  • I bought my folding phone and I very rarely unfold it. Wasted so much money and I’m like bleh …

    Basically the experience I had with my first smartphone: I got it into my head that having a foldout QWERTY keyboard would make writing more than just short text messages on a phone less weird and that getting a Nokia would also help ease the transition from dumb to smart since most of my previous phones had been Nokias.

    Turns out I quickly stopped using that keyboard and the Symbian OS Nokia used back then was compatible with like a dozen apps or so 🤦🏻






  • Like Apartheid South Africa before it, the current system is.

    A secular nation not based on discrimination and a total lack of restraint when it comes to enforcement of said discrimination, though, IS possible as long as we start treating them like we treated Apartheid South Africa in the 90s.

    My mom and most of my friends’ parents refused to buy gas at Shell stations during the final decade or so and for several years after that because they kept doing business with SA after the rest of the world boycotted them. That wasn’t a radical position, that was the NORM here in the 90s.

    I’m not saying that it’s gonna be quick or easy, but the world HAS to go back to encouraging such behavior towards Apartheid ethnostates rather than outlawing it, or we might not be worth saving after all…
