  • This is a gaming phone with very mediocre(for a flagship phone) cameras. It’s also slightly thicker than most phones, with bigger battery and active cooling. It isnt waterproof and has no hdr either. And it only has software support for 2? years. But you cant find many other phones that offer this kind of performance for that low price.

    It is a phone that has significant strengths and weaknesses.









  • Literally one of the Eastern Roman(aka Byzantine) Emperors was called “the Bulgar Slayer” because he killed so many bulgarians.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_II

    Basil II Porphyrogenitus (Greek: Βασίλειος Πορφυρογέννητος Basileios Porphyrogennetos; 958 – 15 December 1025), nicknamed the Bulgar Slayer (Greek: ὁ Βουλγαροκτόνος, ho Boulgaroktónos), was the senior Byzantine emperor from 976 to 1025

    Basil exacted his vengeance cruelly—he was said to have captured 15,000 prisoners and fully blinded 99 of every 100 men, leaving one one-eyed man in each cohort to lead the rest back to their ruler. A possible reason for this vengeance was that, in Byzantine eyes, the Bulgarians were rebels against their authority, and blinding was the usual punishment meted out to rebels. Samuel was struck down by the sight of his blinded army and died two days later on 6 October 1014 after suffering a stroke.

    In what way Bulgaria has claims to this? Greece, Russia, Turkey, Italy, Romania, Albania and Serbia have a more legit claim than Bulgaria.

    The truth is that “western” countries will be “fine”. They have the money to build walls(for the rising sea and immigrants), cool and heat all the houses, buy/grow food, infinite energy. The cost of living will increase, the quality of life might decrease but nothing directly societal threatening.

    Climate change will mostly affect poorer countries, that are already struggling to survive. Those countries cant really afford to do anything. And people in those countries will have to decide between dying or migrating. So the only “issue” for the “West” is the mass migration that will be caused by climate change.


  • This isnt a good argument. For Fox News carbon emissions are irrelevant or good or whatever. But since Taylor Swift is saying she cares about the environment and according to her carbon emissions are bad for the environment, it is hypocritical to use a private jet.

    The problem Fox News have with Taylor Swift isnt her carbon emissions, it is her hypocrisy.



  • Latin and Greek are nowhere even similar to each other. You might as well say that Latin and German are the same language. Greek and Latin are 2 different linguistic branches of indoeuropean languages. Latin is the precursor of romance languages like Italian, French and Spanish. Ancient Greek is the precursor of Greek. Other major European language branches are the Germanic(German, English, Swedish, etc) and slavic(Russian, Polish, Bulgarian, etc).

    Cool single indoeuropean individual language branches also include Armenian, Celtic and Albanian.

    Finnish and Hungarian arent indoeuropean languages.


  • The weirdest thing about this whole antivaxx movement is that it has spread to Europe too. Greece has conscription, so 90%+ of greek males have served in the greek military. And almost all of them got vaccinated with a trillion vaccines, including ones against gozzila(you can never be too safe). And thats on top of whatever vaccines babies usually receive.

    Noone complained about it. There was some antivaxx movement before but with covid, everyone went crazy with the vaccines. Suddenly vaccines were evil, noone knew what they had in them, it’s a global conspiracy. Everyone became a vaccine expert.

    America needs to stop exporting their brain rot, we already have enough on our own.
