These memes just agent that funny. Its like making a meme that just says 'windows users are stoopid!' Even if you agree with that statement, its not funny...

As an example of one I do find funny, the first time I saw the arch user urinal meme, I chuckled a bit. Obviously after 50 million reposts its not as funny, but this isn't like a top tier clever meme, and its funnier than anything this guy has posted.

Everyone thinks they'll be in the 'in group' with a dictator. The only 'in group' is the dictator themselves. As you said, over time the 'in group' gets smaller and smaller. Really frustrating how people still champion this shit on thinking they'll be in the special group too!

Here's an example on the bigger items: I bought a used car that was 4 years old when I bought, I've since owned it for 14 years, so it's 18 years old. Yes its starting to fall apart and I should probably buy a new one soon, but in the timespan that I've owned a single car, my brother has bought and sold something like 7 cars.

Just the shear amount of stuff I see people buying around me all the time, is insane.

"It's a wonderful Life". I'm not religious but the message of the movie is very straight forward, and very important. Be a good person, always try to help others, have integrity, and try to make meaningful connections with people. You also don't have to have a long list of accomplishments to have a meaningful life, as long you positively affect others, you've done good.

It's a wonderful life used to be my favorite movie to watch around Christmas time, to remind myself of whats important in life, but now I've added:

The movie "About Time". Slow down. Savor, and enjoy life. Most days I forget about the message of that movie, but I try to remind myself every now and then. It hits especially hard now as my father passed away at 80 last year.

I stopped buying their phones when they started locking the bootloaders for the Qualcomm ones in the US. My last one was a galaxy s5. Sadly now I go with the pixel line directly from google, because I know it'll be unlocked.

What if I told you... return2ozma is part of the problem. They continuously post negative articles about Harris and very little negatives about Trump...

The only exception to this is google maps. There isn't really an alternative, because they have the network effect going with all the points of interest added already, and crowd sourced by people, plus the reviews of business and restaurants. Even if you can get all that going with a Foss app, its not going to be tracking you, and unfortunately maps is the 1 reason for tracking people that actually gives the user some benefit, traffic data. I don't think there any other Foss maps that gives traffic data, which if you live near a city or travel a lot, its invaluable.

So.. The scenario is about your parents. Does that make it any more clear to you?

So... Let's say your parents are murdered tomorrow. And the investigators and the news reports just say that they died suddenly on Monday, you know full well that they were actually murdered, they just ignored using the term 'murdered', you'd be totally okay with that?

Those 2 phrasings have the exact same meaning to you?

I would muuuch rather a full Linux phone, and run Android apps in waydroid then have an android phone and run Linux apps in a VM...

I wish postmarketOS had a fully working phone that you could daily drive that was slightly more modern and worked on USA networks.
