Ok so we can’t use ground new because of bias. Where do you suggest we go to get our news then. I agree that there will always be some bias but surely a system that gives you news from so many sources will be less biased than sticking to just one or two sources

The ones that flip and stay in place are fine. Not a fan of the ones on a little plastic ribbon.

I could buy a new pixel 4a for under €200. On ifixit a new screen is €100, battery €40, usb-c port €30. After shipping costs and paying someone to do the work it would be more expensive and the front camera lens would still be broken. Fixing it really isn’t worth it, and if I’m buying new I might as well go for an upgraded model that’s gonna get updates for longer.

I considered it, but the battery life has become terrible too. I’m pretty sure the front camera lens is shattered too, nooit just the screen. I could live with just fixing the port if I wasn’t going on a big international vacation later this year. I really need a good battery for that, and at that point I’d rather just buy something new.

I’m still rocking my 4a but I’m looking to upgrade soonish. Screen is cracked, especially around the front cam making it useless. The USB-C port is in a terrible state and will barely connect with my charters anymore.

Might get this one. I looked into the new Fairphone but I just couldn’t justify the price for a device that’s barely better than what I already have

I should also take a look at previous pixel models. I don’t need better performance. The only things I would like to improve on is getting 5g, wireless charging so loose ports aren’t a problem anymore, and a better camera.

Ha, I didn’t even realised they used the systems interchangeably

In Europe generally commas are used for decimals and periods for marking thousands

I only said it wasn’t ok to victim blame, I’m not at all saying discord is the victim.

The article says the code was not hosted on discord. Even if it was, the code does not infringe on any Nintendo copyright. Having a grudge against discord doesn’t make it fair to victim blame

That’s very vague and sounds like it would mainly affect minorities in a negative way. Not that I think that’s your intention of course.

Definitely illegal in Belgium, is that not the norm elsewhere?

It’s actually kinda odd that celius also uses degree when all other metric measuring standards just use the name of the standard. (Eg. Meter, grams, litres). Degree doesn’t imply metric at all. It would be more useful to just say “20 Celcius” rather than “20 degrees”.

In Belgium landlords can’t prohibit pets. In reality they often say pets aren’t allowed anyways, but if you keep quiet until after everything is signed they can’t really do anything about it. Of course pissing off your landlord by doing something they specifically requested you avoid isn’t going to keep them on good terms, and if it’s an option, finding a home that allows them is better.

Of course this law only applies to pets that are suitable for the space. If you keep a massive dog in a tiny studio appartment you might find yourself in legal hot water, but something like a cat should never be an issue.

The way your comment is worded says you don’t know shit about firearms

Not sure why you felt the need to add this. If he did know more then he wouldn’t have needed to ask.

Swing from a hairy vine, I can be your backpack while you climb.

How 'bout that jingle from that jewellery commercial?

Well Harry potter has already been mentioned as a contemporary example. Can’t think of any utopian examples tbh, reckon they are hard to write good stories for. But since these sort of worlds works be obvious picks I figured I’d post the next next thing.

Excluding wods with magic in a contemporary or utopian setting, maybe some DnD world? You don’t need to have magic abilities to use magic items and plenty of settings are reasonably advanced.

Maybe controversial but I had that with the office.

I want to say I was around 16 when I bought my own pc? Pretty sure it had an AMD r9 390
