You misunderstand. I went to from the A71 to the 6. I am only recently on the 9.

Fuck red light cameras and fuck you for suggesting them.

No, they absolutely are not.

For example. Zohran Mamdani is a god damn patriot

I am glad you have had a better experience than me. I am pretty happy with Pixel now but I am going to try the Graphene route this weekend.

I appreciate your response.

It was constantly giving out mistaken SOS messages. It would lock up and I'd have to constantly reset.

The final straw was when I was travelling to a work site I had never been to before. It locked up with a static screen and refused to reset. I had to stop at a gas station, at 4am, actually talk to another person and buy a map.

It was slow, buggy, constantly trying to get me to use their Samsung store, .etc...

When I moved to Pixel, it gave me the iPhone experience where shit just worked. And it integrated more things for me, which was convenient at the time. (But now I know it is scraping the fuck out of everything I do/see/hear.)

I just upgraded to the 9 and assume it's scraping every bit of data it can from me. I will do it this weekend.

Sorry, no way I am going back to Samsung. I had the A71 and it was a TERRIBLE smart phone. I switched to the Pixel 6 and it was night and day.

I just need to get off my ass and install Graphene.

So you are saying the average Alabamian is fucking stupid?

That's what happens when you fuck over public education (AL is 45 out of 50).

But no, it's because Democrats hate the south.

No wonder people joke about that state's family trees are a straight line.

Let me guess, you think the civil war was just about state's rights and not slavery?

Tell me you don't know anything about reality without telling me you don't know anything about reality.

General January and General February, the fucking MASSIVE Lend Lease program, Hitler starting a war on a third front...

Unless specifically told to scroll, don't you fucking dare scroll. That is nosy as hell.

You look at the picture given and THAT's IT.

This has absolutely nothing to do with national security and everything to do with billionaires who stand to make even more money off the oil industry.

 

I am not sure I have aphantasia, but I definitely have difficulty with images.

The best way I can describe it is like I have mental impressionism.

I can see my wife's face, but it's like I am seeing it out of the corner of my eye and not in focus. If I try to focus on the details, it falls apart like zooming in on the detail of a Monet.

She can remember the conversation we had a month ago, on a date. Like play it back almost word for word. Meanwhile, I barely even remember the date itself.

But I can remember feelings, smells, and sounds. I can look at an image and I can imagine what it smells, or even feels like. Very vividly, the feel of a sunny country day. How the sun and breeze feels on my skin, the smell of the field, and the sound of the insects. I can close my eyes and almost feel like I am there. But ask me to visually describe it, I would have a hard time. (I have a terrible sense of smell now too).

I have a talent for recognizing voices, even if I can't understand the words. I can hear an actor and usually place them pretty easily, but I also can't understand conversational audio if there is any competing sounds. It is so frustrating sometimes and hearing aids don't really help that much.

Photo is unrelated, but Lemmy made me post one, so enjoy my torty.
