Politics really suck these days. The Democrats are useless pushovers and the Republicans are batshit insane.

I wish the Republican party hadn't gone all neocon on us. The true conservatives are a dying breed shrinking day by day.

I'll probably vote for Obama because he's obviously the lesser of two evils. Beats sitting at home and not voting at all like a leftard.

I also have a list of senators and congressmen I'm going out of my way to vote against when I have a chance because they supported the SOPA and PIPA legislations.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
actually, not voting beats going out and voting like a sheep because he's the "lesser of two evils."
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I would have no right to complain about our politics if I didn't vote.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
or, you can vote for a third party. go vote for the pothead guy that always runs lol

also, you can't vote for obama twice and then complain about how he runs this country, either lol (don't know if you do or not, but i know a lot of morons who voted for him in '08, said how much they regretted it, but are going to vote for him again because he's the 'lesser of two evils.' some people just aren't smart..)
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I actually don't complain a whole lot about Obama. I kind of get a bit steamed when people complain about how the current president is doing whenever there's problems, as if the president is some kind of "king". If anything, we should be voting out all the old geezer incumbents in congress that have been there too long.

As for third party candidates, I was hoping that Ron Paul would somehow make it, even though I knew he was likely doomed from the start (as always) for being so idealistic. I knew he had no chance of making it to the Republican vote, considering how he's a bit too sane. I don't even agree with all his policies, either.

America's political system makes me feel America is the new Roman empire. Eventually, we're going to collapse and usher in a new dark age full of uncertainty.

I'll probably vote for a third party candidate if I have an option, provided it isn't something stupid like a socialist party or whatever.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i saw the ballot (mom works the polling for elections so she does early mail in voting) and there were some good party names on there...obviously pot, communist, socialist, and there was one called like "bob's against big taxes party" hahahaha
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I don't know anything about him and already I like the sound of this "bob" fellow.

The other parties seem way too radical for me. If I'm throwing my vote away, it certainly won't be for some lazy commies, crazy reds, or drugged out hippies.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
*sheds tear*

you sure, are a TRUE patriot!
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
Why thank you.

Also, considering how the political season has started already, I'm sure some of you are growing a newfound hatred for several of your Facebook friends thinking they suddenly know everything about what's going on. There's an extension for that called Social Fixer that can help you with that if that's the case. I can't verify how effective it is because I've never had a Facebook, so lol.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah, my facebook feed is full of idiots. whereas i've been *****ing/discussing politics since i started college back in '05, these kids only get amped up when its the political season....sigh.
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I've been into politics since high school.

Unfortunately, back then I was outrageously stupid. And by that, I mean I was an extreme leftist. It seems like only after I started college was when I truly stepped off my ivory tower and came back to reality.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
you know what the great Winston Churchill said.... well I don't remember, but it was along the lines of "if you're 40 or older and are a democrat, you're an idiot." lol
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
It was more of something like "If you're 20 and a conservative, you have no heart. If you're 40 and a liberal, you have no brain."

Of course, I believe this quote has been incorrectly attributed to him, so we don't know who actually said it. Can't blame most people for thinking so since he said a lot of hilarious things. I believe he once fell asleep while while somebody was speaking in Parliament and when the speaker asked him "Must you fall asleep while I'm speaking?" Churchill responds with "No, it's purely voluntary."
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
hahahahahaha... now THAT was a leader!
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
lol, that one's nothing compared to my favorite ones.

One of them is where Lady Astor told him "If you were my husband, I'd poison your tea." He responds with "If I were your husband, I'd drink it!"

And of course, the classic one where a Bessie Braddock tells him "Winston, you're drunk", and he says "Bessie, you’re ugly. And tomorrow morning I’ll be sober, but you’ll still be ugly.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
So, this website sortable.com has on their front page "sort all the options to find the best one for you." You select products and compare using their slick layout engine and whatnot.

So, use the Compare function at the top on two new phones. The words "CONCLUSION: Which is better for you?" come up with stats and a winnner.

Lo and behold, the Galaxy Note II loses out to the iPhone 5 because the Apple device is listed with "100% POPULARITY" versus a measly 24% popularity rating for the Samsung device.

http://sortable.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-32-GB-vs-Apple-iPhone-5

But when comparing the Galaxy SIII and the iPhone5, the same column was "Community" rather than Popularity, and both are rated at 0%. Guess who won?

http://sortable.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-vs-Apple-iPhone-5

Assumedly, there was an issue with trying to rate and compare new devices with old ones based upon the "community" criteria, but replacing it with "popularity" doesn't help "find the best device for me" at all. Well, unless I was an idiotically shallow hipster imitating geeks like these guys.

Edit: Seriously, browsing around this website is a joke from a technical standpoint. Rating and comparing solely on raw numbers with no attention to the technology itself (rating the Rezound S3 CPU as equal to the dual-core One X is absurd.) I hope such a site does not gain popularity, because this is exactly the sort of garbage thinking and analysis that needs to change.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
This is a load off my shoulders. I was hoping you guys weren't liberals. :)

If I could vote, I would definitely vote for Romney. I would even vote for McCain just to get Obama out.

Obama is making things worse day by day, and America can't afford to make another mistake. I think we are doomed soon because we have fallen so far.

