What offense?

I mean aside from the glass eye, he seems relatively healthy.

Same reason they post their kids all over Facebook.

Cool. I'm out then.

They have 17% of the world's population within their own borders. They have plenty of customers.

What's your favorite meal to prepare for a special occasion?

I think the main reason I don't use the outer screen more is just that if I'm on my phone I'm generally stationary and can open it up without sacrificing convenience. It's like, 75% open, 25% use the outer screen in general. I also have a Pixel watch for like, at-a-glance notifications.

Completely agree that there is ZERO point to the outer screen if you can't use any app you choose. Here is my outer home screen:

(Yes, I own a Tesla. No, I'm not a Nazi. I bought it in April 2024 used and owe more than I'd get on a trade. Yes I know there are incentives right now. No they won't make a difference. No, you don't know my finances. No, I'm not going to discuss it any more.)

And yes, Pokemon Go works on the outer screen... Kind of. It's hard to hit the buttons. Throwing balls though, just fine. The more I think about it, being on foot or on a bike is the perfect situation for pretty much all of what the outer screen can do.

The main screen, though - fantastic. I love the Moto UI for Android. I like a small text size and lots of icons.

Mine is the 2024 base version. The plus or ultra or what the fuck ever just has a slightly bigger outer screen and... Idfk what else but I haven't felt the need for more. Quite happy.

I replaced 2 Pixels in a row which both died in less than a year with this. Better battery life, thermals, and UI than the Pixel. Camera is acceptable, but Pixel is the king there. I have a Pixel 6a which is a burner/camera when I want real photography. Quite happy.

I've got one. Moto Razr.

It fits in my pocket much better than a slab phone.

I don't use the outer screen much. Generally when I need to fumble around and change media or unlock my car or something with stuff in my other hand. But Moto's implementation of the second screen is pretty good.

I like a very large screen and I like portability. If this phone breaks, I'll probably get either another one like it or a larger one like a Pixel Fold or something.

The solution to the fragile inner screen is - and I know this is a complex idea so bear with me - you close the phone when you're not actively using it. Seriously, it's a complete non-issue.

My biggest complaint is the Moto software. I've had other Moto phones before and had similar issues - they're WAY too aggressive with battery optimizations killing background apps. Like holy shit. I have to go in every few days and reset settings that the phone changed on its own so that my VPN stays connected for more than 10 minutes at a time because it wants to kill the app to save battery. But that has nothing to do with the screen.

Very much this.

I was hoping to imply that with the phrase "road users" but I wasn't explicit about it.

Cyclists too. If you can't keep a cyclist safe you shouldn't be allowed in a car.

All I know is that when you're out of slits, then you're out of pier.

Yes. Don't listen to people who tell you not to.

The indicator is for communicating your intent to change the position (which lane you're in) or direction (turning in or out of a road, parking space, etc.) of your car.

The safest thing you can do as a driver is to be PREDICTABLE to other drivers. The indicator communicates necessary information for other drivers to predict your actions.

Not using one when changing the position or direction of your car is inconsiderate and dangerous to other road users. It is also illegal.

Use them. Please.

You mean to tell me that not bashing children's heads against a rock is a uniquely christian value.

You, specifically, possibly. I don't know you and I certainly don't care who "your people" are. But if you rely on a sky fairy to tell you it's bad to bludgeon children to death rather than having basic compassion to tell you, signs aren't good for you. All you'd need is for a charismatic sociopath to tell you the magic cloud genie changed its mind and then it's all of our brains bashed in. History has proven that.

And this is why religions are so dangerous and terrifying right here.

If you can't answer that question on your own, you are frightening.

Sin is defined is an act in defiance of god. There is no god to defy.

Your question presumes that harm can only come from sin. That presumption is nonsensical in the absence of a god.

Sin is a myth. There is no god to judge you.

Consider the harm your actions and beliefs cause. The rest is bullshit.

I think it's a bullshit rule, myself.

But it is a clearly-stated rule.

The real question is how many accounts you want to throw at it, because if you ask me, in for a penny in for a pound.

And it is morally correct to harass elon.

Only if you have mesothelioma too.

It's important to note that even in that scenario, he's limited to a total of 10 years. If he would take over from a VP position, he could exceed 10 total years as POTUS.

Whatever "limited" means in the current state of things is another question.

If we're being real, it's not likely at all. He's probably safer than Biden was.

Not only does the secret service impose incredibly tight security (not perfect, mind you), but Trump doesn't go anywhere except the White House and his shithole golf course.

In order to assassinate him, it would probably have to be an inside job. That seems exceptionally unlikely.
