Same. People always assume I'm a smaller clothing size than I actually am because of this. A (new, Karen) colleague recently asked if I'm on Ozempic because of my face. Like no it's not Ozempic face, it's my face.

I think part of the issue is that there's a lot more predatory shit on the internet nowadays. I say this as a person who has had unfettered access to the internet since my tweens. Social media and The Algorithms have changed the internet, and not necessarily for the better.

Just as a for-instance, if you go to YouTube on a freshly installed browser without logging in, the front page is kind of wild. Then the algorithm will pull you down a rabbit hole and kids who haven't been taught that they're being manipulated are going to start taking everything as fact from people like Tate.

We didn't have things trying to get in our heads to this extent; while I do wish the kids had their freedom, I also recognise that the internet has become hell. I can understand why parents would try to shield their kids from that.

Fuck Nestlé

I adopted a stray recently. She has expressed zero interest in Outside ever since. She just wants love and cuddles. One less on the streets.

Glad to see I'm not the only one! Same phone, same OS, same issue here too.

They are indeed some spiteful ass cunts.

I live with such a person and you are correct. It really is their whole life. Said person put their hands on me and tried to shout the demons out of me because I disagreed with them.

Funnily enough, no demons were forthcoming.

Asexuality isn't a gender. We’re just not attracted to people of any gender. Our gender identity is separate.

Yes.

And check your local inheritance laws. Some places will take pre-death gifts into account depending on how long the time between gift and death is. The UK, as an example, looks at gifts made up to 7 years before a person's death. It's messed up.

She's the demon.

And this is why I refuse to take part in selfie culture. Shit's dangerous. When can we go back to the anonymous internet of yore?

Kitten snakes

Brave, Firefox Focus and Mull are decent options for mobile users.

Didn't know about Barclays! Thank you for educating me.

The only correct answer.

I loved it too until I forgot my wallet one day. It's the one thing I had to go back to stock Android for because I forget everything but my phone constantly.

I'm afraid not. You can have Google Wallet installed but you can't have bank cards on it on GrapheneOS.

Because they don't worship God. They worship Trump.

I have no doubt that some crazed conservative is out there shock-collaring their dogs or worse for "homosexual behaviour." They're absolutely deranged.
