- Comment on There's No Reason to Buy a New Phone Anymore 1 day ago:
About a year ago I bought a ulefone armour 29, the first phone I’ve been excited about since 10 years at least.
Its has all the standard features like a 50 mpixel camera, etc but it also has a 20.000+ mAh battery that lasts a week, it has a real FLIR infra red camera which works quite well, a night vision camera, a huge LED light bank that can light up a complete garden or burn out youtbeye balls if you stare into it. It has a small display on the back that can show a clock or compass or camera display even, without using the main screen. It also has emergency red blue flash lights that can make someone think you’re police if you put it on your dashboard.
Its also huge and heavy, 700+ grams. Its built like a tank and I’ve only been able to find one protection case for it as it kinda sorta doesn’t really need one. Hell, this thing can be used as a self defense weapon of someone attacks you. At night, with a single button I activate that light and my attacker will not break able to see anything for minutes and a single smack in the face with this thing will make you reconsider life choices.
Yeah, most of these features are semi useful at best but boy is it fun for a nerd to use it.
Its also a great conversation piece. Anytime I pull this monster out, people look, and the questions start.
My next phone will need to have at least all these features and more. Add a UV camera, add a Geiger counter, add whatever feature you can think of. That will make me buy a nre phone again, nothing else will.

Make that 20+ years here. Hell, 30+ years. I can’t remeber ever buying something because I saw a commercial for it. The one thing, maybe, was a CD that I bought after hearing a commercial for it on TV, yeah, about 30+ years ago

Americans … protesting
You’re kidding, right? If Americans are incapable of doing anything, its protesting. And don’t tell me about the sad “no kings” protests, that was nothing.
I know that many Americans, maybe even most, don’t agree with US policies, but that is the problem: you’ve allowed a tiny rich minority to abuse your and other countries for well over a century and you haven’t done shit to stop that. Its gone on for so long that most left wing people in the USA are still having right wing ideas because you dont even know better

You do understand that many of the claims made about what AI can do ate extremely overstated at best?
AI companies have an extreme circular investment scheme going on and for the bilkuins invested with only a fraction of the running cost coming in, even investors are starting to get itchy. I give AI a full 6 more months before the entire bubble (or ponzi scheme even, at this point) pops and will come crashing down, taking enyitr economies with it.
- Comment on Uber’s Strategy for Fighting Sexual Assault Suits: ‘What Were You Wearing?’ 2 weeks ago:
Ms. Silverberg also probed Ms. Doe’s childhood, asking if she had felt abandoned by her father or degraded by her mother.
She pushed Ms. Doe for details about consensual sex and asked whether she had previously been sexually abused or had sex in exchange for money. That is when her lawyer ended the deposition.
It is extremely hard not to feel like ms. Silverberg should get some personal experience on how it is to he raped. Fuck all of this, this woman should be disbarred. This has nothing to do with justice, this is just setting an example: you get raped because of us? Try and hold us responsible for our actions and we will destroy you

The cost of AI to do all this will be higher than any profits they could possibly make, but the managers who came up with this shot already committed and in the end they can just put that cost on the consumers anyway

America has been punching and kicking countless countries since WWII, causing thousands if not millions of deaths (Iraqi “freedom” alone caused like 300.000 Iraqi deaths IIRC) and the second that somebody punches back and gives them a bloody nose its all crying and needing to make 50 movies about the heroes of that day, and of course it was immediately used to implement the “patriot” act (hint, it has shit to do with patriotism and everything with making the IS an autocratic state)
I get it, of course. For the individuals that died or were injured that day, it’s a tragedy, but as a country? They completely deserved it and much, much more

So, again
Every time antisemitism comes up these days it comes basically from the Israeli government, the IDF, or some Israeli organization.
Seriously, Israel, the IDF and these organizations are by far the biggest generators and spreaders of antisemitism

Okay
You do understand that the US is a spectacular outlier in the world when it comes to guns, right? Most people in the world look at that country and its gun problems and won’t understand what the fuck is happening there because frankly, its dumb.
I’m not trying to gotcha you or anything, I’m just saying that I’m reading some of these gun comments and I just feel so happy that I live in a normal country. The constant fear for some idiot or psycho with a gun sounds like a horror movie to me.
And yes, with all possible respect: to me, pro gun people sound like… Lets call it less intelligent. Instead of focusing on solving the problems out there, you only focus on combatting the symptoms. Its like you’re trying to kill cancer by giving it more cancers.
Has adding millions of guns made the US any safer? I live in Mexico and mind you, I feel safe here. With the drug war still going on I still feel a thousand times safer here than anywhere in the US. On that note, thanks US, for sending all those guns to Mexico, you’ve made it so much “safer” here!
Fuck everything about guns

Not a woman here but coning from my wife: fuck yes, women enjoy sex and a lot of it. When she comes, she screams every time.
If sexual intercourse isn’t pleasurable for you, or even painful, you may wnat to consult with a physician tonfigurr out what could cause your discomfort or pain, and to try and fix it
Sex is (and should be) awesome and amazing for everyone. I feel you’re missing out on something wonderful and hope that you’ll be able to fix this issue.
Beat wishes!
