You pay more for less so the numbers go up.

Its just not your numbers.

Ditch your friends and play incremental games instead, i guess.

tbf it is a screenshot of a porn scene. i checked via reverse image search… for science and then i wanked either way. the penis touching is implied in the context of this meme. in the context of the scene it wasnt just “implied” “touching”.

so yeah, its literally porn and my conclusion is thats a pretty valid use of the nsfw tag. while i’m not a prude i can think of enough situations where i would be glad when i dont have some explaining to do. i first didnt pick up on it and also thought of a stock photo. but the pretty visible underwear of the happy pumpkin lady can be a dead giveaway that its porn.

the illusion of privacy. wat.

there wasnt an illusion of privacy 20 fucking years ago.

i’ve read articles printed on physical paper how three letter agencies provided funding to then upcoming social media sites.

i remember how fucking upset i was that everybody was just downloading shitty facebook apps while giving them full access to their contacts when smartphones took off. it didnt took a genius to connect the dots. they built a pretty accurate shadow profile of me by just tracking who had my fucking number. Even if i never had touched facebook products with a ten foot pole.

this makes me legit so fucking angry. complete brainrot. like i’m happy there are still articles beeing made which hint at the privacy nightmare we live in. but as a society we should be so much further. these are known issues for fucking decades now.

Why would you intentially seek up a prostitute in a game though?

Real answer: Compliment whatever the fuck we like to do.

I also like flowers and i get the intention behind them. Boobs are also pretty rad, ngl. But giving me some attention about my nerdy shit. Ooooooh

Fair, but your real life constelation is pretty different to a videogame.

Eh, i got over it pretty fast. But in the end i was really happy about that experience since in gave me introspection about myself. More than i would ever expect from a fucking shooty video game with light rpg elements.

NGL, happened to me exactly like that. It was a bit ‘unpleasent’ as in the unknown can be pretty scary. Like i’m fairly open and especially dont give a fuck what anybody else does. But the first person depiction of same sex… sex was pretty intimate in that game. Yeah, i like to see myself as _progressive _ and open but i’m still an average cis white male gamer. I’m mature enough to admit that it challengend me. I’ve never seen something like that. It was my first time. Dont get me wrong i still dont have anything against LGBTQ+. In the end i handled it as dumb as it sounds. But tbh i never saw somebody talk about that? Like i still want to be an ally but experiencing _gay _ stuff kinda first hand still was weird.

Nothing but to agree. But we are way past the point of facts. This fallacy implies just projection of your own competency onto morons who just dont care. Your enemy doesnt care.

fair enough

I dont get it. There was never snow in my asshole???

Theres a difference between ‘premium’ and ‘flagship’. The price alone is enough to call it premium (with some asterisks). But its just not flagship hardware. The SOC is more than enough for my needs. But performancewise its somewhere near a 3,5 year old flagship Snapdragon and is itself 2 years old. Also if you give a fuck about these specs because of gaming/emulation or misusing(loaded statement i know)it as a desktop substitute Mediatek SOCs still lag behind in support/compatibility to Qualcomm.

But then there are some unpremium telltales like that third backside macro camera with undisclosed megapixels. That instantly tells me that it probably sports a 2mp unuseable tiny sensor. Its only there to trick the consumer in believing that its more premium then it is. Its not an useful tele like on a Iphone Pro but the design suggest it.

They also dont specify what kind of USB connection they provide. So its most likely USB 2.0 with no displayout. Other things on their official spec sheet:
_Primary camera aperture | 2 Megapixel _ its just typo tbf but still, lmao.
Headphones jack | TYPE-C DAC digital headphone Just ‘no’ would be more honest but i just wouldnt mention it at all and everybody who cares gets it.

I’m all in with MudMans assertion that they should just own it instead of tiptoeing around the truth. As he said its a solid device with enough unique selling points. But sadly it feels(!) like they try to deceive me here and there with their messaging. Which is soooo unnecessary.

Edit: It kinda suggests to me(!) that it probably is a badge engineered phone of a chinese company which provides semi customizeable barebone devices. Just a guess by me(!). But that would be unpremium as fuck. And dont get at me how stupid that whole pReMiuM talk is. I’m fully aware of that. But thats the bullshit you need to deal with if you start using these terms. I didnt start it.

A lot to love about the phone tbh. 3,5mm jack, front facing stereo speakers, 120hz, alright cameras, 168g, smallish formfactor, sd card support. But 450€ for an entrylevel chipset with 8/128 and only acceptable support timeline is just rough. I’m aware that inflation is a thing, chip manufacturing got more expensive, us tariffs somehow affect the rest of the world and longer software support needs to be paid somehow. But that shitty chipset will perform worse than my phone i got 4 years ago for like 320€. Meh.

Might be a otherwise well made video. But that intro instantly tingled my spidey senses?

Two spy satelites built in the 90s which gathered dust for 20 years and got handed down to NASA were more advanced then the hubble space telescope?

Yeah, but funding and work started on hubble in 70s and it launched in 1990. With that in mind its a lot less ‘amazing’. Also i dont know what more advanced means in this case? Whats the qualifiers or the metrics? Like a space telescope which gathers light for days and weeks to get a picture is built to different specs than a spy satelite which has to take pictures in fractions of a second to get a clean picture.

Also the ‘interesting feature’ of having a short focal length isnt that interesting? They’re spy satelites, what else are they supposed to focus on? The secret nazi base on the dark side of the moon?

Either he is just sloppy with his analogy for what is to come in the video or he deliberatly insults my intelligence to paint a picture which eases me in for his following takes. In both cases it doesnt give me any confidence to invest 2 hours of my life.

meh
