  1. In my town, there's several who fucking jaywalk in traffic all the time without looking both ways. It's going to cause a very big accident someday as someone swerves or stops suddenly causing collisions. I consider myself a good driver, but I know if my truck killed one even if it isn't my fault, I'll be mentally fucked the rest of my life. Literally, 30ft away from lighted crosswalks. I wouldn't care about the jaywalking if they bothered to wait until it's clear and look both ways. We all do that if there's no traffic.

  2. You have no clue dealing with homeless. My town has huge homeless problem as a result of pushing them out of nearby cities and reducing support services. They set up camps with all the drugs, sex and crime to go with it. All the surrounding area neighbours are scared because they are often NOT mentally stable and not friendly. Homelessness is a choice and way of life for a good portion of them. The ones who can accept help can and do, and I very fucking much doubt the SPCA didn't already try the easiest route first and had to go this route as a last resort.

    Yeah, basically all charges from point of being stolen to when it was noticed should be reversed.

    In the sense them volunteering keeps your freedom to not be conscripted to join. Can you see Trump allowing military personnel to drop to record levels? No, anyone without bone spurs would get conscripted.

    As I understand it, before, let's say $10 is charged once and split across 10 $1 pledges to different creators. That's the single fee. The new way, would be 10 $1 payments. Though, not sure how that changes fraud and chargebacks, unless it's just to make it more hassle to chargeback.

    Why would you ask such a stupid question, knowing the answer is over 50,000 and no where close to one? It's a stupid question asked by an obviously stupid person.

  9. Re: Essential Apps Not Updating on Andy Rubin's Essential Phone Considered Anything But (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Same thing happened with BlackBerry's first Android phone. Apps preinstalled were not automatically updating until after the first manual search and update. It caused an issue with bad out of box experiences for bugs fixed and already released. It left a bad taste that could have been prevented and led to returns. I can see how an app not installed through Play isn't detected for auto update, but fuck, learn about the problems from much more compentant companies so you don't repeat what fucked them over.

    The front pockets of all of my pants are bigger than my back pockets. I can understand if you said it wasn't comfortable (because you're fat), but not that it doesn't fit. Are you wearing your pants wrong? Can you fit your hands in your front pockets? I'm 6ft or more and have never owned front pockets my hands don't fit in. Please describe your body so we know what retarded body type you expect a mass market phone to be designed for. I'm in Mexico right now with a shit ton more people closer to 5ft than I'm used to, so I am open to it being a body type issue, I'd just still expect front pockets to fit your hands, and your hand bigger than your phone.

    NFC is awesome for triggering events, like getting into your car, tapping an NFC tag and having it go into WiFi sharing, enabling Bluetooth, opening google maps, launching pod cast, etc. But recently, it's nice for pairing without hassle to things like headphones and portable speakers.

    I have yet to hear of pornhub shipping those Open Connect Netflix type boxes so ISP'S can serve locally. I bet a few of those would go missing, if they did.

    Mobile porn? No, they just use dildos and such, still. No, mobile porn isn't a thing. If you meant to say porn is mostly viewed on mobile devices, I ask, are you poor or just into creepy stuff?

    Where the fuck did you learn to pick up women? Jesus Christ, just start with, "hey, I'm blah, can I buy you a drink"? It comes across that you're upset you can't be an asshole anymore. "That dress would look good on the floor next to my bed" is funny, but was never appropriate.

    I always thought it was odd that in porn they don't concern with cumming on the couch or bed or whatever. The actors don't need to clean up, so I get that. In real life, are people seriously cumming on mice and keyboards?

    They may have access to your friends stuff and find out they're actually talking shit about you to other people. Hmm, I suspect a "True Friends" feature coming to Facebook.
