A few details in this picture are giving me stereotypical Paris or at least french vibes aswell.

This picture triggers something inside me. I am glad you posted it not on a Friday or Saturday and the mild summer evenings and nights full of atmosphere are gone for this year, otherwise it would hit harder.

My theory: Its that way because humans tend(ed) to describe themselves as special “players” for a long time till this day and beyond. Probably the concept of religion, philosophy and some sciences are also in part responsible for this. When referring to nature, life or species in daily conversations it seems to be rather common for humans to mention humans isolated from the fauna (and flora (and fungus)).

Excuse me, but you do not get one. You found or join and support a union to strengthen your abilities, knowledge, might and skills.

In the past I was dumb and published too much information about me, including photos.

Do you think its (more) dangerous or (slightly) helpful to login again after years of inactivity, probably need to agree to new TOS, and afterwards “delete” them myself or just leave it as is?

Are there any recent resources provided by civil rights organisations or political bodies, courts or similar with some recommendations in that matter? (I am an EU citizen.)

I assume they can feel the higher pressure and maybe the temperature aswell. The smell could also be an indicator that this is not the probably already experienced liquid from above.

I don’t really know where to ask this.

You may consider contacting a helpline.

They have to navigate a lot more typical relationship deal breakers and may be in a better position to advise how to compromise in a relationship.

A lot? Some of them may be more or less famous and therefor a little different when in public, the reputation of the industry is rather bad, the actors and their relatives are subjected to shame, hate or similar. Also most of them have varying sex partners. If we put them on a list of deal breakes these are maybe one of the ones.

On the other hand someone might worry more about other obstacles in a relationship like spend too much/little time together, lack of or bad communication, trust issues, to be an equal part when it comes to care, housework, finance or too much emotional, material dependence. These are way more common I think and if you are able to compromise regarding these “inside” things you have a solid base to handle the “outside” things more easily. The advice of a porn actor is only helpful if all parties agree that all possible conditions inside a relationship could be ranked and are being ranked without contradiction.

I don’t think being a porn actor disqualifies them from giving relationship advice any more than anyone else’s job does.

Neither do I. It feels like you think I value them less as a person than others. I do not. Do we have a misunderstanding here because of my grammar or another barrier related my english skills?

They don’t live in a porn vacuum. They absolutely have relationships outside of their job.

Yes, sure. I agree. But I doubt they do have more experience and/or knowledge in this field than the average person. Teachings how a relationship can improve are limited, because its quite unpredictable due to the mix of cultural, individual and social norms.

These people are actors. I doubt they have more knowledge regarding (romantic) relationships. Also their way to orgasms are not necessarily genuine, the producers and performers are using tricks.

Passions are beautiful.

(Am I the only one who wants to know the whole statement?)

Great parenting right there.

Don’t forget to greet, when some Bandicoot passes by.

I am not that much into tech, but that reads like this being more of a gimmick and a niche. It is great to be able to adapt technology to ones need, but this seems to be something that average users do not think of and is far beyond detailed customization.

That said I think getting infantilised by the manufacturer or vendor, however, is annoying. In contrast curiosity and play instinct can be fun. Having fun is possbible even by being sufficient. I watch older television series, play older games, read older books. I have so much to experience without a subscription to streaming service, buying the newest gaming consoles or computing with the newest devices.

I am not entirely sure if we talk about persistent or volatile memory here (english is not my first language, if its persistent the term storage fits better).

What I do not get is why there is a need for more in the first place? What makes waydroid so “hungry”?

I do not pledge for stagnation, but as progress comes with a price, I do see no need to run forward, hustling even. Instead of going slower and catch up with the people who do not even have internet access nowadays, but want it. Or the ones who are using stuff thats too slow or small for others. Lets try to align access and usage of technology worldwide. Everybody deservers progress and the experience of the advantages technology is offering.

i would want them to produce phones with the best hardware possible as fast as possible.

Why? For what? Ongoing tech “improvements” like this are irresponsible nowadays. As of today we aleady accomplished much progress as humans, but the need to pause, rest, recover urgently is constantly challenged.

Let us break the cycle and finally become sufficient. Especially but not exclusively within consumer electronics.

if spare parts are continued to be offered existing owners lose nothing?

We lose finite resources, the ones of the world and our own. Including spare time. We exchange it for a distraction from reality in 8K and labor that just powers the hamster wheels which probably most of the people didnt want to enter.

This triggers me. I mean, it’s a nice proof of concept and a small skit for the rest of the industry by regularly announce and show that it is possible to produce repairable and somehow better smartphones. It’s like selling organic fruit and vegetables on the local farmers market and attract “conscious” folks that are already trying not to buy food from the grocery store.

Do they think their project, their vision and business model will loose the relatively small attention from a broader range of (possible) costumers if they just pause and use more capacities to support the devices already on the market? Do they fear cuts in their supply chain, because its difficult to re-establish it once the people producing for/with them turn away and work for others?

With the right to repair and othe regulations their (former?) unique features will become a obstactle to persist in the market in which others, the mainstream manufacturers, are getting stronger.

I do not need a new smatphone every two years, not even a somehow fair one. Just produce spare parts for all your models and release everything related as open source, making it possible to run even longer with new(est) android versions or just Linux.

Bonus Panel: Alright Mr. Truman, today’s session is going to end soon. See you next week. Bye!

Pictured: Guys go on a field trip to experience some kind of freedom, the outside world, but before you could turn around they’ve grown up real fast. (The picture was published over 10 years ago.)

Edit: A joke that needs to be explained may not be a good one. Anyway. I was referring to preschool kids, which I see from time to time walking publicy within groups while some/all of them are wearing this kind of vests. And because some armies tend to recruit young adults or even teenagers I came up with my original post above.

(Don’t mind me, am just commenting here to remember this post and the comments published so far, I read them all just now - but just bookmarking and saving them does not help my brain to save and retrieve all the information for a long-enough period of time. Although if I found this words on my own profile and/or even get some reactions from others, it may help me to reflect on this and talk about it in a future therapy session.)
