Haha this happened to me almost verbatim except it was an LG phone.
Big "we already got their money, fuck 'em" energy. Made me decide to aggressively avoid all LG products going forward.
Best part was there was a bug in the version of their Android I was stuck with that would cause the phone to randomly shut off if charging overnight. I think I eventually installed a custom ROM which fixed it.
I love reading the comments on Mac Rumour articles when it's negative news for Apple's platforms or services. To paraphrase: "Vulcan bad!" "Lazy Devs!" "But they support Linux?" and "What a dumb business decision!"
Yes, Apple zealots, Valve is absolutely going to support your vendor-specific graphics API on a platform that they aren't making much money from, and will continue to support and test that platform for years, operating as a charity because they love Apple so much 😂
I agree entirely with that sentiment. With this absurd abandonment of the 4a, the constant reports of owners not being able to dial 911, and my 4a randomly deciding one day to go into "emergency mode" and begin calling 911 on its own (while the phone was in my hand, I was just checking email, finger was nowhere near the power button to activate "emergency mode"), and the fact that the feature gap between Android and iOS is becoming narrower and narrower, I am seriously considering going back to iPhone 🙄
Can we just reallocate a chunk of the police budget to ambulances and paramedics?
Yep, Pixel 4 and Pixel 4a will not be getting anymore updates.
I wish there was a series with Colm as Captain O'Brien! But he was in Star Trek from the TNG pilot up to the DS9 finale, I imagine he was sick of it once that finished up.
🎶 On this day I see clearly, this meme has come to life 🎶
In this GIF Christian (guy up top) is simply trying to apply a holistic technique for clearing Darby (guy on the stretcher) of bad energy. It's a technique that has been applied successfully for thousands of years.
Man, this is a fresh meme. The events in the video only took place this past Sunday night.
Hah. From your perspective sure, I'll give you that. I don't think subjective or objective "quality" is the sole criteria when comparing cinema, especially in this context where the article is talking about comic book movies versus the rest of cinema, but I am running on 4 hours of sleep so I wasn't as clear I could have been, sorry. In this context, from my perspective, they are inherently comparable since they are in the same genre. I think we may also have slightly different applications of "comparable" here — maybe a regional language thing?
For the record I think the couple of Marvel movies I've seen have been vapid wastes of time that could have possibly been ~~written~~ engineered by LLMs for maximum returns on investment. So I think we're of a similar opinion and probably on the same side here. I still think mentioning Nolan in this context is hilariously hypocritical given he made some of the biggest comic book movies ever. I get the intent behind evoking Nolan's quality filmmaking, still funny to me regardless.
That said... Your messages come across as quite antagonistic. Why is that? I mean this quite sincerely: are you doing okay? It takes so much energy to be sour all of the time — I know from experience. Feel free to message me on here if you want to shoot the shit.

They are literally comparable as they are both in the same genre this article is about. You realise Batman is a comic book character, and that the article is about comic book movies, yeah? I said nothing about the quality between the two.
It's kind of amusing that he mentioned Christopher Nolan as a possible ally in his grassroots campaign of filmmakers extolling the virtues of cinema. Christopher Nolan who made a massive comic book movie trilogy. That Christopher Nolan?
Yep, they're basically an entirely different band at this point.
(I know "the band" is technically just Trent, but what the entity Nine Inch Nails was putting out at this point sounded like a completely different entity aside from Trent's voice)
