It seems that the motherboard is dead, and that it’s a common issue with the 5a and I “should’ve known better,” despite it being impossible to find decent information on phones these days....
I absolutely despise it when people say “should have known better” when companies mess up. Not everyone is going to spend weeks researching obscure information before buying a phone.
We know devils reincarnate after they die. I was thinking that maybe the new Blood Devil would not recognise Denji at first, but Nyāko would trigger these memories… No idea if Nyāko is alive though....
Noticed that. It used to be easy to bypass, because old.reddit.com allowed me to go there with a VPN, but they recently patched it. I found that changing the user agent to make it look like you’re on Chrome and Windows, alongside with US/Canada VPNs tend to get around this, but it isn’t very reliable.
Stealth used to work for a while, but not anymore either.
They are doing it to stop scrappers scrapers and punishing people who use a VPN is just a bonus to them.

Oh that’s such a delicious irony… Also, letting a guy who was convicted of felony forgery become vice president of the republican party is so fitting for the party of election frauds.
With that said, I do think that prisoners should be allowed to vote as they are still citizens, even while in prison, let alone during their probation.
Claim they want to improve their citizen’s safety, but do everything in their power to make enemies at every turn. Real smart of them. How can none of these morons in their government think “let’s not antagonise everyone around us”? Any 10 year old is smart enough to do better.
Wait, why are they banning IVF? I thought their primary goal was to get as many women to give birth and all that jazz… wouldn’t IVF be something forced-birth supporters want?
This hit me like a week ago. I straight up panicked. I still kinda am. I don’t know what to do. I’m fucking terrified. How do you learn how to be a girl in your forties? I don’t even know how to do makeup, every time I tried it looked like shit....
At least now you know what has been eating you for so long. Like Morpheus said to Neo in the movie The Matrix:
Neo: I can’t go back, can I? Morpheus: No. But if you could, would you really want to?
You can’t unlearn it, it would only hurt you more trying to pretend like nothing has changed. I hope the people in your life will support you through this.
She threatened legal action against a guy who made a website that tracks her private jets’ flights using publicly available information and the internet doesn’t like it.
A few days ago I shared some news that the Eurovision song from Israel would be named “Your land is mine now” to later realize it was from an onion kind of website, lol....
I got reverse onioned a little while ago. There was an article about a kids version of the AR-15 called the JR-15, and it was so ludicrous and I didn’t know that website, I thought it was a satirical article for a while… Weeks later I mentioned it as a joke, but my brother said it was real and I checked and saw he was right.
As someone who kept up with the story from day one, I despise this man for what he did in his depraved mental state, and think he should be imprisoned for a long time to keep society safe from him. But at the same time I am against the death penalty no matter the crime, as I don’t believe the state should have the legal right right to execute anyone once they are not an immediate threat.
CPR. You may not think about it in your day to day life, but in an emergency it’s a very low hanging fruit to save someone’s life. If someone is not breathing, chest compressions baby… go to town.
Vasectomy. Before I got my vasectomy, I had a lot of anxiety that the condom might fail and an unwanted pregnancy would occur. That’s not to say vasectomies can’t fail, they can, even years afterwards, recanalization can happen so I get tested every year.
Annual failure rate of condom (average use) is 18%, and with perfect use it’s 2%. This means that over a span of 20 years, even with perfect use, there is a 33% chance for a pregnancy which is too high for me. A vasectomy with annual testing of sperm count is as close to zero as possible.
Holy crap this episode was insane. I have read the manga, so the story didn’t surprise me, but I think they managed to take everything I loved about these fights and push it beyond every expectation I had (and I had high expectations for this episode).
Edit: After the shitshow that was Linus’ response, and later their apology video, I was skeptical of their sincerity. Followed by Madison’s horrible experiences and treatment at LMG, and I am done with LMG for good.
Trying to get people to change problematic behaviour, language, or opinion through yelling, or shaming is ineffective most of the time. Obviously I can’t expect people who belong to minorities to not be angry, not everyone can be Daryl Davis, but if you are white and don’t have a personal trauma, you should use more effective methods to correct people’s problematic behaviour.
Source: I was able to get my family to stop using the N word, and even my elderly father who doesn’t actually remember that it’s bad to use the N word has stopped using it thanks to this very simple technique: every time he says that word, stop the conversation and explain why this word is harmful and dangerous to use, don’t let them steer the conversation back. Being visibly angry with them will only make them dig in their heels and seek comfort with other people who are racist, making it more difficult to get them out.
Eventually they will subconsciously stop using that word, simply because this causes the conversation to be interrupted every time. So while I don’t punish them (can’t exactly tell my father to go to his room or something), the repeated inconvenience of having the conversation halted every time will get it in their head eventually.
I think this is the most effective method to correct problematic behaviour in adults.
My Pixel 5a just died after 5 months of use. Looking for a new phone I can deGoogle.
It seems that the motherboard is dead, and that it’s a common issue with the 5a and I “should’ve known better,” despite it being impossible to find decent information on phones these days....
