It’s similar to women who can’t leave their violent companion: they want to believe in something that does not exist, and will stretch their perception of reality to avoid admitting they’re wrong.

This analysis really fucking sucks lmao. Abuse also includes controlling access to structures of dependency (housing, food, money, social webs, children), so a lot of time in the immediate term and often long term it is a MUCH better value proposition to stay with abusers in the hope that they change.

Idk this is so victim blamey and misunderstanding.

wait, hold up. this looks like an access device. i think someone maybe wouldn’t do this unless someone needed it for tremors, muscle control related disabilities, etc.

the iTunes Store app on your iPhone should let you buy ringtones! in the … /More menu at the bottom, then “Tones”.

edit: good god the selection there is bottom of the barrel. good luck!

Most people don’t have time to fritter on new tech, alt clients, etc. Honestly they’re not stupid and I resent the implication–Reddit’s just predatory. If we want an alternative to flourish, we gotta stop treating it like its a “smart people club” and being elitist about it

That is NOT what I said. I’m not going to criticize people leaving, and I think it’s the best option GIVEN an option. It’s a very exclusive strategy that I don’t want to be endorsing. Obviously electoral politics are broken. Maybe we can use our imagination tho

yay!!!

the most sustainable smartphone is the one that you already have

The only way the red states will change is by getting worse and worse. They will have no doctors, teachers, nurses, lawyers, or corporations that will purposefully live or do their work there if they can help it. If you are a woman, a person of color, a migrant, an LGBTQ person, a child, or anything other than an old white man, the red states are no longer safe for you.

ah so if you’re poor, taking care of loved ones, or otherwise unable to move, then your life is acceptable collateral damage? accelerationism has victims.

:0… okay i can def try that, yea!!!

I agree about the soft language they use and plastics are a BROAD category of materials… but yeah, I like to be cautious around exposing them to heat and using them for long term liquid storage.

i super agree, french press or moka is my target, i just miss the flavor the pressure creates. i’ll figure it out one day!

i think the tritan plastic they’re using in the new models will be interesting, def seems less porous and likely to hang onto bad flavors x_x

not the best article out there but here’s one that covers it: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/18/are-plastic-containers-safe-to-use-food-experts

it’s strong enough to, but i don’t trust plastic not to leach out nasties into my coffee in those conditions, plus it seems to retain grossness :(

omg. you just made my whole week 🥰😭

i love mine but i want to ditch pressure+heat in plastic. wondering if moka is the way to go, but really just wish they made aeropress with other materials!

i only say this because i don’t think it’s well documented, members only seem to get 1 invite per week iirc, so this is likely a big ask. good luck getting on there. OP!
