This is something I’ve thought about for a long while. As a socially awkward kid, I read the stories of King Arthur. One of the stories about one of his knights (can’t remember which) the knight is given an enchanted item that charms everyone he speaks to and makes them like him. This immediately captured my fascination as a socially inept kid, but the more I thought about it, it would be living hell.

You would never EVER believe anyone genuinely enjoyed your company again, constantly wondering if it was the enchantment. Even if you removed the item and found someone who liked you natrually without it, normal appreciation or regard would NEVER come close to the enchanted one, and it would now FEEL like they disliked you. It would poison your entire life

I mean, we need scale on the luck too. What is a normal amount of luck. Is +100 luck 200% your normal luck? If so that might kind of suck. If it’s normally ranked out of 10, +100 is worldbreaking shit

You are assuming that they think rationally

Santa has always worked on tips, that’s what the cookies and milk are for

Now I want a fiber optic keyboard cleaning brush

Imagine being able to talk to oysters only to find out that oysters can’t talk back

Somehow I doubt oysters have anything interesting to say

Oh so animal farm was literal?

Nah not really, the catholic church loves going below the belt

Wait you can’t transfer images directly to external harddrives?? Honestly I genuinely wonder why people put up with this shit

We aren’t. That’s what we said- the value proposition isn’t there

On the contrary, being snarky isn’t a waste of time at all

Maybe the question should be why the service was only just worth it at 75% down then

The green text peer pressure means nothing to me, but you are 100% spot on about the ecosystem driving sales. My whole family uses apple and I get left out of so many group chats and face times that I’ve actually considered switching to Apple even though I’m a die hard Note fan. Apples hardware may be nothing special, but they have a killer feature in their seamless, closed ecosystem, and they know it. At the end of the day, a phones job is to communicate, and Apple does that seemlessly- with other Apple devices

This is how we end up with Blaine the Mono

As far as I know, it only uses the camera, and doesn’t use stored photos. Idk, I’ve never downloaded it but that’s my guess

With electricity, duh
