It's not wrong, it's just generally offensive since colloquially "it" refers to objects rather than a individual.

And as it follows, "it" is used as a insulting term when people want to dehumanize something.

Also it's "They go" and "I go", perfectly serviceable for singular use.

I like to categorize my apps. In Nova I have them divided into Web / Media / Games / Tools / System and I can swipe between each page (horizontally) of them. I use quite a few apps to do a lot of things tho, so *shrug.

I also really like the Sesame search integration, Lawnchairs adaption of Pixel Launchers is good. But there is style and behavior customization that Nova offers that Lawnchair doesn't.

I am pretty particular about making my phone just look and behave the way I want it, of course it changes over time as phones and apps get better but yeah.... It's largely why I preferred Android from the start and have stuck with it

Lol nah. I tried it recently. Lawnchair is lacking in so much customization compared to Nova it's kind of appalling to compare them imo.

That being said, if you are ok with the Pixel launcher and pretty basic / generic customizations Lawnchair is a pretty awesome app.

So you're in the 1%. Cause if you're not that's blatantly incorrect.

What a weirdly divisive article title for such an obvious conclusion to the study. People who have less of something get more value when getting the same amount of people who already have some...

Do you have to clean it out after every "batch"? Or can you utilize the past brine to make more?

That's the case in doing it too early in animals as well, especially noticable in larger breeds. There's been a longtime pushback for dogs to get spayed / neutered at later ages, than one size fits all.

Also there are other interesting studies that differ between humans and animals, such as the lifespan of animals that are neutered / spayed tends to be longer than the other way around, and supposedly in humans it's the opposite.

I didn't do a ton of vetting when I was researching the information though, so I don't know how well the studies were controlled and what they accounted for.

Edit: Also some vets do offer vasectomies as an alternative to neutering, but it is usually far more expensive.

Ah, so you're a troll. First one I've run into on an Activitypub platform. Congrats enjoy your free cookie.

And? I'd say less than 1% pirate. I can throw in random unfounded metrics too. Still doesn't change the point. Just because you don't doesn't mean someone else won't. Which again isn't even the point of the article.

The point is someone could backup their game and sell it. The buyer being unaware it would ban their console.

It's kind of condescending to assume everyone does the same thing you do. Even if it's a majority.

Or are you assuming that no one backs up media for the sake of backing it up? Cause that's... pretty nearsighted.
