Been having some really bad skin breakouts of late. Only reason I can think of is more chocolate treats than usual in December... really annoying! 😔 I feel like a bloody teen 🙈

Am starting to resent the whole phrasing of "AI is here now so we have to use it" ...umm no? It's not some bad smell in the room you can't escape - we can absolutely decide not to use and buy into this stuff as much as possible. 🤷‍♂️

Oooooohhhhh.....I forgot this was coming in Dec, yay!
Had a lot of fun with Dragonwilds up to now 😊 Just wish there was dedicated servers already.

This.
Also, collective Happy Birthday to all you December babies, party hard!! 🥳🤘
Remember, solidarity among those who have a December birthday. Do not tolerate any of this "we got you a combined Christmas and birthday present" bullshit. Demand two gifts, as is your right. Settle for nothing less. You're worth it. Well, some of you are.

Spent almost 3 hours today transferring my mother's phone data incl. all apps to the Nord 5. None of the "automatic synching" shenanigans worked and she never remembers crucial passwords 😂 ....

That said, the phone is incredible for just 290 bucks! A very good buy on a budget. 👍
