It’s also a naturally busy time for living organisms in the northern hemisphere. I’ve just got things going on, man.

Listen… it’s for… archival and digital preservation purposes.

I’ll keep calling it Twitter until all of the branding is gone. My login notification email is the same as it has been. Blue bird and all.

The only reason I still live in Ohio. My salary is almost double the median income, and I’m still just barely staying out of the paycheck to paycheck life while paying my spouses way through school. I wouldn’t have been able to afford a house anywhere else with just my income and maintain what semblance of a life we do have.

The perks of living in the decaying rust belt I guess.

No doubt. Ten years ago, that same phrase would’ve meant I had to decide between gas and food on Wednesday.

Now it’s enough to pay the bills and tuition after we lost their income because of covid. I’m constantly teetering on overdrafts thanks to the financial obligations we have from when there was 40k more a year in the bank. Sure, it might not be for the same reasons, but it’s a similar situation. It left me with no room for savings. You can be broke and make good money, due to situations beyond your control.

I came from three generations of broke people on both sides. It’s not like I don’t get it. Just decided to prioritize the betterment of someone I care about, and not remain in crushing debt for the rest of my life. I drive a 13 year old truck. My phone is 4 years old. We shop at discount grocery stores. I’m not just blowing it.

Point being, if I lived anywhere else but Ohio or some equally inexpensive state, I would have lost everything by now.

Honestly, I’m all for it if it means bringing back ridiculously sized phone batteries with huge bumps that can act as a finger shelf. My note 2 with a 4200mah battery was a beast in 2013.

Totally forgot about the complete back replacements like that! I’ll take 5. . Week long battery life here I come.

I always thought it’d be more of a feature phone type os. Couldn’t compete with what Android had to offer to the mainstream Western market at the time using primarily HTML, but I’m glad to find out that is what it turned into.

It’ll hit equilibrium eventually. Not like this is something unusual for a platform that’s making the rounds as the new and exciting thing.

I remember this feature being removed around Android 9 or 10ish. Possibly. However, you could always use Tasker. Someone even built a convenient profile you can import.

One of the reasons I prefer the colder months. It’s so much easier for me to look nice in warm clothes. Layers tend to be eye catching, and it’s nearly impossible to layer up in the summer months here without nearly expiring from heat exhaustion.

Funny you should mention those. I actually purchased my first one not too long ago! I’ve never been a fan of floral patterns, but the retro/neon revival has helped with that somewhat.

LemmyWinks666 , 11 months ago

So cozy… so many options.

The internet as a whole.

LemmyWinks666 , 11 months ago

You’re not wrong. I was so desperate to get online as a kid I was pirating my neighbor’s internet on my Nintendo DS with a borrowed copy of the browser, because that was the only hardware I had with wifi access lmao.

I’ll concur. This is one of the few games I’ve actually paid for, and it was worth every penny, even during beta. Probably going to be my go to for the winter.
