i do have some sympathy for teachers taking phones away because I had one class in school where a kid would play that noise outside the frequency adults can hear really loudly the whole time on his phone.
Also memes and texting friends are always going to win out over algebra and english class if they are an option right there
They’ve done actual studies that show these protests are counter productive, blindly supporting anything just because they claim to support your cause is incredibly dumb.
In this world there are a huge amount of people who really, really, really like attention and will insert themselves into anything to try and get it, they’ll use any excuse to ‘boost their profile’ especially if they can pretend to be some form of hero along the way.
The idiot who got shot in the capitol and the idiot who threw soup on the painting are the same unthinking attention seeking type of idiot, the right pretend they’re breaking into the capitol to save children, the left try to ruin people’s day in the name of climate change - then on their respective sides a whole host of idiots cheer and say ‘I’m supporting these brave activists so I’m not part of the problem, I can continue to live my life exactly as I chose - safe in the knowledge that cheering on these idiots is enough’
I’ve put about 200 hours into Oblivion and 180 into Skyrim, 150 each into Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, all without mods. Been happy every time. I think the whiners need their attention spans checked. Go watch Paw Patrol if you need constant action, you big babies.
Can’t change you from “not upset” to “upset”, true, but can definitely make your more upset. See example: Catching your clothing on door/cabinet handles when you’re already mad
I does indeed start out slow, but it gets better after a certain point in the main quest. It’s a fairly standard Bethesda open world game, so just don’t be expecting something more and you should enjoy it. One thing I’ve appreciated as a hoarder is that your run speed doesn’t decrease even when you’re hugely encumbered, your stamina (oxygen) just goes down as if you were sprinting.
Probably if you’re okay with a sci-fi theme and don’t mind that you have to load into most locations rather than being able to run to them. It has more in common with Fallout than Skyrim.
Just everything, i played it and went: “nah ain’t it” and then i played it more hoping i would like it eventually as it was bethesda, but my opinion never changed.
So if i have to give it a name: the reason i don’t like it is because it isn’t skyrim…i guess.
All of the above. Phone call, sms photo video. Everything. You can also just install corresponding apps from the playstore or any other store. It’s basically stock android but with more granular control over permissions, and with sandboxed google services
Don’t use fast food apps, their only and sole purpose is to collect your data.
The McD app doesn’t run on Graphene because it can’t get info to sell off so it can fund the discounts you get from using the app.
That’s the economics of it. Your data gets sold at 100% value, you get discounts worth 60% of that value, they pocket the difference.
On another note, be careful of any loyalty program these days, even if it’s not digital. They use it to track exactly what you buy and at which location, e.g. grocery stores, and give you discounts in exchange. Sometimes it’s just for inventory and stock management, but some less scrupulous companies will sell off your consumer data for an extra buck, especially if you tied a name or address to your loyalty program membership.
Then there is the story of the guy who went several years on a grocery store loyalty card. One day he slipped and fell from a spill on the floor. When he spoke up about his injuries the store’s lawyer said “We see in your loyalty record you buy a lot of alcohol, were you drunk that day?” Just a story I read- might not be true, but it could be.
