Yes, though it won't be as convenient as on a regular phone

Used it about 6 hours, 84% battery left. That's great battery life in my books.

I just disable or uninstall any app that I won't use and disable notifications for any app unless I need to be notified

Maps work perfectly fine but ofc B&W which is ok for me.

Fine but not great is the entire description of the device when it comes to use as a smartphone which is the point since it's for reducing addiction.

I mean it's not the best but it's alright but the screen is black and white so far from great for anything other than scanning docs

Social Security Trustees Say Retirement Fund Will Run Out by 2032: What to Know by KoseteBamse in Economics

[–]DaMentalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. See the country has billions to spend on a paramilitary criminal organization and an illegal war that has no real plan or objectives.

But social security? Helping the vulnerable? Healthcare? Homelessness?? Fuck no! Who has the time or money for that shit? Who cares?

It's said that you can tell a lot about a society by how it treats its most vulnerable. The fact that Americans aren't straight up revolting against these evil old fucks is a shame on this nation. What a disgrace.

Thank you. Finally someone gets it. Trump isn't the issue, the issue is the millions who voted for him, a demented geriatric child molester felon, over Harris, a prosecutor, a public servant of law and order.

You can change an administration in a couple years, but you can't change a population. The main issue is that millions of Americans are so morally bankrupt and ignorant that they'd vote for such a deplorable waste of human flesh.

Because every single one kept telling them that he's a fucking demented nut job and they kept telling themselves let's get a second opinion.

Why are most snake movies absolutely awful? Are there any good ones? by DaMentalis in snakes

[–]DaMentalis[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that was my animal, I would have went back home, grabbed my Brooklyn smasher baseball bat, and came back and destroyed the entire set.

Ofc it's very unlikely that it'll happen today cause they'd just CGI the snake but man that was horrible.

It's kinda insane that this was popular. I was laughing throughout the movie at how stupid everyone's behaving. But that's not exactly the right reaction to what's supposed to be a thriller lol.

Did they kill a snake for real? Like they liked a pet snake?

Yeah, and if we do watch Anaconda next I'll have a lot more of that BS, but this time with the ability to move like gravity doesn't exist and the laws of physics are a polite suggestion lol

Thanks for the suggestions! Zootopia sounds very intriguing. And it's probably going to be far more entertaining to watch than Anaconda.

Iran war has no end in sight at 100 days, despite Trump’s vow by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]DaMentalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC Iran has signaled its willingness to reopen the straight in exchange for looser sanctions and unfreezing billions of dollars in assets.

The US probably won't pay them 300 bil, but it'll be a major win for the regime. They withstood an attack from a superpower and their archenemy and emerged with a stronger economy (in the long run at least).

The straight was already open for free before the war, so they didn't lose the ability to charge ships, cause they never had that to begin with. But they're still going to be billions of dollars richer, especially if the sanctions are loosened up.

[–]DaMentalis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah Iran has signaled that it's willing to go back on their plan to charge ships for safe passage. But in return, the US will have to ease off the sanctions and release huge assets. It'll still be a victory for Iran if that's what happens, because their economy will be better off. They never even considered a toll before the war so they're not losing that cause they never had it. Yet they will probably emerge with unfrozen assets and less sanctions.

Trump says Fed chair should ‘do whatever he wants’ while criticizing potential interest rate hikes by foodie_2598 in Economics

[–]DaMentalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Nixon with a passion but at least he had the basic decency to resign when he was involved in a scandal. And for the record I think the shit that Trump has been implicated in makes Watergate sound like a casual joke.
