They’ll survive. They’re cars might not…

Nobody will die , so I’m not sure what you’re saying.

I’ve been in the situation plenty as a driver and if you don’t know how to handle it, destroy your driver’s license.

Jesus fucking Christ.

You people have the privilege of being able to legally drive on public roads… FFS.

You’re not wrong. I’d say this post is LAMF adjacent. Not directly LAMF.

Weird how language works. There’s so many words for so many things but I certainly can’t think of anything that could express “permanently paused” in a better, more concise way…

/s (if it wasn’t obvious)

Reporter, asks a specific question…

The goddamned president of the United States of America: you’re a dumdum.

Yep. That seems about right after everything that’s happened up to now.

This is exactly what I was trying to say. Someone single making $200k might think, well, I’m not struggling at all, maybe I’m on the rich side?.. No, they wouldn’t be rich there either.

$200k/yr is nothing compared to the fat cats on top.

Even double that, you’re still much much closer to begging for quarters in the go station than deciding what yacht to buy next…

The amount of money the rich have extorted from the rest of us is unfathomable.

🛩️🛩️

Woof.

Wow, that’s a dick move before the pregnant wife.

Most of that stuff can be picked up for $20 or less, often much less.

Good luck finding a $20 turkey, nevermind a ham, nor cooking it.

You’re completely justified by being annoyed. I’d be fucking pissed.

Middle class is gone. You’re either extremely rich, or you’re down in the dirt with us poors.

If you’re not sure which camp you’re in, welcome to the fold.

Oddly specific.

I hope you’re living your best life just to spite her.

You can’t see it, but more people disagree with you than agree with you.

Just FYI.

You’re entitled to your opinion, and you like what you like. So don’t worry, be happy.

I’m the same. Went from the Nexus 5x to the pixel, to the pixel 4, to the pixel 7.

I didn’t really like the 5x, they screwed up on that one. Went to the 4 because the pixel wouldn’t get updates anymore, went to the 7 because the 4 lost battery capacity and the local shop I usually use to replace my pixel batteries got bought out by dickheads… They refused to ship a battery in for me, I couldn’t find another shop that would do it, so I just got the 7.

The 7 is still going strong. We’ll see how much longer it lasts though. I expect to replace it sometime next year, but I might go with a used 9 rather than a new 10/11 or something.

Nothing wrong with that. I might get a pixel 9 second hand to replace my 7 when it finally goes.

Why would I need more? The 9 has what? 5+ years of updates that Google has committed to… So I’ll still have ~4 years of security updates if I switch right now.

As is right.

The ability to repair your stuff has been all but eliminated. Just throw it away and buy a new one so some billionaire can make more money.

You see, here’s the thing.

When this whole smart phone thing started, smart phones sucked. They ate a lot of power, so the battery didn’t last, they were slow, both in computation, and loading data, the screens were pretty trash (dim, low res, huge bezels)… Everything needed improvements.

Now-a-days, my phone, whether new, or a couple years old, has an all day battery life, it’s pretty quick and snappy, apps load quickly, data appears almost instantly on it, the screen is bright, with minimal bezel area… Nothing I care about changes.

So why am I upgrading? Slightly better camera? Slightly better everything else? Stuff I don’t perceive has been “improved” and I don’t actually give a shit.

My reason to upgrade isn’t there. Currently, my reason to upgrade is: this phone will no longer get upgrades, I should get something that will… For security. That’s it.

So why in the actual fuck, would I bother doing it if I don’t have to? AI? No thanks.

Oh, I get the reference.

Both.

The paper cartridge (PC) needs to be loaded with letter sized paper.

It’s a command to get the paper cartridge and load letter sized paper in it.

C’mon people.
