I bet most of the people here replying in the comments are typing on what helped pay for that gold plated ass kissing device.
Is this a "you criticize society yet you participate in it" thing?
Ayy yo we got Ben Shapiro on Lemmy? 🤣
Great reply, from your iPhone.
I have an android. I hate them both but at least I can install any application I want.
To any & all Android users: you should install Grayjay. But don't do it from the Play Store because that's the stupid nerfed version.
