2. Nice handle length and it’s small enough to fit into most containers of anything I’m likely to need a spoon for

Love that for him

God had no hand in my continuing to live, if anything I do it in defiance of His will

Good to know. As far as I know the only difference between a regular memory card and the Memcard Pro is the SD card it all ultimately gets saved to, so hopefully it will just be as simple as copying the save to and fro

I already own an Xbox, there’s no earthly way that buying an old anything would be cheaper than paying the small developer mode activation charge for the console I already have (bought second hand a few years ago from a friend who had used it 3 times)

I’m in full agreement there, but at least it’s a small one-off payment to just use it the way I want to rather than playing cat-and-mouse with hacks and software updates

If there’s a way to activate dev mode without paying them I don’t know about it

I mean, I’ll give them some money to activate developer mode so I can install emulators on my Xbox. I don’t need emulators on my Xbox but it’s gonna sit there doing nothing otherwise because I’m not paying for Gamepass

Every time I think this world can’t become more of an idiotic hellscape something like this comes along

The kids are alright

If everyone stopped using it they’d be forced to act, unfortunately too many people think exactly the same way, “but the stuff I like is there too!”

Yeah, keep contributing to their algorithm, that’ll really show them! “Stop using YouTube” is the only way to do anything about it, and people won’t

The fact that you recognise it would be a struggle should honestly spur you on even more to do it. People got by for a long time without the Internet and even though now the same infrastructure they’d have used is at best a shell of its former self if not gone entirely it would still be possible. We don’t have to stop entirely but if a bunch of sites suddenly find their traffic is way down they’d start to put pressure on about getting rid of ID checks and we might finally see some movement

I get all the theory and everything, I understand the some grifter comes along peddling easy answers and people fall into it. But the Temu version of Trump that is Nigel Farage has such a vibe about him that he’d pick your pocket and then deny it right to your face - while holding your wallet in his hand - that I genuinely don’t understand how people trust him even slightly

Same. I know there are easy ways around it but I’m not going to use them, and I wish more people could take this attitude - if everyone cut down their Internet usage in response to this ID stuff things would quickly start to turn around

What people see in Temu Trump and Co I genuinely just will never understand

I would watch the shit out of a movie about a time traveling T. Rex with force lightning powers

More of a Pepsi person myself

And then the right followed us and we ceded that to them too. We have a long, horrible uphill struggle before us

It’s certainly a tricky one, I feel like a lot of us have some trauma still from covid anyway, and the world is just acting like it has gone away. At least in the real world there are spaces outside that can’t be controlled that easily. I feel you on the meetup groups too, I’d love some local queer friends but I don’t know where the local queer people are meeting up. But the Internet is becoming the ultimate hostile space very quickly and sadly we need to either accept it or try and pull away now before it’s too late
