional hand to head phone call, or is he using some headset or his car? If it’s the former, does the audio just straight up cut out? It’s either damaged (aka new phone), or he has some app that’s messing with it. I’d have him took at the settings and look at anything...

    Do all "real" pop ups on PCs have an identifying element?

    Idk why a license number would show up. Not all pop ups are malware.

    How would you feel about getting your own small children a smartphone?

    It makes sense if both parents work and they need a way to contact their kid(s). To prevent children from being glued to their phones, parents could also practice this new fangled thing called parenting to prevent their kids from being addicted to smart phones. Things like setting time limits...

    Your internet footprint

    My internet footprint would be boring too. Oh no, this guy listens to hipster music and watches anime, a scourge upon society.

    Wireless Charging for cell phone

    You probably got the 10W wireless charger than a 20W. Makes a huge difference in charge times.

    Wireless Charging for cell phone

    It’s closer to a sensor, but it falls under electromagnetics. The charger and the back of your phone are both magnets, and when the magnets connect, it creates a charge.

    Wireless Charging for cell phone

    It’s less energy efficient, and if you get a 10W charger, it’ll take hours, but that’s rectified with a 20W charger. Other than that, the differences are negligible for either or. I have one next to my bed, and it’s nice to just plop it on there.

    Hate Speech

    The problem with banning it, is that people have different opinions on what does and doesn’t count, and the pendulum swings in both directions. One day you agree with it, but then when the guard changes, now you’re on the receiving end

    Phones that don't have security updates

    There’s not really a lot of context clues in your OP. Outside of asking us if your phone gets security updates, you just tell us what phone you and your husband have, and how you guys aren’t getting updates and just stops there. So at that point, it’s like… okay… what kind of responses are you...

    Phones that don't have security updates

    If you worded it that way in the OP, I would be able to interpret the thread to mean that and gave a less snarky answer. Your OP comes off like you’re bragging about your phone not getting security updates in years as opposed to asking why Google stopped supporting it years ago. It reads like...

    What do you think about the covid shots?

    Most of the people complaining about 5G have no idea what they're talking about. Tieing it to Covid is like... wut? Or its real implementation is to control the microchips in the vaccines the goverment made everyone get. Some real tinfoil hat stuff there... From an RF standpoint, 5G isn't that...
