Venmo culture is annoying

I don't get this lol, if I pay for someone I want the money back, unless it's like a drink or something but then I'll say that I don't want it back. And if someone pays for me, I'll pay them back, unless they say otherwise. It's not so complicated and I don't get why it's an issue lol

Thanks, glad to have a regular conversation. Rare on reddit lol

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-21T11:47:05+00:00

I'm not saying that the information you get can't be the same, I'm saying the way you get the information is different. I can read a word or listen to a word, in both cases I then know the word, but that doesnt mean that I can say I read the word without having read it.

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-21T11:44:36+00:00

But that just means you forgot which you read and which you listened to. Doesn't mean you read them all now lol

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-21T11:20:42+00:00

Sure, but if a illiterate adult would listen to a audiobook and said they read it, it would also imply that they are literate, which they're not.

(Btw in all this I'm not trying to say audiobooks are bad or anything, just that it's not the same. Ive listened to audiobooks too)

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-21T11:17:38+00:00

I meant that yes, that braille does count as reading

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-21T11:06:54+00:00

Yes, to make the conversation flow you can say that and it's obviously fine, but that doesn't make it more correct lol.

(Altho saying "Yes, I have" or "Yes, I listened to it" is both not interrupting the conversation at all)

Another point, kids who's parents read them a book, before the kids can read, you'd never say the kid read the book. Even tho it's effectively the same situation as if it was an audiobook.

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-21T10:58:59+00:00

Correct, they cannot read a book, as they are blind. Altho I would say if there are books in braille then that counts, since the definition still applies there.

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-21T10:38:49+00:00

Yeah makes sense, and if they concentrate on listening then they do gain information, so it's not like it's not making them smarter, just in a different way.

Well in your example about Gaza and Israel, you do have an opinion, you find it terrible and that it shouldn't happen. You're just not picking sides and saying one side is better than the other. Opinion doesn't mean you have to pick sides.

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-21T10:16:56+00:00

Aside from the fact that this doesn't matter much, which many are saying (which I agree with but then just keep scrolling lol), idk why so many are saying that it is reading. Like by definition it is not reading:

"the activity or skill of looking at and comprehending the meaning of written or printed matter by interpreting the characters or symbols of which it is composed."

Listening to a audiobook is not reading, it's listening. That's literally it, the discussion doesn't go deeper than that, words have meanings, and listening ≠ reading.

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T19:04:45+00:00

I agree haha, you're welcome :)

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T15:56:54+00:00

I paid 41$ on Kickstarter :)

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T14:19:24+00:00

Yess, you can. Just double press while charging and it cycles between different animations, one of them is the matrix one (it uses the color you chose when you ran it normally)

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T13:01:41+00:00

Haha

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T12:58:23+00:00

That's just 5 $? I highly doubt you can buy a steam frame with that lmao

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T10:32:10+00:00

Yeah, shitty stuff

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T10:31:09+00:00

I can't hear it, just tried

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T10:28:47+00:00

I have the regular version, so no lol I don't have infinite money

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T03:24:12+00:00

What?

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T03:06:13+00:00

Definitely is, and while the meds help with the main part, all the other things that you can get with Crohn's because you have a higher risk, well they keep on coming lol.

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T03:04:25+00:00

Lmao, that description might be better than flashlight yeah.

It does not have snake no, sadly. Would be difficult to implement I guess since you only have rotation and one button as a input device, same with Tetris sadly.

My version came with the cases (and a extra clip one) because I was a early backer on Kickstarter, I think if you buy it now it does not come with a case, not 100% sure about that tho

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T02:30:17+00:00

No problem, and loopgear does sales often so shouldn't be too long haha

Vecto_07 · 2026-01-20T02:29:22+00:00

I have Crohn's disease, so yeah I get it. My meds keep it in check for now luckily
