One person's trash is... yummy 😋.

"very better"? Anyway...

It won't last. Right now it's new, but ultimately it will become an actual initiation ritual to knock it down, or perhaps a harder version to steal something out from under its nose. It doesn't know who you are if you wear a mask (or stay out of its line or sight) and don't carry something broadcasting your IP.

This looks like just security theater.

Meanwhile, aren't cameras cheap? If let's say hundreds of those were sprinkled around, maybe behind an opaque substance so you could also put up 10-100x more of them but 9/10ths being fake, and you swap them around occasionally, that might not be perfect either but could work better than a robot offering a nice, easy, fun target to play with, just like in video games. (Nobody ever enjoys video games these days though, do they?)

That was not my take at all. The unwritten part of her statement was "I am not, can not even, talk to you right now, bc I am so upset, but when I cool down, I am going to have SO MANY words to say to you!"

i.e. as night follows day and death follows life (and taxes follows birth:-), these words were always fated to be coming - but not yet, later... - until later came and then the torrent was released.:-)

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

That's good to know. One of my phones is a Samsung Galaxy S22 and I suspect something went on with that year - a phone shouldn't simply get hot in your hands merely while web browsing for a couple of minutes.

Every time my phone shuts off for running out of battery, it's due to Firefox for some stupid reason. Chrome is somehow worse though, just in different ways. Perhaps I should investigate other things like LibreWolf, but if it were clearly better than either, I think we all would have heard of that fact by now.

A choice to be? (If only it were that simple.)

Sorry, looks like that image cut off only halfway through the word, what it meant to say was...:

Either all is well... or it's wearing the ring of power and all hell is about to break loose!

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 5 points 20 hours ago

True... except she spake it, so...

Yes cause with his big strong hands he's definitely capable of that:-P.

I'm not sure why they chose the title that they did though.

I don't know how to link to it directly, but I mean the #5 entry in this imgur dump (the preview pic is wrong, it's showing the #1 entry, but you'll know the right one bc of the guy holding the hoop). Some of the others aren't bad either, but definitely check out the hoop one, I'm saying.:-)

 

(The title you see below mine is the wording chosen by the OP of the full post - I hope I do not cause offense, but I cannot control it showing up here as it is linked.)

Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

 

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

 

The result may surprise you: about 50/50, based on polls. These people relate their thoughts and experiences and explain why they feel as they do.

 

Honestly though, "get on board or STFU" is not a particularly compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker, nor is "meh, what are you going to do?"

All we want is for someone to keep it 💯 - the percentage, not the age.
