Please elaborate on how having an address oppresses women.

I do. Regardless of the government, I want better for humanity worldwide, full stop.

So sad, that's how my best friend in high school died. The only way to stop it is by sending the invite to 5 other people

I feel like this needs an asterix. The last president* who began his presidency as a president, had the powers of a dictator, but refused to use those powers because of morals.

While he could have used those powers to aggressively reshape the nation back to the original framework envisioned by the founding fathers, instead he followed tradition and what was expected. As such, the next "leader" of the United States embraced these powers, led a bloody siege to his opponents, and thus began the beginning to the end of what was once called the United States of America. Father Trump, as he demanded to be called, partnered with Russia and North Korea, in effect beginning WWIII. The American people were "shocked"

Edit: weird that Android phones auto correct WWIII to WWII? Or is that just my phone for some reason? It doesn't matter. We're fucked

It doesn't matter. He cannot be found criminally liable now. The law does not apply to him. Fuck SCOTUS

As much as I love my android phone, I have to admit Apple takes privacy and security much more seriously.

Wow, the film makers Heineman and McNally are total pieces of shit. They were warned several times that people would be killed if they didn't blur their faces. Heineman and McNally said it would be fine, then said no one ever warned them, then said it's normal to show faces, then said it's really the governments fault, not theirs.

Heineman and McNally are responsible for this person's death, and are too cowardly to admit it.

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

I'm a fan of this. It's better to offer content with context and education than to fully censor it.

For context I'm in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they've increased in quantity by 150%. It's also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an hour long. What the actual fuck, why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point? It's literally unwatchable

Edit: the amount of unsolicited advice in the comments is unreal. I don't get ads on my phone or on desktop, I'm very aware of how to block them. I simply won't watch YouTube on my PlayStation anymore. I'm not looking for suggestions, please stop with the recommendations.

He pleaded guilty to three counts of criminal solicitation of a minor on Monday. The remaining 32 charges were dismissed as part of a plea deal, according to a spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office.

Criminal solicitation of a minor carries a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison for each count. First-degree attempted sexual exploitation of a minor carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison for each count.

What a nice judge. Don't forget to vote everyone.

I don't feel comfortable with them essentially operating a monopoly that both consumers and artists detest. I don't feel comfortable with paying exorbitant meaningless fees if I ever want to experience a live event. It's never mattered what I'm comfortable with, I've always gotten fucked. I don't care how uncomfortable they are, I hope they get absolutely destroyed by legal fees and go bankrupt.

I don't have many people to celebrate with. Part of getting older is celebrating alone, which is sobering and a change of perception. If you're reading this, I hope you're safe. I hope you're with family that loves you, I got you have a friend.

The world seems dark, but it truly is safer than ever. Don't give into the media my friend. We're truly in a golden age of information sharing, which makes life terrifying but lucid and evolving.

Has anyone else noticed that the Google Play store reviews are suspicious?

Like, you find a scam company or app, and every review you scroll through is 1 star. And yet the reviews claim 95%+ are positive.

Is there a way to prove it? I've noticed it for 3 years now, I no longer think it's a coincidence. Something scummy or scammy is going on

Lately I've seen some... Questionable ads, to say the least. Is there no way to report these ads on sync?

If there is, am I just dumb and blind? Or is it easier than it seems?

It feels like early Reddit all over again to me, hopefully I'm wrong

For context, Android user, been here a few months, and I opt out of everything that's easy/simple/apparent to opt out of
