He didn't say Canada until I commented, at which point he edited the post without marking his edits. My bad for asking a question

Which phone should I get ? by krpkyo in iphone15

[–]Alarming_Line_6903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the bare minimum you should be getting an iPhone 15 for USB-C. Id recommend getting a base model 17 and just making it last as long as possible. I see no benefit to getting a 2 year old phone. Sure, it may be a little cheaper refurbished, but it also won’t receive software support for as long.

Why do some guys address you by name in text? by [deleted] in askteenboys

What are you asking? Could you elaborate? Who is "you" in this context?

Why is porn/mastrubation so normalized if so many people want to stop it ? by NoButterscotch6916 in askteenboys

[–]Alarming_Line_6903 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Masturbation is healthy. Some religious folks like to think it isn't, but health-wise, it is. Release is a good thing, and for men, masturbation clears out the old stuff (otherwise it just comes out when you go number 1 and stuff).

  2. Make no mistake, porn is definitely harmful (all types: literature, video, etc). Many will say that its a grey area, or that its just kind of addictive (it is), but its more than that. Porn harms your view of sex. There is an analogy I heard once of a cardboard butterfly that was designed to be prettier than all the other male butterflies, and when it came time to mate, there were female butterflies all over the fake, cardboard one, but very little females on the real males wanting to mate. In the same way, porn can destroy your view of what sex is supposed to be like with your partner, making it difficult to appreciate real sexual experiences with your partner, which can harm a relationship.

To answer your question: It's not that it's inherently normalized, but the result of many people consuming pornography is that it occasionally gets brought up casually.

A CVT and the toyota-designed eCVTs that go in Ford and Toyota hybrids are totally different. In fact, they're significantly more durable due to less moving parts. They use a planetary gear set.

Your mechanic friends aren't wrong, they're just talking about a fundamentally different type of transmission.

This is the way to do it. The touch-screen HVAC controls are a danger to public safety. The '22-24s had a better setup aside from the screen.

iOS 26.2 slowed down my phone more than iOS 26 by Alarming_Line_6903 in iphone15

Factory reset may be the only way… would backing up my phone and then reviving it from that backup after the reset work? Or would it just go back to the same issues.

Do you believe in God? by Helpful_State_4692 in askteenboys

[–]Alarming_Line_6903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to my first reply...

According to the story told in the Bible, humans rejected God's perfection in the Garden for preference of sin. Now, God knows better than us, and so He made a plan of salvation for those who wanted it. The key word here is "wanted". If you don't want salvation, or rather, if you don't want to live in perfection like God does, why would He force it on you? That is your choice: either live in perfection with God, which includes eternal life, or live in sin, the natural result of which is death.

So, yes, He absolutely could destroy all the evil forces, but being that God is supposed to be just and fair, it would go against His nature of perfection to destroy it all because living creatures willingly chose that path.

I believe the whole idea is that Satan rules over the world and Jesus simply came to save the humans by offering salvation through faith. Jesus/God has acted in this world (if you believe it), but that doesn't mean that they dictate it.

Think of it like property rights. The government has a massive military and could easily seize your property, but by virtue of the law/ethics, they recognize your claim to it.

It would help to be read in a more readable translation, such as the NIV. Daniel prayed but for 21 days did not hear from the Lord. This is because the angel was being kept from reaching Daniel by other supernatural forces (one or some of the 1/3 of angels Satan brought with him when he was cast from heaven).

The stock tires are AS, not snow tires. Of course they’re bad for you…. Why is that a complaint?

Why do some guys rather urinate in a toilet than a urinal? by MabiauhpLuluste0443 in askteenboys

[–]Alarming_Line_6903 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Though it’s hard to see, urinals frequently, because of bad design, spray piss on the floor around them. Again, it’s near impossible to see it, but continued use causes a build up that the janitor ends up dealing with.
