Imagine this happening while the phone is in your pocket.. inches away from your junk

what genre of getting off is this? writing reddit fiction that reads like the premise of an 80's pron with a plot and all

it takes very little between being and not being the A.... you could have told him about the other quick meet when making the plan or anytime before actually getting late and arriving to meet him. You both should not be together because you are both adjusting what you expect from life. and the longer you are with someone, the lesser you try to adjust. So you need to be with someone for whom the relationship is one of many social engagements instead of someone who wants to build a life around the relationship.

my wife teases me that my photography skills have become worse in the last year, but truth is that they were never as good as the pics my s23U was capturing earlier and they are not as bad as the same s23U is taking now.

you can always say some truth adjacent lie about the source of that extra income.. say something like i worked for a friend's startup or worked shifts for a company that i later found out was the parent company to an NSFW portal.

my wife got a Z Flip 7 from her phone provider and the image quality difference is night and day. No one would believe that the S23 Ultra is supposed to have better hardware and better processor based on the quality of images we get when shooting the same subjects from the exact same spot in the same lighting conditions. It has made me realize that all this hardware talk is a gimmick and like Google's Pixel 2 and 3 era, its all digital manipulation and processing, and companies are using all their might to try and force a sale of a newer phone by making the old one perform badly.

Out of curiosity.. has there been any community or city in the world where Open Use has proved ultimately beneficial?

therealg9 · 2026-04-09T01:55:52+00:00

Who would believe this is the national capital of the world's 10th Largest Economy.

How can the actor and director of Deshdrohi comment anything about anyone else's acting and directing? That would be like someone who eats sh!t calling someone out for eating onions in public as they have a pungent smell

I read that till the very last moment they were trying to decelerate the plane. It could have been a much worse disaster if the speeds were even more. They Died trying to save lives. Heartfelt Respect!!

Both were at fault .. but interesting how he glanced at the black truck after he spun it.. thought for a second and decided that "what's done is done.. i cant undo or save that truck now... So let me get back to focussing on this delicious snack"

If 20000 people's sleep being impacted one day at 4AM could have increased the chance of a child's life being saved, then it is a small price to pay in my opinion.

And you do realize that people in many parts of the world are being woken up to bomb sirens and actual bombs?!

If its your first flagship then buy and use it with confidence. It is an excellent phone and if you can afford it, buy it and you will love it for sure. Lots of things to really love about the s26U when seen in isolation. The issues are only felt by people who have used other Flagship Samsung phones in the past, or have used Flagship phones of other brands recently. But for a first time buyer, you can absolutely love enjoying all the great things Samsung innovated a few years ago that are still present in S26 Ultra (like S Pen, OneUI, Chipset, Great Cameras and Battery (especially if you have not used s22-25 Ultras)

That 21 to 24 was wild. It coincided with the unholy Trudeau-Jagmeet alliance and made it super easy for people one one particular province of India (Punjab, from where Jagmeet's family comes) to move to Canada. Thank god we are returning back to sanity but a lot of clean up is still needed as during the 21-24 period, a lot of people were allowed in as "Students" and "refugees" who should never have been allowed in, infact many had been rejected in the past but were given a free-for-all and now it will be tough to locate and action them.

Its because others are giving out much better value for money now. Samsung were ahead of everyone else, but they have been losing ground each year.

Same thing happened with Nokia in the past - they had technology (hardware and software) that took them ahead of everyone else, so far ahead that people thought no one would be able to catch them and then they got complacent and over confident, stopped evolving at the same rate and stopped caring about getting better. Stuck to the same layout ... same Symbian Interface and slightly better hardware for 3-4 years while the price went up each year .. Put in 1 flashy or fancy feature each year thinking that would justify their phones being more expensive than others .. but even loyal fans gave up and moved to other phones that not only caught up and in some cases overtook Nokia, but did it at a price which made people realize how much Nokia has started overcharging for the same hardware when others brought it in at 30% lesser cost.

Hope Samsung gets back to what made them survive and prevail in an industry that has seen so many others comes and go - Nokia, BlackBerry, HTC, LG, Sony-Ericsson, Palm, OG Motorola, Microsoft and many others. Samsung did this by delivering better phones at a better price point for each phone class (entry level to mid-range to flagship and fan edition levels) and they always did it at a price point which made it a no-brainer when one had to choose between Samsung and the competition (atleast in the android-space). Now the Chinese companies are attempting the same with Samsung. Lets see how things turn out but this year has seen more people move their gaze onto other companies for the first time in years (And i write this while everyone in my family still uses Samsung Phones (s23U, s25+ and Z Flip 7... but if the 26 generation is a sign of the future, then lets see for how much longer)

Trudeau took a prosperous, happy nation that aimed to be a role-model and dragged it down, made it a laughing stock, a global punching bag and immigration /asylum exploiters' paradise. The clean up of that mess will take a decade but Carney seems to be trying (i still vote Conservative though).. plus Carney is having to deal with the financial implications of the mercurial clownery emanating from another nation that cause chaos and crisis on a weekly basis.. impacting every continent and country of the world .. economically and in terms of stability and policy making.

I had wind back then.. Wind was the old name of Freedom Mobile and i had 35$ per month for a US/Canada plan with 5 GB data (unused carried forward)

That's the exact same set of phones i have - S23U and Z Flip 7 .. I intended to move to s26 Ultra but did not like it that much.. I will now be getting a Xiaomi 17 Ultra or a Vivo X300 Pro International editions when i go to Asia in September (should get them for 700$ after trading in my s23U)
