  • Bluetooth headphones are a pain in the ass. Every single day I have to go upstairs and unpair them from my computer when it takes over and starts blasting my little brother's Minecraft game instead of my podcast.

    I just run the wire inside my shirt and never have the ripped out of my ears problem. I keep my old phone to use as an MP3 player since it still has the 3.5mm jack.








  • I think it's important and relevant that once a leftist government realizes they are wrong about something they act decisively to fix it. Cuba went from incredibly legally repressive to the most clear LGBT+ positive law on the books anywhere. Often social progress is achieved against general public attitude which means cashing in political goodwill to do something they "didn't have to". See also the elevation of women's rights in the USSR.

    I suspect that one day China will realize, or be made to realize, the importance of LGBT+ rights and when they do they will act decisively as Cuba has.





  • None personally but I've always had a huge amount of anxiety about driving even before I rolled and totaled a car when I hit a patch of glare ice on an otherwise perfect road, driving exactly the speed limit. I don't consider it my fault, but I'm genuinely lucky no one was coming the other way or I might have killed them or myself. It's fucked up that I'm forced to keep doing this activity I know is extremely dangerous to myself and others, and it makes me look like Lt. Barclay from Star Trek if I talk about it.

    The way it's justified is so telling too. It's just like so many other issues we talk about on here so often. Once you understand the language of "I know this is wrong but I'm going to throw some cope logic I don't even believe at you so you shut up and stop making me feel uncomfy" you can't help but notice it.

    Edit: I don't even know how I managed to get on this thread from three years ago
