My Galaxy S25 does the double space inserts a period thing, even with as much predictive text as I can disabled.

Canned Barqs root beer (the can part is important, it affects the flavor) for non-alcoholic, Woodchuck Amber for alcohol. Hopefully obviously I do drink plenty of water though, I just don’t go out of my way to drink extra.

Please, for the love of god, tell me you didn’t write that post with AI, because it really looks like that was written with AI.

I’m in a similar position to OP, kinda. MonHun Wilds will occasionally, and as far as I can tell completely randomly, cause my entire system to completely freeze while in Linux (also observed in Stellar Blade IIRC) which just doesn’t happen in my Windows dual boot. Also modding Skyrim is magnitudes easier on Windows, but it’s mostly the first thing that is my motivation.

Porn is different for many reasons, chief among them being that the age verification laws don’t actually keep kids from accessing it. On top of that, porn is something that most people are embarrassed about accessing for a wide variety of reasons, and for them any requirement that they make available proof that they did so is equivalent to a legal ban on accessing that perfectly legal material.

Also I’m pretty sure this is the wrong community to be having this conversation.

On top of my suspicion that your mental image of “cities” is just downtown Manhattan, which not all cities and certainly not all parts of any city are like, the fact that you mentioned having a 10 minute commute says to me that you definitely don’t live in a rural location. Simply living in a suburb does not mean you are living in the country, and there has been research done that people are much more likely to think they live in a rural location when they very much don’t if they live in a suburb of a much more dense city.

To answer the fifth point, evangelicals aren’t Catholics, they either don’t care about or actively dislike the pope.

Something being a joke means it’s [insert negative attribute] enough to be laughable, but it being a bad joke mean it’s [insert negative attribute] but not enough to be funny.

Had to look up what a ute was, for any Americans it’s a pickup truck. And I was going to say the exact same thing, judging people for having a spotless pickup.

Hooray, I’m glad my thought process for initial steps was correct. If you don’t mind me asking, my thought process for the recommendation of canvasing as opposed to something like flyers is that doing so would make you and your efforts come across as more human and genuine, especially if part of the pitch was that Comcast was astroturfing, do you know if that’s something that actually works?

I don’t have any experience doing this, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but my first step would be to collect information on how similar projects have turned out in the past, in terms of cost and adoption, as well as how much money Comcast is spending to counter this effort and what kinds of services they offer in the area at different price points. Then see if there are any people in the community that agree with you on the deployment of municipal internet who could be convinced to make the effort to assist you with convincing the rest of the community. With that information and those people, organize a canvasing effort, as in go door to door and actually talk to people about their stance on the matter. I would focus on that “locally owned and operated” argument, as well as the fact that if Comcast is spending money trying to prevent this they surely must be expecting to earn even more money from not having any competition in the area, so they can get away with higher prices and worse service.

I always assumed it stood for “thank goodness it’s fridays” honestly.

I mean, the reason why polyandry is so much less common is that nine months is much longer than half an hour, or at least that’s the most obvious reason.

Speaking as someone who didn’t get a phone until 16 or 17, I would say try to figure out what kids his age are using to communicate with each other and get him a device that allows him to participate in that. At the same time, try to educate yourself on what parental controls are available, and at least try to make an effort to educate them on computer and internet literacy, stuff like how to recognize and not engage with clickbait and to not overshare information where it can be seen by strangers.
