??? Multiple people have told you the same thing……
Sounds like you don’t want to admit that you fucked up.
It sounds a lot like you’re the one who is ignoring definitions to bitch and moan 👋
Well sounds is a lot different than being factually incorrect and obtuse like you….
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Phones in general are bigger, in each of those examples, smaller models also exist.
So how does that support your point? Lmfao.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
??? Plenty of people are pointing the same thing out
It’s just you swinging this dude, and I’ve provided proof that you’re wrong, you’ve cherry picked a single definition and I provided multiple separate sources. As well had to explain how the minimalists phone still wouldn’t by definition ever be the “flagship” of its small and has no features.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
As I explained previously, you’re cherry picking definitions to support your point.
Multiple other definitions that I provided you contradict that, and saying the same thing doesn’t suddenly make it true.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
They used to make small flagships.
When, you keep saying that, but flagships have always been large and fancy. Can you provide an example? Because what it seems from every explanation you’ve made in this thread, you just don’t know what the term flagship means…
Sounds like you just need to learn words properly, the only one wrong here is you using an established term incorrectly and are conflating a small phone as a “flagship” which has NEVER been the case. Please provide an example of a flagship being small and compact, I would love to see how you came to fuck this well established term up so horrendously.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
And no phone manufacturer has ever called their small phones their flagships, so for to OP to say they miss them, is them not actually knowing what the term is.
Can you provide an example of a phone that fits OPs definition as being sold as a “flagship”? Because OPs arguing for something that’s never been done before.
Flagships CAN be small, but it’s never been done in history before, still waiting for an example, I’ve asked twice now. Because OPs barking up the wrong tree. That’s the issue here.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Does “fit in your hand” not mean small and compact?
I’m not the one using the term flagship to mean a non flagship phone. You’re trying to change established definitions and conventions.
You want a fancy small phone, no phone manufacturer has ever called a phone that fits that description as a “flagship” so to say you miss the. Is just straight up bullshit and you being an idiot and not using established definitions correctly.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
So you don’t want a flagship, you want a small compact phone with all the fixings. That would no longer be the flagship anymore by using established conventions.
Flagship has specific meanings and you’re ignoring them to bitch and moan.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
So the smallest and worst ship would be the flagship, that’s the defence? Lmfao that makes total sense dude.
How does that mean the smallest and most compact? As my original comment stated, that’s like claiming a cigar boat in the flagship, which no navy would doc even if they were making smaller boats. Their largest and fanciest, would STILL be the flagship of the fleet….
I did read a dictionary, which is why I’m speaking up for OP fucking up what a flagship is meant to be.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
This makes no sense. Large doesn’t mean fancy. Back in the day, making the phone smaller was fancy.
Which has nothing to do with the the historical term “flagship”.
The minimal company’s flagship phone is a minimal phone. It’s their signature phone. The flagship was the ship that had the ranking officer/admiral on it, representing the fleet. Apple, google etc all decided their flagship phone would be huge.
If it’s not the fanciest and most expensive, then by definition and original convention, it’s no longer a flagship phone.
Terms have specific uses, let’s not dilute them to make ourselves feel better. Language IS fluid, but. It when people are obstinate to already preestablished conventions… a small phone will never by definition every be considered a flagship, but bloviate of you want.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
Flagship means the best of the best, of course it’s gonna be large and fancy lmfao.
There’s plenty of phones that fit your niece, but it’s like expecting a cigar boat to be the flagship of the navy dude lol.

It’s dark and night, how can you tell gender?
People are afraid of anything in these situations, but they justify it by using men as an excuse, even though, you wouldn’t tell it’s man or women, until it’s too late anyways….

I wonder if that’s only for the USA, does that apply to other countries as well?

Why do these too small shoes not fit me?
Yeah cars aren’t meant for tall people, entirely unsafe for them in a lot of cases.

Before my time slightly, but I always heard some kids calling collect home to say they are ready to be picked up.

Credit cards have fees and not all business want to pay them. A place by me used to be cash only until 2015 and they finally started taking debit, still no credit.

Atleast on IOS, holding your finger over an image with a QR code will activate the QR code, so he’s not entirely off his rocker dude….

That’s not that cold? Almost any winter gear you buy in Canada will be rated for atleast -30c. It gets that temperature normally without windchill regularly.
In fact, it was just -20c without windchill the last 2 days here.
- Comment on Contributing to the local economy 4 weeks ago:
That’s…. Not that cold? It gets normally down to -32c/f here, and that’s without windchill.

I covered this in my original comment, thanks though I guess.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
You are just ignoring that the installers can be downloaded and saved. Or even just the game directory can continue to work.
Dude, no I am not, my very first comment in this chain talked about the needing to download and store it in a non-degrading way…. Fucking he’ll dude lmfao.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
How can the installers access a file that no longer exists since the servers are shut down and the files can no longer be accessed…?
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
That’s literally the point, it’s a useless argument since it doesn’t fucking matter lmfao.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
And how does that work when they close down and servers close down? Wheter you have a revolve license or not, you still won’t ever be able to access the game…,
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
I didn’t know IKEA made video games?
And why does that matter? When they go out of business you can’t download even if you do or don’t have a license.
That’s why it matters.
Because you now have a game that you don’t need a license that you still won’t be able to access or play? So how does that make a single fucking difference lmfao.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
That’s my point… it literally doesn’t matter that they can revoke you license or not, when the servers are down, you’re fucked regardless.
- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
That’s only if you download the game and store it in a way that won’t degrade, when their servers are offline, you can’t download it anymore…,
