  • Nice, then that we agree on. But it gets a bit more difficult.

    Would you set the smoking age to 25 as well? Probably, since it’s so unhealthy. But then do we set fast food at age 25 as well? More people die of heart issues than anything else, and that’s mainly driven by the awful diet most people live on.

    Should people under 25 be able to go into any sort of debt? If not, then that means fixing the education and healthcare systems (which seems like a good thing). But what if someone goes into debt to buy an apartment or house? Or even just a car? Having debt can be really bad for mental health, and depending on where you have it physical health as well.

    If we keep thinking along those lines, do we allow people under 25 to watch TV and play video games? Both activities cause people to become very sedentary, which is bad for health as well.

    Do we allow people under 25 to have desk jobs? But then along the same lines, do we allow people under 25 to have physical jobs? Both can negatively impact your body in different ways, and a undeveloped brain might not consider all the risks involved.

    I’m not hating on you, I just think it’s interesting to consider just how far you would take that logic.











  • I used to have a Samsung S8 and HATED the curved corners. Mostly because they always catch the light to create obvious reflections, and because of the viewing angle change the screen discolors the further it curves.

    After that I had a Note 9 and really enjoyed the boxy shape. The only disadvantage was that, because of how I hold my phone, the sharp corners dug into my hands a bit. A case helped with that but didn’t fully solve it. Also the screen was still slightly curved.

    After that, I decided to switch to iOS when Apple introduced the current iPhone design, and I couldn’t be happier. Perfectly flat screen, nice looking body shape and rounded corners to my palm doesn’t hurt after one handed usage. It’s exactly what I want.
