That's honestly what I find interesting about it. The kernel of truth getting shouted out by the well deserved derision

Samsung had a little pressure sensitive area at the bottom of phone screens in the S9 era. It was handy and I had it set up like a hidden home button.

The S9 also had a variable aperture camera, which I feel like could have been developed a lot more.

I also miss notification LEDs. Sure, AOD mostly replaces it, but it was fun setting different colors for people, situations, etc

The Essential phone had a ceramic back that was very comfortable and cool in the hand. Though it was slippery. Another idea that could have been developed further.

The different back materials on the Moto X were very satisfying. The customization of that phone was unmatched!

I use it to expand text. It's handy for things that have to be written frequently, like complicated symbols in my scientific work (δ¹⁸O, NO₃, etc), or addresses, or even the present date. Not everyone needs it, but for me it saves a lot of time

I use Wireguard via PiVPN and it's pretty much foolproof. I don't bother with Dynamic DNS but have in the past

It is cool that they have the complete genome! Unlike their "dire wolf" stuff, which was sketchy to say the least, this sounds much more promising

If they helped her medically, she could live and thrive while not conforming to their rules. They are afraid of other women under their thumb realizing the grass is greener and also pursuing such a nonconforming lifestyle. They know deep inside that their beliefs only are preserved through coercion

She was not the property of a man. That's the standard by which these people assess women

It's about propagating the religion- the lives of the people are unimportant. The religion grows by enforcing a set of customs, and anyone who doesn't comply is threatened with ostracism or violence

Ironically, they are going directly against the teachings of the book they claim to love and study daily. The New Testament is full of warnings to treat others as you would be treated, love your neighbor, accept others as they are, abandon worldly concerns and improve yourself before judging others, etc etc. I'm just a bitter atheist pointing out the ridiculous state of their "faith"

uBlock got rid of all that for me

No nuance. Women are property to them
