    Ehh.

    Best way to get over the idea of being a cheap brand is sell something for a high price that people actually buy, and on top of that hopefully rave about it.

    I use to have used a lot of Motorola phones in my life with the last being a Moto G. Amazing phones. Features like chop flashlight and double tap to turn of screen were game changers. The speed and graphics were on par with what I needed. Great phones.

    But do I as a consumer see Motorola as a “flagship” phone. If you gave me unlimited money to buy a phone would I go out and have gotten the top of the line Motorola over my S25+? It could possibly be comparable to the S25 Ultra. I don’t even know why I would need an S25 Ultra. But I don’t know what the top of the line Motorola phone is or was at that time.

    This could change that. And that is what they need because they do make great phones in my experience.

    They start high and then get cheaper. You are basically paying to reserve the seat. The price will fall until it hits someone’s price range.

    It you wanted to wait until the game starts you can buy significantly cheaper tickets. But if you want a certain designated seat and to get there early then you have to pay for that.

    Not saying it’s a good way to do it. But this does give the person that’s willing to pay more the rights to the seat vs something like a first come first serve system. In those, the scalpers buy them up and resale. Harder to scalp the overpriced tickets because the scalpers have to continuously follow the price and gamble, not just buy them for their “lowest price” at a certain time.

    The reasons to own one are that they’re cheaper, plug and play, you can buy and trade physical games, and the exclusive games

    The reason I’d buy another console is because of the controller environment.

    I enjoy shooting games. I enjoy sitting on my couch.

    Yet if I play on my PC with a controller it’s going to be an awful experience.

    I don’t want to sit at my desk with proper posture.

    I just want to relax and have fun. Console gives me that.

    I use to be big into Overwatch. The difference between PC and Console is huge in that game, the whole vibe of the game changes. Personally I enjoy the chaotic nature of less precise aiming. Creates interesting scenarios where you have to adapt and overcome. I’d hate it if every game was “I hope our sniper can point and click their sniper first”

    Counting to 100 is like learning to read. Yes both are basic tools needed to learn English or math.

    Do I need to know that the Ming Dynasty ruled from 1368 to 1644? Is anything about the Ming Dynasty relevant to my life? I cannot remember the other handful of dynasties so I guess the Ming Dynasty could be the only one needed to function.

    Yes history is important and definitely worth telling people. But having them memorize stuff that you can look up in a textbook is dumb.

    I could walk into any high school level history class and pass the test if it was open book and if I had enough time I’d probably find all the answers.

    Anyone couldn’t walk into a Calculus class and pass the test with it being open book if they didn’t know how to do Calculus. Yes they could read the whole chapter and learn to do it then pass the test. But there’s no looking up the answers in the book. It’s not memorizing.

    We know this is necessary because of cultures that are missing whole concepts like particular colors. The idea of right and left. So on.

    Cultures are not missing whole concepts like particular colors or left and right. They just express it differently.

    Light red is pink. But a light blue is still light blue, maybe baby blue or sky blue.

    Russia has the word голубой for light blue. It’s equivalent to our pink. Are we missing the whole concept of light голубой? No.

    The cultures understand them being a different color and even more so they understand how it’s a mix or part of a color group. Being able to point and say “orange” when equal red and yellow are mixed isn’t a necessary skill. Like what would you say if something was a mixture of equal parts green and yellow? You could say chartreuse. If you didn’t know that word are you really missing out on everything chartreuse?

    The right and left thing I think you’re referring to the tribe that uses cardinal directions? Thinking in terms of cardinal directions instead of left or right is a bit bizarre and I don’t know exactly how deep it goes. Like if i wanted to tell you to hang the picture to the right of the fireplace, I would have to know the cardinal directions of your house? Cardinal directions are extremely useful to use in English. East side wall of your house tells you exactly what wall it is. Left or right doesn’t mean anything unless I say something like “facing your house”. If I knew your fireplace was on your north wall I could easily say “Hang the picture east of your fireplace” meaning hang it to the right.

    They do have a point. School should be about learning and developing critical thinking skills rather than memorizing who the 30th president was.

    I know my schooling had a ton of memorization. Funny to think about now that I know I have Aphantasia because I always excelled in math and science because they are less about memorization and more about learning a concept to apply.

    They need to teach kids how to use AI. It’s like people that won’t let you use a calculator in math. “You aren’t always going to have a calculator in your pocket”

    I’ve always been a big supporter of open book/note tests

    There is no reason I should be able to recite as much of the Canterbury Tales as I can.

    The women have to have an attractive face. Face>Body. I don’t really care for porn with the face hidden but if I can imagine her having a nice face then it could work.

    Weird/unattractive guys in a video kill it. Rather just be a “normal” guy that I don’t really pay attention to.

    I’ll be honest, I watch some trans porn sometimes because I really don’t care where the dick is attached too. As long as she has a pretty face thats what matters. In a way seeing her pleasure herself with something that I can relate to is much more enjoyable than watching a solo pussy performance (probably my least favorite porn, she would have to have an absolutely beautiful face). I’m imagining any dick I see in porn as my own.

    I’m picky too and 90% of my porn experience everytime is searching for “the perfect video”. Guess it’s like foreplay. I won’t generally watch a video again unless I stumble upon it again. I do have some woman that fit my ideal dream girl look and will sometimes search for just them. But I do really enjoy the hunt lol.
