I don't understand the whole trans-thing, but what i understand is life's #1-rule:

Remove toxic people from your life. No matter who it is, period. If they dare to judge you or your decisions based on some stupid old fantasy-book and have no opinion on their own: fuck them, you don't need such people in your world. Family is just being related by blood. That doesn't mean anything at all really. Real family is people who are on your side, who got your back, even if they don't understand it or like it or whatever. I don't know why we all overvalue blood-family so much.

"Giants: Citizen Kabuto"

It was a hillarious mix of everything. Super funny characters/story, great telling, fps, rts, asymetrical... All being super casual. Still on gog and still a joy.

"battlezone"

Best blend of rpg/rts/Story. So far i never saw one coming close that gameplay.

Oh wow, both seem really great.

Hehe, i have an awesome solution for that. I simply block everyone except wifey and friends. The rest of the world doesn't need to reach me. I call back when i want to, or simply don't 😁

Just because i CAN be reached mobile doesn't mean i have to. Wasn't before Smartphones and won't be with..

But yes, the call-screening is cool. If you disregard privacy and the percentage of non tech-savy people who are totally overwhelmed by that.

Totally. First thing i check is "can i debloat and root this piece of shit which is technically awesome but ruined software-side". Which i most likely can't as the hurdles became more and more annoying each year up to the point where i gave up and went google.

If they'd do the same with PCs, noone would buy that shit. Unless it's a crapple...

Those looked nice, yes.... But hard to get here and technically not that interesting to me, last time i checked. But we need more alternatives than just fairphone.

I hate the smartphone-market and what samsung and crapple made out of it.

Hate it like you want, but the effing pixels are still the best phones. Not by os, not by spec, but simply by being the most open android of them all. The easiest to de-google. Sounds stupid, but is not.

I hate google with all my heart (since they dropped their slogan "don't be evil" and went... Well.... Evil). But i will buy their fucking phones until a viable alternative comes along.

The location is just a "byproduct" of having access to all networking. Wifi, gps, bt... So if an app wants to know your wifis name (and maybe nothing more) it needs access to "everything network". Not the app's fault... Fuck google 😑

Dearth of excitement? I sometimes wish for a bit less excitement :-) But the day only has 24h and there are so many hobbies to pursue....

Spent the week doing tours with wifey, gaming like a maniac, catching up on some documentaries, and being glad for not having to worry about kids or pets or anything else 😊

Málaga... The one and only. Totally went outta "fashion" but it's still a bliss

I never understood people instantly behaving differently the second they smell money in a person. It gets uglier the more they smell. Noone with money will ever deal with them. Never ever.

It's epitome is this cult-like following or even worshipping of silly ass-clowns like musk.

I tried to look as poor as possible when i last dated. Golddiggers quickly leave then. I don't get the followers and i even less get the rich fucks boasting around so they can never trust anyone ever anymore. Great tactics 😁

Not everyone disliking something is necessarily phobic towards it. That's just one possoble explanation.

If that's what you enjoy doing, then sure, it's fine :) Coding is fun, i do it as a hobby too. Probably not on your level though. But you're most likely not the absolute average working-joe.

And yes, retire as soon as you comfortably can. Did in my early 20s, would never go back. Tried once or twice for some months working, just because it sounded like a nice gig. Got bored quickly, left before I even learned some names. That was 3 decades ago or so :) Even if you love the job, traveling is probably better. And doing what you love for yourself and not for the benefit of others is even better too.

Who cares for the cash, the lost time hurts most. Jobs suck ass, even if they're mildly interesting. Could've pursued 5 hobbies instead of sitting in a stupid office doing stupid things for other people

Not meant as an insult, but if you really think that, you aren't really great at that "tech job". But you're still better than any A"I"

Yeah sure whatever. Go hate the least important asset of an instrument that tramples you to death. If that makes you feel better.

Cops may be protecting my assets and my ass, but if it wouldn't be them, it would be private force i would have to pay (at least cops are free lol). I am one of those who reap the soils of your labour (because i don't work). You should fight me and those with way more dough. Not the badly paid cops. Actually why am I even arguing, i should be glad you hate them 😁

So, you're a troll, a bot or unable to comprehend my posts. Which is it?

I do understand what police is and what they do. Did you copy/paste this from r/i_am_14_and_this_is_deep?

I see you avoid answering things, so I don't even watch this. But for the point of the argument again: Rising fascism in europe is connected to the fucking cops HOW?! Why the effing f should I care about the enforcers of a system that wants to fuck me raw and not the owners of this system? Serves my point somehow, doesn't it?

Because... It's their job? Protecting everyone from unlawful blahblah? Overthrowing a gov is kinda the epitome of "unlawful". No wonders here. Also they'd probably do shit and the army rolls out in such a case, but...

Especially the muricans hate cops so much but love their military. People being paid to murder other people "for protection". Where are the AMAB instead of ACAB?

Anyhow, and your take on your statement is, that cops are the evil then? Where's the importance of the lowest of enemies that are literally in the same boat as the regular working joe that cries ACAB? Or is it just acceptance that one couldn't change a thing but hating cops is graspable and tangible?
