it’s funny because as an asian person i’ve never really run into this problem; if i ask for spicy i get spicy but i think the difference is we don’t really use it as a dick measuring contest like white people do (ours are all small anyway lol). some people like spicy some people don’t nobody cares what you order

it’s only when either white people are ordering or white people take my order it turns into this weird back and forth and then ultimately the white customer has to be convinced he is a really strong eater and got the “authentic” spice so he can brag about it and feel like a man and then post about it on reddit

it’s like vanity sizing on my pants i’m still wearing a 32 inch waist even 20 years after graduating high school now with a sizable dad bod

meanwhile i’m still so confused why there are so many memes about spicy foods changing your poop i mean sure my poop can change when eating corn or other veggies like beets but spicy vs nonspicy food never changed my poop/guts must be another white people thing. fascinating creatures, love you guys, but endlessly confusing

haven’t used linux in decades but used to use aptitude over apt-get

let’s take this offline can we have a sidebar 💀

unfortunately hours (not minutes) ages and number of days/months (not years) are still korean numbers not chinese

but i guess you can always just say the year of birth and spell out the date instead both of which would be chinese… haha languages are weird

the latter set is just the same chinese characters spelled out phonetically

i feel like most people nowadays are getting lazy and just using the chinese numbers more and more instead of learning a new word for each new ten (twenty thirty forty etc)

shouldn’t the circles overlap?

as a surgical specialist i am very not qualified to treat heart attacks (which other than chewing an aspirin and breathing oxygen requires a massive cath lab and an interventional cardiologist or a cardiac surgeon with a special OR including a cardiopulmonary bypass pump and a perfusionist; my current decent size hospital on the ground has neither of these) and barely more useful than a medical student at 99% of various medical problems a normal person may have. without a knife, anesthesia, and millions of dollars of equipment i’d just be asking chat gpt how to do breathing exercises with an elderly person having a panic attack

and for the rest of your life every job and license application require you to explain every lawsuit even if it ends up being settled etc

he does have that tobias kind of energy just a slightly different flavor, e.g., orange instead of blue/diamond

yeah well I still think OP is right

yes Roth is not free you pay taxes when you convert as income vs paying taxes later after you retire for traditional 401k typically most people take far less income in retirement so you tend to be in a lower bracket than your earning years so deferring tax makes sense but nobody can tell you for certain how much taxes will be in the future or how productive the markets will be so ultimately it’s all a guessing game

yes unfortunately i have searched far and wide for options to enable ctrl L and crtl T and shortcuts to cycle through tabs etc. really what I wanted was to put vim keybindings on firefox like vimperator or vimium but sadly none are supported for android builds. apparently even a few years ago there were options to downgrade to an older version that would allow for some partial buggy functionality with an extension but none worked for me

i am optimistic that there will be more support in the future as options like clicks and titan and minimalist phones become more popular but of course they are likely to remain niche communities. there are a lot of people who use their phones with a bluetooth keyboard on the go as phones become more powerful and laptops start using more power efficient architectures and the lines between phone tablet and computer become more blurred

ideally i would love to have a flagship level device with perhaps an even smaller form factor but better compatibility with apps and a sleeker keyboard built in and maybe even a matte e ink screen… one can dream

how do you like the titan pocket?

no but it’s pretty nice. i originally bought the razr because i wanted a smaller footprint overall. without any cases it is pretty small and light and i was very happy. the back pleather feels nice although it is fragile and in less than a year i am on my 3rd phone (i keep dropping it mostly but the hinge isn’t great either) so definitely get insurance. i have the 2024 model and at the time it had a much bigger and more usable front screen than the rival contemporaneous samsung flip. i use the front screen almost exclusively except for the rare app that needs a full vertical screen

with the clicks i have probably 20 or so shortcuts using keymapper so i don’t need to go to any menus and can open almost all apps without thinking or looking. if i want to open an app i don’t use as much i bound the gemini key using key mapper to anothe app called “app search” which lets me search and launch apps usually after typing only 2 or 3 letters, open webpages, or search google without having to open firefox (which i have bound to meta+f). the numpad is quite nice too and not having the virtual keyboard pop up makes the front screen even more usable.

i don’t type as fast as i did when i was swipng although after a few weeks there’s not too much of a difference. i might even be slightly ahead since fixing mistakes are usually one letter here or there vs retyping entire words (which for swiping tend to be longer more esoteric words). either way the app shortcuts and instant search are gamechangers and the tactile typing is mostly a nice bonus. i dont even have to switch apps anymore let alone use a launcher because i can instantly switch with my shortcuts. i did use to have a magnetic ring i stuck on the back of the phone but the built in mag ring is a nice touch too; too bad no wireless charging although i went back to wired charging anyway since wireless is slower less efficient and too hot degrading the battery faster. it is a little bulkier with the clicks and especially the magsafe wallet i attached but still viable and when folded still shorter than most other phones

can confirm this works on a razr with clicks i use it for esperanto all the time ñ ĉ é ŭ
