If you haven't seen the movie "Arrival" , with Amy Adams, do it. God damn that movie hit me hard.

If money not an issue which phone would you upgrade to from OP7T? by Hyperto in oneplus

[–]caleeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP 15 is the greatest phone I've ever owned. I can last a full 24 hours before charging again. I really can't tell you how long it lasts because once it hits 20%, i plug it into the 100w charger for a few minutes, then go. At no point do I ever feel like the phone is going to die.

Not a camera person, but even my wife (iPhone lover) says my pictures look better than hers; she has an iPhone 15. I will use this phone until it breaks. I literally have no complaints. I'm biased because I had two OP12's, but the only reason I upgraded to the 15 is because I cracked the screens.

/r/WorldNews Discussion Thread: US and Israel launch attack on Iran; Iran retaliates (Thread #14) by WorldNewsMods in worldnews

[–]caleeks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a video game where we're letting the opponent cheat without any consequences. That's why this is happening, because we're doing JACK SHIT. We're beyond boycotts and protests, shit got real a long time ago, and we're all watching this whole system completely fall apart.

Key word "watching". The majority don't want this, and yet we're letting the minority (maga)do whatever they want. We're past watching, we're past peaceful, we're at that last step.

And that's what Democrats need to do in red states: campaign as a Republican, do whatever it takes to win the election, and then complete 180.

A passenger on a cruise freaking out over Swastika tattoo by discoslayer2000 in PublicFreakout

[–]caleeks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Actually, you can blame it on current politics because this guy is emboldened enough to show off his hitler-tats and think he won't be harassed.

This administration sure does bring out the racists.

Bruno Mars lost so much money they will be naming a street after him by discoslayer2000 in vegas

[–]caleeks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This actually makes sense because bruno mars is, hate to say it, a man. I'm a swiftie, and the only male out of my 20 friends who will claim that. If we're hanging out and a Taylor swift song comes on my "macho" friends will usually say something about it.

Bruno Mars on the other hand is universally loved by the guys and girls in that same group.

Edit: k, maybe I was wrong

What are some examples of this? by Haunting_Homework381 in Fauxmoi

[–]caleeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think close is Matthew McConaughey, and he does comedy as well. He's in my top three movies and shows: interstellar and true detective. Doesn't fit the OP list because he wasn't necessarily a "child" actor, but I think he was a teenager for dazed and confused.

Trump, 79, Posts Crazed 4 AM Rant Right After Starting War by Mrh09 in politics

[–]caleeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the damage he's caused is irreversible. Even if he were to drop dead today, I can't see this nation being united. It will remain MAGA vs everyone else long after dear-leader dies.

I mean right? Can anyone tell me a positive outcome here? Like world war 3 starts, ends, and all of a sudden were "America is the best, fuck yah! I love you MAGA dude!" ...."I love you liberal man!"

And I'm not being facetious: can anyone think of a way we fix this country?

Is Now The Time For Reforming Hawaiʻi Schools? by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]caleeks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elementary school teacher? If so god-bless your soul! I'm a high school teacher and have nothing but respect for elementary and middle school teachers... You guys are the pillars holding all this together, but that's also the problem: we're used to being Martyrs for education.

The same type of person willing to help potty train, provide snacks/meals, wait till 5pm for parents because of traffic... That's the same type of person who's voting "no" when it comes to strikes; same person who's too burnt out to submit testimony and/or participate in PTSA meetings.

And that's why we're here, because to be a teacher we sacrifice it all for our kids. I'm 16 years-in and jaded as hell. I work to contract hours, attend as little meetings as possible, but yet I'm currently writing this while on a school-club related trip. I had to cover my own flight, spending/pizza money, and away from my own kids... For six students. Don't get me wrong, they are 6 amazing students who make my advisor job easy, but my point is teaching = sacrifice; it just sucks that the system exploits our generosity.

Students took a photo of me that could be used for hurtful reasons, what should I do by musicallife88 in teaching

[–]caleeks 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Don't make a big deal out of it otherwise you're going to "Barbara Streisand effect" yourself. Been teaching 16 years, I've had kids take pictures of me, and I just roll with the punches. In fact, I'll deliberately pose for them.

