  • One of my earliest memories was being into Britney Spears. I was young, 10 or so. Dad was never home and I learned to like my own music on my own time without him, and I liked her music. My memory is that I was listening to it in the car, my CD of hers, and then I remember mom and dad arguing, and I don’t remember ever seeing that CD again.

    Its so funny to see all those guys, who called groups like Nsync and BSB “gay” back in middle school in the '90s, lose their fucking minds and start singing and dancing along when something like “Bye Bye Bye” comes on the jukebox at the bar.

    To be honest, I hated boy bands back then too but there’s definitely some nostalgia hearing them today.




  • I love Mullvad and used them for years, but without port forwarding, they’re not the service you want for torrenting. Some alternatives like AirVPN or ProtonVPN are better suited for that stuff.

    Before the haters jump in and tell me “it works fine fer me!” it’s only working because the user on the other end, like myself, have port forwarding set up. Since you don’t have it, you’ll never connect to anyone else like yourself nor will they be able to connect to you.

    Of course there are alternatives like streaming and Usenet but there are tradeoffs no matter what you pick.














  • I’m not sure why you’re worried about the connector since USB-C is mandated. Batteries will likely still be model specific since they’ll need to come in different shapes and sizes depending on the model and it’s internal hardware layout. I’m sure they’ll just use standard connectors on the battery itself since there’s little upside to engineering something special when the battery is already going to be specific to the phone.


  • I think instead of focusing on how to sell this product, we focus on the product itself because it’s impossible to sell something that Democrats keep pulling off the shelf as “defective.” Like any other item that people buy, committing to something only to have the “company” do a 180 and stop supporting it immediately after your “purchase” is just going to drive people away.

    Most Democrats only seem interested in pushing progressive policies right up until they get elected and then it’s always “not the right time” after the election.

    Edit: also the product would sell itself if they actually implemented them and improved people’s lives. It’s kind of hard to deny things that exist right in front of your face, but we never seem able to get to that point because corporations and genocidal “allies” always take precedence over the American people regardless of which of these two parties hold office.
