For my regular headphones, not much. I can use the buttons on them to cycle through sound modes (no modification, sound canceling, and external mics) as well as the normal things like switch volumes, tracks etc.

Once I got the update, I deleted the app and got an older one. If they make it mandatory somehow, I’ll just not use the app and get different brand headphones when these break.

I use apkmirror to get old versions of apps

it was a guarantee to:

respect Ukraine’s territory (which Russia vialoted, the US didn’t)

bring any violations to the UN security council (which was done, but with Russia having veto power, useless)

Most people I speak to have the impression that any attack on Ukraine meant the US would jump into full scale war mode to defend them. Honestly I wish it were. At least then it would have been harder for the Biden administration to essentially ignore.

“here’s a bunch of old equipment, good luck buddy” was technically more than required, but grossly inadequate.

As an American in my 30s…

Just don’t trust anything the US says, period.

Who knows if our 4-year mood/tantrum cycle will honor the deal in 15 years, let alone 5.

Anker?

I noticed their soundcore app did that last time I connected to wifi and it auto-updated… Inimmediately went looking for an old apk.

I really don’t like ice. It’s cold, slippery and wet.

And it gets everywhere.

Just like the shitty US fascist police…

For the same reason that half the MAGAts in government that we have crimes + named suspects with mountains of evidence, and still no trial.

The same reason donld Trump incited a crowd of people, on camera, to go try and overthrow the government on a cold January morning 6 years ago, and despite people dying and people being murdered in the attempt, the person we have on camera starting it is now the goddamn president instead of in a cell or pine box.

We have no justice system. It only ever existed for whichever out group is being targeted. The rich and influential don’t exist in those groups and instead of trying to hide that like they used to, nowadays they just openly flaunt it.

Must’ve been the wind.

Even if I did, too late you greedy bigots.

Account less than a month old and posting uplifting news, while being salty about said news in the comments.

I smell astroturf.

American here, most have no idea that Canada has a prime minister and not president, and JT was the last name most of us heard in relation to the Canadian government.

I doubt very much Trump knows who the current PM is, so I could absolutely see him demanding the capture of “president Trudeau”

This is the shit you would read on /b/ at 2am on a Thursday in 2007 while two users have what they think is a “deep” conversation in the middle of one-handed browsing.

🤮 What a fucking terrible day for eyes.

Still every day I hear “it’s not all black and white we can’t act rashly” shut the fuck up cletus you’re just a brain-dead tongue happily licking the shit off MAGAs boot.

Hmm I was gonna bring my safety glasses to do science, but I don’t have a poster telling me if I should or not.

If only there were some form of vaguely threatening poster and woman named Carol to better instruct people!

As everyone should.

Nobody should ever be looking at the 2nd Ammendment and think to themselves “oh god I just can’t wait, please lemme do it now”

It should always be “please don’t make me do this”, while preparing to do this.

Regular Transporters don’t work like that. The flux matrix compensates for any discrepancies in the patterns pre- vs post-buffer.

I suppose if you built a new transporter type from the ground up instead of using these old starfleet or klingon modules, you could bypass the Bopple Corbulator entirely and the pattern buffer would accept the new parameters.

But who has time for that…

I read this as “maximum breast gains” and while I can sympathize with wanting more in the breast department, it seems like a long way to go to gain a few cup sizes.

I my experience, the oldest child is forced to mature faster by being required to perform childcare duties, especially in families with many children.

Younger siblings basically “get to be a kid” longer than older ones.

This is unfair to both older and younger siblings for a myriad of reasons, but both are a failure of parenting, and society as a whole. The parents should not be forcing the dynamic, and society should not be putting parents in a position where they feel they have to.

As for “feeling immature” as an adult… That is entirely dependent on what you measure maturity by. My wife and I sing nonsense tunes at each other, sometimes just look up and go “QUACK!” for no reason. We have gone to a playground to go swinging. We have gone outside to play in the snow.

I didn’t get my first job without my mother’s help until 20. I didn’t get my license until 26. I didn’t get my first full time job until 33. I absolutely hate going to a store at all, let alone by myself. Although if I’m being honest I would rather go by myself since it’s faster and less chance of my wife grabbing 10 extra things because we passed the aisle and she went something snack-y.

Remember, “Autism Spectrum Disorder” is, as the name implies, a spectrum. As such everyone is on it. Most people are gathered in a general area area (the people who would be considered “normal” by someone who has a more traditional old way of thinking) I personally believe I’m a little further toward the “autism” side, based on a bunch of comparing my personal experience with others who are diagnosed. I don’t believe it’s that big a deal for me, as I am fully capable of functioning on my own as an adult.

A bit of armchair psychology, I’d wager you’re a bit like my wife and due to narcissistic and withholding parents you likely need more reassurance than the average person. This isn’t a failure on your part at all, and it’s not a “developmental disability” it’s just a bit of childhood trauma.

To answer more directly:

In my opinion, yes eldest siblings often mature faster. Feeling immature is probably normal, and maturity is a pretty vague notion in general. ASD in general isn’t as big a deal as many people think. If you’ll forgive me for saying so, your family kind of sucks.

“but whatabout…”

It’s a goal if you’re so fucking disgustingly rich you can buy a private island and haven’t seen the poors since your office was close enough to them you could faintly make out a small dot.

Because you’ll have enough wealth to survive the shit storm, and then there’s nothing those dirty plebians can do to stop you from basically deciding how things run from now on in your little corner.

I’m making an assumption here that you aren’t disgustingly rich and therefore the thought of “fuck 8 billion other people if I get mine” didn’t come naturally to you.
