I can't be the only one who feels like this is the absolute lowest priority of dumb shit to resist the regime over. It's just filler. Another thing he is doing to flood the zone. But one that really doesn't hurt anything. It's a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.

As many have mentioned the real reason is to suppress votes by making the experience miserable.

The cover story for the rules is to prevent campaigns or other groups from "buying votes" by giving people in line food/water in exchange for a promise to vote for their candidate.

Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.

My problem with tiktok/reels/shorts is not that they aren't federated. It's the entire format/concept I hate.

Some people are smarter than others. Some people are so smart that they struggle to be interested in school unless it's a challenge, and can simply skate by like your roommate.

I certainly can't say I am anywhere near that level, but I was smart enough to coast through a lot of subjects I was interested in without studying.

I also learned from a young age that I could pass a multiple choice test on a subject I knew nothing about just by intuition, looking for context clues, and guessing. Ask me to write an essay on an unfamiliar subject, and I was screwed, though.

Playing tennis.

In jr high I had some friends who played football say my other friends and I on the tennis team were gay for playing tennis.

I had to point out to them that the tennis team was co-ed and we regularly made out with our female teammates on the long bus rides to tournaments.

While those on the football team were constantly manhandling each other, showering together and slapping each other on the ass to say "good game." But the tennis team are the gay ones?

They got mad, but dropped it.

First, go up to the first tree you find and start punching it until wood cubes come out. Then craft a stick with the wood cubes. Then use the stick to beat the first sheep you see to death until cubes of meat pop out. j/k

Do what superkret & nemo said in their comments. Don't worry about food, focus on finding water, and getting rescued.

Dude. I needed to use this app the other day for the remote shutter function, and I was somewhere with no signal and no internet. Only to discover that the app had updated and now required me to create an account to use it. I was pissed.

I was once on a Greyhound bus where a guy was loudly talking on his phone, but not on speaker. The issue was he was just repeatedly saying:

"Listen....... Listen..... Listen.... Listen... Lemme tell you.... Listen... Listen .... Listen lemme.... Lemme tell you .. listen"

For half an hour.

Finally a hero yelled out: "Listen! Lemme tell you to shut the fuck up!"

He said "lemme call you back later" hung up and shrunk down on his seat as the whole bus clapped.

I have a full-sized and a 96%. I don't know how people live without a numpad. Even my laptop has a numpad. I don't do excel shit. But at work I have to enter alot of phone and CC numbers. At home I use the numpad for rating photos when sorting and importing them.

I enjoy IPAs, but it really is disappointing when you go check out a brewery and all they have are 7 IPAs, and 3 nasty ass sour fruit experiments. Give us some variety.

These AI corps really are determined to unnecessarily ham fist "AI" into everything, whether it makes sense or not.

Pretty unlikely anyone will want 50yr old WiFi tech for normal use. If the capacitors even last that long. I know vintage computer collectors have to recap a lot of machines to keep them going. As a camera collector myself, the early electronics in cameras are often dead already, or ticking time bombs for failure.

I used to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper. Then hide all the desktop icons and set the taskbar to auto hide.

I don't mind a bit of lens flare, and I like depth of field in dialog interactions. But motion blur and chromatic aberration can fuck right off.
