Can't answer for anybody else, but from what admittedly limited information I'm aware of there are many reasons I'd not want to move to India - Modi, pollution so bad in places you can hardly see through it at times, rampant ~~huliganism~~ hooliganism, sexism, mobs severely beating/killing people (most not even nearly for "justifiable" causes), high unemployment, castes, people still openly using public streets for restrooms, etc. Doesn't seem like it's any better than the Ununited States of America.

How nice. Now get all your rightie friends to do the same, then maybe we'll talk.

Yet I STILL can't pick which phone I can have connected to my Chromebook. I've got three that I switch among for various purposes, but only one shows up on the Chromebook for connection purposes - and of course it's not the one I use most. I effing HATE how virtually everything Google does that doesn't almost directly involve profits has become half-assed anymore.

Bullshit. EVERY group gets "hated on." It's just that the Venn diagram of powerful rich assholes and men (especially white) has a massive overlap, and they use and abuse the power they have without hesitation nor consideration for anyone but themselves. They deserve to be hated upon (and this is coming from a white guy), while so many others they shift blame to don't.

The Princess Bride.

TBF, that's not a very good litmus test since anyone protesting the Palestinian genocide has been accused of the same, which we all know is utter bullshit.

It's about effing time he gets to experience what he's been doing to all of us.

If it helps, this Gen Xer (i.e. "me") is offsetting their remaining parent's vote. We were told growing up how decent we should be, yet when we actually took that to heart and did that our parents went off the reservation and lost their minds. There are a LOT of fractured families thanks to Trump & Faux Snuz, and I hope we can make the future worth all the trouble they've caused.

They're still way overpriced - especially considering they don't get the several years of extended support that the later models do. I lucked out and caught Mint Mobile clearing out their Pixel 7 Pro for $99 at the end of last year. The fingerprint reader is a serious PITA, so I'm still using my old phone as my daily driver. The P7P camera is fantastic, so I keep it around for that and as a test bed, but that's about it.

I wouldn't pay more than roughly $300 (maybe $400, tops) at this point - and then only if I didn't care too much about the fingerprint sensor. With the much shorter support frame, I don't see how Google thinks it's worth so much more now.

Forgot to mention the panicked brain freeze when you found out you miscounted.

I don't care what they say, a single space after a period at the end of a sentence is NOT enough. Now get offa my lawn!
