Yep. :)
First I just wanna say, I appreciate the joke.
I can't speak for other countries but, in numerous states in the US, it is illegal to "incite fear" of bodily harm, even as a joke or prank. One common example is brake-checking other vehicles on the road. Another example could be placing "caution minefield" signs on your lawn to deter pet owners allowing their animals to poop on your lawn, etc.
I've tasted friendship (Ha-ha)
I've tasted you (Oh no)
I've tasted dying and it tasted good
I've tasted heartbreak (Wah)
I've tasted food (Uh oh)
I've tasted dying and it tasted goodBut that's dessert
You can have it when the dinner is gone
But that's dessert (Uh-hoo-ah-oh-ah-oh)
But that's dessert
You can have it when the dinner is gone
So put it down
The sperm must've been like "hey egg, you take all the physical traits and I'll take the mental."
Don't be afraid to enter the water knowing that you are not going to swim forever.
"No mames" is a slang phrase in Spanish which is used to mean "no way" or "you’re kidding me," but with a crude connotation, similar to "no f—ing way" in English.
Google Translate shows it as being more vulgar:
Edward Snowden did something very similar to this while working as a sysadmin in order to obtain access to many systems he otherwise would not have access to. It was internally dubbed the "password roundup."

Yet the stiff suspension of the Chevy Silverado 2500HD is barely tolerable over bumps and potholes until there's about 1000lb of payload.
I transported a Christmas tree in a NC1 Miata a couple times. Got a few looks. :)
I can add a little context and a few counterpoints:
Purism repeatedly delayed their phone for years
Many crowdfunded devices are delayed for years, many of which are never released. The global pandemic and chip shortage certainly did not help move things along any faster.
charged exorbitant amounts for it compared to their competitors
Purism also funded/developed phosh and many other libraries which allow mobile Linux to be where it is today. Competitors are mainly hardware vendors and rely heavily on community support, many of which never provide any financial support or direct contributions toward FOSS development.
changed their refund policy
Purism certainly could have done a better job at proactively constructing a more clear and comprehensive refund policy, clarifying crowdfunding vs pre-order (and what is meant by "pre-order"), etc. Purism also could have done a better job being transparent and communicative about its refund queue.
The Librem 5 is a scam
Despite the phone taking much longer to release than anticipated, it was eventually released. How is that a scam?
a few hours of battery life
This is not the common trend. Many software improvements have been developed since, and most users report much more than "a few hours" of battery life - especially with auto-suspend enabled.
a 720p IPS display
A higher resolution would consume more power, thus exacerbating your previous complaint.
no waterproofing
The Librem 5 uses removable WWAN and WLAN/BT modules, as well as a removable battery. Waterproofing would require a fully sealed system which would be much less user-serviceable.
i.MX8M CPU, 3 GB of RAM
Rockchip, Allwinner, and NXP chips have the best mainline Linux support for any FOSS-focused Linux device. 3 GB is the memory limit for this CPU, which is often used in commercial/industrial/automotive environments.
they apparently don’t know the abbreviation for megapixel is ‘MP’, not ‘Mpx’, which is kind of embarrassing
Purism also hires staff across the globe, and this abbreviation may differ within the author's country.
The PureOS subscription (at any tier) is an optional subscription to help fund PureOS and mobile Linux development. It is not a fee to use the OS. PureOS is still FOSS.
I'm fond of the Phand.
