Tesseraction posted:Oh you mean the way the fairphone is modular so you can ship of Theseus it as it breaks? Well my current phone is old enough that when I drop it it 1. doesn't break and 2. the back falls off and the battery pops out. Which I gather is something of a novelty for a modern smartphone and I tend to use items until they become unusable. It would be fine it's just it has about 10 megabytes of storage free at any one time and while it is allegedly a smartphone it cannot run any apps without crashing except whatsapp some of the time, so I am considering an upgrade.

Which I gather is something of a novelty for a modern smartphone and I tend to use items until they become unusable. That's why I have to get a new smartphone despite it having 16GB internal memory (500-600MB free) and a 32GB microSSD in it. Fed up of having to juggle the apps : uninstalling to get updates then reinstalling etc. It's android so it's stuffed full of Google bloatwear. I've had it 5 years. I expect something costing approx £100 to last longer than that. I did the whole of my PhD that consisted of analysing literally millions of spacecraft data records on 3GB machine. Now I can't even run Messenger and have to use Messenger Lite, and run facebook via the browser using the really cut down version of facebook. Meanwhile in weird 'verification email' from yahoo chat due to me apparently sitting in Mexico and trying to sign in: Is it safe to look up email addresses on one of these 'have you been pwned' sites? I was just googling about and someone commented that a dodgy person might ask for a verification code hoping it will go to a secondary email address that has been pwned so I wanted to check it out. But I bow to the greater knowledge ITT and thought I'd ask if it is safe to look that up!

My main phone is a Pay As You Go Sony Xperia J from 2012. It won't even load the google store now, is constantly 'running low on space' with nothing installed apart from the os and updates. Thinking of an upgrade for Diablo Immortal.

Be interesting to see what happens with my current phone, my old one was 32gb and constantly having performance issues related mainly to space, but now I have a 128gb Pixel that has run as smooth as butter since day one, and I can't imagine what reason I could possibly have to replace it, unless I break it.

She's upstairs talking to Internet friends while I drink in the conservatory. And no she rocks. But she felt the need to come down and tell me off about OwlFancier and "the brits" plus something about microwaving nappies from one of the horrifying pyf threads. I made her another Singapore sling and sent her on her way.

The thing that gets me about the milk alien photo is the weirdly body-hugging top on the woman that makes this become so obviously horny. Like, the shot is impossible to be candid because, well, the alien, but then getting that definition on the boobs just shows where the priority lay. *coughs* OwlFancier posted:Well my current phone is old enough that when I drop it it 1. doesn't break and 2. the back falls off and the battery pops out. Which I gather is something of a novelty for a modern smartphone and I tend to use items until they become unusable. I genuinely loved my 00s experience of Nokia dumbphones as mobile internet came about and later the dumbphones that could play mp3s so I could ditch the discman (editor's note: I was never rich enough for my own discman and use it only as a reference) and listen to my own, extremely cringe, music on the way to/from school.

Just checked one of my email accounts - not the yahoo one - and there have been f*k knows how many unsuccessful signin attempts from Pittsburgh, Chicago, Seychelles, Vietnam, and even London. I'm guessing they're faked locations using proxies. A site I used a couple of years ago had a data breach last March. I think I better have a 'check all my accounts activity' project for the next few days. (I have many email accounts!)

If police in certain other countries were behaving like this, we'd be joining the US in bringing 'mocracy at the point of a heavily-armed drone. It's so horrible. I haven't been on FB for a week because I know that a lot of the people I know in real life who trust the BBC and MSM will be saying the protestors deserve it, the cops are wonderful and sharing that list of cops killed or injured in the line of duty which has been mentioned ITT and includes plenty of self-injuries.

Like, the shot is impossible to be candid because, well, the alien, but then getting that definition on the boobs just shows where the priority lay. Those photos are from a series called Understanding Joshua by Charlie White: quote:White said he “conceptualized” Joshua “as a literal manifestation of ontological insecurity.” How viewers then respond to this alien, even grotesque figure and the situations he is placed in by White challenges the viewers’ empathy and reflects their own insecurities. Audiences have been engaged and repelled, even angered, by this work. Nearly life-size, and hung at eye level, the pictorial space of the image merges with that of the viewer in the gallery. White carefully positioned the arm of one of the abusive men across the front of the group, creating a kind of barrier preventing the viewer from entering and interceding. According to White, the ongoing torment of a shower of milk was meant to suggest impending and escalating violence rather than the completed action of a physical blow. This creates a tension and an impossible desire to intercede that is more powerful than if he had shown the aftermath of a violent act, which would leave the viewer as a voyeur rather than a participant observer. It's definitely intentionally horny but it's from a place of examining male feelings of alienation and inadequacy. I suggest you look up the other photos cause they're cool and interesting. Just google "Understanding Joshua".
