FYI, correcting your lies isn’t pedantry. Quit being a condescending troll.

@originalfrozenbanana really seems to hate getting called out for his scapegoating lie.

I’m sick and tired of jerkwads fucking up the definitions. Happy now?

It matters because liberals have always been the enablers of fascists, and people need to understand that. Blaming the “leftists” instead is a scapegoating bullshit lie.

Obviously it’s not my only takeaway, but there’s no rule that my comment has to contain every single thought I had on the topic!

Yeah, I think fruity Tiki drinks and such are more my speed. I was also reading a thing the other day that mentioned a drink called a “lawn dart” that sounded interesting, although the Chartreuse in it is apparently difficult to get.

You might be asking why the right isn’t worried that Biden will abuse this - the answer is because they know he doesn’t have the balls. The left still thinks we’re in 1968 fighting for rights with mostly peaceful protests. We’re in 1938 and we’ve already lost.

Yet again, folks are confusing leftist with liberals.

Edit: Never mind; turns out the POS I replied to knows he’s lying and is slandering leftists deliberately for some fucked-up reason.

Make no mistake: “the left” knows damn well that this is a fight to the death with fascism. It is 100% liberals like Biden, NOT LEFTISTS, who think what’s going on here is politics as usual and that the MAGAs can be appeased, just like Neville fucking Chamberlain thought he could appease Hitler.

It might be weird, since I’ve never seen it recommended as a “beginner” thing, but the spirit I come closest to liking (aside from overtly sweet liquors like Kahlua and Midori) is actually gin.

As for a White Russian, I’m more inclined to just mix Kahlua and milk and skip the vodka entirely, LOL.

I do happen to have some spirits at home, including some Montego Bay light rum and some “Red Stag by Jim Beam honey tea bourbon.” I had some of each with (store-brand) coke to refresh my memory, and yep, I can confirm that I don’t care for either. The rum and coke was worse than the honey tea bourbon and coke, though: I was able to at least get through the latter, whereas I had to resort to diluting the rum and coke with extra coke.

Wanna really know how terrible I am at liking the kind of drinks people are “supposed to” like (as opposed to the ones folks are “supposed to” find way too cloyingly sweet)? I tried making a “triple sec and coke” and actually kinda like that one!

Either the “girliest” drink they have, or (more likely) a soft drink. I’m intrigued by cocktails and want to like them, but I never acquired a taste for alcohol.

They’re pretty much all bad for the environment, just to different degrees. Even the “greener” refrigerant choices (which have suboptimal thermodynamic properties, BTW) are things like ammonia, carbon dioxide and propane.

Point is, don’t be cavalier about letting your refrigerant escape even if it isn’t R22.

I’m more concerned that there’s literally no one in the streets over it.

Every social media except for the fascist safe-spaces will censor and ban people advocating for violence even in self-defense, including this one. On top of that, the FBI continues to actively infiltrate and suppress left-wing protest movements. Is it any wonder that the public’s ability to organize against fascism has been effectively neutered?

Breaking shit is the only thing that has ever worked.

Even the civil rights movement, which The Powers That Be try to credit “nonviolent” MLK with in retrospect, only actually succeeded because the alternative was Malcolm X and The Powers That Be fucking knew it.

O-Zone (of “Numa Numa” fame) is from Moldova; that’s pretty obscure, right?

Ylvis (“What Does the Fox Say?”) is Norwegian.

“Epic Sax Guy” is… also Moldovan, apparently. Huh.

Depends on the salad.

(But let’s be honest, it’s usually ranch.)

Suburban homeowners are the real “welfare queens.”

That’s what the “well-regulated militia” of the 2nd amendment was already supposed to be (give or take longbows vs. guns)

How do you know they aren’t in a 2 party consent state?

I don’t give a shit if they’re in a two party consent state, because I’m not and so that state doesn’t have any jurisdiction over me.

You consented by calling me. Fuck off with this notion that you’re allowed to dictate what I am or am not allowed to do with my own property.

TIL augmenting my memory is “be[ing] an asshole,” but telling me that I don’t have the right to help myself remember isn’t.

From https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/record-calls-on-your-android-phone :

Recording Limitations on Android

Google has never been particularly fond of call-recording apps for Android, at least not those from third parties. With Android 9, the company added limitations that prevented many apps from recording your phone conversations. The apps continued to work, but when you played the recording, you could only hear your end of the conversation—or complete silence.

Android 10 cracked down even further on these types of apps by blocking call recording via the microphone. In response, many app developers started tapping into Android’s Accessibility Service to record phone calls. But Google then updated its developer policy in April 2022 to state that it would not allow apps in the Play Store to use the accessibility service for call recording. That policy went into effect on May 11, 2022.

The company has even gone so far as to label call recording a type of spyware. “Behaviors that can be considered as spying on the user can also be flagged as spyware,” Google said in its developer policy. “For example, recording audio or recording calls made to the phone, or stealing app data.”

In the past, people were able to find workarounds to Google’s block, such as changing the audio source or format, turning the speaker volume as loud as possible, recording manually instead of automatically, and even rooting their phones. Others have since taken to sideloading call-recording apps through an APK file rather than downloading them directly from Google Play.

The version of Android installed on your phone also plays a role in all this. Apps on devices with Android 9 and earlier should still be able to record phone calls without bumping into Google’s latest restrictions. But apps on phones with Android 10 or higher that try to use the accessibility service may run afoul of Google’s new policy.

I’ve looked through the F-Droid repository for a call-recording app before, but didn’t find one that worked. It’s been a while, so maybe I ought to try again. Otherwise, I’m open to suggestions!
