  • Oooo ByGorou u got f’d uuuup!!

    No, but unseriously, why shame people for being complacent? Maybe semi-seriously; like, 35% seriously, at best.

    Edit: And maybe more seriously but still mostly casually uncaring, you never know what lives other people leave. Also, a campus shuttle is actually amazing if you think about it. Personally, I’d rather be able to do a nice busride to class, but I’m well aware that I can’t waste valuable sleep time with that. And, risk being stinky around other people? No thanks. Also, having to deal with upkeep, storage, and security of a bike? Blegh. It would be cool though to live in a culture that both had the bikes and infrastructure, and didn’t have the thievery.

    Also, you gotta remember, a lot of the US is very far apart and is so imbued with car culture and infrastructure. Plus, we, like the rest of humans, just can’t deal with our problems, and just had another major setback existential challenge.






  • I just enabled (Android on Samsung phone) talk back while in bed late at night with sleeping partner.

    Warning, lol:

    Enabling this will change your phone’s input IMMEDIATELY and it will start making a LOT of sound that you cannot mute entirely.

    You select sections by tapping on them and the system will read them out to you, but to actually press them, you double tap the screen elsewhere. It will literally say double tap to activate, but I immediately turned my volume down as low as it could go and couldn’t hear it and started getting scared/frustrated that the entire input method of my phone changed and was out of control. I couldn’t even unlock my phone normally, and luckily had my face recognition enabled and screen bright enough to illuminate my face.

    So yeah, turning on the feature was a face first adventure. I’ll mess with it later because it seems cool, but…lol be aware.
