Well lucky you tbh, they’re insecure (it’s basically a password that can never be changed and can legally be compelled by the feds unlike an in-brain password), could in theory be used quite literally to fingerprint you, and can’t be used with gloves or dirty hands or even sometimes sweat.

Nope, gotta kill your landlord and then get in a shootout with the cops when they come to his your house, you heard the tankies. Time to die for their utopia soldier!

Nope too bad off with your head.

-Some dickcheesed tankie.

Edit: Lol umad. Fuck them tankies hahaha.

He says (quite clearly) that the reason for the lack of paper products to wick up the semen is because the man drinks his own semen, he goes on further likening this practice to recycling.

I hope I was of assistance.

…hmm you raise an interesting question lol, I didn’t think about that haha.

Nah I think you’d have to lose both at the same time, with no backup. I keep a backup on a flash drive just in case, and I’m considering keeping a printout of that “add second device” qr in my safe just in case as well.

Nah I don’t think so. I think it’s just a clumsy wording for “add another device,” but they’re all “equal” in the sense there is no real “primary” or “secondary.” At least, I haven’t been able to tell the difference yet myself if one is a primary haha.

The only difference I’m aware of is, if you’re only using one device messages get deleted from the server immediately after download and stored locally, if you’re using “multi-device mode” then it depends on your server iirc but default is they get deleted off the server after 30 days (in case one device is say a laptop that isn’t always running, so they can sync, presumably you boot/connect it at least once a month I suppose).

Hey I get that reference!

Yeah but honestly not that wild due to how it gets absorbed and how little vapor you get. Not for me but y’know to each their own, I’m already on the other end of the nic spectrum myself anyway.

Yeah you definitely can get a buzz easier from salts especially using a dripper haha, they’re meant for like Juuls lmao. That’s intense!

…I just vaped with covid hahaha. Fuck it we ball.

Iirc I did use zyns sometimes too if need be, I always keep a few around for “emergencies” anyway (like planes or whatever, or for a while my boss would call on the radio a code that basically meant “no vaping our landlord is here” and so I’d pop one in for the hour or two he’d be bugging us).

If I were trying to quit I would too (and will if that time comes), I just wanted to switch from a pack and a half a day to vaping lol.

Also current vapes have a much higher percentage of nicotine. When I vaped (comming from smoking), I mixed my liquids with 6 mg/ml. I think the standard today is 20 mg/ml.

Ehhh kinda. First of all when I started in like what 2012 using Kangertech pods and sticks, the vaporblunt brand liquid we were buying came in 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24mg options, and that was freebase liquid in the early days. Then mods came out and you didn’t need that high (and it would hurt lol) so most liquids were sold in 0 (sometimes, but it started falling off), 3, and 6mg options. Then salt nic came out, but due to being absorbed differently by the body and consumers mostly not wanting to use sub-ohm mods instead opting for smaller devices ~1.6ohms, the nic contents went back up (as high as 50mg, actually), but since it’s salt not freebase and something about the absorption and the amount of smoke difference from .1ohm to 1.6ohm it sort of evens out. ~45-50mg is still a little more iirc than say sub-ohm dripping a 3mg freebase, but not as wild as it sounds.

I make my own juice anyway at 4mg freebase.

Or make your own juice, it’s easy as fuck. So much cheaper too a bottle costs me like $3.

Btw the thing with diacetyl was overblown itself. The only recorded cases of popcorn lung came from a microwave popcorn factory working with the powdered form and no respirators, where it acted like asbestos and settled in the lungs. It has never been observed from the liquid form (or literally anywhere but that one factory actually, but), and never been observed due to vaping. Moreover, traditional cigarettes contain 2,000x the diacetyl that any vape did, and nobody has ever gotten popcorn lung from those, either.

Basically don’t rail lines of diacetyl powder (or just wear a respirator if you’re in a microwave popcorn factory on the “butter floor,”) and you’ll be fine.

Adults hate things that taste good, and kids never used to smoke cigs that tasted like shit before vapes. Solid plan lol.

Inb4 “Turns out all you need to ‘spy’ on them is Shodan” lmao.

I like that Signal has a desktop client with syncing. Maybe more messengers have that.

Delta Chat does too! It’s available on Android (from both F-Droid and Play Store), iOS, Win, Mac (Macstore and Homebrew), and Linux. There’s also Arcane Chat on android, which is by one of the DC devs and is sort of his testing ground, with complete interoperability.

I’m like you lol. But I’ve been keeping my testing small, so I only have to convince a few contacts on each switch I’ve made. Once I find a good one I’ll expand further slowly (and it’s looking like that might be DC for me). One of the things I’ve been looking for more as of late is ease of use for “normals,” but still private and reasonably secure, and DC is really hitting that pretty well for me so far.

Hmmm, no lol.

Never used whatsapp, but without zooming looked at first like Delta Chat’s default background, which is honestly HILARIOUS to me if they intentionally “copied” Whatsapp’s background. Also kind of ingenious, makes it seem familiar to whatsapp users, and kinda makes it look like whatsapp at a glance (if someone is in a repressive country and hiding use of private chats is useful.)

But I think you might be right, oops! Lol. It’s definitely not Delta Chat but is similar in appearance, though the top bar is completely different (in my defense idk what the iPhone app looks like haha…ok ok I wasn’t paying close attention).

As to simpleX, I’m not a fan of this.

Nor their difficulty with multi-device sync which I’ve heard isn’t really a thing they do. That said I also haven’t tried it yet (if I ever will because NFTs, [or Crypto, and AI] are all basically an automatic “No” from me in a chat app [or browser]), so I can’t speak much further than that on it.

Signal is cool and all, but the phone number requirement is mega lame. It also has caused issues for me in the past with my friends that download it “just for a protest” and then delete it without disassociating the acct from their phone number, this might be fixed now that they removed SMS (despite still requiring a phone number…), but what would happen is when I texted them from signal, instead of falling back to SMS it would just send to their signal acct, but since they deleted the app, it gets lost forever in limbo, and since Signal was my default for SMS, I had to change it to Messenger to text them, and change it back to Signal when I was done talking to them. Was a pain in the fucking ass quite frankly lol. And every time someone signed up it would message me “so and so has joined signal” automatically, what if I don’t want someone (or everyone) on my contacts list with a signal account to have mine, what if I intended only to use it clandestinely? Think kids/parents or a woman hiding the app from her abusive husband, IMO it’s a privacy breach. But mostly I don’t like the phone number requirement at all.

But Delta Chat is privacy focused too, and the onboarding is so easy my literal mom could (and did!) do it, they’re also working on minimizing metadata which is a plus, and while they no longer recommend it as a go-to it can be used with traditional email services to bypass censorship if need be (since email is so ubiquitous it can’t just be blocked easily), and the chatmail servers can be self hosted, also the video calling (in beta) works really well (for a beta, there’s some bugs lol, but you have to enable “debug calling” in the settings to use it so if you do that you know). Also somehow the notifications are pretty instant despite only eating less than 1% of my battery a day, and I’m on GrapheneOS, idk how they do that. You can also sign on to their forum with your DC account, which is just neat lol. I’m sure I’m forgetting something.

Delta Chat spotted!

Cool to see other people have been able to get their parents on it too because of the easy onboarding process. I recently switched from Matrix to Delta Chat myself and have been loving it! Got my mom on it too!
