    I do. The first thing that caught my attention when she invited me over were the photos with Stephen King books on them, I got five of them. I have never read horror before, and I am loving it (It even made me read a published manual on the rules of Roque, just to know what the hell it really were).

    Actually I never saw the movie either, by choosing not to until now. So I am going in completely clean and having no idea how the story actually ends. I will watch it only once I have finished the book.

    It is indeed hard to go back. My current phone is the first one I haven't flashed in +10 years. I think about it sometimes, but I fear I might lose my macro camera... I found out that I really like photographing insects.

    Besides the downvoting, there is not much blind disagreement comments here, nor agreement ones. Definitely a comment section worth reading. Fair points of views on both sides.

    It still looks great! I don't think the yellowing of the plastic affects it that much, as it is just a base.

    This site has the smell of the old internet, it was a real trip to read it. This sign really is a cool donation, I loved it. Do yours still works?

    I wonder if my book collection will end up with some other reader years from now... 20 years is lot of time to read them all.

    I never had a camera, but I was the guy using family ones to take pictures for free in events and parties all the time. Nothing beats the feeling of using a real camera.

    It took me 5 trips to carry those 112 books home. I can't even imagine how much time it will take for me to read them all.

    I imagine the smile you had in that photo. This sure is a Make-a-Wish for a sports fan. XD

    I have spent years using Cyanogen on Moto G2. I wish I could be one of the guys donating to help the developer of that phone then. I was just a kid tho, but I used to read all his blog posts at the time.

    Japan's disaster stories are bone chilling. One of the books I got is called Dirty Hearts, it tells about the Japanese who fled to Brazil after the nukes. I have read just the beginning, but it already hit hard. I hope your friend is still ok. :)

    I have looked it up here, those novels look awesome. I will try to get some of them for sure. I didn't know about Discworld, but to start a series about a planet in a turtle's back, Pratchett must have great stories to tell. XD

  • Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books. It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself. What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

    I have been looking through the settings for something that could hide links or at least move them, so they don't show up on top of images. Is that a feature yet? Loving the app so far, btw. :)

    "Block The Rich" is like an ad-blocker, but for obscenely wealthy people with overinflated egos.

    I think it is a great idea. If this was an optional implementation to an adblock extension, I would totally use it. Just like I used to block nsfw content in my last phone with a custom ROM.

    The one about the cat being rescued from a tree always made me smile.

    As someone from Brazil and in the left, I could say the same about not caring, but I am aware that in my country's case there are a lot of people in mainstream media that replicates what both sides are saying in the USA. The right wing over here went so crazy they have tried to copy the capitol invasion. They are all in jail now.