Romney may be able to make things a bit better, but the downfall is coming.
[HTC Rezound] Khayos:
If I recall correctly politics is taboo on here anyway, and thankfully I don't vote over here.

All I will say however is save Bigbird!

Well, vote for Romney and he cuts PBS. Vote for Obama and he cut NASA. Pick one.

I say to vote in Neil Degrasse Tyson.

That's it for me on politics.
[HTC Rezound] puhleez:
Or in some locations, vote for BOTH! Vote early, vote often...
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
You do realize there are third parties?

Here in California, it's basically guaranteed to be Obama, so better vote third party.

[HTC Rezound] antp121:
I held an iPhone 5 for the first time... I like it :eek: is still take a DIX or sgs3 over it buut... It feels solid. And the screen is a bit too long. If they made it a touch wider it'd be a better phone imo.
[HTC Rezound] puhleez:
What do you think about the rumored HTC 5" phablet or phablets in general? Seems weird to hold that monstrosity next to my head to make a call.
[HTC Rezound] xxfallacyxx:
AKA the HTC DLX/dlx/Dlx/DIX

There's a thread on it on the first page of this forum, bit of information in there. I'm excited about it. I always thought a 4.3" screen was enough for me, but now I'm kind of thinking a slightly larger on-screen keyboard wouldn't be such a bad thing. It'd help keep me thumbs from pressing the space bar when trying to press the 'n' key.

If there's anything I'm looking forward to, it's news on the One X+ coming to the United States (with all 64GB of storage untampered with, that is).

The DLX looks promising and everything, but the One X is already more entrenched and I'm sure whatever the One X has, the One X+ will be able to get just as easily. Then there's how the One X+ has a better battery life than the original.

Oh, and DLX looks a bit too big for me in size. Nothing wrong with that of course, except I fear if I become used to a size that large, I won't be able to use anything smaller when I change phones in the future.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i would rather think of them as mico tables. ;)

Att for the One X+ :/
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
Ah, what do you know. I guess that's true.

I think my contract expires in April or something. I know AT&T's service isn't so bad in my area, either.

Eugh, but cancelling early to get that phone when it's brand spanking new is going to be really expensive as all hell. I'm going to have to work a lot more hours to be able to afford it.
[HTC Rezound] puhleez:
Nice... micro tablets. :laugh:

Not liking the new trend of fixed sd-card / RAM sizes. Still prefer external micro SD slot myself. Guess that's the new way to make more profit. Hope they keep the DPI up though. Thank you Apple for continuing to push that spec ahead.

Hey Jay, werdna, and any one with a gs3, should I get a gs3 or a Dix when it comes out?
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Wait for the new Nexus(if they do a cdma version).
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
get a dix. honestly when it comes out, im gonna compare the screen to my rezound...upon further inspection, the rezound screen is VERY glossy, and that's one of the downfalls of it...so much glare compared to the gs3
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
They aren't. They are having a difficult time enough right now. The sprint gnex isn't even aosp. The vzw became an aosp device with jb.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:

[HTC Rezound] xxfallacyxx:
Hmmm? I don't understand, are you suggesting that Apple is the reason why we have high-DPI devices?
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
How do you know? Are you one of those testers?

Does werdna know about the next Nexus?
[HTC Rezound] puhleez:
Not suggesting that they are the reason, but for making it more available/mainstream. Everyone wants to compete with the success of the iPhone - just look at the patent wars going on right now... so when Apple (or any other company in that industry) raises the bar, to remain competitive, companies also have to raise the bar with their products.

"Imitation is the sincerest [form] of flattery" - Charles Caleb Cotton
[HTC Rezound] xxfallacyxx:
So Apple is imitating the Rezound, which has a higher PPI? lol

I fondly remember the day my iPhone owning friend, the decent sort, thought his 4S had the highest PPI display on the market. Then I showed him my Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] puhleez:
Yes in many respects, Apple is playing catch-up with the (already existing) high-end smartphones phones on the market. Not only PPI, but in software features. Look at the similarities in notifications between Android and iOS - Android was first there. So, how many people do you know that have a Rez vs. those you know that have an iPhone? Anyway, point was that they are making it more mainstream.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Did anyone see my thread about the new Nexus Program and android 4.2?
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Just checked it out. If I could have the ability to have a Gnote 2 and the ability to turn touchwiz on and off, or change out the skin to run stock, that would be a dream come true. If Google really does announce this new nexus program I forsee that it will be quote popular.

Seriously, people who visit 9gag are people you definitely need to avoid, especially the active ones that feel like 9gag is a good community. It's like they want to feel like 4chan but lack any of the intelligence or originality to pull it off.

Then there's how the people you know who visit 9gag are typically the worst offenders when it comes to meme abuse. They're the people that definitely got into memes only after they caught on with the mainstream. If you ask any of these people what a meme is and they'll probably tell you it's a black and white drawing of a funny face or a picture with text at the top and bottom.

You could go up to any of these people and make an image reading "I used to be EPIC FAIL like a boss until TROLLFACE u y no DEAL WITH A BADASS GAAAAAAAAAY arrow 2 da FOREVER ALONE knee over here! Derp cake is a lie TROLOLOLOLOLOL" on a picture of an animal and they'd see it and think it's totally original and funny.

Rotator Cuff injuries are pretty common. I have been dealing with one for the past 3 months.
