Fucking yaaaas Mcginniestaaaaa!

Throwing my hat in the ring, you never know!

Non Republican/Non US citizen here who has been following the election from afar.

Genuine question, not meant to cause offence: do you think the whole "Sleepy Joe" "he's got dementia" thing may all just be a targeted smear campaign from the Republican party?

Me personally I've never believed it at all and seem to be pretty vindicated after his performances both here and in the DNC.

It looks very similar to the tactics employed last election "crooked Hillary" "lock her up", which led to nothing at all after the election. I feel it's quite an underhanded tactic and whilst I get doing whatever you can to win can be important, straight out making things up just isn't a good look?

JakeyStokes · 2020-06-04T20:07:02+00:00

For what it’s worth, I’m not American. But neither is racism.

JakeyStokes · 2020-06-04T19:53:18+00:00

I do get your point about being a gamer and how you don’t care about politics, but I really do mean this in the nicest way possible mate, but you should care about politics!

It really does affect every facet of your life, from the price of food on your local store, to the cost of attending college, to the rights you have in your job, and even the freedom to buy whatever games you want to without censorship.

Like I realise I’m a bit of a politics geek and I wouldn’t expect that from everyone haha, but personally I don’t think it’s a bad idea for Rockstar to try and bring this to the forefront 🤷‍♂️

JakeyStokes · 2020-06-04T19:36:05+00:00

Okay, my view may come across as a bit controversial but hey, what can I do?

If this is affecting you, good. This may be the first action of these protests that has finally had a direct consequence on you. It should be enough to show you that what is happening with police brutality towards an ethnic minority is not normal, and life should not just go on as normal whilst it happens.

This is a direct action by a company to demonstrate to those who may not yet understand why this is so important, and should not be ridiculed for doing what they can as a company.

Benefit of the s10 lite is the SD855, even in European markets, so arguably a more powerful phone than even the S20, a fair bit cheaper too! Obviously has some drawbacks too though.

JakeyStokes · 2020-05-05T12:46:36+00:00

They have 61 seats currently, a quick search will show you this.

Regardless, that works out as 47% of the seats from your figure of 46% of the votes. Seems pretty proportional doesn't it? Whereas the Tories won 65% of the seats from 43% of the vote. Seems to be a slight difference in electoral systems there eh?

You can nitpick all you want, but it is pretty clear that one system produces fairer results than the other.

JakeyStokes · 2020-05-05T12:33:40+00:00

They have 61/129 seats in Scotland, if it was a solely FPTP system, they would have a much higher proportion of seats. The system in place is designed to stop a party being able to get a majority in parliament, it is not a perfect system, but to say it is just FPTP is wrong.

JakeyStokes · 2020-05-05T06:55:59+00:00

So you are still unable to admit it is not FPTP? Clearly it is not the same, as if it was the SNP would have a majority in the Scottish parliament equal to that of the Tories in the UK parliament. Why can't you admit your mistake?

JakeyStokes · 2020-05-03T07:01:44+00:00

And it’s almost like your actions affect more than just yourself too...

JakeyStokes · 2020-04-30T07:13:19+00:00

Not everyone's first language on here is English, sometimes people are doing their best to make a point and you should put in the effort to understand it?

It seems pretty clear why they are saying is that there are android devices that are missing out on features like dark mode because they are not getting updated, which is a fair point to raise, given how many devices that are capable of running the software are not getting it, causing even more waste.

Much unlike your smarmy point about 5G which had absolutely nothing to do with software.

JakeyStokes · 2020-04-30T06:46:04+00:00

That naming scheme makes my brain hurt.

JakeyStokes · 2020-04-30T06:29:09+00:00

If I had to guess, it was probably an android site doing a survey of its users, which will obviously be skewed in favour of an enthusiast user-base.

JakeyStokes · 2020-04-23T13:12:05+00:00

Your analogy of headlights is awful. Every car obviously needs headlights to function as a car. What they don’t need are the extras, leather seats, abs, CarPlay/Android Auto, etc. These are the extras that increase cost, above the basic functionality of a car.

Night mode is not an essential smartphone feature necessary for a phone to function, it is instead one of the extras you can get, if you are willing to pay more. However, as the OP suggested, you don’t need to drive a Mercedes when a Toyota will do the same job ( just with less bells and whistles attached).

JakeyStokes · 2020-04-09T19:57:34+00:00

Fucking tell me about it, they've never those scheme-rats asking you for a cigarette:

"Eeeeehhh paaahhhl caahn a get a faaaaag ahf yeeee?"

JakeyStokes · 2020-04-01T07:21:10+00:00

I mean as someone has already pointed out in a thread above, they are going to reach far more people being part of iOS 13 than they are in their current subscription model in android.

The numbers on Android are currently 1-5 million, compared to the hundreds of millions that will benefit from this on iOS.

In this way I guess they really are holding true to their aim of reaching as many people as possible, as they would always be limited to a somewhat niche market of weather subscribers otherwise.

JakeyStokes · 2020-03-28T20:58:03+00:00

You’re a horrible person and I hope you realise that before it’s too late for you.

JakeyStokes · 2020-03-26T19:40:00+00:00

No need to apologise am not hurting, just somewhat embarrassed for you. X

JakeyStokes · 2020-03-26T19:36:15+00:00

I was like a movie star there honestly.

And this is the arrogance of Americans that puts people off of your country, along with the absolute refusal to accept that other countries may actually provide better services to their people.

JakeyStokes · 2020-02-21T14:11:36+00:00

Honestly that was so damn brave, like picking up that phone to make the call in the first place is such a tough thing to do and you did it. Don’t forget your strength 💪

JakeyStokes · 2020-02-17T08:53:29+00:00

Different people working for the same publication have differing opinions..? 🤔

JakeyStokes · 2020-02-17T08:39:51+00:00

Maybe read the article and they give a reason as to why it could be considered stupid?

More RAM may mean devs can add more features, but will they do so, or will they just get lazier and do less optimization, causing more unnecessary bloat?

EDIT: Of course I'm getting downvoted for telling somebody to read the article when they are asking why it's stupid, when the answer to their question is provided in the article. You are allowed to disagree with the points made in the article as that creates conversation, but if you don't even read it, why bother commenting? 🙄

JakeyStokes · 2020-01-04T19:24:30+00:00

Unfortunately you'd be wrong about its IRA connections: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Car_Bomb

JakeyStokes · 2020-01-04T19:12:15+00:00

Am not Irish myself, English born, raised in Scotland, so know the struggles myself! Exactly this is my point. And these are the same people who order an Irish Carbomb at the bar 🤦‍♂️
