I really do find it funny that I never see memes or comments making fun of any other company relating to phones.

Don’t get me wrong. I have had android phones, windows phones, and even PalmOS phones. I know Apple is always behind the times, their comment about copy and paste needing to be perfect before release drove me up a wall. If I remember correctly, it was a jailbreak developer that made copy and paste available on the iPhone a few years before officially being released.

However, I never see people make fun of other companies after they announce a new release. Yall must really hate Apple.

Huh? I only see Stair 2. Odd. Why would they number it that way. I am sure I am not the only one.

Fair points. Thanks for the lesson. TIL a lot.

Man, I really appreciate so many good folks giving info and not flaming each other. This is a great community.

I know it’s not the same but quick connect works well. Why not log in that way using a six digit code?

Good bot.

I miss it so much. No joke I miss smoking.

However I will not pick up a vape. It took HOW MANY FUCKING YEARS, for us to have the smallest understanding of what it was causing. We are in no way shape or form in a position to know what vaping is truly causing inside the human body.

How cigarettes were being prescribed to asthmatic as a cure for asthma? The best filter was the asbestos filter, who fucking knows what similar shit is happening and being recommended in the vaping world that we don’t know the full effects of.

I was about to post the same. Never watched it and I am told I am missing out but the names always cause me to be like “no… I think you have those names wrong”

They came after the beans, and those came after the corn.

It’s the leaf on the left.

For ages it was a brown color and back then it legit looked like a cornucopia.

Very Futurama.

Dan Brown Inferno

I totally saw a boob!

It’s nuts how the phrase “Kodak moment” has changed.

Your points and observations are very well taken and I admit yes now I would be like WTF.

Your good man, that’s why we should always keep engaging with conversations and discourse. No apologies needed.

Again you are correct and have change my view on it. Accepting “they may not know” (I honestly wouldn’t put it past people like this to suggest to their entire squad to get ‘this cool skull and bones tattoo’) is a bad position and forgives people for not knowing what they are doing. And I think I read it was freaking months of not years after he was informed and fixed it. If I found out there was a symbol on my body was one of hatred and violence I would find an ink shops that very day.

I had seen it and found the skit very entertaining. However I honestly thought it was just a made up symbols akin to pirates for that skit and only recalled the skull but not the bones. (Doesn’t help that I only remembered the ‘they have skells on them’)

Not trying to be combative with this point because I think it goes with location and personal history. I know you have much more knowledge about this stuff based on how you speak about it. For me it was not a know symbol and not in the top 5. Swastika, SS, war eagle, Astra pistols (my grandfather took one off a soldier in WW2 and had it in his box, to me that was a symbol), then the black sun. Just trying to point out that other symbols were the major ones for me due to the effect they had on my upbringing.

Thanks for keeping people focused on real issues, and continuing to engage in conversations about pitfalls we can fall into by ignoring things.

I think you’re missing my point. And YES, I just told you it wasn’t part of my history lessons. Are you based in the U.S.? If so, eastern, western, north, south, midwest? They all have different types of history being taught in school. For example, in the southeast there was a much bigger unit on trail of tears than in the Midwest. Also I bet if I asked you the name of the fertility statue from the Paleolithic you wouldn’t know it because it wasn’t part of your history lessons. Clearly that version of the totenkopf image was part of your history lessons or part of your history.

If you asked me what skull a bones together mean I would have said pirates and I would have been right because that’s the version of totenkopf I know. As I have now done a quick read on Wikipedia I must disagree with you about it be one of the most recognized symbols. How can it be one of the more recognized symbols if the main use was in concentration camps. They weren’t flying it all over or even putting it on all the uniforms. So yes, please accept that many people don’t know it.

Also no I didn’t say “ohh no this guy is totally not a nazi” but by all means put words in people’s mouth and ignore what they’re saying as it seems you do constantly. What I’m saying is most people I know, don’t know that symbol and thus can readily believe he didn’t know either. Thus the issue with pointing to it and saying “see this guys a nazi” is history lessons. If you’re going to point to shit, point to his words and comments not a tattoo.

Am I going to go dive into this guys Reddit history and learn about him, no. I will not be voting for him and I won’t be voting for his opponent. Not my area and thus I don’t need to go learn all the shit about him.

I fully admit I am not the smartest or best student of history. However I recall no lessons un symbolism in any history class other than ancient Egypt and Neolithic era or late Stone Age.

Make not mistake I am not supporting any hatred other than towards Nazis. However when I first saw the image I honestly thought it was from Warhammer or something.

The issue with this kind of stuff is history. As a 40 you’re old American, whose grandfather served in World War II, I had no idea what that tattoo meant before this whole scandal.

The only symbolism we ever went over in school was the flag and swastika. I believe they thought dumb kids would mimic the iconography to look edgy.

And even if it truly isn’t for measuring a perfect shot for making a cocktail, it STILL IS a perfect equal measure if you want to hand out shots to a group of people. May not be a full shot but no one gets less or more than others.

Instant recognition as well. I remember the owner eventually swatting the thing out of the house. Or was that Tom?

Midwest. - I should note I am from the Midwest as well. Self deprivation is all good. Trolling people and saying “No culture” doesn’t help. Just creates animosity.
