emdash

I laughed several times while reading this

Nice emdashes, comrade. o7

The part with the scientist who did a study of 9 families who called increased eye contact as an "improvement" made me grimace.

This is too real. Talking to average liberals makes me want to tear my hairs out, because everything they have to say about politics is just a parroted thing they heard someone else say, or at best you get an "original thought" which is an attempt at a gotcha that is dispelled by even the most basic of research.

If you're vegan you're probably familiar with the fallacy bingo card. There is nothing more frustrating to me that talking to another vegan and the conversation turns to politics and suddenly they are spouting all kinds of liberal fallacies and refuse to reflect upon the fact that they are doing exactly the same thing they shit on carnists for doing.

This sounds like the ideal relationship

I had to listen to 40 hours of history podcast to understand this meme, but I'm glad I did

Reading the comments on this really is interesting. They've got some alternate history going on:

Communist revolutions have always been led by elites who claim to speak for the masses. That’s exactly how Mao rose to power.

I eat my lunch by scooping it with flatbread almost every day, and the whities at work still stare at me for it

Tauon works for me, but my synced lyrics aren't embedded.

Cuba has resorts. It's one of the most popular vacation destinations for people from Canada, if I remember correctly.

My bank app works fine, not sure what they do differently

The point is that people severely exaggerate how "unusable" a degoogled phone is. There are FOSS alternatives to most things, and anything there isn't an alternative to is probably a shitty service that you'd be better off without (see: burger apps)

MicroG might be installed, but I don't use anything that uses it. Since Aurora lets you search for apps that don't require it, I always go for one that doesn't.
