European guy, weird by default.
You dislike what I say, great. Makes the world a more interesting of a place. But try to disagree with me beyond a downvote. Argue your point. Let’s see if we can reach a consensus between our positions.
I’m not against supporting a software in a recurring form but the web browser is essentially the lock and key of accessing the entirery of what exists outside your machine.
That would garner an immense power to whichever entity developing one. Remember Microsoft and the IE case.
Firefox is not perfect and apparently on a downwards spiral but what made it stand out was because it wanted to be free and for all. Chrome is far from being a good thing.
Still too rich for my blood
That sounds very nice!
I don’t have the money for a FairPhone.
But unplug from the net? Sounds strange. The model I checked is a fully fledged smartphone. Nothing that signaled the phone was about not having advanced functionalities.
Going to separate houses for the night.
They are free to talk about theirs, if they are willing to hear about my own beliefs or lack thereof.
Being laic, religion is of no concern to me in my daily life. I do accept others don’t have the same view and stance and if that brings them joy and a feeling of sense to their life, great.
As long they respect me in return.
I’ve made my peace with the threats of damnation. I fear humans more than I fear demons. And I only need to casually surf the web to take a look into hell.
So, I’m good.
That could work.
Doing nothing returns a substancially more probable outcome of sibling rivalry/hatred.
Family sense, notion and belonging are taught.
I do that as well but for some reason it doesn’t have detrimental effects on me.
I often hit myself on the nose with the phone because I fall asleep. In the morning, it helps get my brain gearing into motion.
Go barroque. As in absurdly elaborate on what you throw at people you dislike.
Spanish have a saying that gets thrown at people that like to run their mouth. Very loosely translated it says something along the lines of “May you swallow a peacock and every every feather turn into a straight razor”. Takes some time to put it out. Gives a person time to get their blood settled.
But please don’t forget insults have always been basic and directed or sprouting from prejudice. I understand and respect what you are trying to put forward but it will not be am easy task.
We are basic creatures. We still go for what superficially differentiates one from another. It’s about anger and fear. It’s primal. Spinning this off and putting something elaborate and as personalized or generic as possible is a tough endeavour.
I personally find amusing to insert some nonsense into my speech when letting out an expletive and for some obscure reason I tend to go for vegetables and gardening.
You can be asked to go tend your cabbage patch when you miff me and I would really want to see you go away.
But this works very poorly outside my language.
Good luck on your quest and have fun.
It should. Seeing in low light is a very useful thing. And we could dispense some of the light polution we create.
Low light vision.
I was always very sensitive to bright lights and sincerely fear I’ll go blind at my last years but I can see at higher definition under low light conditions.
My vision stops processing color and I get higher definition of contrast. I’ve walked through dark areas with no difficulty, where others simply said they could not see a thing.
It would be funny to see the karma converted to currency usable to buy awards to give away.
Interactions like:
“Take my hard won [insert currency name here] in the shape of this award and get out!”
Nothing for nothing, get your things for free.
I think I parked my only 775 about 10 or 12 years back. But paradoxically I ran an AM3 cpu from roughly the same era until this summer and it coped with my needs.
So it just disappeared? How long did ot last? And is the same skin usable or could it resurface or reactivate the old tattoo?
Now I’m even more curious.
How long will those last? Can you expand a bit on it?
Mine too but I always thought I was an odd thing.
Electronic, e-ink, price tags.
Centrally linked to a shop back office workstation. You can turn the entire shop upside down twice a week and the actual work to change the tags would be negligible.
And for what it matters, lets assume a very large nation wide chain, like Target. The stock leaves their supply wharehouses unmarked, as it should. The cargo is then delivered to the stores, the tags printed (waste of paper), with full price, and the shelves restocked. Each store has to deal with their local taxation or absence of it.
It is not a very complex endeavour.
You be the judge of it:
