  • Those old white people who go to Republican party meetings

    Coprolites

    I've found that the only line I'm willing to draw in terms of who is and isn't socially-minded for progress is between those of us who want to build an end of the political spectrum to make things better, and those who want to revert to some earlier form that led us to where we are now, or just enforce the status quo because the burning room they're sitting in seems fine compared to the uncertainty of change.

  • I was in the same place, and eventually just bit the bullet and started getting them printed by a company, and I'd use money from side projects to buy batches of 50 or so. Now I sell them, and it makes some money, but not a lot. First I was using StickerMule until they turned out to be kind of fashy, so I switched to customstickers.com. It isn't free, but now my designs don't wash off in the rain, and if I spend a bunch of time on a design, I don't have to draw it every time I want a sticker of it.

    Otherwise, USPS labels are your friend. Avery products come off insanely easily, and printer ink bleeds/fades.

  • Without a detailed graph of all of the policies, actions and history of each organization so you can compare and contrast them all, and the willingness for each person to study that graph, there is no way to get people to know the difference.

    Most people don't know the difference between the United Kingdom, the British Isles, England, Great Britain, Ireland and the Crown Dependencies are, or what all of the different subdenominations of Christianity are, as you mentioned. Without a large degree of interest in learning what the differences are, or a high level of pertinence to someone's life, educating them to the differences and similarities would be next to impossible.

    The best you could probably do is have a one-sentence summary of what each group is all about, and hope that your audience doesn't immediately discount it based on what they think they know about that group. For example, "Hamas: Their unifying tenet is armed resistance to Israeli occupation of Palestine". If the general sentiment towards Hamas by the West is anything to go by, your audience would probably question even that. If it was easy, it would have been done already.

    It's an uphill battle.

  • I've turned off the AI aspect and user data sharing on them, same as I've done on every one of my other devices because that shit will be the death of many of us. As for the price, I get it. They've lasted me a long time, and with the battery life they and the case have, they've been more worth it than any other pair of wired or wireless headphones aside from the Logitech G Pro X gaming headset I bought a few years ago. Those don't serve the same purpose as the earbuds, though.

  • Nothing Ear(open) is what I use, and it solves almost all of the problems I've ever had with earbuds, wired or not. They have a loop that goes over your ear so they'll only fall out if you try putting something like a sweatshirt on, they don't actually go in your ears so you can still hear other things and they don't get gross because they aren't actually touching your inner ear. The only big issues are that they won't go super loud, and they don't have noise cancellation.
