Oh, but that’s ok, because you can always REDACTED using the REDACTED by speaking the REDACTED. That’s the best way to REDACTED REDACTED the REDACTED.

Are you talking to a conspiracy nut? If so, you can forget about reasoning with them. They don’t play this game by the same rules as you do.

No amount of logic, facts or evidence will ever help. They have emotional issues, so you need to use an emotional solution.

Same. I already have two lifetime memberships with other companies, and they work just fine. No regrets.

I took a similar risk with Bean (a Lemmy app for iOS). It was all good for the lifetime of the company. Turns out, it wasn’t very long.

A friend of mine made an online store and he started selling e-waste ahem… various affordable electronics. He wanted me to test a Chinese tablet, and I said yes. This was back in the day when Android Honeycomb was a thing and iPad 2 was a reasonable option, so even the best tablets weren’t that great.

I got the tablet, charged the battery, booted it up, and it was just barely ok. It worked, but it was really slow. I mean, like slower than my first Android phone. This was not even last gen hardware. It was clear that some all corners were cut. The storage, CPU, RAM, bandwidth etc. Every component was the slowest one available.

Anyway, the testing went slowly, as you would expect. It ran out of battery very quickly, because of course it did. Why put large cells or even mediocre quality cells in a cash grab like this. So, I charged it up and continued testing later until it ran out of battery again. Rinse and repeat.

After a few days of testing, It just didn’t boot up any more. Apparently some of those cheap components just couldn’t take the heat that comes with using a battery powered device. Rust in pieces! I hope this abomination gets ground to shreads and drowned in sulfuric acid.

I returned the tablet to my friend and I never heard from it again.

I prefer to eat two meals a day. It feels like a sustainable lifestyle instead of just a temporary fix. Normally, I have only breakfast and lunch. If I deviate from that by having something in the afternoon, my weight begins to increase gradually.

In Nemesis (comic books) there was a moment when the racist fanatics ran out of groups to persecute, so they just came up with a new target: people with freckles.

Someone would invent conductive and grounded beans. Maybe aluminum foam could be used?

I think I’m already seeing signs of pre-war polarization.

USA is pushing certain countries away, and they will naturally form new relationships. Maybe in the future we’ll have USA and Russia as one of the rogue states in the axis of oppression. EU will obviously see themselves as one of the good guys who bring democracy and peace to the world.

However, having a civil war in USA looks highly likely as well. Have you considered pulling off a coup d’état yet?

It’s the university for criminals. How do you expect anyone to pull off a an elaborate bank heist, or build a drug cartel. You need experienced professional criminals for that.
