Lower quality? Lol.

I'll give you a chance to look up the Mix Fold 3. And then any other equivalent phone available in the US market.

Even excluding the folding aspect, the screen sizes and overall thickness means it looks and works exactly like a non foldy. 50W wireless, 120W wired charging. 1TB of storage, 16GB of RAM. Leica lenses.

On top of that, zero of my data goes to the US government at it does on carrier branded phones. I will give all my data to the ccp if they want it. I have no interest in what they do with it. I have very high interest in what a five eyes nation does with my data and information.

Stop being a druggie.

That's an old saying in Tennessee... I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee...

Awesome, you've missed the point entirely. Now lookup the definition of stalking. It is NOT what a rational human would call stalking. There are very strict and rigid requirements. Which is exactly what I'm saying. You just keep proving my point.

In the US and Canada it is NOT a crime to be creepy. There are many cases that point this out.

You can't just apply laws to people you like it dislike depending on the outcome. That is not a democratic nation of laws. Thats an authoritarian regime. If you cannot see that, you have fallen too deep in your own propaganda.

That's not true at all.

Adjusted with inflation, assuming all people hired got salary bumps to offset inflation, you're looking at 3% to 4% of the population. That is not most. That is not even many. That is a few.

A few people are better off today adjusted for inflation. The majority of people are not.

If you did not get a 20% to 25% bump during the past couple years you are worse off. If you got a 20%-25% pay bump, you're pretty much where you were before except major life goals are more expensive so you're also worse off. If you got 30%+ bump, which some definitely did, then they're better off. It is NOT most.

Love the Chinese phones. None of this crap US stuff is enabled. It's baked into the system ROM so it is there. But on mine it has never transfered any data, not even ever been active. It's just dead code taking up a few megabytes.

I don't care who the jackass is. I do care about idiots like you giving up your freedoms because you're too stupid to understand how the justice system is supposed to work which allows it to now work in this dystopian cluster way.

The same way that the west shits on China for. Preemptive policing.

You know how the law actually works? Assume you're being stalked. You're a woman, and some Tater Tot is creeping you out and following you in public. As long as he doesn't trespass or actually touch/assault, he's done nothing wrong. Women have attempted to sue to get restraining orders and protective orders against such creepy people and it is denied. Because that's how the law works. You cannot be presumed to be guilty of an upcoming potential offense and be punished for it. They must actually commit that offense.

People afraid of their lives, being threatened with murder, have had the police tell them there's nothing they can do until they actually attempt to kill them. That's how the law works.

To bend the law in cases for public opinon just diminishes the law entirely. Being against tyranny does not make you a supporter of a criminal.

When there's lots of money coming in, that's just free market Republic politics at work. Especially when it's a "friendly" country.

When someone else does it, it's a crime beyond all horrors that can never be allowed.

When the US does it and it leads to strife, famine, genocide, etc it's just called spreading democracy and American values to the world.

Unfortunately it's still nearly impossible to sue and get what you're due when you're the victim of these assholes in blue. The revenge is real.

But that wouldn't be fun for the paramilitary police.

ACAB

What he was brought in for, this particular incident, is a before.

It doesn't matter if you like or hate or don't know who he is. Being arrested for someone else saying you might maybe do something, is not a reality the people should accept.

Presumptive policing is very dangerous. Articles that use it as copaganda to show them gettin' the bad guy before the bad happened is just desensitizing people to how and why it was allowed to happen in the first place.

They care for show. But they also care because Saudi style help, would be them owning the land essentially. Now Saudi could build the Suez canal competition in the strip. The Saudis dislike the Egyptians and love more money. That's my tin foil hat conspiracy anyways.

But the Democrats are specifically touting you are better off financially. The whole pandemic thing and death and unemployment is a different topic. If you add up all the Americans that switched to a higher paying job in the past 4 years that offsets inflation I don't know what the number would be.

If it's 6 million jobs a year (6.4m in 2021) and 50% get a raise, that's 3million peeps a year better off. 4 years, 12million people. 12/300 is 4%. So the economy is factually better for 4% of the country.

That's not a "the economy is doing great!" slogan. That's a "4% of the working class is doing great! The other 96% can suck rocks and like it"

Edited: The 50% came from a self reported study in 2022 that said 50% of respondents said they were paid the same or more in their new job. Even if it was 5% more they're included in the above number. So I feel this is a very generous number of 4%.

The issue is the Republicans are correct. Are you better off now vs 4 years ago financially? For the majority of Americans, that's a no. For almost all Americans that's a no.

Even on MSNBC they never answer that question financially. It's always about being locked up during Covid, stacking the courts, etc. The only thing doing better are stocks which are worthless until you cash them out. And the minority of people who job hopped.

Democrat voters aren't idiots like republicans. Telling them you're doing better when they factually are not will grind many peoples' gears.

US credit cards still don't use a PIN. The rest of the world uses Chip&Pin or nfc contactless. The US uses magnetic strip very often, chip and no pin, and now contactless. The verification if asked, is not a PIN, it's the billing zip code (5 digit postal code of the US). Usually just petrol pumps ask.

It's also why I strongly advise any foreigner visiting Murica to learn the default zip for their card. If you use an international card (any non American card in America) it will still ask you for your zip code and if it fails, no petrol for you. And in the US you must pay BEFORE you pump so you could quite literally be stranded because of their archaic banking system.

Many European cards use 00000 or 12345. I've seen some Asian cards that use the last 5 digits of the card. Even if you have an American card if you aren't the standard boring American household that never moves, it can be a pain. The card may have its billing address (and therefore zip) set to a place you've never been. But you have to remember it.

Yes you'd be one that job hopped during the best time to. Before layoffs with huge increases. For you with 2 hops even with high inflation, you're probably better off. Which is awesome. But abnormal.

Yes but the data is skewed. The 20.6% is true. But if you don't buy those items that's not the amount. Many items are double what they were. Lots over 50% increase.

Vehicles, insurance rates, computer components, huge increases. Eggs, milk, and bread 20%. Not everyone is buying only staples.
