@MichaelSmicqfw @saveusculture There are laptops on the market that only have USB C. Manufacturers are certainly trying to get it to replace USB A.

We had a great USB form factor. Century-long standard tier design. It was called USB-A.
We needed a good miniature USB port, because USB-mini and USB-micro were terrible.
USB-C solved that problem.
AND THEN THEY REPLACED USB-A WITH IT LIKE ABSOLUTE RETARDS.

So do USB-c ports just...degrade? Work less well over time? Need more wiggling and jiggling?
English
@saveusculture I can not believe you actually have retards replying to you saying USB C is more mechanically reliable than USB A.
English
@mrs_kratos @vryafrika @AGDugin I'm not sure anyone who has read Calvin's Institutes could say this. There's absolutely a great amount of awe at God's power, mystery, love, and forgiveness.
English
@vryafrika @AGDugin Calvin put Calvin and his own intellectualism at the center, and removed the awesome power and mystery of Gods love and forgiveness available to all because he couldnโt comprehend it.
English
The main source of the decisive decline of the West is the Calvinism. The Anglican and Lutheran Churches as well as mystical tendency from Bohme to Quakers and anabaptists were somehow in the realm of Christianity (more or less). The real horror starts with Calvin.
English
@GarrettPetersen Because it's reversible the center 'post' is extremely easy to damage, rendering the port unusable. The cheap ones really suck, I've tossed 2 Aliexpress phones recently because I killed the ports.
I just want USB A. We keep making these mini connectors and they all suck.

@C_A_P_117 @jasonc_nc The 'mom-and-pop' stores you're describing don't exist. The best you'll get is a farm-stand or gas station with produce, which the DG actually complements instead of replaces.
Sometimes it's nice not to drive an hour for AA batteries and cough drops.
English
@jasonc_nc Literally no one who lives near one says this, especially anyone who knows any mom and pop shops in town.
They are parasites. They employ 3 people to sell us mass produced junk for 25% more than any other store, and run out of business mom and pops that employ dozens of people.
English
Dollar General discourse is funny to me because anyone who actually lives near one is like โman Iโm glad I donโt have to drive 25 minutes if I forget a couple basic thingsโ whereas the person who doesnโt even live there is like โthis is a pox upon rural Americansโ.

Dollar Generals are a parasite on small town America

@realbethelquote @AiPinfu2003 You would probably think it tastes fine. The part you will find the strangest is the texture -- similar to refried beans.
English
@AiPinfu2003 I think the idea of beans being sweet seems odd to many Americans, perhaps like peanut butter being salty to Japanese

@sofiartworks @_namori_fan_ @PedrinhHsa @AnxietatemPlena Based on what you shared here, you're either a woman in a same-sex relationship or (possibly also) a transvestite. I'm not Catholic, and won't speak authoritatively here, but I don't think the RC Church condones those things and I imagine it hopes you will go and sin no more.
English
@_namori_fan_ @PedrinhHsa @AnxietatemPlena What sin exactly. Did you hear my confessions when no one was looking?

My girlfriend had to educate me as to why only now, +50 years since Apollo 17, we are sending people to the moon again and honestly I'm getting a little emotional the more I think about this
NASA@NASA
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
English
@MentzerOcean @HMBohemond He gave us a command to steward his creation and spread across it. Exploring his creation is one of our explicitly created purposes.
English
@HMBohemond I wouldnโt say God is โagainst itโ, so much as He sees it as unnecessary for us. After all, exploring space doesnโt spread the gospel. Nor does us โconquering the starsโ glorify Him.

@RigTyrsson @Erik_Haile @haprho I think film will stick around for artistic purposes, but stuff like tape is barely holding on. Magnetic coatings are very complicated and sometimes trade secrets.
And there are some new tape players, but there only seems to be one Chinese mechanism still produced, and it's crap.
English
In fact, camera film and cassettes are on the shelf at Walgreens. The other things on Amazon are brand new. I checked, thinking that it would be NOS. But it's still in production, just at low volume apparently due to shrinking demand. The only thing I didn't find new were CRT televisions. There are many of those used on E-Bay and Etsy though, so you're right on that one.
English
Aww, poor flerfs โ flerfs say we lost the technology to go the moon.

@daisy6401496693 @RShmuleyGroyper @Tomoejp1236 As far as I understand, God is my ancestor and my Lord. He created me and adopted me so that I can live forever. My ultimate loyalty is to him and that is the honor that I am due to give him.

@GolerGkA @C_W_England @ExistentialEnso Yes. My entire frame of reference for pop-culture is the twentieth century.
I don't know if I'm a good reference though, I don't get out much.

@C_W_England @ExistentialEnso do zoomers say it as well?
bc as a millenial i 100% feel this. but that's just because im not doing young people things anymore and don't spend as much time absorbing new culture.
English
A brewing, underappreciated axis of the "culture wars" is people who were expecting "the long 90s/00s" versus people who want the sci-fi future, and it doesn't map cleanly to left versus right
English
@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook Nope, no way out. People argue about what it will be like to miss the people who didn't make it. People also argue about what it would be like to go there.
The Bible doesn't describe hell very much other than saying it's very unpleasant and that you can never leave.

@TheFarRightSide The New World was full of Indians who raped and murdered alongside a million deadly plants and animals.
God told us to go forth and multiply first, and then gave us the Great Commission later. He obviously put these things in front of us for us to explore, even if it's hard.
English
@veritechpilot Space is full of demons and poison, when it isn't an empty void. There's a reason we are physically unable to survive there.
English
@TheFarRightSide Not based, and you put this coal on the timeline. It is God's providence that we have the ability to explore space.
English
@l_i_n_d_z__ Based
English
@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook We think that once you go to hell, there's no way to get out, and that you'll experience it for eternity.
It's scary to think about going yourself, but at the same time we're told to love our neighbors too. It's scary to imagine them being stuck there!

@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook There are issues we get less bothered about, like how the Church should be organized and how priests or pastors should be dressed, or what days holidays should be on. We still think those are important but probably not sending people to hell. People still like to yell and argue.
English
@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook It isn't rude. We each have different views of the details of the contract. Some think you have to do certain rituals, some think you only have to believe in God, some a mixture and so on. That's when we can get quite angry, because we think getting it wrong means you go to hell.
