Even now 10 years later every once in a while I forget Blue (my dog) is dead and almost go to call for her before I remember... right in the feels.

@darth Well this thing is like 2 days with near constant use... so battery life is much better too if thats a concern (when im outdoors I try to bring power or be near a plug if I can)

@darth In that case I'd think of it like this:

It is a regular tablet that is meant to excel for use out doors.

I got it largely because I like to do tablet stuff (and laptop stuff) in the woods or on a mountain peak or outside of a cafe... I enjoy th sun and wind, and if possible I like to work in it.

If you want to be able to work outside on beatufil days then a e=ink display is a must IMO as they are the only display that works int he sun.

As a #SCUBA diver I hate to burst everyones bubble but being neutrally buoyant in water does not resemble being weightless. You still feel gravity, you'd get closer to feeling weightless if you went skydiving.

@trinsec I make new friends easily, also I'm a good aim :)

@trinsec Its an american tradition, like thanksgiving and obesity.

@trinsec Similar, although we dont need paint with all the blood.

@trinsec Me and my friends like to shoot at eachother for fun while the other person tries to hide. We call it american hide and seek.

@trinsec I get to play with my toys every week :)

@trinsec 911? We dont do that here, we have guns :)

@darth I bought this primarily for reading books, and that is where they shine. That said its a full android 12 device and good for anything a regular android device is good for. The two main advantages (which arent limited to reading books):

1) works great when there is light around without any backlit. Using it in bright sunlight is a far superior expiernce than a traditional screen.

2) Significantly reduced battery usage

@trinsec I **wish** someone would steal it now :)

Updated the power off screen of my color epaper tablet. Perfect.

It is **always** ok to ask a woman if she is pregnant. The reasoning is simple, if your wrong there is nothing to be ashamed of, there is nothing wrong with being overweight and looking pregnant.

@lonelyowl13 You didnt start anything, your comments are welcome, appreciated, and encouraged in the future.

Also I agree, while the fediis more volatile than most I generally find most LGBT people are quite easy and agreeable to deal with. Sadly the toxic ones on this network are not representative of the community.

> I'm more care not only "the feelings" directly but about how those feelings will affect my ability to get my (or your) point across, convince people to believe in the things i think are facts.

This is where we differ. Each person engaged in a conversation has a personal obligation to ensure that they keep their emotions in check and engage with good-faith. If someone fails to do that it isnt the speakers responsibility to manage the readers emotions, it is their. If those emotions make them unable to engage faithfully then thats on them. While we should have compassion and let them know we care and show our good intent accurately it is not a speakers responsibility to bear the burden of an entire communities potential emotional responses and to refine their speech to "walk on eggshells" as the saying goes.

> For example, if you show this thread to normie lgbtq people or allies, 90% of them will say we both are disconnected from reality edgelord lunatics, they won't even think about arguments in a good faith which make them useless.

While is a perfect example of how **they** are acting improperly and in bad faith without bothering to understand the reality. That is on them, and while I hope they will reflect and act in a more mature way, if they dont i am more than happy to have them block me and disapear as I have little interest in engaging with anyone who lacks emotional maturity.

@ics

How many scruples do you have?

@lonelyowl13

Sure, I am not claiming their feelings shouldnt be acknowledged. only that one shouldnt modify the facts to appease those feelings. You address it by reassuring them you dont have evil intent, that you care about them... but you dont placate it by changing the facts to avoid their emotional response
