Topic:
Phone flexing?
|
|
|
I halfway read an article on facebook about phone flexing, showing off your phone in photos. At first I thought it was dumb, but I am not into phones and just scanning through the search section on here there are a lot of profiles that have their phone in the pictures.
So just to get a conversation going, do you really think that phone flexing is a thing or is it more likely that something is wrong with their phone (including user error)?...lol |

Outdoor lights & blackout??

Not that inexpensive, plus having just 1 leaves a lot of blindspots. Also, cameras run on electricity so they won't help in case there would be a blackout. Normally speaking they could be great. Over here you'd need to have a sign up that you got camera surveillance. A sticker in the window or something. Not allowed to use cameras without that. Typical Dutch, you have to warn bad guys that you're protecting yourself. But then there is also people who just put up the camera sign without the cameras to scare off a few...lol |

Your posts are still there, the other one you did about this is in the Help section. Just because you can not find things does not mean someone is deleting them...lol You can click on "My Topics" at the top of the page or the little number by your name in the forum here. Those are the easy ways to find your old posts.
I would try to explain the limitation of apps vs webpages, but you are having a hard enough time coming back to your old posts...lol |

Why does the Mingles2 app on my phone only show a fraction of the likes and messages that the website does? About 10%. It is like that with facebook and most other apps also. Apps and lite versions of the website because your phone can not handle all these websites at the full version. |

Green dot?

Does a green dot mean someone is online or was online?
I don't know and am currently trying to find out as well.... I don't see where to find out definitely what this means.,. They all have green dots by their name showing that they are online... |

In this swipe world, a better main photo will help. I think people ignore profiles with hard to see profile pics (I do at least).
If you are looking for a deeper relationship then I would say you might have better luck with more in the about section, give them something more to read and be interested in. Good Luck |

I remember when they used to have those little loops on the back of shirts. Never figured out what they were for. Folks used to call them fruit loops. They were to hang the shirt up on a hook so it did not get wrinkled. Some of the t-shirt tags would loop like that for the same reason, to have a hidden loop. |

It bothers me when I'm following a stranger and there's a label sticking out from the back of their collar. I don't need to know how their clothes should be washed or what size they are! I just find it hard to resist the compulsion to tuck the label back where it belongs i.e. out of sight. You bringing up the tag sticking out reminded me that people use to have a little rhyming name for that which I guess you can not say any more...so what is it suppose to be called now days?...lol I usually cut mine out of my shirts anyways... |

The Media on/off button is in the messenger part. When you are messaging someone you can switch it. I think it is to allow people to send you pictures but I am not sure...

Just assuming what google told you was true, do you really think there is a hard line on the year that you were born making you act the way that you do? I would think that there are going to be a lot of cross over in the years that are closer to the start and end of these generational labels. Then there is also going to be people of each generation that do not fit that definition for what ever reason.
The other problem with googling the generational differences is think about who is writing this, do you really thing that there are a lot of baby boomers writing for google? And if there is a baby boomer working at google, I do not think they would fit the typical baby boomer stereotype since they have to work with mostly younger people there. |

I don't think the unblock option exists now. Earlier it used to be there. |

With speaking, I can accept some of the common mistakes in English. Especially in an informal conversation (a speech or lecture is different, that should have been checked for grammar and all beforehand).
It is the writing that I am amazed by, I always considered myself as being on the lower scale with my English knowledge...but online here has shown me that there are a lot of people who are worse than I am...lol |

Tokyo seemed like everyone was too busy going places, like New York is here, so I would not say they were overly polite there. Away from the city, I usually had friends around that knew the area so I was not asking for directions to have that happen. But I am not sure I would have noticed it as being weird either because if I have time and it is not too far out of the way then I will do that also. I did that the last time I was at the grocery store, an elderly couple asked me where the noodles were. I told them that they were about 3 aisles down, then I was like "I need to get some also if you want to just follow me." Help others if you can type of thing I guess...lol
I did not notice their English, but I am not the best at English myself so I try not to judge too much...lol But I might have just thought that English was not their first language and let it go at that. There are a lot of people who also speak French in Canada so maybe it is a French thing? Or it may be like the southern US here where the education is so poor that you just get use to no one speaking correctly...lol |

I visited Japan a couple of times when I lived in Korea, but of course I did not get to see enough of it...lol i did visit one of the tourist trap villages that were set up like it was old times and it was pretty cool. The thing that impressed me the most though was that they would build a fire under the stone floor buildings to keep warm.
I started watching "99 to Beat", US and UK versions which is a fun show doing silly games to win it. |

No, not anime. I never watch that. Not my cup of tea. Real actors. I had the title wrong, it's "Last Samurai Standing". Which tells the tale of what it's about. I guess a great way to get rid of the entire Samurai class by having them kill each other, hihi. Nevertheless, trailer is promising. A series based on a novel. When I googled it, anime did not come up but a comic book did so that is close...lol I seen the trailer and it looks rather dark for me. But if you get into it then it looks like it is suppose to follow the history of Japan so you might learn a little there, a teaching action drama show...lol |

The first season of them looking for crystals were low buck hunters mostly, the people who were walking along and finding them. A few were going in abandoned mines to look. I think just one guy was seriously digging. But that is what lost me with season 2, most of the people were doing serious digging.
I remember the 2003 movie of Last Samurai, but I did not see a series like what you are talking about. Is it one of those amine cartoons? |

A lot of people travel and are with their families over the holidays here so I would think that they would not have the time to be on here. Now maybe they do come on here after their family give them a guilt trip to find someone...lol

There seems to be plenty of cop drama shows, but limited on the wilderness reality shows. I am watching Outback Crystal Hunters right now. The first season was interesting but season two has seemed to lost something, different people and all.
