Thank you, you’ve been very helpful!

Thank you!

I’ll avoid DMing her right away as I could make things awkward for real when they don’t deserve to be. But I will definitely try to catch up with her later if she’s fine with it.

You’re right I’m thinking through this too much while she might not be thinking about it at all, it isn’t worth. Even if she does or did think about it, she knew me for 3 years afterall and would know it’s how I am sometimes.

Also true, the DMs are always an options so I can catch up with her anytime.

That’s great, I’m sure it even made them do better at school as they’re probably not as easily distracted by tech.

Did they manage to keep their child’s iPad usage time under reasonable limit though?

I guess the question would be then, are you planning on staying in your city?

How do you find it?

I’ve made a bad habit of attaching the word “reddit” to the end of too many of my searches even for questions that I should be looking for their answers in trusted sources instead of taking answers from random redditors the blackout has helped a little with avoiding that.

Around 1 am I suppose. I don’t like being awake at that hour very much, if anything I love to sleep and wake up early. .

I struggle with this too atm, I’m just not hardwired to switch my sleep schedule so easily and on short notice.

It’s fascinating how much us humans can endure.

Feels a little apocalyptic.

What kind of a monster even THINKS of stabbing children?

I bought a Flip 4 last October. While I liked a lot of stuff about it I was anxious about keeping it as my main driver for the next 3-4 years.

Aside from the fear of the folding mechanism wearing down heavily over the years, I was disappointed by small quality stuff such as those plastic bumpers at the bottom bezel of the screen that fell off after a few months. Other than that, the battery was small for such a big phone, 3700 mah for a 6.7 inch phone while unfolded, so the battery life wasn’t that good, the camera experience was a bit mediocre, there are only two camera lens on the back, none of which are zoom lens just doesn’t do it for me. There’s also the thing of having to open the phone and close it everytime which was annoying.

I didn’t think I could sell it, especially when the small coverscreen was cracked or scratched (I couldn’t tell which at the time) . Anyway, some retail chain offered trade ins for a list of phones including mine, while they didn’t offer much for it on paper and in reality, I reckoned there’s no other way I could rid of it in it’s state and because it’s a foldable and people would be wary of buying it used. So I took the hit, lost much of what I paid for it and traded it in for the regular S23.

As I said I liked so much stuff about it, especially the coverscreen and clutching it while folded felt nice, I also miss the sidekey fingerprint scanner but I regret buying the phone since I was clearly not the target audience, also the technology hasn’t yet matured and many of the issues I mentioned may be resolved in future iterations.

Hence, after all, I should’ve just waited for the S23 Ultra.

It’s a terrible tragedy, apparently it’s the worst disaster of its kind in the country in over a country, I can’t even imagine what it’s like for the victims and their loved ones. RIP
