When cowboys would be sitting on their front porch or at the local bar outside talking with nothing to do, they would sometimes take their pistols and shoot at cow pies or horse poop lying in the street or across the way.

This became known as "shooting the shit."

When they were hunting fur, a hunter might point out what they thought was a beaver or another valuable small animal, but upon further inspection would sometimes say, "Aw, that's just bullshit."

I was going to go Mint/Cinnamon, but now I'm going to more.

Explain this to me more thoroughly? Does this mean physically going to the library and using their Wi-Fi? Or are you talking about something else?

I littoral-ly thought it was a typo

Cool thanks. Does everyone already know this and I'm the only one who has never heard of this before?

She seems nice.

I misread it "Tobacco" which was a hard no. Anyone who's swallowed a wad of chewing tobacco will tell you the same thing.

It's fine, great on her phone. After sending to me it's unwatchable.

Have a look if you want.

Edit: NOTE, I am the receiver of the texts.

So many people asking me to have my wife do something different on her end.

Beloved, she is on iPhone because she doesn't want to do anything "weird." She is texting from her phone number using her texting app. That's what's going to happen.

Now, why can't I get iMessage on my android phone? If it's just a messenger app why not make it available for Android?

I'd use it.

The same way it does in Google maps, and in Waze. But I can't seem to find a setting on the phone that will do that for any other apps, and I can't find any information through internet searches that leave me that direction.

As usual, they show me what they think I ought to be looking for, which is how to lock an app. Not the question I asked, Google (or anybody else).

Is it impossible or does anybody have a tip? Not looking to go down the unlocking my phone root access path either. It's not that big a deal, I could turn on trusted devices, or extend unlock, but those aren't the solutions I'm looking for.

The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?

That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.

I've been meaning to tell you...

My laptop is an MSI Sword 15 A11UD. But I'm really looking for a program that analyses and projects problem areas and supported/unsupported hardware

STOP LEAVING BRITANY ALONE!

EDIT: Holy shit! I don't care that nobody thinks anything about Britney or Descendants but...

Let's not forget what the US government did to its soldiers in MK ultra. It's a real damn thing, follow the Wikipedia link in the comments below.

If you don't think there's some truly evil shit going on in the world - that's one you ought to look up.

It's kind of a work shower thought

I guess this could have just been a shower thought as well...

However I find myself being disagreed with quite often, mostly for not advocating or cheering violence, "by any means possible" change, or revolutionary tactics. It would seem that I'm not viewed as authentically holding my view unless I advocate extreme, violent, or radical action to accomplish it.

Those seem like two different things to me.

THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN'T MEANT FOR YOU.
