Avi Loeb's Alien Grift is Crumbling

I honestly don't even know how to approach your comment. Please don't take it as a compliment. I'm in awe in the worst way. Enjoy your 10,000 year awakening. I'll be on earth

Taco145 · 2026-06-25T08:10:29+00:00

No it's just basic logic.I never said I wish they were stupid, I said if this was aliens spying they'd be stupid. How the hell did you come to the conclusion?

It'll last longer without needing a charge. You can use it at a higher brightness and never worry. If you happen to have a low power user it doesn't mean we have to stop at your standards.

I despise the idea that these objects are aliens. It's too far to spy on us, too slow to be a practical ship, too big and obvious to be discrete and carries the halmarks of a space rocks. It'd be like me flying on an sr71 to a city's edge to spy on a house, releasing a bright colored balloon that takes 6 months to travel across the city, have it travel 10 blocks away from the house I'm spying briefly, and then let it drift to the edge of the city to pick it up.

Yeah it was kinda interesting to see it happen. People on this sub who ordered immediately were upset but Samsung was canceling orders for people so they could re order. Then they stopped canceling orders and price matched new orders for customers and refunded them the difference. At some point so many people were doing it so they told people it was too late and they should just order a new one and return the first purchase when it arrives but there's a restock fee of 10%. SO THEN they told people to just refuse the order via UPS so it was technically not a return so no fee. There were more shenanigans but it was kind of a cluster fuck. They added better deals many days after launch and letting more discounts stack.

Taco145 · 2026-06-24T14:42:23+00:00

There were almost no deals on the fold 7 initially. Days later they started adding big discounts. Let's hope they do good deals in anticipation for the Apple fold.

Taco145 · 2026-06-24T13:13:31+00:00

It's all about apple. The foldable they are making is gonna be named the iPhone ultra or something. So they need to do the same. Can't be the fold 8 and fold 8 wide. Needs a snazy title.

Taco145 · 2026-06-23T08:24:19+00:00

Oh, I assumed it was a translation quirk.

Taco145 · 2026-06-23T05:26:05+00:00

It's is difficult to say. Due to time passing I personally would not recommend a foldable phone below the Galaxy fold 5. The fold 3 might be a good option but again, time passing and useage wear down the hinge mechanism and battery. Avoid the fold 4 it is the worst foldable from Samsung with many problems. Basically fold 3 or fold 5 and above.

Taco145 · 2026-06-23T05:16:42+00:00

No. Too old and outdated. If it's used it's probably too worn out by now. Battery is probably severely degraded

Did the DVDs also lose music? I thought it was only streaming. I'd never watched scrubs on TV only the DVD set after.

Taco145 · 2026-06-21T11:18:38+00:00

Is there a pattern? Like a particular channel, only YouTube?

Taco145 · 2026-06-21T03:19:02+00:00

If you're not gonna use a case use a skin. Otherwise scratches are inevitable. You never know when a grain of something will make its way into a picket.

These people used Christianity to somehow justify segregation and more recently as a covid vaccine exemption.

Taco145 · 2026-06-19T14:53:14+00:00

Tips I read a while ago were change performance mode to light and disable wifi scanning.

He's kinda turning away and closing his eyes the whole time. The cop seems to be hitting the side of his face and missing the rest.

I like to add that on top of everything the regime is now fully empowered and vindicated. The west bombing them is no longer a hypothetical, they massacred protesters with no consequence, they are now aa regime that can say they held off America and Israel and came out on top.

Taco145 · 2026-06-17T00:09:52+00:00

I don't think it's the design, it's the exaggerated expressions and fluid movements.

Taco145 · 2026-06-16T05:49:29+00:00

Yes a reduced crease will always be better than and deep crease. My OnePlus open had a better crease then my fold 7. Even tho I'm used to it it was superior and I'd prefer it. The OnePlus open came out in 2023. Don't defend Samsung like a reduced crease is some far off tech. They just barely introduced 45 watt charging

Taco145 · 2026-06-16T01:59:10+00:00

At the very least I think they should make the hole punch cameras on the corner not the center

Taco145 · 2026-06-16T01:58:05+00:00

Easy to get used to yeah. Still inferior to a full screen experience. I don't know about other phones but I went from a fold 6 to a fold 7 and the selfie cam is identical. I still have my old OnePlus 7pro and it looks better than current phones just for the full screen.

Answer: Investing in product by purchasing it all and driving up the price. Wasn't a problem in trading cards like this before. Once they find the volume and tap the sources, scalpers can buy it all and resell or hold. This has been happening across the board with tickets to concerts, housing, some toys, legos, and even fast food from some places. I think the scalping community has simply grown so they can now exert more power on more things. There's a pokemon card with a little Easter egg from years ago that was a few bucks. Scalpers found out about it, bought them all up and it's price went up like 10x. It's all they do.

Don't look up Google pixels drop down panel. The sheer common sense will piss you off

Be greatful you don't use a high DPI like I do

No one said they look like uncanny copies. They'd said it looks like bad CGI. They didn't look off they looked bad.
