5 days agoWeird how these kind of giant mistakes can be released. Is there no testing being done before release?

You might think so, but the actual lyric is “this”

Inaccurate to the point of being untrue. There are some people that won’t be good back to you, but the large LARGE majority of people will be nice to you if you’re nice to them.
There’s a kernel of truth in there, but here it’s worded as an incorrect statement. I believe the intent of the message is to say something like -
“There are some people who won’t be nice to you no matter how many times you are nice to them. So don’t waste your life energy trying to win them over.”
8·12 days agoIt makes total sense to me. A phone case is just a cheap piece of plastic that’s made using cheap mold-manufacturing, and cases last for the entire life of the phone, sometimes even living on through a couple of phone lifetimes.
But screen protectors have to be more rigorously designed, - making sure that the material works well between finger and each particular touchscreen, and it’s made using relatively much more expensive manufacturing processes like curved glass cutting, and people have to replace them every once in awhile because the purpose of a screen protector is to take all the damage that otherwise would’ve happened to your screen.
That doesn’t match my experience with phone hardware. Everyone i know has a bunch of old phones that’ve been handed down to kids and even more sitting in junk drawers, because they all still work. Yes a couple of them have cracked screens, but even with those the only reason why the screen wasn’t repaired is because people wanted or already had a newer phone.
Software is a totally different matter though. The OS and apps stop getting updates at some point even though the hardware is still totally capable of doing what most people want their phone to do. And even worse, many companies don’t allow a phone to revert to an older OS version, so the company pushes out an update that slows the phone down and then there’s no way to fix that.
The HARDWARE isn’t designed to fail, because the SOFTWARE is designed to let the company force the device to fail at whatever exact moment the company later decides on.
Hm, got a source for that? It’s not hard to believe, but I’d need a source before i do
I bet that’s a slightly unfair representation of what it actually looked like. Graphics back then were purposely designed for how they would look on CRT tvs which add a lot of specific distortions to images. So taking a screenshot of a game running in an emulator without using a high quality crt filter added to the image will be a very untrue representation of what the game actually looked like.
(Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it actually looked great when displayed correctly, but i am saying it would’ve looked considerably better than this emulator screenshot)
How is that different than a pillow that already comes pre-built with less stuffing in it?
Throw pillows. Yes, i mean like the kind you toss on the sides of a sofa
Magic solution for me? Throw pillows. Meaning like standard decorative pillows you toss onto the side of a sofa. They’re soooo much more comfy and ergonomic for me
EDIT
These are the general kind i mean
Huh? No one said Elvis didn’t serve in the army
I didn’t say it was a scam by Elvis, I said it was a scam by his manager. Read the whole article, it clearly was. The manager convinced the selective service to immediately draft Elvis before his number came up, lying to them that Elvis would be a performer for the army, but then after he was drafted he convinced Elvis not to be an army performer and instead go into the regular army, even though Elvis didn’t want to. Per the article, the manager did this specifically to make more money from Elvis’s career
It was all a scam setup by his manager. He was never gonna wind up anywhere remotely near a battle

If ONLY he would write something so intelligently tongue in cheek. Sadly he isn’t remotely capable of this
I’m not being pedantic, you just don’t know what the word means.
That’s literally what reporting means. You don’t have to be a news outlet to do a report.
Yes, you’re really the one here contributing to the topical discussion 🙄
This is not me.
