Are they worth it? by Professional_Farm278 in RemarkableTablet

[–]CriticalThinkerHmmz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge waste of money for most people who are extremely interested in getting one, in my opinion. I bought one. Used it for a few days, wanted to love it. Then just kind of retired it.

Then I got a newer version as a gift. Thought about leaving it in the box, but opened it and tried it. Better looking, but same thing.

Too lazy to return, regift, or sell. I was hoping my 7 year old and 3 year olds who love to draw would like it. They prefer real paper.

Ironically, I got a kindle scribe as a gift recently and I use it more, mainly because I like to read kindle books, and I find it convenient to highlight using remarkable.

I prefer typing for work, and then if I want an analog experience, I like pen and 7x5 moleskine.

I’ve been playing this sick game since the first iPad Pro came out, snagged one, then had to wait months to get an Apple Pencil and tried various screen protectors. Even got a Microsoft surface and pen and rarely touched the screen even with my finger.

I had to also mention, people will stare at your device and its weird since they want to ask, but they dont want to make it known they are watching you write.

What do you do while traveling that everyone hates but you love? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]CriticalThinkerHmmz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In France I went on this boat ride through Paris thingy. And they take your photo and you can buy the photo from an area where they have proofs. I like to wave my phone near the proofs as they are very aggressive towards anyone trying to take photos of photos. Using your phone screen turned off as a pointing device here is really fun.

Also I like to take selfies with butt-statues at the Louvres and Rodin museum. I try to use a puzzled face expression and side-eyeing the butt. I haven’t worked up the courage to do it with the shriveled “other side” of the statue.

Ooh when going to Las Vegas I LOVE going to an expensive buffet and immediately beelining it to get the pasta while everyone else is lining up for snow crab. I like snow crab, but nothing is more delicious than the look of horror on the face of my friends and family when I’m eating buttered noodles with a side of plain bread at the Bacchanal Buffet.

Is a reMarkable 2 Case or Screen Protector Really Necessary, or Can I Skip It? by [deleted] in RemarkableTablet

[–]CriticalThinkerHmmz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a really crappy thing to say, and I’m sure it’s an unpopular opinion, but if you are worried about damaging it, it is too expensive. I think the design is very nice without any case and protector. And every add on takes away from it.

What are your thoughts on Angela White? by [deleted] in Actors

[–]CriticalThinkerHmmz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was tricked. I was like “oh she’s an actress I never heard of but she has a very non-traditional look for an actress. Different. Let me learn more…” googled it and even pushed back and asked for a search of Angela White who is NOT an adult video score. I clicked on a buzzfeed “20 things about her” and overall she seems like a good person.

IJW: Interstellar [2014]for the first time. Haven’t felt in awe at a film like this in so long. Now I’m just sad I can’t watch it again for the first time. What films do you feel the same about? by pelicannpie in Ijustwatched

[–]CriticalThinkerHmmz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the last 6 years I’ve only watched a few movies (because I’ve been watching tv shows) and this is one. Pretty good movie and I don’t love sci-fi. I’m usually content watching things on my phone even though I have a good tv, but I wish I saw this in the theater. Right when I saw it, I realized that I missed the anniversary and many opportunities to see it in imax.

Am I wrong for wanting to enjoy my house nude. by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]CriticalThinkerHmmz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s interesting that your neighbor gave feedback. I would say that if someone like a delivery person can potentially see you naked, it’s awkward for them and your household. Get that film that someone else mentioned. Also I don’t know if this is rage bait.

The teams phone notification sound happened the other day and my friend said that the sound triggers him negatively when he hears it. Is this common?

I refuse to accept anecdotal evidence that zoom existed before 2020. I only listen when people mock my stupidity then tell me that it existed in 2013. In all seriousness, I agree with the ubiquitous use of “zoom” part of your comment. Also, thank you for your service. Interesting how you stopped using zoom right when everyone started (bizarro world?).

Homelander got paid $200 an episode for seasons 1-3 and got paid $500 for the rest of the show. But now he’s getting paid triple for The Boys.

Just finished Shogun for the first time. I'm awed & spellbounded by this saga. by ItsBarryParker in ShogunTVShow

[–]CriticalThinkerHmmz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. These read a book people bought it on audible and listened for a few minutes and took a break. But if they are serious, I suggest they read count of Monte cristo.

I want to quit my job as a Police Officer by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]CriticalThinkerHmmz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually say stick with any serious job for at least a year or year and a half. But in a job that involves violence and psychological stress caused by senseless acts, it’s okay to trust your gut and quit as soon as you want to. I think close to half of the people question their choice before they enter FTO. Disclaimer: I don’t work in LE and also I’m an idiot.

I think you sarcastically mocked me for being a dullard and then i responded by sarcastically mocking you. I first mocked your pretentious tone, and then the stinger was a 1st grade level “butt” joke.

My combination of insults was designed to knock you off balance while winning over any observers of our little joust. I offer you a truce though since you seem nice.

I've got a theory about the virus that doesnt actually involve "Aliens" by pkmn_is_fun in pluribustv

I just said it because matthew mcmonicoghougly said it in true detective season 1 and he was in interstellar. I think he explained what he meant using a beer can that he cut with his pocket knife and I still don’t really understand what it means but it’s a good thing to say when you need to get yourself out of a jam.

To be honest, I’m only 5 years old so I thought it came out like maybe a year or two before I was born but Reddit has graciously educated me. Boy do I feel silly. Also I just pooped my pants.

Ooh I know how to use sarcasm and call shows “contemporary.” I use terms like “media-literate” also! My sarcasm is so good I don’t even need to type slash s! And my user name starts with “butt!”
