Lucky for everyone including himself this guy is a recruiter, not actually flying the drones.

He brings out the bigger gun, says it’s unloaded, and the kids all start going “PUT IT DOWN” Omfg I’m dying

I don’t know enough about browsers to really know anything about chromium. But I did see a statement from Google which I believe stated that they were removing support for adblockers from chromium based browsers. It was at that point that I decided I did want to continue having a usable browsing experience, and immediately swapped.

Maybe it’s just shitty phones ¯_(ツ)_/¯ either way though, if your feature makes my phone unusable it’s def gonna trigger me. Obviously that’s very self centered, but I believe accessability should be for everyone. Far too often devs remove beloved features from their software and it breaks so many legacy features.

Except when laying down and your blanket touches your screen and it loses its God damn mind.

Fuck I hate gestures

To your last statement, the answer is always yes lol. Admittedly, without despining it your going to have difficulties scanning in the text closest to the middle of the book, but any knowledge or media being archived is amazing.

You don’t have any friends that have join the military?

once “artificial gravity” was mentioned, I immediately placed this in a science fiction setting

Ok, not sure why you would do that but that’s on you buddy.

Looking at pictures when trying to read is absurdly distracting, I wouldn’t recommend just taking pictures. Instead, you can use a tool to convert a photo into a pdf document. It rips the text from the photo and types it for you. That enables you to just upload the text, which makes for a much smaller file size while having higher quality for the things that matter. But it’s still very involved, you will definitely want to proofread the entire PDF to ensure it didn’t make any errors.

Unlike that other guy, I think the less valuable a book is the more it needs to be digitized. An incredibly valuable book will be stored in a museum, and will likely be digitized if it needs to be and is capable of being. Whereas there are millions of books that don’t get many copies and no one thinks to digitize them because they’re not “important”. That results in immeasurable amounts of lost media. Plus, if the book is cheap, then there shouldn’t be any issue getting a second copy just to tear off the spine and scan it in, right?

Also worth noting, if the book is valuable and you do tear off the spine, there are a ton of places you can send the papers to and they’ll make you a custom spine for the book and rebind it for you.

So you’re saying I’ll have to vote centrist for 2028?

Oil execs should be executed for crimes against humanity

Same thing really imo

I have this exact hard drive, it only cost about $30. If I cared about the light, I would be at least willing to attempt to mechanically disable it. Judging by OP asking, I’m assuming they are too.

Fortunately you won’t have to wait long. Either we get a revolution in the next 20 years or every non-1%er dies.

Science and futurism with Isaac Arthur will always be my favorite YouTuber. The guys personal history is fascinating, he’s always been very involved with his community. He does video essays about different aspects of the future, from spaceship designs that work under currently known physics, to what the future of sports looks like. He covers megastructures like Dyson spheres(or swarms more likely), he’s touched on micro and nano technology, I bet you haven’t even heard of a Santa Claus machine. I recommend you start with his earlier stuff although it’s not mandatory. It will give you a good idea of the logical frameworks he works within. Plus hearing “whalegun” literally never gets old.

There’s also PBS spacetime. Matt Dowd is an amazing person and a very effective physics communicator. You can come away from his videos with nearly a college level education, but it’s a lot of work because it’s not easy to understand all the time. He’s breaks things down excellently, but the topics he covers are so complex that you can only reasonably break them down so far. He does quantum videos, lots of black hole stuff, breaks down everything we know about dark energy and matter, discusses the heat death of the universe, and gets into Einstein Rosen bridges and the holographic theory.

I don’t know what “bias” is in this context, science isn’t really political and doesn’t have a “message” so there’s not really anything to push. Either you communicate the truth, or you’re a grifter. There’s isn’t really an in between. That being said, this next person does make their political beliefs more known, although rarely does that get brought up in their videos.

Joe Scott from Answers With Joe is awesome! He does a lot more wide ranging stuff, like weird occurrences(missing people, time travelers, alien abductions) but he present them in a very unbias way in the sense that he tries to tell all sides of the story. He’s not a conspiracy theorist, but he does find some of the more wacky conspiracies interesting. He’s also done videos on AI before LLMs started taking over, he covered Omuamua back when that happened, he’s discussed how climate change will impact different areas. He’s a much more layman-level YouTuber than the others in this list, but he is every bit as informative and entertaining.

Styropyro does lasers and extremely high voltage, The Plasma channel does things that might shock you, the Thought Emporium does a ton of crazy cool stuff like gene editing and growing a real mini rat brain to play DOOM. IDidAThing does foot stuff. CodysLab is interesting. The video content is incredible, but Cody does give me some mildly unsettling vibes.

Shout-out to The GrandLine Review. They’re not sciencey at all, they cover One Piece. They’re cool and funny though, check em out if you’re into lore videos.

If anyone liked these recommendations, let me know. My feed is nothing but this stuff, and I’ve got a lot of YouTubers who I watch.

Everything by MADKID and Chihara Minori is great

Obviously you get to choose your labels, but theres absolutely nothing wrong with being a tomboy and it certainly doesnt invalidate your identity, unless you feel it does. Some of the women i know and like the most are tomboys. I certainly dont view them as any less of a woman, although quite frankly i dont spend time thinking about peoples genders either.

Just do you! Being proud of who you are is great, but if you dont like who you are there are always options to change. If you had to describe how you want to be viewed, how would you go about it?

I dont know the laws in your country, but here doctors cant share any info on their patient without consent. I dont know if that would extend to a disagnosis like that, but the idea is that you ask your doctor if they think you are, and then you proceed according to their advice WITHOUT GETTING THE DIAGNOSIS. It would be massively beneficial for you to know yourself, as unchecked both of those can wreck your quality of life if youre not actively looking into coping mechanisms.

Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers? Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of? Have you had any issues dating? None of that is a guaranteed diagnosis, but if those questions particularly resonate with you or you feel called out then its worth looking into.

Legends of runeterra has a single player campaign that is probably the funnest card game ive ever played. There are in app purchases, but ive been playing off and on for about 6 years and ive never bought anything. No ads either. Rogue card adventure i think is another really good one despite the less than impressive name.

Optionally, its fully possible to get an emulator on your phone. Id recommend a bluetooth controller (a lot of older phones wont allow wired controllers even with the adapter, but ime every phone allows bluetooth controllers) but its not required. You can emulate any game from atari all the way up to gamecube on the shittiest $20 walmart phone with a screen.

Finally, as long as you are on android, technically you can get almost any app for free. Super illegal and they definitely (wont) prosecute you, so i would highly advise against checking websites like apkaward, as you might find malicious programs that install fully playable games on your device, such as the amazing star wars:knights of the old republic 2 android port that can be found on that site. Fair warning though, if you accidently end up up with kotor 2 on your phone id highly recommend getting the content restored mod. It adds back in all the cut content and fixes a slee of potentially gamebreaking bugs. On current android you do have to use a conputer to install the mod, but its very easy and i can help you with that part as it is entirely legal.

Have you ever been checked for autism or adhd? Common symptoms for me include that im not in tune with my bodys “hunger” meter. I often forget to eat or dont eat enough, and as such the first real sign of hunger i get is when i start getting dizzy and it becomes hard to move. Could also be from not having enough food growing up, so my body stopped producing the “hungry” signal.
