  • Wow, yours is a bit older than mine. Hopefully mine will keep functioning that long as well! I don’t honestly think it’ll break down any day now, but you never know. Things are known to happen, and when they do happen it’s always at the most inconvenient of times! Also, my computer is very heavily used, every day. Lots of games too.

    I was surprised about my phone. I don’t even know how many times I dropped it already and the battery is still good enough to survive an entire day. Truly, I dread getting a new one. I always hate having to figure out the settings, downloading and installing every thing, and configuring the thing exactly the way I want to. If it were up to me I’d keep using the same one forever, but I doubt even my stubborn phone will outlast me. ;)


  • True enough, my previous phone I kept until my banking app stopped working (my very, very old version of android was no longer supported) and my current phone is from 2019. I don’t think people need new phones/tablets/computers every year.

    However… eventually I’m going to be needing a new computer. My desktop is about 6 years old now. And if it broke down right now, I don’t even know if I could afford to build a new one, unless I build one that’s worse than the one I currently own - and probably way more expensive than it was years ago (the RAM price alone is insane already).

    And my phone won’t last another 6 years either. Although, who knows, it might. It seems indestructible so far, lol.


  • Really? It didn’t make you feel better either?

    When I got rid of cigarettes and started vaping, the differences were noticeable within a week or two, and they were astronomical. No more couching, no more headaches, less difficulty breathing, more energy, no more hoarse throat. Food tasted better too!

    Now, I know, this is not to say that vaping is healthy, but it does seem to suggest that it is at the very least healthier (or less unhealthy, if you want) than smoking cigarettes, unless feeling much better and getting rid of pain is a sign of worse health? In addition my clothes didn’t stink anymore and vaping is way cheaper too.

    Admittedly it took me almost 3 years, but I eventually got my nicotine content down to zero.






  • I highly doubt it. All evidence so far points to most Americans either shrugging or actively supporting this and a minority of Americans either complaining about it but doing nothing or organizing yet another lawful protest that’s not going to change anything.

    Trump has been getting away with everything, because Americans accept it. And yes, I know, it’s not every individual American, but as a whole… they do accept his crap. He wouldn’t still be president otherwise.








  • Yeah, seriously, the media are so complicit in all this.

    Killing people in the street, kidnapping people from their cars, detaining kids and documented immigrants, raiding homes without warrants, dragging people out of their homes in their underwear in sub-zero temperatures, not letting lawmakers inside concentration camps, the fact that there are concentration camps at all, etc… that’s what people are protesting and those things are not ‘enforcement.’
