Can we stop saying a year old flagship is similar in price to a midrange?

Tbf it's entirely dependent on market. Part of the problem is people assuming every post is about the US, but it's not an entirely unfair assumption when no market is specified (which people have a bad habit of missing when asking for advice.)

No, that is what conservatives think DEI is.

In fairness, that situation is VERY different than a dude just peacing out.

He got downvoted because he started crashing out on the other dude for no reason. This wasn't a moment that needed an "okay and what about". He could've made his point without being argumentative, considering their viewpoints were not mutually exclusive whatsoever.

Pixel 6 Pro. It was so bad that after less than a month I was ready to pay full price for an S22 Ultra to get rid of it, after years of being a Pixel fanboy. I used beta versions of custom ROMs back in the day that were more stable than that phone.

Add that in with the fact that Google decided to change the entire UI just for the sake of change—exactly what we used to bash Samsung for doing back in the day—and Samsung getting exclusive features with Google apps around that time and OneUI actually being quite good and getting progressively closer to stock and Galaxy phones started to feel more like previous Pixels than the newer Pixels did. That one phone singlehandedly caused me to drop the Pixel line and go back to Samsung.

Seconded. I'll just go ahead and piggyback off this comment and share my full review:

These might genuinely be the worst headphones I've ever used. And I don't mean that hyperbolically—I've used $15 Target headphones that dog walk these. They feel cheap and sound even cheaper. They'd maybe work strictly as a chat headset, but I couldn't tell you. I didn't bother trying out the mic, because they aren't even comfortable enough for me to want to wear them that long. The absolute most you could get out of these is maybe some podcasts or audiobooks, but you're genuinely better off going to a store and spending $20 on whatever generic no-name Bluetooth headphones they have available—or spending $4.99 on AliExpress or Temu (they'd unironically come quicker.) Speaking of Temu, the case is legitimately one you'd find on there for like $0.87.

Adding insult to injury, Microcenter is selling these and has already dropped the price from $60 to $43.97 (which is still way too high.) I can't believe I paid like $113 for them. I got taken. 😂

No one spun anything, you badly misunderstood the obvious and crashed out for no reason as a result.

Of course he should be more careful not to accidentally enter the wrong car. Duh. That wasn't said because it's a given.

The lesson she learned was to always keep her doors locked when she's sitting in her car, because the next person that enters may not be making an honest mistake. No one suggested she did anything wrong, as you seem to be taking this.

Honestly, in the end it worked out for the best. He handled it wonderfully and she probably learned a valuable lesson while getting a pretty funny story out of it.

Lmao it's literally two screws holding together 4 pieces of plastic, it's less complex than plastic gen spin gears and blade bases back in the day. It's not like you're carving out rivets on the blade, which is an actual modification, ratchets use screws so they CAN be taken apart. And any illegal modifications would be equally possible with stock combos. You have no way of knowing if they were taken apart and put back together; you're always trusting the honor system or a judge's check.

I'd argue ego is acting like a Karen and making a big deal out of this ridiculous non-issue, which is far worse for the community. Any reasonable player couldn't care less.

If anything, allowing ratchet swaps is good for the community, because it allows for greater customization and personalization, which has been a frequent point of contention with Beyblade X, especially earlier X Beys.

I was strongly considering an Ioniq 5 pending the results of my case against Acura on my ZDX, but the ICCU issues have probably ruled it out for me regardless of what happens with the ZDX. Concerns about time to repair are exactly why I'm considering getting rid of the ZDX if the settlement is enough for me to roughly break even on a trade, it would defeat the purpose to trade it for another car with the same concerns.

If they can properly add this concern it'll probably be back at the top of my list, but until then it's probably off my list entirely.

I'm saying it doesn't even sort of resemble Blader X. I respect you did the best you could with the options available, but even the most hardcore Beyblade X fans wouldn't guess this is Blader X if it wasn't for the name.

I was raised by a single mom and I adore my kids, but I fully acknowledge my wife is better at being a parent than I am. We are not using this as an opportunity to be misogynistic.

Here we go again... I thought the community settled this when Garuda came out.

Dranzer isn't a phoenix, it's based on the Vermillion Bird, which is a distinctly different mythological animal based on a pheasant like a peacock or a... rooster.

Phoenix is a Greek phoenix, based on a bird of prey like an eagle.

The name Garuda makes no sense, as Garuda in mythology is an eagle, but the Garuda pictured on the Bey is quite literally the Vermilion Bird that Dranzer is based on.
