What do you think the Great Filter is?

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...

We're still new to the game, and we have no idea what we're looking for.

Now that Mozilla will start selling ads what is the best Firefox alternative?

Probably still Firefox. The web is shit.

Will this make them stop spamming me for likes and referrals even though I'm a paying customer? Maybe they can even offer me that 6TB storage tier that I've been willing to pay for but only happens to people who spread the gospel and bring in referrals.

The tone around this company is too preachy and evangelical compared to other paid services.

Great catch. It seems that since the last time I've turned off email subscriptions, they've added three more at the bottom: Drive, Pass, and VPN to individually deselect. So it's opt-in until I manually opt out. Additionally, this is inaccessible from the mobile or desktop app and I'm not sure it will turn off the top right advertising banner that shows up sometimes.

Swastikas painted on our house when I was a kid.

Kids yell in the public park tell me that I have to go back. When pushing my son in a stroller.

Getting told that I will have to pay for stuff when I pick it up at the store at Dollywood, like I don't know how a merchant economy works.

Had to fight a lot in the feral public school system growing up. All the ching chong jokes.

Being referred to as "chowie" by a prominent basketball scout while in high school.

Being asked if I eat dogs by my boss. In 2023.

Being asked if my mom was an Asian whore by another boss. In 2018.

Being told that I'm not Asian and that some white girl looks more Asian than me and how can I even claim to be Asian when I don't have squinty eyes?

Jokes about my ancestry when they can't place me.

Being pulled into secondary every time I travel through Paris CDG because I always get flagged. And one Securitas security officer telling me that Americans will never accept me as American when I finished.

Dating scene as a teen, everything going well, then meeting the parents, then being told I wasn't allowed to date their white daughter anymore. Like clockwork. Which is fine, they can't handle the spice in my food anyway.

It's funny that we buy these metal and glass phones and then protect them with rubber and plastic cases.

New phones are made to show wear so that they lose resale value.

I like the design and wish manufacturers in general were a little more flashy with their phones. This photo is reminiscent of the last days of Nokia.

But if this is anything like the days of HMD Nokia partnership/branding, it is pure trash. I owned the X20, XR20, and T10 tablets since new and none of them work anymore, and the XR20 never got the updates it was promised.
