I looked into my options really carefully when choosing my phone last year. Few things to note, when looking for an Android phone:

  • Make sure it's either a pixel or a Snapdragon powered phone. This just means that if the manufacturer does some stupid stuff, there is a higher probability of your phone having a custom rom.
  • Stay away from Samsung if you want to install custom roms, they are really against it.
  • Pick a manufacturer of good build quality and software updates being stable, some manufacturers just half as them and brick the phone/ damage display/motherboard because they pushed update with wrong voltage.
  • if you want a basic phone and don't really care about the most beautiful photos or do heavy mobile gaming, just pick a cheap phone, it will be more than enough.

The phone I picked was Moto G52, it cost me ~150USD and it is one of the best phone experiences I've had. It lasts me 2-3 days on a charge, mostly because I do close to nothing on it just answering calling/messages and some basic internet surfing. For my purpose, it is better than a top end iPhone/Android phone.

Motorola is quite slow with updates, but the community is great and created and are now maintaing custom roms, which means I get the latest software updates quite regularly. The camera is passable, but the speakers they are loud like really really loud, louder almost all smartphone.

Bonus points: it has a headphone jack.

You can always use context clues. For example you go they for singular and they all for group.

Rather than a screen a good place to mount phone by default which is easy to remove and place would be amazing.

You will be surprised to find that a lot of European nations actually don't give a shit about it. I sometimes proxy to a random European country to access a few websites which are unavailable in my country.

I can't say, OP is probably saying having NONE as pronouns is bad?

If that is it, I will probably take shyguygamer667 side cause it just might be that they are not willing to disclose their pronouns and that is perfectly fine.

I had you till you got to running your blog on google sites. Like not even blogger, but straight up google sites. As someone who tried using google sites for this purpose, I wrote one post and I was like, not doing it, it is too much.

I mean to say that the wet bulb temperature at which most will die is ~31.5°C, the gaurdian report I linked is saying that the 35°C number comes from a 2010 study, whereas the findings of the 2022 study found the number to be much lower ~31.5°C.

Hubs are one of the reasons I pushed my brother to get a ThinkPad for University. He has all the ports he wants, no need to carry a stupid USB hub.

A long shoe horn.

I got it cause my formal shoes are a tight fight. It has been a game changer, it is a whole new experience wearing shoes, even the normal ones.
