Not sure if a mobile device have that type of processing power lol

Not really “diabolic”, its common in my highschool when class is in the afternoon and the teachers want to make it sort of like those paper homework where its due at class time, so you could technically finish it in other classes or lunch time before that class actually begins.

1. Reject the gift
2. Start a meth empire
3. ???
4. “I am now become Heisenberg, the knocker of doors”

(C’mon just keep it. Its not like there’s “strings attached” or anything, right?)

You mean like you wouldn’t have the job you have and thus can’t survive, or do you mean like… mental health peer support groups on the internet?

Plot Twist: Final Destination is actually just people halucinating from CO poisoning

Hmm…

According to USCB, the first generation of immigrants is composed of individuals who are foreign-born, which includes naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, protracted temporary residents (such as long-staying foreign students and migrant workers, but not tourists and family visitors), humanitarian migrants (such as refugees and asylees), and even unauthorized migrants.

In some definitions, however, those born to at least one immigrant parent are considered “first generation” – or rather, first generation of an immigrant’s descendants (i.e., second generation from the USCB definition)

The term 1.5 generation or 1.5G, although not widely used, refers to first-generation immigrants who immigrated to the new country before or during their early teens, ages 6–12. They earn the label the “1.5 generation” because while they spend their formative years engaging in assimilation and socialization in the new country, they often still maintain native language, cultural traits and even national identities from their country of origin. Oftentimes, in the case of small children, a battle of linguistic comprehension occurs between their academic language and the language spoken at home. Their identity is, thus, a combination of new and old culture and tradition. Sociologist Rubén Rumbaut was among the first to use the term to examine outcomes among those arriving in the United States before adolescence, but since then the term has expanded to include foreign students, as well as other unique individuals.

I guess I’m just using the American definition. I’m 1.5 Generation by that definition.

Lol I just pirated it yesterday and watched the first 5 movies. I would kinda get freaked out when random start dropping or if it got windy.

Yea honesly idk how I’d react. I’d probably just act like a good friend and go with them off the vehicle to comfort them, while similtaneously having the goal of getting off the vehicle, two goals done at the same time.

Then if that vehicle actually explodes or whatever, I’m gonna get so freaked out and I’m gonna start getting paranoid about what’s the worst way death is gonna get me. Probably my phone exploding, since I kinda have it like 1 feet away from me when I sleep. So just a thermal runaway and BOOM I’m dead. So I place the phone far away in anticipation of this. But then I’m near an airport so perhaps some piece of a plane is gonna break off and smash through the window into me in bed, crushing my head.

Yea idk if I even have the will to survive this, I’m kinda suicidal so I might just kms to get it over with.

I feel like supernatural movies are just made to trigger schizophrenia and cause people to start being paranoid about everything.

Like imagine someone borderline schizophrenic but very chill, then they see The Truman Show and now they go full paranid mode.

Or worse, Inception might cause a suicide.

Some shitty HP Laptop with Intel Core i5 (don’t even remember the gen number but was around like 2014-15), something like 256GB or 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM, 1366x768 resolution, webcam, intergrated graphics. Also I think it had touch screen but the grease from my fingers cause it to randomly activate. And even wiping it off still sometimes had those issues.

It had windows 8 but then I updated to windows 10 for free.

(I did mess around with Ubuntu later on)

Its capable of running Skyrim at lowest settings with at least 30 fps, GTA V with 30-50 fps.

It already doesn’t have the DVD thing that I saw some older laptop have.

I used a USB-A dongle wireless mouse with it.

Gen Z btw.

Edit: Reading these comments make me feel like Lemmy is a club I’m too young to join lol

In the c/Privacy community, people say e/OS isn’t as secure as Graphene OS. Although e/OS has better privacy compared to googled android, but apparantly worse security (late security patches).

I’m glad these exists, but remember that these only work as long as device manufacturers don’t lock the bootloaders.

Your country’s government could pass a law that requires bootloaders to be locked for “national security” reasons, and there’d probably not be much resistance since most people don’t even use custom roms. (Looking at you, USA and the autocratization)

After examining the phone, the BBC confirmed that the censorship mechanisms were deeply embedded in its software.

Remember, this could happen in your country.

Its always “It Can’t Happen Here” until it does.

Some go as far as inventing authoritarian oligarchies

tankies are authoritarian, their “leftism” is just a disguise to obtain power

I figured out the world of piracy which 10 year ago, I was very amateur at it.

And piracy helped me gained a lot of fun from the entertainment, and thus knowledge of movie/tv and “pop culture” stuff helps me understand a lot of the memes.

And I read a lot of stuff on Wikipedia about history, politics, and technology, while many of my peers from highschool (a few years ago) were busy on tiktok and instagram.

I now feel like I sort of understand the world better than 10 years ago which I have zero clue about wtf is going on in the world.

But needless to say, my life still suck. I have a lot of knowledge (relatively speaking, compared to my peers), but zero political power to change things… 🤷‍♂️

Not sure what good is knowing if I don’t have a throne and a kingdom to sit on to, say, stop climate change.

I’m just another puddle of depression…

99% of channels suck. Its only the select few educational channels that actually have content. Other than watching Youtube, I pirate a lot of TV shows and movies.

This is why red jurisdictions are a “no-go zone” for me as an Asian American first generation immigrant.

“Come here John”

J.S. IV and V in unison: “Me?”

I told my mom I’m suicidal, she told me she regretting giving birth to me for “being ungrateful”, and now I’m even more suicidal and perhaps even a little homicidal.

In game theory, the best strategy is called “Tit For Tat”: Be nice at first, but strike back (in equal proportion to what they did) if they refuse to cooperate.

OP already tried being nice. You can’t live life being a pushover.

A society cannot be tolerant of the intolerant.
