Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

I'm not sure if I should like that for the gif or to feel the pain you're going through.

My rant is about poison ivy again. I failed to notice the huge amounts of poison ivy growing where I was wallering around barefoot dumping grass in the woods. As a result, a week later I have rashes all over my legs, feet and arms. Went to urgent care so she could prescribe me some Steroid. Fuckin itches and burns gahhh dammit.

Ah.... yeah, completely different situation there. You've got renewable energy

No need to convert anything.

My rant is I'm not sleeping properly at all. I can't seem to sleep past 2:00.
All caused by staying up late ONE night a few weeks ago. Fuuu
I took some Piracetam today, hopefully, if I take some more in a couple of hours, I'll start feeling really tired once it wears off, just in time to go to sleep at a reasonable hour.
I hope.

it was hot as fuck out today. which, actually isn't THAT hot i guess compared to where some of you guys live, but i hate heat. i can tolerate it on my bicycle but otherwise it makes me miserable. today was the hottest day at work so far. even my drive home (11:30pm), i still needed to turn the ac on.

but, there's no ac in factories... it's always a few degrees hotter inside, plus it's dead heat--no breeze. the air's thick, and the heat smacks you in the face every step you take. covered in sweat just walked 10 feet. whiles that all sucks, the thing i really hate is when it's really hot. like today. because then i get headaches which last the rest of the day. bah.

I was browsing the Irish ebay for a second hand iphone 4 and all of a sudden a wild amazing deal appears, here's what it said

Got iphone 32gb as present, don't want it becuase I already have a samsung galaxy s. Willing to bargain, starting price 200 euro. Never used before but has a slight hairline crack otherwise in perfect working condition

So I click on the add and I see this picture

Slight hairline crack

^ That guy is retarded to ruin an iPhone like that o.o

It is true that androids are alot more powerful, have way better camera's, battery life, mobile speeds, privacy, flash, java, custom themes, multiple looks, larger screens.....but what good is all that when you have a shitty appstore.

I haven't checked, so forgive me: do other devices have similar high dpi to apple devices? Each I've seen in person seems to have a shittier resolution to screen size.

Dreamboard = custom themes. Photon browser = flash.

Yes the samsung galaxy s3 and htc one x have 319 dpi, while the iphone has 326 dpi.

Actually, Android 4.1 abandoned java in favor of HTML5... (ya know, like the iPad did a few years ago?) But I don't have a smartphone, so whatever

Lol...

Don't forget horrible optimization of apps on different tier devices, much less responsible interface. While iOS is easy and fast to use, with all quality apps well optimized.

-True, that there are android phones with better cameras out there, but after a specific resolution, it doesn't change anything.
-Battery life, it's all based on how you use your phone, doubt they are any better than iOS.
-Privacy? You say you don't have privacy on iOS? Where did you get that?
-There are browsers for iOS that support flash and java.
-Jailbreak your phone = ultimate customization.
-Multiple looks? Well, i personally don't find any android phones better looking than the iPhone, not even mentioning that most android phones are made with cheap plastic and glass that breaks on first drop.
-Larger screens? Thanks, but i'd rather use my phone with one hand and not be forced to hold it with two hands at all times.

While the smartphone users fight, I look at my dumbphone. Maybe I should try throwing it and see if the window breaks. Nah. Not gonna do that, then I'll need to spend a little money to buy another dumbphone.

Back on topic in a serious tone, I actually feel inferior if someone I don't know well looks at my phone. But I don't have much use for it other than sms and calling so if these two works well and my phone can be left for days without charging (because I don't use it while waiting to see if any company calls me for job interview), why not stick with it? The only time I actually feel I need a smartphone is when I wanted to snap a shot with that actress I saw the other day. I don't need a third party to help with a smartphone but my camera is too bulky for me to snap a shot of myself but it's much, much clearer so oh well.

Android still wins

long hair don't care

lol everyone. I use a Tracfone so I have no opinion/experience on the subject I use my cellphone as little as possible. If someone calls me on it, I pick it up long enough to tell them I'll call them back on the computer. I love Gmail's voice chat.

Dave, Tommo, Sefalik.

My rant is that my recall has been exceptionally crappy for the last couple of weeks. I think it's mostly because my sleep itself has been so crappy. I blocked my door this morning and kicked the dogs out and I slept wonderfully. But my recall still sucked because I got up too quickly to rush to the restroom.
I also can't tell if I'm hot or cold. I think I'm chilled but the humidity is so high I'm also warm. Is that possible lol

I'm also craving Cafe Du Monde Beignets >:[

Wasn't feeling well at all this morning, so I took the day off work.

One of my co-workers added me to Facebook, asked for my #, asked me out to lunch, walked home with me and then hung out with me last night. I haven't dated in a while or been interested in pursuing anyone for a few years now (just healing myself from past issues) but it seems like this girl is making a full court press. The kicker is, I've always been with women around my age (a year or two younger at the most) or even older. She is going to be going to college this Fall so she's quite a bit younger. I don't know what to do or what to make of it. I asked her to go to Batman on Friday, but she already had plans. Which is fine, but I really don't know how to play this. Either way, it gives me confidence and a boost -- something I've lacked in myself in regards to women for a while now.

Hope ya'll are doing great.

Believe me, Ive jailbroken my iphone since the first days, I know the differences.
Btw what you say is so horribly flawed I can't even think of where to start. "Battery life, it's all based on how you use your phone, doubt they are any better than iOS."

Mine is just as flawed as yours, lol. What's your point?

You can always make up stuff to make it seem better... but that won't make it better.

What is the battery life on iphone? (just curious)
my epic 4g touch usually get's 20-27+ hours depending on how i use. It's currently been going for about 22 hours and I still have half of my battery left. This is with a lot of texting, a few short phone calls and moderate internet access. I don't have an extended battery either :O
Rant though I'm still waiting for it to get ICS >_< Apparently sprint started rolling it out on like the 13th? Apparently everyone with this phone should get the OTA by the 20th.

I charge mine once every 2-3 days.... mostly because I have the auto-brightness feature off and have the brightness pretty low (lowest).

Okay I'll try again.
-Camera is better that changes everything, its one of the main reasons people buy a phone
- battery life isn't based on how you used you phone, secondly Iphone operating system has nothing to do with battery life.
- Apple is a hungry money devouring company
- No browser on Iphone currently supports true java, the ones that support flash are terrible, even after jailbreak.
- jailbreak your phone = get features which should have been incorpirated and a few other fun things.
- true most phones don't look as pretty as the iphone and are usually only made of strong plastic
- actually the perfect screen size was measured at 4 inches not 3.5.

That better

Experiencing hay fever in the middle of the night. Maybe it's too cold, checks temperature, 27 degree Celsius. Too cold yeah. Damn hay fever.

Oh ya just incase you wanted to know another reason why android is better is because it has the fpse app which coupled with the samsung galaxy s3 makes for probably the best ps1 phone emulator possible.
