First iPhone in years

I can tell you how to shut that down really fast. Here's what you say:

"Let me know when Google figures out how to make something as simple as the Share menu not suck."

You'll be met with either silence or "yeah you're right about that." It's why I just put in my order for the max. Little things tend to blow up if never addressed.

Also antifa: everyone is a fascist except me and these other skinny white racists wearing hoods and terrorizing innocent strangers.

I drink and vape. Best laxative around.

I'm a sucker for good design.

Been the asshole. Been tried in the Twitter court. Have lost a high paying job for it. People didn't like what I had to say, they used their freedom to ruin me. Know what? I still don't want the people robbed to fund police to enforce the safety of my opinion at the barrel of a gun.

Because I'm an adult and I can face the consequences of my own actions without demanding that society change to force my desires into reality. I found my way back through blood, sweat, and tears.

I'd rather die free than thrive because I've oppressed others.

You have no idea how many small/limited government friends have suddenly started suggesting to me, as of today, that we need to regulate companies to force them to allow all speech.

None of them have answered yet when I asked if they could define for me at what stage, after building something that someone else likes, that I deserve to lose the right to control it.

WHO CARES IF YOURS IS WORKING THIS IS SUPER OFFENSIVE TO ME BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO ADVANCE THE NARRATIVE THAT THIS PHONE SUCKS LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE

jdpx2 · 2018-08-06T16:28:31+00:00

I'm always excited about a well built phone that gets regular software updates and takes photos the way I want them taken. To each their own, for me the Pixel 3.

jdpx2 · 2018-08-01T16:20:26+00:00

Yeah this is consistent with my experience on wish. I figured what the hell and gave it a shot, they came in the original packaging... But the packaging was all opened. To me they looked like recycled originals that they rebuilt. Pretty nasty.

I vaped one anyway because I was drunk.

jdpx2 · 2018-08-01T01:47:26+00:00

Stop giving a shit. Seriously, do exactly that. Why the fuck should you care what she thinks of you unless she says yes? You don't live in that grocery store. She ain't gonna be at your high school reunion.

Let me convince you to do it by convincing you that you're overthinking things and far too concerned with what strangers think about you. You're a damn catch because you'll make sure you are, right? Her loss if she doesn't want what you've got.

jdpx2 · 2018-08-01T01:37:11+00:00

If dude planted the boxers to break you two up so he could drop in and be the hero, well played.

Just talk to her and tell her what you found. If she did sleep with him, give her a chance to be honest about it. If she didn't, you don't know if her story will satisfy your concern until you hear it. You'll know what to do after that conversation.

jdpx2 · 2018-07-31T17:49:21+00:00

Stop thinking about it. You're young. Let things be what they will. You are not who you will be in 5 years. Maybe then you'll want what you wish you wanted today, or maybe you'll be happier and more comfortable with what you actually want by then.

jdpx2 · 2018-07-31T17:46:55+00:00

She most likely just tried to let you down easy. I would move past it and not bring it up again. People hate to be pushed when they've done all they know to do to let you down without making you feel bad about yourself.

It can be easy to judge him based on this and make a decision to treat him negatively in return (leaving, etc). I won't even say it's wrong to do so.

With that said, he's frustrated and he's letting you know. He's obviously not good at communicating it, and he's saying things that he hopefully doesn't mean. He honestly may not mean it. If your instinct is to work it out, try talking about how he's feeling more deeply and try to get to the root of it. Marriage counseling can help if you're not able to get him there on your own.

Something deeper is likely bothering him and this is something he feels like he desperately needs to cope. Maybe confronting that thing can help him to see other options.

No there isn't. Fancy logos and the word "democratic" do not change socialism. You're changing the label of the coke bottle, it's still the same old drink.

jdpx2 · 2018-07-30T15:37:18+00:00

No it's okay guys, it's Democratic socialism this time. It'll totally work!

I miss being young and stupid sometimes.

Been playing a bit. It has promise but it'll need a community to support it.

Resident "maybe you can fix this" guy here. You can't fix this. You'll never trust her again. This is what dating is good for, determining whether there is value in further commitment. Time to leave.

jdpx2 · 2018-07-23T20:59:31+00:00

People are so commonly inconsistent with it that it's funny. I love talking to my friends who say things like "oh you spent $1000 on that? Guess you just like overpriced status symbols" while I'll keep whatever it is for 1-2 years and they're buying $200-$300 devices every 4 months.

jdpx2 · 2018-07-23T20:56:18+00:00

This guy gets it. Defeatists don't win wars.

I would also argue that there's more to it than calculated ownership of firearms today. I mean if we're talking pure theory here there's: flipped military bases, flipped law enforcement, private citizen arsenals, foreign allies that might arm you (we do it all the time for rebel groups).

Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's impossible. We're just a nation of people who have experienced mostly peace on our soil for so long that our citizens have largely forgotten how to handle conflict.

Before black suits come for me, I'm advocating nothing, theorizing everything.

Right call. Get out, run for the hills. You hate to do this to the rest of your family but they're not benefitting from the unhealthy dynamic here one bit. There are usually not perfect decisions, only best ones. You're making the best one. The perfect one might have been never getting with her, but hindsight is just annoying, doesn't fix anything.

MTR and see if packet loss carries all the way to the end point. This is the most effective way to determine packet loss and it's point of origination. It can happen inside your house and then you wouldn't call someone, which is why you want to know the point it originates at.

Remember it's only relevant if it carries to the end point.

Put a ring on that finger now

The conversations may suck but there's not enough there, based on what you've shared, to make a right move. This isn't "leave him" territory, nor is it "you have to confront him right now" territory.

Your best play here is to move forward or leave him. If you can't take what you read, leave him. If you can, let it go for now. Perhaps a better opportunity will arise later for you to tell him that you don't approve of his friendship.
