My 10 year old Dell laptop is still pretty useful and I plan on using it for a few more years. You might not still be happy with your 8gb of ram in 2030. If the M1 laptops were upgradable people would have less of an issue.

All of the good knives i have say to only hand wash them.

Dad liked Star Trek so I watched with him since I was 3 or 4 years old. I became a much bigger fan when I had a job with odd hours and watched DS9 reruns at night in the mid 90s.

We don’t have a local deli here in small town mid America unless you count the deli counter at the supermarket.

They’re putting fentanyl in the cocaine now.

SOONER!

It’s not just you. I almost always get fries that I think have been mostly cooked earlier then dunked in the fryer for a warm up before they serve them.

McDonalds pre 90s fries, McDonalds fried apple and cherry pies, McDonalds pre-90s shakes, Dairy Queen’s Queen burger, Sonics pre 2000s burgers and the Sonic fish sandwich.

Sonic still has those.

Honestly not sure. I don’t watch a whole lot of animation these days.

White/peach is the universally accepted default for drawn or animated people in general, not emojis. Simpsons yellow is what they use for white people. It’s still using white person color for the default.

Universally accepted default for drawn or animated people in general, not emojis. Simpsons yellow is what they use for white people.

Most white people expect peach color/white to be the universally accepted default and everyone should just not think about it because they themselves rarely have to think about representation.

White people in majority white countries rarely experience lack of representation so they don’t think its a big deal.

If medium brown was the default lots of people would be losing their minds with rage and y’all know it.

TV, movie and book discussion communities aren’t very active around here.

These things aren’t deal-breakers they’re conveniences for me. It’s easy to transfer stuff to a new phone with an SD card, if your old phones screen dies (has happened to me twice over the years) you can still easily move your stuff over to the new phone.

My last phone only had 64gb of storage. I always have some audio-books and podcasts on my phone for when I go to very rural areas with bad reception like the lake. Up until the phone I bought this year with 256gb I would have been always cramped for space without an SD card.

Why use an adapter if you don’t have to, that’s just one more thing to go wrong or get in the way. I had a pixel for a while and I did use an adapter for my headphones. They were awkwardly placed with the adapter, if the usb port broke because of the headphone adapter being awkwardly placed I couldn’t charge the phone. If I broke a headphone jack I’m just inconvenienced.

I don’t understand why someone being content using older technology bothers you so much that you want them to defend their choices.

Even if the $800-$1000 phones had those features I wouldn’t spend that much on a phone. If only the flagships had those features I’d go without. Thy’re nice to have but not must haves.

Do you also get annoyed with people who play retro games or listen to vinyl records? Do you wonder why people drive classic cars or wear analog watches?

If you have 512gb of storage I think you likely paid more for your phone than I have for my last 3 phones combined going back 5 or 6 years.

Decent wired earbuds are $20. Bluetooth earbuds in that price range are terrible and uncomfortable.

Some of us can’t or won’t spend lots of money on disposable tech like phones.

You consider yourself a power user, I’m just a guy who needs a phone to phone, text and do a few internet tasks like casual games for work downtime.

I don’t have anything against people who like having the latest and greatest tech but I don’t have that urge or see the need in some cases. I generally don’t like being pushed into spending more money with no appreciable gain in functionality.

Taking sand to the beach.

That’s a great story, it’s nice hearing about people being treated well by famous people. Thanks for sharing.

As they’ve turned into wish.com over the last few years I’ve bought less and less from them so I by the end I was mainly paying for the TV service.

I don’t see myself gong back either.

If I were Mitt I would immediately transfer everything I own to rockandsock.

It’s really easy to say what you’d hypothetically do in someone else’s place isn’t it?
