These things aren't deal-breakers they're conveniences for me. It's easy to transfer stuff to a new phone with an SD card, if your old phones screen dies (has happened to me twice over the years) you can still easily move your stuff over to the new phone.

My last phone only had 64gb of storage. I always have some audio-books and podcasts on my phone for when I go to very rural areas with bad reception like the lake. Up until the phone I bought this year with 256gb I would have been always cramped for space without an SD card.

Why use an adapter if you don't have to, that's just one more thing to go wrong or get in the way. I had a pixel for a while and I did use an adapter for my headphones. They were awkwardly placed with the adapter, if the usb port broke because of the headphone adapter being awkwardly placed I couldn't charge the phone. If I broke a headphone jack I'm just inconvenienced.

I don't understand why someone being content using older technology bothers you so much that you want them to defend their choices.

Even if the $800-$1000 phones had those features I wouldn't spend that much on a phone. If only the flagships had those features I'd go without. Thy're nice to have but not must haves.

Do you also get annoyed with people who play retro games or listen to vinyl records? Do you wonder why people drive classic cars or wear analog watches?

If you have 512gb of storage I think you likely paid more for your phone than I have for my last 3 phones combined going back 5 or 6 years.

Decent wired earbuds are $20. Bluetooth earbuds in that price range are terrible and uncomfortable.

Some of us can't or won't spend lots of money on disposable tech like phones.

You consider yourself a power user, I'm just a guy who needs a phone to phone, text and do a few internet tasks like casual games for work downtime.

I don't have anything against people who like having the latest and greatest tech but I don't have that urge or see the need in some cases. I generally don't like being pushed into spending more money with no appreciable gain in functionality.

As they've turned into wish.com over the last few years I've bought less and less from them so I by the end I was mainly paying for the TV service.

I don't see myself gong back either.

After almost 20 years as a Prime subscriber I unsubscribed about a week ago. It was the ads, I put up with a lot of nonsense over the years but the ads were the final insult.

I'm not paying full streaming service prices for a service with ads.

The Posiden Adventure. I must have seen this 20 times growing up in the 80s.

It'll never tell anyone because it'll never be hooked up to the internet.

I loved the movie but I think the studio lost their asses on it financially.

They need to do a full in depth examination of their practices, tell them to spread em and cough.

That heart scene scared grade school aged me as well.

It was after The Last Crusade had been out for a while and was pretty much universally liked. Thats when the people started talking bad about Temple of Dooms goofy scenes and cheesy special effects.

I never thought of that but yikes.

If I remember the show correctly, after the first few episodes he could mostly control when the enhanced senses were in use.
