I thought the majority of Chinese people who like Trump because he’s an idiot who tries to punish China but ultimately fails and benefits China instead

Back in the 1800s, some school related shootings were parents/students shooting a teacher for practicing corporal punishment

Yes. Communism doesn’t mean exploitation no longer exists, it just means you seek to reduce it as much as possible. Inequality will always exists, and it can be as local as your manager forcing you to work uncompensated overtime without knowledge or consent from the party or government. You can have all the communist laws and theories, but you still need people to make sure those laws and theories are understood and practiced. Shitty management will exist regardless of ideology because not everyone is cut out for it.

Fuck Biden, but I can understand why a union member would think he’s pro labor. His reputation doesn’t really involve labor in either way. But, before Trump was president, the number 1 reason why people liked him because he was a piece of shit who cheats, cons, and lies. He was the people’s asshole because his whole demeanor was cartoonish enough for people to not believe he was a real human being. Why would you believe someone with this reputation will help you lmao

1. Phone flashlights arent bright enough for long distances - if you walk in the dark, you’ll see a couple of inches in front of you. You’ll have to be very up close to see finer details. A powerful flashlight can come in a small and cheap package and light up the entire block like a helicopter searchlight. Makes things safer because not every street is lit, and a tiny phone light can be ambiguous when seen by someone else.
2. I dont want to pull out my phone for every single task
3. “ Right, because you have too many light laying around...” What? You do understand that it will still leak if you have a single flashlight right? That’s how alkaline works
4. If your phone dies, you won’t have a light
5. Powerbanks will, again, drain as you use them. What happens when it’s gone?
6. You can’t be hands free with your phone light
7. An unused flashlight with proper batteries will last a long time. You will likely use your powerbank frequently and drain it.
8. A dead phone requires several minutes of charging before turning on again, and even then you only have a few minutes before it dies, and you may not be able to afford to wait to get a decent charge. You can instantly swap batteries in lights and get it to 100% capacity.
9. You can check the health of your battery cells ahead of time and be prepared. Your phone will likely have a vague percentage health indicator, and if you have an iPhone, replacing it with non Apple batteries completely destroys your ability to check your battery health. This could make charging even worse as it’ll drain even faster without any warning, or not charge at all
10. Phones break. If you send it off for repair or drop it at certain angles, you break your screen or your flash lens, you no longer have a light. Good quality flashlights will not break if you drop it on its lens.
11. Not everyone knows how to use or own a phone. A child or old person will intuitively press a flashlight and the light turns on. There is no gesture or swiping or pressing some icon. A child might not be able to afford or be allowed to have some smartphone with a light, but he can rummage in their drawer for a flashlight.
12. Phones are getting larger by the day. I can carry a tiny flashlight and maneuver in tight spaces
13. Sweaty or wet or bloody hands won’t be able to swipe around or press buttons on phone 100% of the time. You can simply press a flashlight button to activate it
14. Phones can be tracked. Flashlights cannot
15. Phones are expensive. Batteries and flashlights are cheap
16. You might need your phone and a light at the same time. Certain apps or activities restrict flash usage, and certain activities require you to have exclusive retention of the phone so another person cannot navigate, or you may to create more problems by trying to shine your phone around while using it for other purposes. Do you want to put your phone on speaker while you’re walking around just to shine its flashlight at the same time?
17. Although alkaline is inferior, they’re still more common which means you can quickly get a working light. You will not find a phone battery at a grocery store.
18. Phones are planned obsolete items. It’ll get slower as time goes on, stop being updated and supported, or even deliberately sabotaged by the manufacturers (see apple). A good flashlight will last practically forever. Flashlights can have poor QC, but you will probably never need to wonder whether someone forgot to put a parenthesis in their code and brick your light a year from now.
19. Your phone can be hacked and locked. Sure, supply chain attacks can work on physical items (see stuxnet, recent hezbollah pager bombings), but it’s unlikely that you will be a target for a flashlight bomb. You WILL be a target for phishing, scams, ransomware, viruses, etc. Especially if you use Android.
20. Flashlights are faster to use. I’m on my phone right now, and I have to unlock my fucking phone just to adjust the flashlight brightness. Sometimes face ID will just be disabled and I have to press my passcode to unlock. Turning on your phone too fast makes it think you did it on accident. And certain phones lock your entire phone of all functions except SOS phone call if you enter the password wrong too many times. My flashlight can be adjusted to reasonable brightness within two clicks - again, intuitive and easy for anybody to use.

I find it very strange that you’re unable to imagine a single scenario where a flashlight is useful. If I’m in an emergency situation, I don’t want to risk my phone being damaged or dying because there’s no other way to effectively communicate. I rather have specialized tools because an all-in-one tool can break, and then it risks becoming a nothing-in-one. What’s the point of a screwdriver set when you can just buy a swiss army knife? I’ve had very few instances where I needed anything more than a small phillips head.

Why are there North Vietnamese guerrillas with straw hats on the label

How the fuck id “outsider left” closer to the right than establishment democrats lol

Whoever made this quiz should get their ass kicked

Really love wasting 5 minutes taking this shit only to be told that they disabled submissions.

When taking surveys and they ask if you’re somewhat/very liberal, moderate, or somewhat/very conservative; or “democrat, moderate, republican”, what do you choose?

Ones running on Anduril 2

yeah Idk why people are so bent up about the interest in flashlights and not the funny part about needing a specific kind for women lol
