The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

Nobody 10 years ago was saying “I wish I couldn’t replace my phone battery” or “I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone”

People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)

Your pessimism is more optimistic than my optimism

A John Digweed mix is perfect for me and ticks all the boxes

• No lyrics
• Lasts for hours
• Never gets too repetitive, changes over time
• No starting/stopping between songs.

I’ve done my best work to his live in Cordoba mix

Strong agree with your first 2 points, stronger disagree with your last point. Do you seriously think a 40 year old doesn’t deserve a vote?

Completely depends on if your parents are in your life, if they’re good people and treat you with love and respect.

Also depends on your parents financial status, as well as your financial status.

Most people my age (Millenial) are not as well off as our parents so it wouldn’t make sense to support them.

There is no single answer to your question other than “it depends”

Around $400 a month in winter, $100 a month in summer. Australia has the most expensive power in the world

I just soft modded my old PS2 so I could boot game backups from a network share. So I’m playing Gran Turismo 3, NFS underground 2, Tony hawk’s Pro skater 4, NBA street vol. 2, and GTA: San Andreas. Basically everything and anything my teenage self loved at the time.

I think having a single app that does that would be very inefficient compared to having an app like the one you’re probably using, that can be configured to do exactly what you want.

Art gallery followed by some lunch, then visit a record store.

This way you get to know the person’s tastes in art and you can judge if you’re compatible. If they don’t like the art you like it’s probably not a good fit. If they pick up a Taylor Swift album I know it’s not gonna work.

I think a person’s taste in art is a very good indicator. And if they’re not really into art or music then they’re not a good match

The fact OP posts this question tells me she’s not ready

Kinda seems like capitalism has been that second image for most of my adult life

You don’t have to be gay to make out with your guy friends

Sasha and Digweed, that must have been a hell of a show

Depends on what you classify as an ad.

Ive started watching the series Long Way Round, which is essentially an ad for BMW.

I click on steam sale ads for video games.

When local stores have sales, they have ads for those sales on their websites which I click on from time to time - recently I was shopping for a soundbar and a local store was having a sale on soundbars so I clicked that ad on their website.

When ads aren’t too intrusive, and they’re relevant, and they’re not peddling garbage I don’t have too much of a problem with them

YouTube revanced gives me ad blocking with sponsor block included
