  • It’s ok, mate. Take the L. It’s ok. We all make mistakes. I made one by engaging with you after assuring you i would not.

    You can just accept when you fuck up. It’s more embarrassing for you to think this is still a real conversation, and I’m not just moking you now.

    Better luck next time. Jabroni

    Hey mate, its fine that you made a mistake. Dont worry. You dont need to admit it. I see you trying to brush past it by saying im too serious. You made an argument that missed the point of my comment. I know it embarrassing. And now you are trying to make out like im taking things too seriously to distract from your own failure.

    Dont worry about it. Everyone sees you being a moron.

    Yeah, i normally get that response when people realise they were mistaken and dont want to admit it.

    I told you that it was identified as a troll. You were just as invested as me. You were trying to be condescending. You were ignorant and talking shit about a group of people that it’s easy to shit on.

    All i did was point out that shiting on minorities is bad, and you started shitting on furries.

    Honestly, you can try as much as you like to tell me I’m being too serious, but you were an asshole and you know it.




  • I made a statement that they would lose more than just furries as customers. Which frankly is distinctly possible, if not probable. You made a separate claim that the number of people that would care about furries getting banned from a burger king would be very few. Which is not something you can prove, back up with any evidence or quantify is any real way. I refused to continue a discussion about how many people care about furries as it isn’t really saying anything about my original statement, which, again, was only that people would care.

    Also i get the impression you have a problem with furries. Based on the language you used. I may be wrong, but it doesnt seem likely.

    If you can remove your own personal bias from the conversation and talk less about your opinion that no one cares about furries and more about the fact that banning anyone from any service based on them being themselves is a foul act and one that in most circumstances would piss off more than just those in that subculture then we can talk.



  • The number of people who would boycott a restaurant over furries being banned is going to round down to zero.

    As would my patience for arguing about stuff we can’t usefully quantify.

    Im not going to engage in that discussion.

    Anyway as someone else pointed out, this is likely completely fake.


  • I suppose it could be a net gain, but they most certainly will lose furries and people who support others’ rights to be themselves as customers.

    But yes, overall, they may gain customers. Although i can’t think of a time that i have gone somewhere to eat/shop or use a service more because they discriminate against something i dont personally like.

    I can think of a number of situations where i have stopped using a service because they discriminate against something i support.

    They will lose more customers than just furries.

    Although honestly it would be funny if everyone went out and bout animal costumes and just piled into the place. Just order a drink and fill every seat and doorway in there.

    It would piss them off and be hilarious all at once.


  • It’s just muscle memory. It’s easier with physical keys, but I’ve used a phone of this shape for over 3 years now, and im using it all the time, so touch typing is just what happens with time.

    Maybe playing a musical instrument helps as a lot of that is muscle memory spacial awareness.

    Tbh i dont think we should continue this discussion, i would say we just have different needs in our devices. You won’t see it my way as my way doesn’t meet your needs, and the same goes for me and your needs.

    Having said that, i also dont think it’s helpful for anyone to decide we know something is bad without personal experience or knowledge of the personal experience of those that have it.

    I’m happy to conceed. i came into this ready to argue, but i think it’s better not to.


  • But you introduce another number of downsides. “Non-toy” OS’s are notoriously bad at touch screen operation, mobile OS’s are brilliant at it. Convertable laptops are heavier and have more moving and breakable parts, the batteries dont last as long, the screens are more fragile, they are less widely covered by competant repair services as they are fairly unique in their design, in that they will be harder to get parts for.

    Incidentally. Using a custom rom for an android phone mitigates your offence to being “told what you are allowed to do” with your device, and even linux has mobile OS’s.


  • No, my argument is that they cover a large number of functions that mean i dont need to lug a laptop around with me everywhere. Of course, i will use a laptop or desktop if i can’t do something i need to do on my phone, but it’s so rare now that i dont even know if my laptop is charged.

    Like i mentioned making music. I will use cubasis (sorry, i said elemennts before. That was the one i have on my pc) to sketch out songs. But use my pc when i need a proper recording. But the convenience of composing on my phone (which would be very hard on a none folding or tablet sized screen) takes the majority of the need for my PC for making music away.

    Anyway, you are just telling me that your specific use case means you prefer a full desktop and desktop OS. But your pretentiousness ignores that the majority of people dont need that setup. And whilst my needs might include some niche stuff, many of my needs more closely align with the needs of the many.

    In a question of which is better, the device that meets the needs of the majority is best. Unless you are asking which is best for me, in which case a comparison is meaningless. As all of our needs are different in small ways.


  • Touch typing (assuming your meaning typing without looking at the keyboard) is not impossible. Im doing it right now… muscle memory is a big part of it. Dont forget autocorrect and grammar and spelling suggestions do help as well.

    Regardless. Who needs touch typing on a phone? You are typing slowly enough to follow exactly what you type without needing to check the text box above to see what you typed.

    Let’s not pretend that touch typing on a keyboard for thumbs is the same as touch typing on a full-size keyboard. It’s waaaay closer to touchscreen typing, especially on my folding phone inner screen.

    They may not have tactile feedback, but they do respond with a tiny vibration to show you did hit the key, which is more than enough to alert you if you missed one.

    Look, i’m sorry you suck at typing on a touchscreen keyboard, but that doesn’t make you right automatically.

    And are you just going to forget that you mentioned i have never used a slide out phone keyboard as a point against my argument. but actually i have and now you are just saying you would have liked the samsung one i showed you? Not conceeding anything there? No?


  • You keep calling android/ios a toy operating system. Your bias is showing.

    Its not charitable to call tablets niche. It’s accurate. The same goes for 2-in-1 “convertable” laptops.

    Fact is, if you are arguing that a laptop that doubkes as a tablet is a good device then you are arguing that the need/want and use case for tablets is great enough that they are augmenting laptops into tablets to satisfy that need for consumers.

    Going back to the original point. Foldables are good devices that cover a range of needs that are not met by regular phones. You dont need a laptop to do these things, and i can’t put a laptop in my pocket and use it absolutely anywhere by just taking it out of my pocket and pressing the power button.

    Your insistance on arguing that desktops and laptops are the only way to do anything is just wrong. That is proven by the market share. Desktops have about 35% and phones have about 60%

    Its not even close.
