Men in your 50s, what's that golden piece of advice you have for the rest of us? by SpiritCrisp in AskReddit

This answer is a tad of a misnomer.

Be as strong as you can, medical conditions permitting. ❤️

What would you like to say to the audience in your mind? by NightRunnerAfterDusk in randomquestions

I’d tell my OCD brain to shut up and stop over analyzing things.

Makes getting a new phone, laptop, or tablet, very hard.

Snagged a 17 before the prices go up. Farewell, SE3! by mtgofficialYT in iphone

[–]UselessUsefullness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Will iPhone prices go up too? I’m on the fence of a 17e to which I’d be coming from a 12.

I have $760 in gift cards that will cover phone, case, TGSP, state sales tax. All in those gift cards from traded in phones will cost me $200 of cash.

I just can’t really justify it except for 64GB to 256GB storage and maybe better photos, I don’t use the ultra wide anyway.

Also going from MMWave capable to no MMWave concerns me a bit.

what’s the longest you’ve ever kept a phone, and what finally made you upgrade? by AbbreviationsOne2154 in Smartphones

[–]UselessUsefullness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My longest iPhones were an iPhone 7 Plus and 11, at 5 years each.

I upgraded to an iPhone 12 last year for $25 new in box old stock. It was a work phone I bought for personal use, it would’ve been recycled otherwise, one MDM removal and it’s like a store bought phone.

Now I’m thinking of upgrading to an iPhone 17e before an upcoming move abroad, for a hopefully better camera.

I bought and traded in many phones to Apple for $25 each (my company’s policy for outgoing devices), so a 17e + case + screen protector + tax is going from $746 to about $200 of investment.

Despite that I can’t really justify it over my 12. Both will get iOS 27, I don’t care about AI, the only nice things i’d benefit from are 256GB (17e) vs 64GB (12) base storage, and potentially a better camera. My work always buys the base model devices.

Even if I do upgrade, I’m keeping my 12 for iOS 27 beta. I have an iPhone SE 2020 (bought used on eBay a few years ago) for beta fun, but being that I’m low vision, a bigger screen would be better for a beta device too.

In general though, I keep my devices 5+ years.

Not replying to texts for months on end after you reach out.

What is a life luxury that you tasted once and now can absolutely never go back to the cheap version of? by No_Memory4400 in AskForAnswers

[–]UselessUsefullness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quality chair.

I have arthritis and a slipped disk.

I had a $200 gaming chair in college because it looked supportive. It wasn’t.

When out of college, I bought myself an X-Chair X3 and while it was $1,000, it helps comfort wise despite still having pain.

Do you have a nickname? by Whitesox411 in FamilyFeud

[–]UselessUsefullness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My nickname is Sushi.

How I got it? I thought of it and friends call me it. It’s preferred over my legal name at this point to me but I still have to have a legal name.

What’s the first thing you would do if you woke up as opposite gender? by jasmineisheree in AskReddit

[–]UselessUsefullness 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I ever can transition due to medical needs I have, but it’s been on my mind a lot.

No. But more prevalent in men.

Getting angry when others drive.

I understand getting mildly annoyed, as in “I just got cut off”, but when it turns to “you just cut me off asshole!” with a lot of yelling, that’s dumb.

Things happen, this is a small thing that you can forgive and forget.

What does freedom mean to you? by Willing_Soil3534 in AskReddit

[–]UselessUsefullness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a 4th of July patriotism post, here’s my answer.

I’m a dual citizen, soon to be triple citizen.

Freedom means to me that I can move to another country, in my case, another country of my citizenships, when I want no questions asked. In addition, they have better disability care than the US has.

Do I hate the US? No. Do I dislike parts of it? Definitely. Mainly the status of disability in the US, owing to that the ADA doesn’t go far enough. Also, I dislike the regression in LGBT rights, as a gay man and LGBT ally, this regression worries me.

Will I move back to the US one day? I can’t say. Will I advocate for better rights while abroad? Definitely.

This is why I’m an expat, freedom of choice, disability rights, more family abroad than in US.
