I’ve needed my phone to be water proof exactly once in the 20ish years that I’ve had one and that was in 2006. I think I’ll manage without it. I use my headphone jack and SD slot every day.

I guess I just don’t get the hit of pleasure from it. I feel like I’m just getting into whatever it is and then it blue-balls me.

Most of those things are facilitated via US social media as well.

I don’t want to have to carry a dongle around to use things that should be built into the phone.

Those laws should cover every social media site though. Not just the foreign ones. If they’re going to ban tik-tok they should ban the rest too. I’m not in favor of this but the double standard is fucking stupid.

I choose to believe a hostile foreign dictatorship means more harm than a hostile domestic for profit business.

WTF is the foreign dictatorship going to do to the average citizen?

I would include any phone that doesn’t have basic features like a headphone jack or a SD card in the “shitty phone” category. Pixel phones come to mind.

I don’t understand it at all. I find it infuriating. I need long videos to play in the background while I work. I can’t get anything done with this short crap. Maybe that’s the point…

PIA has port forwarding. Used it for several years without issue.

Yea we can call out 8x before getting fired. It doesn’t matter the reason. I still have people calling in leaving messages with exaggerated symptoms in their voice and it’s like… Bruh I don’t give a shit just don’t do it 7 more times so I don’t have to fire you.
