I am 25 and I have one of those boomer cases on my phone. (a flipcase) I’ve bought it in August 2019 and it still doesn’t even have a scratch on the screen. Don’t care if I look like a boomer, that thing did cost me about 1000€ and I ain’t gonna replace it just for being careless.
Holy fuck. Warn me before you do something like that. I almost punctured a lung laughing at that.
I can only apologize from the deepest recesses of my cold and dead heart. Here, might I offer a link to a fantastic Star Trek podcast with John de Lancie? It is over an hour long! Boop
Because how fragile the new titanium body is. Like fragile enough to be able to break the glass back with no tools (you just have to press a little hard with your thumb).
One of friends back in the day would lecture me on having a phone case. “why don’t you just not drop it?” I was like, dude, accidents happen. “I’ve never dropped my phone he’d say.” I swear, like a month after that happened, his friend stepped on his phone and a month after that he dropped his phone when taking it out of his pocket outside a burger joint.
I didn’t have a go about it. He’s not one of those that takes those types of jabs well.
The scary thing, then, is lessons like “Look both ways before crossing the street”. You fail that sort of lesson the hard way, and you don’t get a chance to learn anything.
Yeah. I know people who say stuff like that. I know someone who wanted a convertible car (they were 18). Someone mentioned the greater danger of they flip, and this person said “well I’m not going to flip a car”. We all gave them a hard time about whether they thought everyone who flipped a car did it on purpose. The next year, this same person flipped their car several times (and walked away OK somehow).
Some people can’t comprehend that bad stuff would happen to them.
It is unlikely that an average person flips their car. You have to weigh the pros and cons of it. We take risks all the time, but if we think it’s more beneficial we take them. Just driving a car is pretty dangerous alone. Personally, I don’t think a convertible is worth the risk or the cost, but I won’t say no one should get one.
