Yepperoni, thanks for putting this so succinctly.

What would you say to a person who refuses to acknowledge or take into consideration the belief of a religious individual?

I don't hold belief against people so long as they act appropriately toward others.

I have some positive and negative opinions toward particular religions based on their foundations and practices.

I kinda long for a sense of spiritual community, but I can't make myself have faith in something I don't believe, no matter how nice it seems. So that kinda sucks

Simple question: Are you a nice person? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I am very nice. I could probably be kinder, but I think if I was I'd be letting myself get walked on and stuff, so I don't think it's all that good to be too polite.

How does it feel being in a relationship? in c/[email protected]

Being in a relationship gives me a sense confidence in myself.

If you do not hear these people out, you are denying yourself the chance for a better life. By refusing to believe you are capable of what you want, you are making it impossible for you to achieve your goals. Because you won't try.

Good luck ❤️

That's a pretty good way of putting it

Did you intend this to be relevant?

Scientific evidence is through experiments using the scientific method, which tries to eliminate bias. The wikipedia article provides both adequate and inadequate experiments. You are biased and you're "testing" in uncontrolled environments. You could hardly call it evidence.

You are cherry picking and only acknowledging information that supports telepathy. You are ignoring the evidence against it, which takes majority. Why?

Your criticisms are reasonable ones.

The scientific method aims to refine theories based on new and best available evidence. There isn't compelling scientific evidence supporting telepathy, but the fallibility of human vision is extensively documented. So how come you think it's 50/50?

Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons (lemy.lol)
 

Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I'm struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I'm looking for paw patrol and it's scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this stuff.

I see plenty of streaming resources. I guess if it comes down to it I can record it? I don't know the best way to do that, certainly doesn't seem ideal..

I'll update my post to reflect my levels of success :)

I'm having a tough time choosing my next android smartphone, any ideas? (lemy.lol)

I am picky about the features I look for in a smartphone. Hopefully this post can be a good resource for myself and others who have similar preferences. For reference, I am using a Oneplus 7 Pro with a non-functional camera and flashlight.

Very important features

Battery life

It should handle a day's worth of general usage before charging. Heat kills batteries, so decent heat dissipation is important too.

Durability or repairability

I recently bought a Google Pixel 5a, a phone I greatly enjoyed before I dropped it 5 feet and the display decided its work was done. My top priority is to have a useable device for ~5 years before needing an upgrade.

Storage

I like storing my music collection (30 GB and growing) and expandable storage would save me from having to carry a DAP (mp3 player). Without expandable storage it should have 256 GB storage.

Price

Electronics aren't meant to last a long time; I'd prefer devices costing ~300 USD, but I would gladly pay a little more for reliability.

Microphone

Please let me be intelligible on phone calls. Please? Pretty please?

Software updates or custom ROM support

OS updates for 3+ years or resources on XDA for flashing a custom ROM. Ideally LineageOS.

Would be nice

Root capability

It's a bit dated nowadays, but I really do appreciate having that extra bit of control. This also ties into custom ROM support.

Fingerprint Sensor

I loved the dedicated fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 5a. Power button fingerprints are worse, but better than nothing. Typing in my passcode every time is a bit of a pain.

Speakers

Preferably dual front facing stereo speakers. Having some decent output for videos when I don't have anything else with me would be nice.

OLED/AMOLED display

Makes stuff WAY easier to see when the sun's all sunny.

Processing power

I don't play phone games. I watch a lot of media and I message people. Must be capable of simultaneously running muliple apps and background services.

IPA ratings

It'd be pretty sick if I could bring it with me in the shower without worrying about water damage.

Fast charging

Won't always use it, but it'd be great to have.

Cutting corners

Screen resolution

I don't need a 4K display. Hell, I don't need a 1080p display. If it cuts costs, 720p is just fine so long as it looks okay.

Size

It can be big or small, thick or thin. Not picky.

Other features I don't need

Headphone jack, NFC, 5G, wireless charging

The phones I am looking at right now are as follows

  • Sony Xperia 10 V - No custom ROM support, long term durability is unclear.
  • Fairphone 4 - Slightly out of price range.
  • Samsung Galaxy XCover6 Pro - Way out of price range. I would appreciate any input or questions.

EDIT: As of 4/13/24, I decided to pick up a Samsung S20 FE. It's been treating me well, and for the low low price of $280 NEW, I'm very pleased with what I got. My complaint is that the vibrate is seriously weak. Use it on sound mode if you don't want to constantly miss notifications.
