I can’t find Gemini on my phone.

Thanks for the downer.

I know it doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous, but this article made me feel better.

Why the hell would anyone apply for a visa to come here?

For me, it was my hips. I really do think sitting for long periods in front of a computer is really bad for your health. Good luck to you. Get lots of exercise and take as many breaks as you can get away with.

I’m already waiting for my interview. But it’s more than that. It’s having to go through it at all. It’s their treatment of people. It’s the super spreader event that is an aircraft and an airport. It’s the treatment of people by the airlines and the whole schedule thing. It’s dealing with other passengers. I live in Florida, yup the crazy one. In the last four flights I’ve taken it took 20 hours to get home from Canada, 36 hours to get home from Tennessee and 15 hours to get home from Colorado. I mean WTF!

I took a private airplane once and I parked for free at Signature services, walked into a, large mostly empty lobby area with free cookies and got on the plane. When I got back, the crew, and I swear I’m not making it up, actually brought out a red carpet. It was ridiculously short, like 2 feet, with a ridiculously short velvet rope to match it. I walked through the same lobby, grabbed a cookie and hopped in my car and went home. That was it. Friggin fantastic. I do admit this was prior to 9/11. Since I’m not privy to such treatment normally I’ve never taken another private flight so I don’t know how much has changed. But THAT’S the way to travel… unless the OP meant something like a teleporter instead.

Also I’m not sure it’s borderline extortion. Feels like flat out extortion, but I see your point.

Don’t fret about it. It only lasts another 40 years or so.

Private Jet. Not because I want to live like a billionaire but because I friggin hate going through TSA and lately every time I travel the airlines seem to have little value-add over just driving.

I’ll look into it. In the past I seen to recall that all of the contacts were there but the previous conversations were either fine or severely truncated.

Well, regrettably, I live here. I will, also regrettably, be returning from a trip to Europe.

But I didn’t really want to lose my text conversations. Very little of it has to do with politics but, you know, there’s probably some on there somewhere.

Most “incriminating” stuff (if I even know what that is) ON my android phone is probably text messaging. I use a program called Textra. Any suggestions for that?

The rest would be in the cloud, like comments here or on YouTube videos or wherever Google stores the stuff I say while my phone is near.

IDK, kind of thinking about leaving it at home, but I really want the communication while I’m in airports and I use it for music on airplanes and in hotel showers and stuff.

This is typical fascism. Was Hitler a member of the Aryan race? Blue eyed, blond hair? Nope. Dude wasn’t even German. Were any of his cadre? Nope.

Kim Jong Un reportedly doesn’t need to use the bathroom because he is so perfect.

Trump is cracking down on illegal immigrants. Married an illegal immigrant. He’s against chain migration. Melania chain migrated her family. Calls Biden sleepy Joe, then falls asleep during his trial. Says voting by mail is rampant with fraud. Votes by mail. None of this makes any sense!

Good.

And how do I know there’s an anti-cheat?

Good God man. I just want to play games.

True definition of enshitification.

So that we don’t cheat the game?

How can I know? Should I avoid those games?

Thank you for the reply.

Thank you for the explanation. It’s kind of what I envisioned. I guess it doesn’t apply to me mostly since I haven’t played a PvP since rage quitting Overwatch a few years ago. Now I just play cooperative games with a buddy in the UK.

Or does it apply to me?

Man I hate to ask this, but what exactly is anti-cheat? I’m guessing it’s not self-explanatory or it is but comes with some sort of baggage.
