There is demand though, it's just not as high. They could make a smaller number of them just to capture the people who want it. Same goes for all the other features that are hard to find on a phone anymore. I think a lot of people are confusing "lack of demand" for "the features they want aren't available so they just buy whatever the corporations are jamming down their throat when they need a new phone". I for one haven't purchased a new phone since 2016 because there's no option that has more features than my current one. If it were to break I would be forced to buy a new shittier phone that can't do everything I want.

I don't understand the obsession with thinness. My phone has a case on it and already is like 2x as thick as a current phone and it's fine. If anything it makes it easier to hold on to and type on. While I don't care about having a physical keyboard, there's a lot of other stuff they could do if they didn't care so much about making it as thin as possible.

My brother's wife bought me a pair a couple years ago and I was really skeptical but they are great. They also help me not get stressed out when I'm around loud children which was another big issue for me. I actually enjoy going to family gatherings now and don't have to step away to calm my nerves every 30 minutes or so.

Same. I hate eating with other people unless theirs a loud tv/music in the background. I have found that those loop earplugs help with it at least but then you have to answer questions about what those are.

The Star Wars OT. Probably ROTJ specifically. That was like an every weekend thing when I was a kid.

My job involves going out to sites to install equipment sometimes. This means as long as I'm walking out with a box in my hand I can leave whenever I want. My boss doesn't care where I am as long as things get done.

That it's 7 years old and I can't find a replacement that isn't a downgrade in functionality.

Last one I had was when I turned 21. Which was great, but yea I've been lucky to get a dinner out since then.

A long time ago. Now I just do it on the side but knowing how to fix cars has always been a good "in" to get girls to talk to me but from there I still had to actually get them to go out with me and see where it went. It's not like I was just straight up trading car repairs for sex.

It's not totally de-valued. Being able to fix cars has gotten me laid more than probably anything else.

Yea, that's how mine is too. I fucking hate this thing. At least with mine there's separate lights that are not controlled by the fan I can use.

Ceiling fans should all have physical controls. Shitty 4 button remotes that don't even work half the time don't cut it.
