I think it’s both a pride thing for him plus a “ if we don’t see it or count it it doesn’t exist”. Much like the reporting if bird flu and COVID-19 numbers. So when big bad storms come you’ll have yo sign up for the premium weather alerts, but hey I’m just spitballing here.
You tried friend. Best to just leave this one be. Some people just want to live in their own world and refute reality even when presented overwhelmingly loads of evidence to the contrary.
You tried save your sanity trust me I’ve gone that road with others before it is not worth your time or energy till they are willing and able to hear you.
Jokes aside sometimes I like getting to talk to people who are willing to give be there point of view and might have greater insight or experience IRL with the topic of choice.
Did not know that about CBS either. I appreciate you taking the time in replying though and helping educate this lazy person :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions (:
I am looking at moving to a OS/Rom that is geared towards pricy and thought the pixel was it! Alas, like you stated the pixels future with a custom OS does not seem clear so I was hoping that the fairphone might be it. I definitely have only done surface level research so far ( I’m poor and don’t want to excited yet haha)
What band does it lack? That’s definitely something I would not have thought of till you mentioned battery life. Looks like I got more research to do before I purchase anyways.
Any chance you’ll update this post with a reply on your results for battery life I would be most interested in the effect and if it’s negligible?
My current phone is about 5 or more generations behind. I’m not a photographer or big picture taker so the drawbacks you noticed wouldn’t even be on my radar haha
Appreciate the detail in your response and time again thank you!
Is it pretty “snappy” ? Wondering if there is any lag time or if runs smoothly right away or what settings I got to mess with to minimize responses time.
I understand that sentiment and it’s very much deserved, but a good portion of our fellow countrymen have been literally taught to hate any critical thinking or logic and “look what I’m going to do piss off the left” and honestly our left is pretty center right compared to most of world.
There are of us that are working at it, but honestly we may have to fix how the government has suffered industry capture through deregulation for decades and teaching people (who hopefully will listen) is not going to happen fast at all.
We got a lot of work to do I hope we can, but honestly things aren’t looking the greatest right now and we definitely shouldn’t be taken at our word brill we establish a history of doing the right thing.
It’s going to get worse before it’s gets better the US is fucked at the moment but open for business if you’re a dictator or billionaire class.
The genie may not be able to hi back in the bottle though with the trend of countries going alt-right and the US is definitely not helping on that front either.
We are trying, but seriously don’t count on us in completing that task we are owned by billionaires and tech companies and I’m not sure our government and elected officials are willing to give up on all that sweet “political donations” money unchecked sadly…
My fault for assuming and I so feel you on that last sentence, but looks like I got some cleaning to do though in the hopes that it’s not too late cleaning up the wet dog shit that we keep tracking in. -_-
Shit my bad :( will work on that being on a small screen is no excuse on that front appreciate you reading/wading through my comment haha
P.S. great the username and sorry Canada swear that we are trying to cleanup the dumpster fire that is the US right now (honestly has been for awhile) definitely keep boycotting the US and working on moving away from anything with the US infrastructure.
You’ve always been a great neighbor and friend that we definitely didn’t deserve.
Apologies… embarrassed we couldn’t even put on a friendly face for such a great ally. Please do everything you can to distance yourself from us till we prove we “got our shit” together.
We are definitely are not to be trusted our track record isn’t/wasn’t good in the first place. We are just “mask off” in fascism decline and it’s going to be a shitstorm to clean up, but it’s our mess to clean up and we know no one is coming to us.
Your crazy neighbor 💕 ( hope we get our shit together and we can get on that long road of repairing and doing things right from there but honestly I’m not sure if we can)
Even if you know you’re going to lose a match you still show up to play. Zelensky is playing the game that’s politics and yeah I bet he knows how trump doesn’t give a fuck or care besides the last compliment he received but Trump gets to say yes or no especially to the arms deal was “talked about” for 100 billion so Us gets money and Ukraine gets “NATO 5 security protections” how ever doubtful is going to happen he has to play or at least be there to listen to the and be able to use his for voice for his country’s survival. I get and understand your view and frustrations as from well and if we can see it here “arm chairing” the situation from here I’m sure it’s plenty palatable on what the situation is there on the “ground floor” . Look how levity acted right after the meeting with Putin and everyone reaction who attended meeting after, there faces and tone said it all the US is capitulating to Russia over allies and Ukraine and from the look of things that’s probably not going to change with the tan mango or US foreign policy as brine soon. Hope you don’t take this as me disagreeing with your perspective because if you’re not frustrated and upset you’re not paying attention. I want Ukraine to win and the clock is running on time and support as more countries still move towards the far right with elections results and the US isn’t helping things in that sphere either… sorry about the ramble and long reply and hope you took my reply as a different view on the same situation but hey I’m just a very concerned person with the state of the world right now same as you where our sphere of conserve is global but our influence is very minuscule in comparison. Do what you can from the bottom up locally/politically if you’re able too and that’s going to be on what you consider possible and safe for your own self and loved ones. Shit has been scary and continues too get worse by the day hour it seems at the end of the day we each have to decide our own level of involvement for whatever reason that may be (I’m not trying to hate on any one who cannot voice their opinion because it might put them in danger of being kidnapped by ICE in the US or reprisals that may get you fired or black balled in your work or industry but if you can work either in the shadows or your in a privileged position or class please use your voice for those who cannot or have already been silenced)
As true as that statement is it is very unnerving to see a lot of countries see a rise in the alt-right movements gain footholds and numbers in elections in multiple countries … with we could all agree nazis are bad again ¯(ツ)/¯
Way to go Brazil! Hopefully X.com/Musk takes the lose and Trump doesn’t get involved he seems to be looking for whatever distraction he can use to not get the Trump/Epstein files brought up.
Gourmet take out especially at that sweet $1.50!
