Excellent picture quality. I’ll never connect it to the internet. No usage for the smart side of it but the image quality is awesome!
- Comment on how are you able to care more about your job itself than the people at your job? 1 week ago:
Or just copying and pasting, and then changing up the wording, a little bit to make it look like it was somebody else’s post
- Comment on My friend exposed a guy for bad stuff. Now he's created a site where he archives everything my friend posts online & deliberately twists it to make her look bad/discredit her. What should she do? 1 week ago:
Call an attorney to see if there is anything that can be done.

I don’t even pay you that much for a gaming tower computer. Yeah I agree it insane. There’s no way I pay that for a simple phone.
- Comment on What is the difference between these 3 sets of movies? 2 weeks ago:
While I understand what you are saying in both replies. But here’s the thing. I’m asking why the different prices because I’ve read through all three and can’t figure out the differences. That’s why I’m asking why the different prices ( in other words what am I getting or not getting that was causing the price difference?) but others have already answered the question.
- Comment on What is the difference between these 3 sets of movies? 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, I think that’s bad advice. Maybe I actually do want the more expensive one because maybe it’s got deleted scenes. But without knowing thedifference, how would I know which one to buy?

They can stick that contract where the sun doesn’t shine. There is zero chance I’d sign it. They can remove that clause or they can remove themselves… their choice.

- Comment on How difficult would it be to live in a modern-day developed country without a smartphone? 5 weeks ago:
The banking side I refuse to use their apps. Either they have a good website that works for a computer or I don’t bank with them. Their loss if they can’t figure out how to build a website.
The authentication services. For like government services. Thank God, there’s nothing around me that does something like that. Or at least nothing that I’ve run . But I guess there is a day like that where I’m going to be screwed on that end. Again make the website work, right and allow me to authenticate somewhere else.
The public transport, I could see a day and age where that might be a problem for me.
Digital maps and route planners, stand on GPS is do exist, but yeah, that one without a smart phone really sucks.
And yes, I do have a smart phone.
- Comment on I did not look up how progressive lenses really work before getting some. 5 weeks ago:
They are super hard to get properly aligned. The absolute vast majority of people that work in eye glass shops have ZERO clue on how to set them up. They will claim until they die that they know how to do it. They don’t have a clue. And they don’t understand that. That’s the real problem. They think they know and they don’t.
And the more sensitive your eyes are to minute changes(tiny changes). The problem gets many times worse.
The best I can say is go to one person have them keep working on it. Do not let anybody else touch them. Keep working the same person. If you realize this person can’t get them right and it could take several visits by the way. Then blacklist that person and go to the next person in the same shop. Repeat this until you’ve gone through everybody in the same shop. Then go to the next shop and start over. Keep doing this until youcan find somebody who has a clue. It’s going to take a while. Trust me. I have exactly one person in Town that he can do it. By the way, my city is about 60,000 people in just this town. 60,000 population that is. And there are quite a few eyeglass places in town.
To those who are reading this, if you work in eyeglass shops, and you’re sitting there thinking, but everybody in my shop is really good. Then you have no what’s going on. And you’re part of the problem. Because if you’re thinking, everybody in your shop can do it that means nobody in your shop can do it.
Think of it this way. Imagine everybody on a baseball team says I am really great and everybody my team is really great. Then your entire team sucks. Because in every team, there are people who are really, really good and people are mediocre and people are bad. So if you honestly believe that, everybody in your team is really really good then you’re clueless.
So I guess the best advice I can give to the original poster is keep trying with different people and try to find somebody’s good. Or go to bifocals.

I run a business. If my phone rings and I don’t answer the customer is probably calling the next business. That’s not good for me.
- Comment on Neighbors take back Southeast Portland street, replacing RVs with community garden 2 months ago:
True. But what about the meth lab that burnt down or the prostitution rv? Or the garbage?
- Comment on Neighbors take back Southeast Portland street, replacing RVs with community garden 2 months ago:
In the video she talks about how one was a meth lab that literally burnt down. Another was used for prostitution. Directly across the street from someone’s house where they had little kids. People were just dumping trash (shown in video).

- Comment on If you could have any vision-related superpower, what would it be? 2 months ago:
Future vision. Hello stock market. They can kick me out of a casino for winning too much but they can’t really do anything if I’m making too much money in the stock market. Even if they tried to claim insider trading or market manipulation or whatever they still have to prove it in a courtroom. They fail because I’d have attorneys because even a halfway decent attorney would win that one. I wouldn’t even have to claim my future vision I could just claim i’m just picking the stocks. They’d have to prove that I’m doing something else.
