If we go by the logic in some media where the ghosts are bound to the house/property, they probably don’t want to be stuck somewhere that will eventually just dissolve in the rain.

My takeaway is that I’m gonna start calling no-bake cookies “no bakies”.

Weirdly, back in the dumb phone days, with T9 I could bang out texts way faster and more accurately so long as I wasn’t straying too far out of the dictionary. But it was super easy to add new words, and it would pick them up later.

I’ve only seen it in a you’re selling yourself short fashion.

Yeah, that’s usually how I see it, or maybe just how I’ve always interpreted it.

A question can be a shower thought, especially if it’s a rhetorical question.

Not to mention, the Philosophical Raptor meme format is pretty much just interrogative shower thoughts

I used to watch that all the time when it was randomly on - never in the same timeslot, and I think the local network just used it as filler - but I always forget that it existed until someone randomly mentions it.

“Look what I can do!”

“He look’a like a man”

We had that show. It was called “Star Trek: Voyager” but she went by “Janeway”.

I’m about to have my house powered by fusion energy.

I understand where OOP is coming from re: social media screenshots as memes but I’ll still have a bit of fun meme-ing the dilemma. No hard feelings, OOP, and I agree with you.

If you reverse the polarity of lots of things, you get a fire starter.

You mean the one from the obvious troll account that was obvious?

I’m just now realizing that’s probably my resting face.

Chuck Norris never dies. He just waits.

It’s not an “or” situation. It is and always has been an “and”.

My gripe is with people refusing to do anything on a personal level because “what does it matter when X industry pollutes more in 5 minutes than I do in a year?”.

I get what you’re saying and the “individual carbon footprint” is often used to blame shift to regular people just living their lives, but we do still have a carbon footprint. It may be a tiny, rodent-sized footprint compared to the Kaiju-sized ones of big industries, but our actions and choices do have an effect (especially collectively).

I just don’t like dismissing the individual carbon footprint as total propaganda because it’s not wrong (though I acknowledge it is abused). Dismissing it like that just puts out a defeatist “nothing I do matters” message when our individual choices do matter and add up.

Can you live a totally carbon-neutral life in the modern age? No, probably not. But we also shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater and do nothing.

If it turns out to be the former, I don’t blame them.

• Not every <input type="text"> is suitable for political opinions.
• Political opinions are like assholes: we all have them, they all stink, we all think our own doesn’t stink, and the world is a better place when everyone doesn’t have them on constant display.
• People who inject politics into everything are generally insufferable and there’s a reason major communities have rules prohibiting politics.

Yeah, I’ve got all those turned off. Actually, they came disabled by default (one of the OS customizations Minimal does in their base image). I usually turn those to at least .5x on my other phones to make things feel faster, lol, but in this case, they were already off.

But there’s still subtle transitions and some animations that aren’t affected by that. One of the latter is the animations on the lock screen when you’re entering your pin. Those have to be disabled separately in the security settings (and weren’t disabled by default by Minimal).

Quite possibly. I don’t think I have anything running below A11 that still functions so that’s been my baseline. Most recent was my OP3 that had LineageOS’s A9 but the battery finally gave up the ghost a few months ago.
