If I was SK, I would be concerned about what Putin gave NK for the troops.

I’m almost 50, and this hits hard. So many things from my youth have blended together. Almost nothing from before I was 10 now.

That is one thing I do like about the phone in my pocket. I have a constant stream of photos now, of mine and my family’s life. It’s not just a random photo of a birthday here or there that survives, but an almost living journal.

Sorry, don’t mean to be down, but back to the original story…

I actually didn’t remember about the F-14 and the Sparrow missile and thought you were just thinking of the aircraft that ran into its own bullets. I wrote my reply that way and thought, maybe I should actually do some research because maybe I don’t have the best memory, lol.

So you helped me remember too.

I think you might be conflating with this story.

The F-14 was testing the missile launch system, and the engineers failed to consider all the factors of the test missile and the system, causing it to not successfully clear the aircraft on launch, damaging the aircraft. Not really shooting itself down, or a failure of the F-14 design.

But to your real point, yeah, shit happens.

Thank you!

Maine Coons and NFC’s are the best looking cats.

When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it’s collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.

They could say anything and we would not know what the real truth was, so of course they would say something that would cast a poor light on Israel…

eh, at this point I don’t give a shit. Fuck Bibi in his genocidal ass.

You are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, huh?

You can train your subconscious! Well, at least influence it’s decisions. Videogames are a great example. Trained reaction/response. Repeated response to similar stimulus can create a trained subconscious response.

However, I have difficulty, especially now that I’m older, where subconscious and conscious will compete and I will lose acuity of what I actually did.

That and my memory is getting worse. :/

Nope. Would 't mind if Khamenei and Netanyahu both took a .50 cal to the forehead though.

But people like you are just like a bunch of people over here. You just want to force everyone into a pigeonhole that makes you feel better about yourself and your ideology.

People are sheep and easily manipulated. That is what Netanyahu is doing, that is what Khamenei is doing, and are you manipulating or one of the manipulated?

What you said:

“the battery of the Pixel sucks balls.”

I was shocked because I took you at face value and thought maybe I got lucky with mine.

Then you started talking shit about your phone working for weeks at a time and and I thought, “Who has a smartphone that works for weeks at a time without charging?”

So I looked it up. You basically have a special use phone with a battery twice the size of everyone else’s. Then you get on a thread talking about Graphene OS and say, “Pixel batteries sucks balls.”

Then to try and support your argument, you pull up a review that just says it “doesn’t quite live up to the standard”

From the article YOU posted:

“The average result for smartphones on our test is to post a time that’s just shy of 10 hours.”

The Pixel 8…posted a time of 9 hours and 50 minutes on our test."

So the worse thing you can say is the Pixel’s batteries are average.

So like a typical redditor, you’re just shooting your bitch mouth off, half cocked, spouting bullshit, pretending you know what you’re talking about.

If you were really trying to be informative, you would have said something along the lines of, “There are phones that are designed to have much longer battery life. But oh yeah, almost every other feature will be worse.”

But you said, “PIXEL BATTERIES SUCK BALLS”, and then provide a review that places them right at the average.

You started this conversation. Think about that next time you want to post something stupid

Man, if my work would let me purchase my travel on it too, instead of the company card… I’d be Global Services for sure.

For the record, I looked it up. The pixel falls in line with most other mainstream phones. Depending on the model it can be in the lower half, sometimes upper half, but always top ten.

Your phone seems to be specifically designed for ruggedness and battery life.

In fact of all the reviews I can find, about your phone they essentially say: it works ok as a phone but hey, I can throw it against a wall and it has awesome battery life.

So calling out the Pixel specifically and using the Oukitel as a metric is just straight up fuckery.

That’s the kind of crap that needs to be left on Reddit. Go back there to post your gatekeeping bullshit.

I disagree. I think that claiming something “sucks balls” because it will only last two days of normal use before dying, if you don’t charge it all all, is absolutely ludicrous.

If I just text and leave my screen dim, I could get a whole week out of my phone. But that’s not why I got a smart phone. I got a smart phone so I could use it, not see how long I could get the battery to last.

There is no what about female circumcision. There is nothing controversial about it. It IS mutilation.

Great. I don’t need that. That’s not even close to a selling point.

I guess if I needed to hike without a power source for a week, it would be.

I’ve almost never had an issue. Like ever, unless I forget to set my phone on a charger when I went to bed. And even then, it would just be in the single digits by the end of the second night.

I think I’ve had my phone die on me twice since I’ve had it (Pixel 6 Pro).

All of my points have been vibes?

They were specific examples.

Lol, you’re a fucking dumbass that will refuse to listen to any argument that might actually cast doubt on your fantasy.

It’s called cognitive dissonance and makes you no better than a trumplican.

Capitalism sucks for the same reason Communism sucks. For the same reason Libertarianism would REALLY fucking suck.

Because people fucking suck.

People will always abuse the power they have to keep/accrue more of it.

Look at unions. Absolutely necessary for workers to unite and fight being taken advantage of by the companies who see them as nothing more than a number on a sheet. But then they can become the problem. (Look at the police unions for a perfect example.)

Religion. It was a great tool that helped raise civilization from small tribes. It created ethical mores that cemented the value of the individual. Then the ones that became powerful went on to become institutions of manipulation and control

There needs to be a balance and Communism is not it.

The original commenter is right. This is a stupid meme.
