Destin at Smarter Every Day and Steven Mould seem like solid guys, and content similar to Tom Scott if you haven’t seen them.

It’s pretty easy to strip most of it off. It’s definitely an adjustment, but I got used to it (the remaining things I couldn’t change) pretty quickly
I held on to mine for so long, but after they stopped getting updates, I bailed since the S22 wasn’t massively larger.
It’s 5.75" tall, so no. It’s as big as I want to go. I’d love something a bit smaller to be sure
You can still lock down privacy stuff to a fair degree. I’m keeping an eye on it
Galaxy S22 with Nova launcher getting rid of the Samsung UI and making it note pixel-like.
Pixel phones have been too big for me for a while. They won’t fit in my pockets comfortably and I don’t want to have to stretch to reach the top of the screen. Come out with something 5.75" tall or less and I’ll re-engage.
The MPAA rating system didn’t start widespread use until the early 1970s, and even then (as you’d expect since since it is the MPA"A") only in the USA. Other rating systems in other countries followed later (for the most part).
So any movie prior to that would have been unrated when it came out. Especially if it was a non-USA production.
Any rating you see on a movie older than that has been applied after the fact.
Does “Jaws” count? It wouldn’t be PG these days but I’d say it counts as horror.
“The Birds” was technically unrated when it came out. I’ve seen it rated as PG-13 now, but not sure what that’s based on since it is from way before PG-13.
Most of the people you’re thinking about as a problem haven’t read the Bible either. They’d think the stuff Jesus said was commie, bleeding-heart, socialist stuff (because it is)
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.
Or my favorite variation: You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t wipe your friends on the underside of the car seat.
That’s the great part about Lemmy - just switch instances or roll your own. No need to complain about heavy handed mods!
From what I can see in your post history, you haven’t commented on a single one. I think I know at least part of why they’re dead. Maybe that’s a Lemmy account thing where I can’t see it though.
But I can’t say that I have gotten a few responses when I’ve been posting. Not always live during a game, but the beginnings are there, considering it’s still preseason.
Sitting on the floor and building whatever I wanted with the, maybe 800, Lego bricks I had.
They’d still be appalled and try to stop him given their strong moral code. And given that they’d be at full strength they’d probably find a way to stop him and reverse things faster than they did in OTL
I can’t think of an Avenger or even sidekick who I would put in the bottom 50% of the earth’s population. Even the dumbest are probably in the top 10-15%.
Edit: I didn’t really think of GotG as “Avengers”, but yeah, Drax and Mantis are probably gone, unless they’re somehow smart for their species. Or unless emotional intelligence is enough to save Mantis. I don’t know if we ever find out enough about Groot to know, but I’d assume he’s in the top of his species. I still think everyone else survives (Hulk survives via Banner, or at least Banner survives).
It’s been done before (though not intentionally at first), at the Salton Sea.
And the results weren’t that bad (granted possibly a smaller scale than some are imagining when they forecast doom).

But the problem is any deserts are deserts for a reason: lack of rainfall and/or natural inflow from rainwater upstream. The result is that you have to keep pumping in tons of water and/or rely on agricultural runoff which is nutrient-depleted and usually full of chemicals.
Read the rest of the linked article for what’s going on with that one.
Plastic fibers would be covered under microplastic concerns, and organic fibers (cotton, wool, etc) are easily broken down and don’t stick around in your system.
Plastics don’t ever go away. They hang around, and we’re discovering they hang around in our bodies too. Organic fiber stuff can be easily broken down or passed through your body.
Find people to talk to. If you can multitask taking to them while doing something, do it. But if you can give a good conversation some dedicated time it helps.
There’s ‘serious’ talk like a therapist, but even just basic ‘whatever’ talking with friends and acquaintances helps me get out of my own head.
Rhapsody back in the day beat that. You could use All Music Guide info to build amazing custom playlists. Custom options like “Music featuring electric guitar with no vocals made between 1950-1957 with a tempo between 90-120” and it would shoot out a whole playlist
