He even looks like a movie character for whom they tried to cast a person that embodies dereliction of duty!

On a general note I would say for the individual consumer it doesn’t matter so much if they keep releasing yearly, we just don’t have to buy yearly.

It’s kind of a waste of resources for the manufacturers supporting more models than necessary. If that leads to shorter support schedules that’s when it impacts us. But as you observed they seem to be lengthening at the moment.

I’m currently on a Pixel 6 from 2021, that I bought used from someone who was chasing the latest and greatest. I have no reason for changing yet. After October 2026 when support ends I’ll see if I have to migrate to Graphene OS or something. If no secure path forward exists I may have to get newer hardware then.

From what I can tell, the only OEM that does this currently might be Fairphone.

Does what? I don’t see anything in the sentences before that “this” could refer to.

I got three, they all seem to work on me, but sometimes I prefer one over the other for no clear reason.

1. Counting my breath duration. Breath in at normal speed, count how long it is, then breath out slower than that by two or three counts.

2. Force my thoughts to become disorganised. I do something like free association between concepts and pictures of the inner eye. Common starting point for me is a free flight over a hilly landscape, then random things, woods, trees, rocks, water whatever, I don’t try to control anything about the theme. If I start thinking coherently or about something concrete from my life, I just start again, with another nature scene.

3. Imagine a calm scene. The suggested starting point I was told was floating on an air matteress in an alpine lake (helps that we know those around here, but I’m sure non-alpine lakes work too) and imagine the things you can see uphill as you drift around your axis.

I wouldn’t say it’s in trouble. It’s about to be retired by ICANN. But there isn’t any trouble, just standard policy processes.

Anything that weakens him before his second coup attempt is good in my book.

Divine full-package futanari confirmed

No shit, after her dating Kate Harrison for a while and them probably even exchanging rings of some sort, this isn’t that much of a surprise.

Thanks for the info. What a shithead

Is he an HPV vaccine skeptic too? Because that wouldn’t bode well for the rates of cervical cancer.

Plus there is a deadline for enforcement if the wrong person gets presidential immunity, so it’s also necessary in this case.

Repeated surgical corrections for your ever growing earlobes

Enforcing their religious views on employees, even if they turn out to have that right, is so morally wrong.

Fucking taliban.

I hadn’t heard of the term Awrah before and googled a little. Guess it depends on whom you ask:

https://aboutislam.net/counseling/ask-the-scholar/women-issues/is-womens-voice-considered-an-awrah/

It’s still unfathomable to me that this is even a question that needs to be considered… But then again I don’t deal well with religion in general.

Who is that? I looked up a picture but still got no idea.

“Bilbo Baggins My Balls”

Good group name though!

If it’s one or the other dieing I am sure hoping for Bezos

My company uses Macs. It’s miserable. Even after 3.5 years I can’t get used to this shit OS. At least the shell is mostly usable compared to Windows, but damn.

That makes sense. He’s old enough and close enough thematically to have seen a few of these tech hype cycles.

Let’s hope they have lots of GILF-hunters
