  • 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


  • 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.







  • 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.

    My dentist disagrees. He recommends moderation, but says it is not harmful, much less dangerous.

    I do it myself, about once a year, and I don’t have any issues at all.

    My dentist said I could do it more often if I felt I needed to, 3-4 times a year, and my enamel would be fine, as long as I followed the directions.

    I tried googling it and found no source that corroborated your statement. (I did find a Mayo Clinic and NYTimes article that both support my dentist’s claim.)

    I’m willing to listen if you can provide an article, but your “objectively wrong” comment seems a little, well, objectively wrong.



  • I still think in words and images, but there is no voice.

    Something else that came up in previous discussions. I remember emotional response more than specific things. For example, my wife can remember what we wore, what we ate, and other specifics, of a date we had years ago. I barely remember even the location, but I can easily recall that I was happy about the date, but there was some mild frustration early on, something about the restaurant, but then feeling better about it later.

    I say this and my wife says, “Oh yeah, we were annoyed because we had reservations but still had to wait 20 minutes, but then we were given an appetizer.”

    However, before my comments, she couldn’t recall if we liked the place or not.

    I’ll remember if I liked someone, but not why or even their name.