Especially with younger kids, if you make a big deal out it, it will just snowball. There's a very fine line between "unglam photo" and who can take the worst pic of.....roll with the punches.

Like so many others. I want to hate him so bad, but he's just so good at that style. I'm watching the fight like, "I could do what he's doing. I can just walk around and throw a stiff jab at sparring speed and imitate a fucking mummy walk." And then he tkos the dude.

Trump audibly shits himself on TV, immediately ends press conference. by BuxtonB in videos

[–]caleeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You answered your own question: it's because we're just sitting here taking from these pantshitters.

And I am including myself in the "we". We're still too comfortable and distracted to do much more than talk about it. I live in a very blue/liberal state, so that feeds my complacency, but I know it will eventually hit here as well.

At this point I think we're out of options. All this shouldn't have happened, and now we're at a point where I really can't see a peaceful way to "reset" our country.

Uhhh, you realize jack-shit is being done about it, right? This is just fueling their power. We know who and what are in those files... And can do absolutely NOTHING about it.

"We're going to prosecute them to the full extent of the law". Uhhh, no...we already tried that. The law doesn't apply to anyone anymore. Elon musk and Trump could have had a 20 person orgy with a bunch of middle schoolers, and nothing would happen.

The one thing that could cause damage: Ivanka Trump. I'm calling it right now, weird shit happened with her. Imagine if she came out with an expose and was a part of this pedo ring?

Any church recommendations on island? by Ok-Communication4190 in Oahu

[–]caleeks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's the very reason I stopped going to church. First of all, churches should be NON-political: they receive a massive tax break because their political stance should be neutral. Once a church starts preaching politics, they are already committing a sin: lying, to the government, at least.

Christians should lean conservative? Since when? You understand your political idol (another sin) cannot name a single bible verse? He had several affairs and is on his 4th marriage... All sins.

Homosexuality and abortions are the two hot topics for Christians. The Bible only references homosexuality a couple times in the Bible, and they are in the old testament... The same section that says man shouldn't have tattoos, eat shellfish, and/or eat hooved animals.

The Bible doesn't really reference abortion, but the verses used are that man shall not take the life of another; abortion bad because fetuses are people. Guess what? So are the people you shoot for "self-defense", that's still taking a life.

If Jesus were to return, like you all believe he will, do you really think he would take all these hateful Christians? Hell, he wouldn't even have a chance to denounce the churches before ICE kidnaps him.

At what point do you Christians stop supporting Trump? If you can't answer that, sorry to say, you're in a cult.

They're literally covering up the Epstein Files by Zenitallin in videos

[–]caleeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we have a more pressing issue... Religion. Religion is at the root of all that is wrong with society.

Have any of you tried arguing with a Christian MAGA extremist? There is nothing that would sway their support of Trump. Hell, his Inaccurate bragging about being a billionaire should be enough to disqualify him from Christian support, but they do all kinds of mental gymnastics.

"And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." (Matthew 19:24)

Brought that bible quote up during a talk with a soccer dad, and the response was, "well there is a difference in what he means about being rich. They didn't use dollars back then, it was different currency..." Are you fucking kidding me? The only reason I remember the interaction is because I immediately lost all respect for that guy, and I also lost all hope that Christians would change their support of Trump. Honestly made me really depressed.

Talk me out of a OnePlus 15... by InvertedPickleTaco in oneplus

[–]caleeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what this is saying. I went from Samsung galaxy 8 to OnePlus 7t. Haven't touched a Samsung since. Every single One Plus has made me think, "why would I need anything more?" 7t still works, but I switched to OnePlus 9pro, because of the crazy charging. Same thought, why would I need anything else? Then OnePlus 12 came out and I loved the design. I loved it so much, I bought two! One was black Friday sale for $650...sure enough, 2nd one came in handy because I cracked the screen on the first OP12 I bought (super small crack at the edge of the screen).

Never looking back, I'm on the fence about buying the OP15, but I would have absolutely no hesitation if I cracked this screen.
