Have phones gotten any new exciting features in a while?
I remember enjoying upgrading my phone in the aughts and early tens, but it seems like most devices have plateaued and they're all pretty much the same now.
The exception being foldables, but I'm not really sure that's something I want or would use fully.
Tangentially, whose idea was it that the day starts and ends at some arbitrary point in the middle of the night, not when the sun goes down? Like hello, sun is gone, day is over
Oh and no emails, boss, sorry, just like with Pesach, there's a 4 drink minimum.
What're you talking about? Hanukkah starts on the 25th of Kislev every year. It's Christmas that shifts about all over the place! Luckily, this year it's easy to remember as it also happens on the 25th of Kislev.
Though you wouldn't know it's one day from going to the stores! It feels like Christmas starts as early as the middle of Tishri these days!
Every single Jewish holiday is crucial to our faith and its the kind of disrespect I've become accustomed to that I have to be at work, today, on Mishuga Tuesday.
A whole new kind of low quality, unimaginative, worthless crap is headed our way. Hurrah!
That's a damn good guess!
I was confused watching Reading Rainbow because I didn't understand how a blind man could be reading to me.
Lil bonus, I know first hand why floppy disks are called that, but only because my dad had some old games.
They're not a Russian operative, they're using Nazi as shorthand for Zionist in an attempt to point out that Israel's actions in Palestine are utterly abhorrent and the genocide happening there should be regarded with similar disdain as the genocides of Nazi Germany and Harris has taken a hardline stance of continuing US military support to Israel.
But it's a clumsy shorthand, it's ineffective in communicating to American voters, as it lumps two different groups of white supremacists together when there's material distinctions that affect people living in America.
It's meant to be glib against Israelis who would shudder at being compared to the genociders of their ancestors, but it isn't Israelis voting in this election, so it mostly comes off as overly bitter.
It's an easy trap to fall into as a leftist in America, as there's so much abhorrently wrong with our political system, but that kind of vitriol isn't often pragmatic and using disdainful shorthand isn't useful in radicalizing the plurality of Americans necessary to revolutionize politics in this country.
P.S., For what it's worth, treefrog, I largely agree with you, but you gotta meet people where they are, not where you want em to be. I think you'll find that many people here are not folks who "just want to get back to brunch", this was a far more applicable concept in previous elections, but rather they're terrified of what harm could come from a second Trump term at home with regards to climate, economic (workers rights, etc.) and social policies targeting Muslims, POC, and LGBTQ people. What's happening in Palestine is so utterly vile and it's a gut wretchingly sad truth that no candidate that can win will make a significant difference on US policy towards Israel and the Palestinians. Harris should be called out on that. Lumping people who are going to begrudgingly vote against Trump for her as Nazi sympathizers just isn't useful rhetoric.
I'd love to engage you in your point but that would make both of us sound like complete idiots.
Her smoking pot herself is irrelevant, it's bad that people were prosecuted for using drugs.
The hypocrisy doesn't matter, all politicians are lying hypocrites, I'm voting for the one that ain't supported by Nazis trying to drag America backwards a hundred years.
I've got a flagship Samsung device from 2020. The screen has cracked in an unimportant way on the front and over one of the camera housings on the back, but I can't even tell which camera is affected by it, so I guess I didn't need that one anyway.
Hate the camera bumps. Sucks that those became standard.
I was looking into getting a new phone but it just seems like a waste of money.
The Huawei devices look good and for a fair price, but I can't even get them in the USA. So... I guess I keep this?
The foldable looks kinda useful for reading and in use with a stylus, but they're so much money... and I bet that thing gets dust in it and scratches easily.
