  • Retail stores rarely carry a phone older than two years, as long as they push new phones every year, people will be buying those phones.

    OEM’s could have like 3 battery types, mass produce these 3 and offer battery replacement for maybe 30 bucks or less? OEM’s could have like 3 phone designs and update the internals, making each screen replacement maybe 50 bucks or less? Instead each has unique screen, motherboard, subboard and battery combo. My 10y/o nokia has the same battery as a new one, they cost like 5 bucks each.

    Needless to say I love the EU for bringing back user serviceable batteries, that’s a great start.


  • I hear you, in a system where votes are distributed equally and where a duopoly isn’t an eventuality, you’re absolutely supposed to vote for the party you allign most with. The current system does not permit this, causing a black and white world of politics. Not participating in this is your right, and with two regular candidates, we’d probably never have this conversation.

    One party has the rationality to change its opinion and work on mutually beneficial solutions, and the other party polarises the population, advocates for violence and creates lies and deceptions at every corner.





  • This US election is not about who wins, but who doesn’t win. Project 2025 is an attack on democracy and fair elections as a whole. Want to argue about actual political issues? Vote blue. Want to fight for fundamental rights the next 4 years? Vote red, 3rd party or just don’t vote.

    Using a 3rd party vote to protest the system is saying you’re choosing between equal evils. Saying a convinced fellon, insurrectionist and known fascist is an equal evil as a person with actual reasonability and literally zero negative qualifications just proves you have the moral compass of a sand dune.

    Oh no you’re mistaken, I got incredibly lucky. But after more than a decade I can confidently say that I’ve never seemed more desirable since I have nothing to prove. That confidence is what I’m talking about, I’ve seen many people try hard and fail. I’ve seen many more people try less and succeed.

    It will, maintaining friendships and especially new ones requires a lot of effort. I’m saying when you meet people you don’t think they’ll be your SO, but rather a new friend. That’s now an entirely different conversation, one which has a much more relaxed nature, increasing the chances of a potential relationship.
