Circuit City. I grew up on CompUSA but CC had better prices, if I remember right from my childhood. Then CU died, then CC died, then FE died, now all we have is shitty BB.

My CC I got to go 'in the back' to watch then replace a psu that died and I correctly diagnosed, back in like... 03? Two techs for the store, super chill, talked me through the process. I've been building and repairing my own systems ever since. They told me to let them know when I was 16, they'd put in a good word for me after we chatted for about an hour. By the time I could legally work, the writing was on the wall, and CC died before I turned 17.

I wonder where those guys are at now. I thought I knew what I was doing, but they were so kind in explaining everything, answering every question, giving me confirmation about all sorts of stuff. I really hope they are doing well. They couldn't have been mid-20s at the time.

Maybe, but it's a slippery slope where logical and quality arguments - even if it's a simple image - lose their impact. The quality of an argument becomes diminished, and by letting that happen, you open yourself and your argument to criticism.

This isn't a 'you' thing, I get that, but it is a fine, real-world example of it happening. If the creator of the image can't be bothered to step back and see the obvious flaws, it has lost its merit before it's even started, only being carrier by the people who are okay with spreading it without seeing the problems it has.

Would you put any trust into a professional of any field who cannot create an argument, be it text or image, that has such glaring issues? And you know the audience that this is trying to poke fun at will rip it to bits worse than I have. It has no impact, other than in echo chambers, where people overlook the obvious.

So that's what the term "alpha male" means.

I'm a release candidate!

I hate this graphic. Read top to bottom, "have the day you Voted for" which is obviously incorrect as you would only capitalize the first word of the statement, so it's bottom to top/left to right, thus "Voted for day you have the" which is also clearly not correct. Even if you ignore the capitalization error, the statement is just shit. I get what it's trying to convey, but it sucks ass at doing so. It's a roundabout way of saying "you reap what you sow" but the creator got all "Live, Laugh, Love" (or I guess "live, laugh, Love") about it and thought they were creative and smart.

I bitched about this like 6 months ago the last time I saw it, and I'll bitch every time I see it. It's awful on all levels. Mirror the rainbow, flip the text so it reads left to right + top to bottom, and they really need a sharper phrase in general.

I'm one of the outliers in that I do 80 to ~10 before the day is over, then I'll charge and keep going, or I keep it topped up on the wireless charger throughout the day. But overall I'm charging at least a full cycle daily. I use my phone heavily. 1.5y in and I started using the 80% cutoff for lifespan, but I haven't noticed a decline, it's preventative and not reactive.

Family member has my previous phone, 2.5y old, and has not complained to me about the battery. When it was in my possession it was the same use case/scenario. Their use case is lighter duty, but they leave the screen on for like 10 minutes after idle, never turning it off manually. Pain.

My previous previous phone was given to a sibling, 3.5y old, again when it was mine it got the same heavy use. They use a battery bank some days, but they can be an even heavier user than I am sometimes - discord voice and video chatting, games, even doing one while also on a desktop. 100 to 20 or less most days, I often see it in the evening in battery saving mode around 10% when they are reaching for the bank. But that's still with a few hours SoT and heavy use with socializing and games and stuff.

All 3 are pixel pros, 8/7/6. shrug
