Until I got a phone without one, I used it all the time. But now I have fully switched to Bluetooth. The price pot me off a lot, but my tozo A3s are are both cheap enough and good enough that I am happy to have made the switch.

I always feel it's more of a tax on hope. I know a few folks who play and the understand the odds very well... but what if!

'What if' can be very appealing for only £2, even if it is incredibly, incredibly, (repeat incredibly a thousand more times) unlikely.

yeah, it was one of those movies that I think was ruined by the advertising. All the adverts at the time tried to make it seems like a star wars rip off, when it wasn't anything like star wars really.

Going out and actually meeting people, I generally like them. You find most of the time they're also just trying to get through their lives and managing the best they can. There is a lot more love than hate out there, if you just but look.

Dealing with people in politics or other identity based topics. I would say strong dislike. You find people will hear what they want to hear and try and make your opinions fit in a pre labelled box. Strong beliefs also cause folks to turn a blind eye to evils in their own group. I just wish people were devoted to making these groups worthy of their unyielding support. The world may be a far, far better place.

I try to apply that last paragraph to myself as much as I can. My only exception is sports. I feel that is a safe space to let my inner tribalism have some freedom. But outside of that, I try to be most critical of my institutions and ideologies. In hopes I don't become the person I hate.

Sorry, I went on a bit of a ramble there.

Here is an unrelated image of a normal human sitting in a chair. As you can tell the sunglasses do nothing, it is still clearly a human.

I assumed the same as you, but I feel I am going to show my ignorance. What about the user name changed your mind?

At a guess, I'd imagine it would be the no "false idol" thing.

One of my friends girlfriend does this on occasion. I recently discovered this to my horror.

It's just a meme that is used when someone stereotypes a group of people (not intending to offend), but the stereotype is is accurate.

basically "how dare you stereotype us, but also yes".

I mean, yeah...
