I appreciate the reply but I just don’t see why states need different laws. The time period cited for the need was 250 years ago. I guess that is the conservative modus operandi.

I’m just not convinced that Mississippi having different, worse, healthcare laws is better for the people who live there. Mississippi is choosing to shit their pants, but as a country we all share the smell. Conservatives want to sit in their soiled pants, or the smell, and the rest of us will are horrified.

I never understood states rights and how separating our country into 50 different little countries is a good thing. It puts states at odds and forces the US Judicial system into having to decide. Putting the law deciding back into the hands of the federal government.

Isn’t the whole point that if someone doesn’t agree with the laws of the state they reside they can go to a state that does? It would seem needing to find out who gets an abortion or gender-affirming outside of your state is nobody’s worry. Those people are doing the exact thing conservatives want.

Does Mississippi plan on charging people in other states of committing a crime? Is it to make sure a Mississippi resident doesn’t cross a state border? If so, why? What intentions would the state of Mississippi have with this info if not to prosecute?

The best thing about Windows is that if there is something you want to do, either there is a detailed guide online for the specific issue or someone went a step further and created a simple tool to accomplish that task. Windows is stable/reliable/accessible.

To run Linux it would need to be just as easy to install, be as compatible with games as Windows, and not have to involve deep dives into Linux user forums to accomplish basic stuff.

With the main intention of Linux, outside of just not supporting Apple or Microsoft, is to be able to customize your OS experience. I don’t have time/patience/desire to do that. I want my computer to be there ready to open a game launcher and launch that game without issue. That is true about Windows 99.8% of the time, I have not had that same experience with Linux.

I played RO back in high school. Haven’t thought about that game in 20 years. I might have to check it out again.

There are people that like new things, there are people who prefer older things. I am willing to spend money on a new phone every 2 years because it is my main computing device. I, also, don’t miss a lot of things of older phones. I never used as SD card, I never replaced a battery, and I haven’t used wired headphones in a decade.

I like my iPhone 14, the LiDAR gives me a ton of cool applications, the camera takes the best photos I’ve ever taken before, it will be kept updated for the next 5 years and the always-on screen is very useful for unlock-free info.

If you trade-in a fairly new phone, you can heavily discount a new phone purchase as well. It’s more like leasing a car vs owning a car. Pay for the time you use the phone, return it while it still has value in the 2nd hand market and get a fresh phone.

On the other hand, my brother sticks his phone in his pocket all day and doesn’t look at it at home. He bought an iPhone SE a few years ago and it just works. He would argue buying a new phone is silly as well. But we use our phones very differently and so our purchase habits will be different.

Apollo really held on for dear life. Worked until sometime this afternoon.

I tried Reddit on the browser but it just doesn’t work like I want it to on my phone. There are many people who don’t know a different version of Reddit than their terrible app and site. It will continue but not with me.
