It add to a phone's useful life though, if you can buy one secondhand and turn it into cheap office machine. Good for environment because more mileage.

Most people buying smartphones are not tech savvy enough to do that. Or at least, it is not what people in the United States are doing. A know there are some countries that tend to not upgrade as often.

That okay, secondhand market could be in another country. That how it work with your clothes. Too many Americans seem to get rid of garments that still look brand-new or are easily-repaired.

On the other hand, me have learned not to Google any name-tags me find on clothes, in case it turn up funeral notice. It not a good feeling to realize you an wearing a dead man's (comfy) shorts.

I think they are both equally cute but appeal to different niches.....

Centipedes are too slow and octopi are too rare. That is why we dont freak out over them.

I disagree. (duh :joy:) Honestly, it depends on the actual animal. (not saying that disabled dogs and cats aren't cute or anything, because they are,) but it can also be because of the way some animals act. like if there was a dog with rabies trying to attack you, your obviously going to think that another dog (say it's a toy poodle or something) is cuter because of its personality.

I rather not die on the road. If that means having squishy airbags save my life and having ABS (or even better AWD) when drawing up in the freaking mountains in winter here, I'm A-okay with generic ugliness. Convenience, safety, and practicality over looks. Comfort > style.

Motley Crue doesn't make the same song though :P.

Honestly, I don't hate Nickelback. I like Motley Crue but I never got the Nickelback hate.

I just...can't stand either band, mostly for their lyrical content and overall 'life is a party' themes. I may be a Metalhead, but I definitely don't like music about the whole sex, drugs, and rock n roll mentality. I prefer lyrics that have something meaningful to say, like calling out corruption, or making something constructive out of my life by fighting my inner demons. Heck, even songs about warriors and battle are far more interesting to me. (Not surprising since I write an action comic)

Then...we can get into the actual music. Not only is it not hard enough for my tastes, it's just not that interesting to me, and doesn't line up with my perception of what is 'good music.' (there's a ton of subjectivity there, I won't even pretend to be a gatekeeper. Like what you like for whatever reasons.)

Finally, there's yet another layer, beyond lyricism and music. It is also intrinsically tied to my art and creation of characters and story. Nickelback and Motley Crue add absolutely zero to that. Plus I can't draw to it so...yeah...

Don't worry, I'll hate Nickelback for you.

We're in a very boring period of fashion.

At least when we were wearing multiple belts we were taking risks.

It's not ugly, it's a perfect design. Among the Soviet cars for sure.
Better of this is only German classics from 80-early 90s (like Mercedes W123 and W124 or BMW 5 E28 and E34) and US full-size sedans from 60-80s (like Chevrolet Caprice or Ford LTD/LTD Crown Victoria), or Cadillacs (is in those 5% of modern cars which looks at least ok).

Nobody and nothing will change my mind on that subject.

@CodeMonkeyArts

I'm driving my car without all that fancy electronic stuff every winter and in mountains too, because here are mountainous area already and I didn't died yet and even didn't even crashed at winter. I'm not OK with ugliness. Skill is that what matter.

Style > over everything else.
I'm not so big, but art person, and I'm not going to use things that are looking generic, including cars (of course using my taste of things in choosing, not just things that's looks unusual). Of course I can't afford a classic Mercedes yet, so I use Lada for now.

In big city already nobody drives them so it's really looks different than a rest than 99% of cars (if it's 2010 model) and draws attention if it's 1976 model, that's exactly what I need from car.

Are you mad, have you seen centipedes??? I dislike spiders a whole lot (a bit of a childhood trauma), but yeah, I am okay with little home fellas, but f*cking centipedes, if you ever saw one in your house toilet in the night, this is not something to take lightly :cold_sweat: I haven't ask other people about freaking over those, but maaaaan, I'd die if I saw one on me.

I disagree with what you said about bell pepers. They're so crisp and refreshing and have a lovely subtle sweet taste. I think they're a great addition to a leafy salad, because they add more substance too. Why don't you think bell peppers are appetizing?

@33rdCenturyCaveman Comon. You forgot to disagree with someone. :point_up:

Eh. I don't think that every song should have deep meaning.
Music about sex, drugs and rock'n'roll also can be fun. If well-executed, of course.

(since it's a disagreement thread) I don't care about lyrics at all, mostly I don't listen to them at all :joy:
I suppose it happened because I started listening to the songs in English when I was pretty young, the lyrics of Russian pop scene of 90's were hilariously awful and the only Russian band I could listen to was Agatha Christie, who were freaking drug addicts and this was very clear in their lyrics. I was never striving to understand the lyrics, even though my English wasn't half bad. Then I became a fan of the German music, and of course, I had zero knowledge of the language. In the end, the music and the voice are the only things I care about, they can sing about pink crocodiles in the sky for all I care :grin: I do appreciate good lyrics of course, but I need to read those first anyway, because I won't even hear them in the song.
