People who enjoy things I don't enjoy are literally cancer upon the Earth and need to be sterilized.

There, I said it.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

People who don't enjoy things that I enjoy are goblins and should be viciously mocked for their goblinny ways.

If you build a vehicle with legs/treads but only one wheel, it's still technically a unicycle

If you interpret it one way, 'you do you' means 'go fuck yourself.'

Boats have one wheel, for steering with.

Boats are unicycles.

I tend to compare my previous phone to an S5. Benchmark-wise, they're pretty similar. When I was flashing custom ROMs onto that thing in an attempt to redeem it (akin to turd-polishing, now that I think of it), there was this "Bluetooth fix" that I had to flash onto it to regain Bluetooth functionality. To quote the text you'd get while doing so:
Code: [Select]
****************************************
*       Fix created by [REDACTED]      *
*   Only for Galaxy S5 (all variants)  *

****************************************
What. The best part, though, was that it worked. I wasn't expecting this level of compatibility between two phones, especially when their hardware is entirely different.
I'm pretty sure Samsung discontinued the entire line that my previous phone belongs to... at least not before rolling out One UI (AKA the third incarnation of TouchWiz, based on Android 9) to everything in said product line, apparently.

This is all a really long-winded way to explain the following statement:
I want someone to port One UI to the Samsung Galaxy S5 for shits and giggles.

Also: "flashing a package" sounds really lewd, taken out of context.

Psychedelics are probably one of the biggest reasons for people buying funky lampshades.

I've long understood that it's pretty rough being a woman and having to walk anywhere alone, especially at night, but for some reason just recently it's really hit home to me how fucked up it would be. I dunno, it's like social anxiety - but amplified ten times and backed by real, non-exaggerated danger.   
Read an article the other night (whilst really drunk and high which I am sure boosted my understanding of her words) by a woman about her fears and struggles with walking anywhere in the evenings. That's the sort of shit that makes you want to run out on the street and act like some kinda lame superhero - but nobody can really do that, no-one can be everywhere at once.
Maybe if you organised your local population to form groups to patrol the neighbourhood, keeping an eye out (much like Melbourne's PSOs do in small areas) and trying to keep this sort of thing from happening, but really it hurts just as much to read of a rape and/or murder occurring whether it took place next door or the next state over.     

I suppose every city could form its own li'l militia to wander around forestalling such crimes, but... I dunno, I'm pretty baked. *shrug*

It occurred to me today that the old practice of governments selling sinecures isn't very different from the modern system of public finance through government securities (besides the obvious difference in ostentation and the security's lifespan). To modern eyes one seems obviously corrupt, while the other is viewed as being essentially a beneficial public service. This isn't a serious comment on policy, I just think it's funny.

"Cockpit" is just another word for "dickhole".

Let's come up with amusing MAGA alternatives!
"Make Ireland Craic Again" springs to mind.
