No! Really? Who woulda thunk it

To rephrase a thought that @echo@lemmy.world said in their reply:

Do you remember what it was like before you were born? Chances are no (if you do, please speak with a scientist to study this phenomenon). Thats exactly what death is like. Whether I live 10, 20, 30, or 100 years longer than 40, to me it makes no difference - I wont be aware of those years if Im dead. Sure, for some those 40-50 years they live may be amazing even, but after youre dead its neither good nor bad - it just isnt. So for me personally (always speaking about my own personal beliefs, and never trying to claim that others should also wish to only live until 40/50) Id prefer to die at 40ish. I don't want children (because i dont like them, dont want the responsibility, and my moral code), I refuse to ever get married, so all my life is is a trip that I try to make as comfortable and enjoyable as possible until it stops being so.

Does that mean I will take matters into my own hands and suicide, either by assisted or other methods? No. But in the hypothetical scenario where one could choose when they die in advance, Id personally choose 40 if asked right now.

And to insert a witty quote, "Death is a lot like stupidity. Its only painful for others". I unfortunately don't rememember who said it.

My first laptop i put linux on had a realtek chipset, back in 2016. It never fully worked, and actually made me switch back to windows for a short time. Now I use an Alpha external wifi antenna on my desktop and it just works

Your first issue which is evident from your post is that you think Android = Samsung and vice versa. Thats not how android works.

To answer your question, I like android, but Im on a degoogled operating system called /e/os. Granted it might not be for you if you dont care about privacy (why tho?) but just the fact that anyone can take stock android and do stuff like create a whole new (degoogled in this case) operating system is so much better then iOS

Yeap thats what i do. My handle (dont know its proper name) will only fit the blades if you snap them in half. I just buy the cheapest ones since i only ever use each half for one shave anyway. I also just got the cheapest handle I could find on the internet that ships to me, so you definitely dont need anything fancy i think. I guess in a year I could invest in something nicer, but for now it gets the hair off my face so im not worried

Also, glad to know my misfortune at least made you laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚

For everyone who cant understand the hype of eating avocado as anything other than a spread, I recommend splitting it in half and squeezing half a lemon on each avocado half (it collects in the hole where the pit was), then eating with a teaspoon. Here in Cyprus we are often teased (and we do a fair bit of self deprecating jokes about this) that we put lemon on everything, but I think it genuinely works with avocado, and its a great little snack.

You seem quite angry with me. You didn't even stop to proofread.

Drinks were drunk, and editing on mobile with my fat fingers is a pain ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚. Also, not angry, sorry if it came across that way.

As for the rest of your comment, I disagree about the consent being ok based on the age difference, but agree about the power imbalance part. The acceptable age difference in my opinion is:

If both people are underage, a 2 year difference sounds reasonable as you said (but only if both are underage at the start of the relationship, otherwise grooming). If both are adults, have at it, get with a 70 year old the day after you turn 18 if you wish.

My point is Im personally staunchly against separating and mixing different ages for being legally able to do different stuff. While not how nature works, laws need to be written in such a way that they apply the same to everyone, so even if I mature/develop my brain 5 years after you do for example, we both need to have the threshold age be the same for adulthood. Once thats understood and agreed upon, we now need to determine what said threshold age will be. I brought up the example of the USA in my comment above, where they are legally allowed to drive, die/kill for the government, and drink at different ages. I believe youre either an adult or not, at least in the eyes of the law (or at least thats how it should be)
