    I enjoy the shitposts and I don’t block communities based on a single post. But the brony shit was weird and cringe back in the day on Reddit and it’s just as cringe now, and I’ve seen a few already. And those bronies are probably in their 30s and 40s now which is grosser. If this becomes a brony community it’s for sure getting blocked.




  • Not really relevant but a few weeks ago I started getting emails from nextdoor related to a town in Alaska. I’m in Australia. I’ve never been to Alaska.

    I get about 30 a day and the unsubscribe button doesn’t work. I don’t have access to the account using my email address so I can’t change it either. Had to just report as spam. Now my spam folder is hundreds of nextdoor emails per week. It’s wild.

    So, could be fun to weaponise it against your enemies.

    I don’t need an audiophile smart phone. But the main draw back in the day was you could declutter your pockets. But then they removed functionality after everyone got rid of all the extra devices. Like the aux port, expandable storage, removable batteries etc.

    In this case I bought one of the cheapest DAPs I could find. It just happens to also have noticeably great sound quality. I just wanted an aux port and enough storage to have my music stored locally so I wasn’t relying on the cloud or a subscription. I was sick of fucking around trying to get wireless stuff connected all the time. It never works right in my experience.


  • You right but it’s not my job to enlighten people. I’m rude to anyone that knocks on my door without an invitation. You’ve made my dogs bark and interrupted my day. Usually woken me up because I’m always up late.

    The local JW’s descend on my neighbourhood like a flock of sundress wearing seagulls. All these women in matching flowy floral dresses hop out of their van and an old dude in a boat hat directs them around with fliers and Bibles. They’re at my door on Saturday morning at 8am. I told them I’m not interested the first time. The second time, I told them I’m going to go off at them if they wake me up again, it’s rude and I don’t want to hear anything they have to say.

    The third time they came around I told them to shove their Bibles up their fucking cunts. They still woke me up the fourth time because I sleep with my window open, but they didn’t knock on my door again.

    I fucking hate them, and I’m not going to change their mind even if I follow your approach. I grew up in an abusive religious household and there’s no getting through to them. They have a superiority complex about their beliefs and think they’re better than you for being a non believer. Having that conversation with them just fuels the narcissism. I’ve tried with family members as an adult and it has literally never gone anywhere except for a snarky “I’ll pray for you” when the conversation ends.

    Not sold in Australia. I’ve had that issue a lot with smart phones over the years. The one time I bought one from a different retailer I spent $2k on the damn thing and the stock phone case shattered the glass body fresh out the box, and it stopped charging after 6 months. Asus refused to service it because it wasn’t covered by warranty in Australia, completely ignoring Australian consumer protection laws. Nothing came of my legal complaint either, they just took the fine they received. Never buying Asus again, or a model that isn’t covered in Australia.
