Yes and yes.

I immediately thought it could be one of those speakers disguised as a rock

Thankfully they’re super easy to spot and block.

I do this too. It was surprising to me that I started recognizing them so quickly.

They all get names now. This year I have a whole family of finches that I call the Murphy’s but tbh they act more like BeBe’s kids, just show up throwing seed everywhere and acting like they ain’t got no sense.

Redoing the spark plug wires on my old truck and pulled off the valve covers and cleaned the rust off and painted them.

They’re looking real pretty now. Excited to get everything put all back together.

The person who filed this suit is the type of person that we should all agree is deserving of being bludgeoned to death and thrown in a dumpster.

I may be being too kind to him though.

People like this make me wish there actually was a Hell, because he’d most assuredly be there and tortured for eternity if there was.

Yes , I am. The US right is so batshit that I’ve never found one I could even consider voting for. And most democrats in the US are to the right of my beliefs.

But I am pretty cenrterist in my policy beliefs.

I am asking this in all earnest, even though some may interpret it as trolling.

Your comment history says otherwise. I’m gonna just go ahead and block you.

I’m not trying to be an asshole.

Maybe you’ll believe from a sistah

This is manufactured outrage

Mhmm. Not trying to be an asshole indeed.

To the commenter below - No, you didn’t have to explain to this asshole anything. They know what they are doing and saying. Considering how easy it is to block people in lemmy, I’m taking advantage of that right now by blocking them.

Additionally, I played this last night in local multiplayer, so can confirm it works

They’ll be all, “well, just do it. How hard could it be?”

Though sometimes that’s exactly what I need someone to tell me. To the point that I do this with some of my other ADHD friends. “Do it right now. I’ll wait.”

I’m a firm believer that if the cast out child burns down the village to feel its warmth, then we ought to be handing out torches! Giving abused children the power to escape and also to break their siblings away from their parents instantly makes outsider kids everywhere a lot more able to take the respect as a human being they should have been getting from the start.

It’s bold. I like it. I would support a well thought out and designed plan of this nature 100 percent.

Fucking thank you! 👏

These are child abusers that society turns a damn blind eye to because they claim it’s it’s a part of their religion to be able to abuse their kids this way. Can I have a religion where I get to bullwhip a fundie if I run into one please? Just to restore balance?

I’m not sure that we have a system that can handle that amount of kids, so I’m not going to advocate for having them just taken away - too many chances for other abusers to take in a whole slew of kids and start abusing them too, but there needs to be some serious consequence for what these shitstains are putting these kids through.

It definitely needs to be called out as child abuse when overheard and not just sitting by and quietly letting it happen like too many people do.

And to be clear - I’m not saying all religious people do this. I’m sure there are some very fine religious people out there too. This is about vain people abusing their children for embarrassing them in the name of their religion.

That’s along the lines of what I expected. I’m always just curious how our brains work, so thank you.

I always try to find an alternative to the word regardless of the context because it’s not like it’s hard to do and I’d rather not cause that reaction in anyone if possible.

It sucks that we keep doing the same thing over and over as a society as this is not the first word ruined by being used in the exact same manner as a way to bully and harass and make fun of people.

You’d think some day we’d learn that we can actually teach people not to be shitty and we don’t have to accept this behavior from people at all.

Was it even a battle flag? I thought the battle flag it was based on was square and the “modern” one was created after the confederacy?

I don’t know where you’re from, but in my neck of the woods mustard greens would beg to differ.

I have a question about for you about this if you don’t mind. In certain mechanical situations the word is used to describe a delay added (for example in a car engine you may use this word to describe a certain timing adjustment).

Does the word in a context like that still cause that visceral reaction or does the context make it different - is it only when used to describe people that it hits that way?

I’m only asking this because it popped into my head the other day when I was reading my service book on my engine and ran across it.

It’s kinda similar to how people commonly used a shortened form of ‘transmission’ in the automotive industry but it became a slur for trans people - I feel like I haven’t heard that one in a while so I’m guessing it’s fallen out of use, but I was just always curious if the taint of people bullying with that word crossed over into other contexts.

EDIT: Wait I’m sorry I see I misunderstood what you are asking about. I assumed you didn’t have a CarPlay screen. Disregard.

Original post:

So I haven’t tried these yet, but I’ve been watching a lot of videos about them. I’m not sure this would work for you, but I’m eying one of these for my 82 truck that still has its factory tape deck:

LAMTTO 9.26" Wireless Car Stereo Apple Carplay with 2.5K Dash Cam, 1080P Backup Camera, Portable Touchscreen GPS Navigation for Car, Car Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth, AirPlay, AUX/FM, Googel, Siri

To me, for 100 bucks this beats the heck out of replacing an otherwise decent head unit or just using Bluetooth. It can connect to a line in, then your phone connects to the device with wireless CarPlay.

You may need to confirm that your lighter loses power when the ignition is turned off, otherwise you may have to wire in to keyed power somehow, or remember to unplug it when you exit the car, but that’s really the case with any of these devices I imagine.

Aside from line out, it has a built in fm transmitter or will connect to a cars built in Bluetooth if you have that.

Again, I haven’t gotten one of these yet, but based on reviews I’ve seen, this seems to be the best one to get so far.

I’m not aware of the delete label in iMessage being labeled “delete from every device that you own and have signed into iMessage”.

There are numerous documented ways to avoid the situation he put himself in, he didn’t bother to find one and is now trying to blame others for his stupidity.

They explain how this works in their “tips” app - ie the user guide.

You seem to think that because you expect something to work a certain way, everyone does, and that’s just not true at all. For most of the history of iMessage, they were never synced. Eventually they rolled out the option to sync them with iMessage for iCloud. You can choose to use it or not. But I would suggest that just as many people think that deleting a text from one device won’t delete it from the others.

This is not the case of “apple” storing the message anywhere. This is the case of a user storing his messages locally on his Mac and then sharing the account with his wife. He’s clearly an idiot, but sure, blame Apple for not being able to save him from himself.
