Looking pretty much same at this moment ![]()
Any and all Proximity Tasers, they’re the best assassin especially since they can one hit 47.
I think I just got one of the greatest ideas ever. So though out each year, we always spend money for birthdays, hoildays, romantic occasions ect and that can add up to a lot goddamn money! But instead of doing this every year, what if people did it every other year? Could you imagine how much money that would save? Now of course our friends and family are not gonna exactly leap at the idea, but I thought hey if they really love us then they wouldn’t want to see us go broke, right? ![]()
- I’m in! Let’s get this show on the road!
- Hell naw! They would fu**ing kill me if I tried that!
- I’m actually ok with it as is
I’m ok with it as it currently is, but your idea is solid. I could see it working. Just gotta get everyone in your circle on the same page. Do you gift on odd numbered years or even?
It should always be about the thought not the price paid though. I have made my own card out of construction paper with an only halfway funny joke I came up with myself and I did a terrible job illustrating it with sharpie marker, but
liked that far more than the earrings I got the next year that cost a couple months salary.
Here’s how I like to envision the conversation playing out: Hello my love ones! I’d like to take a year off from buying you shit and you don’t have to buy me shit either! We’ll pick it up again next year but as of now, I don’t wanna spend another goddamn dime on you! ![]()
Gifts… Whether you’re giving or receiving, they shouldn’t come with the burden of keeping them if you don’t want or need them. Some relatives of mine… The mother gave a figurine to her oldest daughter and wrote a personal message on it (somewhere). Sometime later the mother finds the figurine in a thrift store, finds the message she wrote on it, and ends up asking her daughter why she gave it away. I believe the daughter was unaware of the message. Don’t get the idea that “If you don’t keep my gift it means you don’t love me!” Because that’s kinda petty. Don’t guilt trip someone if they don’t want or like a gift. Also, don’t make a gift so special that the recipient must keep it out of obligation to you.
Don’t get me started on workplace ‘Secret Santas’. Unless the people involved don’t get to say what they’d want/like, and you’re just left to guess what to get whichever coworker’s name you pick… Screw that! Maybe I’ll get the stupidest gift I can find so I won’t be included in the event next year. ![]()
I know that last part was out of the blue, but I couldn’t help but express my opinion since I got started.
When your phone is in your pants pocket, how do you have it positioned?
- Screen facing my leg
- Screen facing away from my leg
Screen facing inside, like any sensible being would.
Wait… am I the only one that keeps the screen away from my leg?..


I sometimes do but like 95% of the time I have it facing my leg
Why would you do that? You reach in your pocket, grab it, take it out, and then have to turn the phone around to have the screen face you? ![]()
You’re actually not alone, I tend to do the same (but not always). I feel like more energy comes out of the screen for whatever reason, so if our phones are going to give us all ball cancer in a couple decades maybe that gives you better odds? Idk, there’s probably nothing to that but you never know.
I have no idea! It’s in a wallet case so it’s covered on each end.
I always keep the back of the phone facing my leg since there is a lot of rubbing between the phone and the material of my pants, while there is a bit more room on the side with the screen.
During summer, the back of my phone, the case of the phone I should say, is always wet from sweat, while the screen is dry.
I always do a fancy hand movement while taking my phone out of my pocket to get the screen facing me, it became natural. When I buy a new phone, I always play with it to get the feel of its weight, size compared to my hands and how slippery it is. ![]()
If you have the screen facing out away from your leg, it significantly increases the chance that if you bang your leg into something it will break the screen.
I’m never cheap when it comes to good screen protectors and cases. The phone I have now has a screen protector along with a double-sided case ![]()
The back cameras are the only vulnerable parts which are protected by my jambon of a leg ![]()
Irrelevant. The best protection is an object having to skewer all the way through your leg in order to break the screen.
The ensuing conversation has left me with a question:
- Phone in front pocket
- Phone in back pocket
- I’m a lady and they don’t give us fuckin pockets argh
I don’t have a preference and usually put it anywhere but most of my clothes don’t have pockets so I guess I’m a bit of all 3 options
