Hard tack is a very basic cracker that stored and traveled well.

Turning off your GPS will not turn off location sharing to Google or other people, it will just fall back to using cell towers and wifi. Admittedly, it will be much more inaccurate, but it will still try it’s best. You can also turn off wifi and even data service itself to save energy. Although at that point you might as well just turn off the phone.
But I wasn’t talking about system level shutdowns. I want talking about in comparison to your standard level of activity. If you have your GPS on for anything like maps or anything else, you aren’t going to see a noticeable difference with personal location sharing on.

Why even make a fucking lamp in the first place? Weren’t regular lamps good enough as they were?

You kids these days… back in my day, before leds, you would never even consider using a lamp for any kind of sexual act. Between the bulb melting your flesh, the risks of broken glass, and the risks of electrocution… Well it just wasn’t worth it.

Not really. Your phone is already doing location checks every few minutes for a variety of reasons, so it doesn’t really affect it unless you have rooted your phone and hunted down all the little bullshit things that trigger location checks.

Me reading this while watching Paw Patrol with my youngest child: Uhmm, hey, why don’t we watch some Octonauts for a while?

There was also the hiring of spokes people like Martina Navratilova. I don’t remember if she was 100% out at the time, but if not you had to be pretty dense not to realize.

Ya, I actually was waiting for the position of richest person in US. I figured that since he is a foreigner and broke laws to get his citizenship, ICE should be hot on his trail at this very moment.

Ya, but your life experiences change you and the way you think. If you’re software developer it becomes really difficult to watch any show with “hacking” in it. Firefighters and other first responders find it really difficult to watch anything that involves “rescue”. There’s a YouTuber with over 5 million subs who got his start on YouTube by being a firefighter who made fun of firefighting shows.
Now magnify that be a couple hundred years. Your experiences, the things you would have lived through, the basic changes in technology, the world and just the way people live… Your way of thinking would be so radically different from someone who’s only experiences have been in school, parents, and modern life that it would be insanity try to pretend to be one.
I have enough trouble finding common ground and stuff to talk about with those old friends of mine that decided to never have kids or buy a house. I can’t even conceive of how I would go about “blending” in with high schoolers for the rest of eternity.

You are kind of right but your focus is way too narrow and short-sighted. The better off people around me are, the better off I am. Society is what brings me the comforts and freedoms I have today. Without society I would likely be some peasant living in a hut and trying to farm some desolate piece of land until I died at a very early age.
By donating to medical research, I am able to improve medical care for all, and that includes myself. By donating to the arts I get to see art that I would have never been able to see otherwise. By donating to the poor and things like education, I reduce crime and violence where I live.
So yeah, basically everything you do is self-serving, just try not to be such a basic bitch about the scope of your actions.

Often the word unsubscribe itself is a good word to filter on.

I remember back in school how they told us that jumping from the Golden Gate bridge would definitely kill you. In all that time since, I have not died from jumping off the bridge. I have never jumped off the bridge, but I have also never died from jumping off the bridge. So, now I think I was being lied to.

I’m glad they started putting up No Helicopter signs at the entrance to the tunnel near me. I think the local henchmen got so used to chasing people through them that they would sometimes get distracted and absent mindedly take the tunnel on their commute to work.

Over 7 million deaths confirmed to be directly caused by covid. And that’s with states and entire countries lying about the number of covid deaths. It’s actually between 19 and 36 million if we analyze the actual total number of excess deaths.
And that was with most countries attempting to minimize people’s exposure.
I don’t really want to know what you would call a catastrophe if somewhere between 7,000,000 and 36,000,000 dead humans doesn’t qualify.

My mom wasn’t quite that bad, but we do have heirloom cardboard boxes and tissue paper for wrapping clothing. You always knew if you saw that shape under the tree that someone was getting clothes. My sister inherited the boxes and they still make the occasional appearance at family get togethers. Meanwhile I inherited the need to flatten, fold, and store tissue paper that is still whole.

OP obviously has a lisp.

Not at all. Because if I had enough money to avoid family for the holidays, that’s exactly what I would be doing too.

It turns out that the witch who turned the prince into a frog was actually curing his cancer not cursing him.

Doesn’t the second coming of Christ signal the end of the world? Maybe he is more correct than you think.

That’s okay, don’t feel too bad about it… but if you do I hear there’s a potion for that.

Only if you are super poor enough to qualify, and have time and the capacity to jump through all the hoops to get one, and you live somewhere that there is a provider that has coverage, and ect, ect., then you can get a discount on your cell plan. For some people who are “lucky enough” to be super poor enough, the discount can actually be enough to make the phone essentially $0.
