“You got games on your phone?”

It’s just a deconstructed chicken sandwich to me. What I was actually weirded out with was the combination of sweet syrup and savory chicken. When I actually tried it, it kinda works. Just as a chicken sandwich with a honey-something type of sauce would.

All mobile browsers on IOS are “reskins” of safari because of Apple’s development restrictions. I use Orion with uBO, Firefox Focus, and Safari with Adguard and Hush content blockers.

My lemm.ee accounts are all tied to proton email addresses. I think what the other commenter said might be the case, proton is filtering it somehow because it’s a newly created account.

Likely not, especially if it’s the same regular life where I have lots of responsibilities and have to work to live.

Depending on what your lemmy app/UI displays, executed either by Paul or Stilgar. One would be brought back though.

Nothing. Instances will have to take it upon themselves to defederate, just like how a lot of instances all decided to defederate from Threads.

If it was the same pressure all the time, does that mean he couldn’t do anything that would otherwise cause a normal heart to beat faster (run, exercise, feel nervous)? Would he faint or something since his “heart” won’t beat faster?

I don’t think anyone is discrediting her continued success. People are just pointing out that she wouldn’t have been able to do that in the first place without the financial backing she had to get into the industry. IIRC (and I’m happy to be corrected), her dad literally created a record label to sign her. How many people get that luxury? There are a lot of artists who got big (either by accident, by money, or pure luck) but were never able to sustain it, so her being able to continue making “successful” songs isn’t a criticism. There are many great artists and musicians with wonderful music that never make the light of the day because they never got the opportunity to showcase it. In the current industry, talent can only get you so far. A lot of luck and/or money is needed to break through. Not to mention how greedy the record labels are. Look at how Taylor herself had to fight to get back the rights to her own songs. A smaller artist won’t have the resources to do that.

I only browse my city’s sub and /r/nba for highlights. That’s it. I don’t comment anymore ever since my account was suspended for logging in while on a vpn, so I guess the only thing they get from me is site hits. And even then, I use rdx on mobile and a container on FF desktop with content blockers.

So is it a good time to buy?

Anything time-sensitive. Emails, calls, messages, and calendar reminders. Then I have a Sleep setting that silences all of them when I go to bed.

It is, but OP’s is a little worse because they got a fixer-upper. If you’re buying new (or newer), you should have less anxiety given you get a proper inspection done before closing. You’ll still have to learn doing maintenance and repairs of course, as there will always be something that will come up.

I used to listen to DT a lot, but I kinda stopped following them after Octavarium. Their latest release is honestly not really interesting to me. They’ve been kinda creatively stagnant for a while, even with Portnoy’e return. The songs just have the same repetitive formula and arrangements. Meanwhile newer bands like Haken (who are the most similar to DT in my opinion) have been making amazing music.
