Sure. I am an iOS dev. I understand apples privacy protections and policies. I limit access to most apps and have some amount of confidence in Apple not selling my location information based on both their privacy policies and business model.

I have zero confidence in the security models of car manufacturers, and haven’t looked closely into if they sell location data or not (my newest car is 15 years old) but I’m guessing they do.

Maps are fine for me mostly because my phone already knows where I am, and I don’t want my car to. Also CarPlay already supports adding turn by turn to the car’s dash Outside of the normal CarPlay screen

I like CarPlay, but nope. Car operation systems should stay separate from car entertainment systems. Do not want.

I would still buy this just because

Plus, every time you bring it up (such as this thread) a large number of the responses are of the “not all men” sort. And yes, not all, but more than enough, and those comments are the opposite of helpful

For me the production was unlike anything I had seen to that point. Just incredible. Gameplay, however, did little for me. Perfect game to watch someone else play in my book

Tankless heater; this will never happen.

Unpopular opinion time:

I loved the Last Jedi and Ryan Johnson pretty much made Luke as great/powerful of a Jedi as he could while still fitting the plot in with existing canon and what was setup in ep VII.

We already knew Luke had disappeared, so it was already canon that he had essentially abandoned the cause for some reason, that was done by Abrams. Luke had struggled with fear and anger the entire original trilogy, so the cause in TLJ fit in well with his past, as did his reaction.

His force projection to save the day was probably the single strongest and most impactful single act of the force displayed across all the films and was just badass.

My friend got a dozen or more marriage proposals in Egypt, some including pretty sizable dowries—which really did not help as much as the people offering the proposals wanted. I’m guessing the only reason she wasn’t followed like this was due to the presence of her family

Yeah, that’s about right from my experience

I would. Vance is awful, but I have zero faith in his ability to hold onto trump’s cult. Things get much scarier once trump has had time to establish himself more.

Hoping with zero evidence that the end of lower decks is just because they’re getting promoted out of the lower decks and the characters will all return in a new show: “The Next Next Generation” (or maybe “Upper Decks”)

Most of what I’m seeing here sounds too confrontational or passive aggressive to me. What I would do personally is wait until he asks you if everything is okay again and then say something like this:

“Yeah, all good here. So you know, I’m not quiet because something is wrong in my life or between us, I’m just very introverted and my natural state of being is not to open up”

Most people tend to assume other people’s internal state is works similarly to their own, unless it’s an aspect where they know they are far removed from the norm, so for an extrovert, they equate you being quiet to what would cause them to be quiet. Without telling him the reason you act differently, he will continue to assume this.

By wording it as an FYI, you give the opportunity for him to understand the difference and change his behavior without telling him he has been doing something wrong, because best as he knows he hasn’t been, and so you hopefully prevent him from getting defensive.

If he continues, then maybe you can go to a more confrontational approach. That’s how I would handle, at least.

I am also a woman and I’m guessing you are not from your username, so ymmv with communication like this.

Bambi is an old term, older than me. It predates descriptions like homoromantic asexual, so not reinventing the wheel at all

I can no more do this than you can freely move through a fourth spatial dimension

I’m very much a lesbian and can confirm we are flatlanders. I get left and right, front and back, but top and bottom? Completely foreign concepts.

Seriously though. It seems to me very popular among young lesbians to talk about tops and bottoms, but I’m a bit older (around 40) and that was never really a thing for me or the people around me.

FE2 is my 35mm camera of choice, good taste! Though to be honest, i rarely shoot film and when I do it’s usually 645 on my Mamiya

I was young when this episode came out and it absolutely terrified me. I still find it scary to the point where I’ll turn it off sometimes when it comes on. Great ep though, and Janeway is a badass.

Aubrey Plaza. She’s way hotter than me (that’s kinda the point), and not half Japanese (will make the racist parts confusing and/or hilarious) but she could definitely pull off my resting bitch face and general disdain for everything.
