I feel like you’d be massively disappointed. There is/was very little “unhinged” stuff and what there was had zero comments or interaction.

They’ve designed the system intentionally this way, to keep people dependant on them.

- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
You have to connect it to a server to even use it
That’s also true of the versions of Android that 99.99% of people use
cannot have any third-party apps without an online account.
Most people don’t care. They’ll use the suggested app store and have an account already.
Right or not, it is what it is.

And then you get - el agua
Feminine. With feminine adjectives. El agua clara
Spanish is still way more consistent than English tho

I think Motorola makes a much better flip phone in terms of experience overall.

It’s one of the best ones to come out recently, but it’s still significantly taller than the pre-iPhone 6 models

- Comment on Europeans watching US/CA relations implode 1 month ago:
Yeah like I said. Plus it doesn’t look like they’ve ever used it without being asked.
- Comment on Europeans watching US/CA relations implode 1 month ago:
Not really. They’re part of the Commonwealth, an association of former British colonial possessions, and “recognize” the British monarch as their own monarch. The monarch (King Charles, currently) has a representative in Canada known as the Governor General. They do a ton of stuff like appoint Prime Minister, heads of the Provinces, dissolving parliament, etc.
However they almost exclusively can only act when asked to by Parliament or the Prime Minister. They also do ceremonial stuff. They do have some emergency power however it’s never been used in the post-independence era.
Basically no, not really. King Charles (King of Canada) could technically try and like dissolve the parliament or something but it would cause a constitutional crisis that would probably just end up removing the whole Canadian Monarchy thing.
But they are strong allies.

It’s been declining but in 1981 it was at peak with 65% of male babies circumcised. In 2007 it got down to 55%. Source: www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/…/circumcision_2013.htm

No in the US it’s almost standard practice
- Comment on Mercury poisoning 1 month ago:
That’s not elemental, metallic mercury. It’s methylmercury which is easily absorbed by the body and very toxic.
- Comment on Mercury poisoning 1 month ago:
From my understanding no, not elemental mercury. The main danger with that is inhaling mercury vapor.
However the broken thermometer could introduce open wounds which could do something I’m not sure.
Here’s a guy swishing some around his mouth, he explains more about how the body generally can’t absorb elemental mercury. Not through skin or mucus membranes. youtu.be/DNpdMz0Cfv0
He’s been tested and has not shown to have unusually high levels of mercury in his blood.

The screw to get to it is supposed to be on the side that would be facing the wall when plugged in so no

- Comment on Britain will not recognise Trump’s new name for Gulf of Mexico 2 months ago:
At least the parts that used to be Mexican Territory, if nothing else.
Or all of it I’m good with that too
Although the fact that Mexico’s official name is “Estados Unidos Mexicanos”/“Mexican United States” does muddy things a bit.

- Comment on ADL defends Nazi salute 2 months ago:
They’re an organization that calls out antisemitism.
Problem is saying anything against Israel, or pro-Palestine will get you on their public list of antisemites, along side your local neo-nazi militia members.
It’s Zionist propaganda and intimidation.
- Comment on Anon is in trouble 2 months ago:
I like it. Use the filtered water at work, some of this when I want flavor/caffeine.
The black cherry flavor is honestly great. And if you happen to have a carbonator at home try it carbonated…

Pork can be done all the way down to medium rare now that Trichinosis has basically been eradicated from pork. Though most say it’s best at medium.
