Hey charities.
I am NEVER going to donate to any of you who use fucking AI cold calling. I just got off the phone with a very convincing AI agent.
Want money from me? Employ the people you claim to be helping.

Oh hells no.
I loathe the Android interface so much more.
Another feature is that the camera comes on randomly.
Like.
Part of the reason I’ve been a rabid Apple fan since *checks watch* 1984 is because they’ve always had, in my opinion, superior innards, superior performance, superior longevity, and WAY BETTER DESIGN.
It’s like Apple hired all the design rejects from Google and told them to make it worse.
FFS.
The other new “feature” in the “upgraded” OS is that every second time you pick up your phone or try to turn it off or on the camera comes on instead. Yes, this is a setting. Yes, I changed it. It should be fucking off by default.
It’s SO BAD. Especially if you have any visual disability at all. I have astigmatism and liquid glass is the absolute shits.
I also prefer a clean dock; I don’t keep anything there that isn’t open. I had all my apps arranged by type of use, could find them in seconds. Now I’m searching and grumpy.
WOW has Apple enshittified itself lately. Not only do I loathe the stupid “Liquid Glass” display “feature” with the burning rage of a thousand angry suns, THEY GOT RID OF LAUNCHPAD and went to a Windows-like app browser and I fucking hate it.
YOU DON’T NEED TO CHANGE A GOOD DESIGN.
i don’t blame them. Their leader is a despot.
CanadLiam’s‽
JESUS CHRIST AUTOCARROT
If only they had a Nobel prize for petty and indignant whining.
Nope. CanadLiam’s do not have the”right to bear arms”. It has something to do with the US being born of rebellion and Canada being officially born by growing up.
ima change the size of the whole-ass moon!!

It’s factually correct.
Firearms, explosives, gas, bombs all kill people faster than rocks. There have been studies.
I have no real animus toward any inanimate object until it’s used to cause harm. I’ve enjoyed shooting, as a farm kid have had to shoot at predators and varmints (nothing like an excited badger in the henhouse).
And you have nailed the issue exactly.
We don’t need MORE deadly tools.
Yep.
We have some turkey vultures who live in our area in south SK. I have seen them into the winter; this year’s winter has been incredibly mild, but folks have said some do stick around.
Not enough.
I’m beginning to wonder if other countries just don’t want them. The moneyed classes fleeing before/during the collapse of an empire is always weird.
If also like to request an end to our freedom to turn right from the driving lane.
I had no idea of the girth.
Wow.
Yep.
They sure are.
Absolutely.
That’s not how it works though.
Development on crown land, leased or not.
I made it very well.
Just because some folks assumed something I hadn’t said doesn’t mean the point wasn’t made well.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say people have the right to own ammunition I say ban all the bullets end of story………
Not lately, thank glob.
Yes. Absolutely it is.
Sure do.
Yes. It is.
We need to be able to say “yes. Guns and hammers are both tools. And you can kill with a hammer and with a gun but guns make killing easier because it’s what they were invented for.”
Why would we not want to regulate this killing tool?
