It actually became more frequent when sms became free in my country around 2010 / when people switched to services instead of sms.
But it has also become easier to block messages on most services so it keeps the balance.
The age doesn’t matter. If anything, they usually become creepier the older the guy is.

That way nanna would need to know that the children are struggling with this. A lot of children wouldn’t tell from the shame and since they are doing something ‘forbidden’. I know I wouldn’t have told my grandma.

Young children can not create a bank account so they can not get money transferred. In case their parents set up a bank account, the parents will have access to that money and see any transactions.

Now you are probably a good person who would not steal money from your children. However some parents are not good people.
There are also a lot of cases where parents don’t want their children to have things they need, like soap or tampons. Doubt much has changed about that from the time I was a child. It would be a lot harder for children to access things like that if no one can slip them some secret money.

We’re not even in the US. We assume he got it from a trip to Mexico because he has never been to North America at all.

My husband had it.

We never bought meat to use at home anyways, so in that aspect nothing really changed.

However it was kinda cumbersome when invited by other people, especially since we live in a backwards place where people consume meat daily. E.g. grandmas kept cooking red meat despite me trying to explain it multiple times and getting offended when he didn’t eat it.
Oftentimes my husband would just eat a bit of it anyways and then spend the evening in the toilet throwing up, just to avoid the strange drama that telling people you can’t eat meat causes.

That’s also how we figured out it goes away, since the doctor made it sound like it would be permanent. But eating the bit started to get less bad and then eventually stopped causing any issues. Now he can eat anything people serve again, which is saving us a lot of headache and drama.

Wears off. Took about 7 years.

In Germany they provide relief from the constant fear your vpn might leak and you’ll receive mail.

They can sting, they just mostly choose not to.

If someone asked me to calculate it in the street I would be blue screening but here it was a multiple choice with the options set in a way that you don’t really have to calculate compound interest at all, you just had to know it exists (over 110€).

Only if you have a tiny dick

Also I think you have a bit of a warped view on what an os update entails for Android devices, maybe because your only comparison is the iPad.

iPads need updates because it’s the only way they can receive bug fixes and new features. On android even system apps can be updated via the play store, and new features can be added to your device via play services without even restarting, you’ll just get a random info one day that says “your device can now do this or that”. (Unless you go without play service ofc).

OS updates for the last few years have just been pretty forgettable stuff (like I can’t even remember one single feature they added with Android 14, I think it was just new clock fonts?)

I don’t think any manufacturer offers more than 5 years os updates. Normally you will still get security updates afterwards but I don’t know if there is any way to see how long exactly beforehand.
If you install lineage or some other rom it would not matter anyways what the official support is. But someone needs to take the time to port it to your device, so the more popular of a device you choose the more likely it is to get ports longer.

Generally I’d recommend looking at what hardware of a popular device fits your needs (size, budget, pen etc) and then just looking at xda to see what roms are available and how easy the flashing process is.

I don’t understand what you mean by saying you don’t want the software bricked in 5 years. You mean bricking while flashing a rom? Usually that’s easy to recover. I don’t think I’ve heard of many people bricking a device unrecoverably lately.

Rotation of an image is stored in the exif data.
When you take an image with your phone in a non upright position the phone will rotate the picture to look like you expect it and write into the exif data.
But the image itself will still be the way it was taken, meaning the data of the image itself is unaltered.

Usually when you send the picture or upload it software will read the exif data and display the image accordingly (rotated). But some sites or some software will ignore or strip the exif data and display the image how it originally looks (non-rotated).

Play service is not an app store.

The green text is not the bullying, the green text is one of the new reasons the kids are getting their heads flushed in the toilet. The bullying has stayed the same, there are just new additional reasons to get bullied.

I use 4 towels as well, big one for body, small ones for hair and hands and tiny one for the face. Last one is more like a washcloth and not a full fledged towel.

Ys Nordic is only released in Japan yet as far as I know.
Ys 8 is a good starting point.
The stories aren’t that connected besides some characters and a lot of Easter eggs / references so you can play them in pretty much any order you want.

Disappointing. I loved the 3ds games and was hoping to get something similar but a bit modernized.

Do iPhones even have a way to add multiple users yet? Last time I checked there was no option, but I haven’t bothered for a while, so did they finally add that?

Don’t know if PS1 counts as old but Valkyrie profile is one of my favorite games and you play as a Valkyrie recruiting fallen warriors and training them up for Valhalla.
Star Ocean 2 (also on PS1) is another one of my favorites and you can choose between a guy or girl at the beginning, which changes the story a bit.
