I second the multi-monitior comment. I absolutely love my fold and I think that’s a great analogy.
It’s hard to say it’s worth the money though. I personally think it is, but I wouldn’t recommend most people spend $1500+ on a phone in general unless they have a really specific use case.
I have a Pixel 9 Fold and I absolutely love it. I don’t think I can ever go back to a regular phone.
That said, the fingernail thing isn’t a myth. I have a “scratch” (more like an indent) where I tried to clean something off the screen with my fingernail. It’s not bad and just like the fold, it’s only visible in certain lights, so it doesn’t bother me but you definitely have to be more careful with the inner screen than the outer. Though I suspect it’s the built in screen protector, not the actual screen.
While I agree with most of what you said, I think you are underestimating the huge cultural differences between NJ, CA, and TX. They very much feel like entirely different countries. Very big differences in culture, linguistics, religion, etc.
USA -> States is very similar to EU -> member countries. I understand that within the EU, member countries have their own concept of “states” that are very similar to the US, but I don’t believe most EU countries prioritize local regions over their country as much as the US does. Keep in mind, Europe as a whole is only slightly bigger than the USA (10m sq k vs 9m sq k)
For instance, someone from Texas self-identifies as a Texan first, and then an American second. It’s why one of the first things an American asks when meeting a new American is “where are you from”. The state they’re from will (usually but not always) tell you a lot about them, their priorities, what their culture is, etc.
Personally I think it’s stupid (I’m not a big fan of “states rights”), but I’m very much in the minority in that.
Oh no I used auto-complete to help write this message. Here comes the Lemmy police to remove my post.
…yea that sucks. Like I said, our election system sucks. All I pointed out is your assertion that electors are getting new cars in order to vote against the wishes of their state isn’t really a thing.
Our election process sucks, but it’s not because of faithless electors. The vast majority of times it was because the candidate died before the election.
Since 1900, there have been only 16 faithless electors who defected for individual reasons
She
Well that was an unexpected pronoun.
Some interesting facts about excel I learned the hard way.
Not really related to what you said, but I’m still sore about the bad data import that caused me days of work to clean up.
And Trump wants to deport 20 million people, yea, exactly the same.
Get out and talk to people. It’s 100% believable he won the popular vote, let alone the election.
I’d love to hear a coherent reason backed by facts and evidence about why DEI is bad?
Whenever someone tells me they don’t like DEI and I ask why, it’s always some unhinged spiel about women and immigrants taking their jobs.
I have some bad news about farmers for you…
I bet you could make the best proggies though.
Considering you came here to complain about it, yea.
Me and a few friends have a biweekly group who play. We treat it like an actual tabletop RPG and have been having a ton of fun.
And at some point you’re going to realize it’s arguments like that which made the commenter’s faith misplaced.
If that’s the case, in most states they’d get into a lot of trouble if they don’t follow those times. A lot of states (well, the cities and towns within those states) have regulations that businesses open to the public must display their business hours on the front. It’s why you see them everywhere. Even in offices that probably have little to no “walk-in” traffic.
Wait, are we not supposed to tie $100 bills to our mortars?
My uncle came back from Vietnam with really bad PTSD (among other problems like alcoholism). Every fourth he would spend the whole day/night in the basement with the curtains drawn (to block out the flashes) and headphones on with the sound turned all the way up (to block out the sounds).
He would also take my cousins to buy fireworks every year.
I don’t mean to minimize your struggle, I just thought the juxtaposition was interesting.
I hope you could work through your struggles. I’m happy to say he was able to. He was able to quit drinking and minimize the effects of his PTSD. By the end of his life he was out there watching us shoot off the fireworks.
I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?
