Battery life is like a week

2019-01-29 16:29:39 UTC  

no one uses them, so no money to be had in trying to develop software to hack 😉

2019-01-29 16:30:24 UTC  

Ok il try to remember nokia

2019-01-29 16:32:00 UTC  

Apples and iPhones are at a real trouble rn.

2019-01-29 16:32:38 UTC  

as we're entering the post iPhone era, as the smartphone market is in stagnation

2019-01-29 16:32:49 UTC  

they really need to find an alternate income resource.

2019-01-29 16:33:50 UTC  

But, why are apples in trouble?

2019-01-29 16:34:02 UTC  

Appleâ„¢

2019-01-29 16:34:02 UTC  

Fruit is still consumed in the post iPhone era, right?

2019-01-29 16:34:04 UTC  

muh bad.

2019-01-29 16:42:55 UTC  

Question: if a close friend is going to do something you are pretty sure will atleast partially ruin their life in the long run but they are committed to doing it, do you try to explain why they probably shouldnt or just respect their choice. Im awfully conflicted

2019-01-29 16:43:41 UTC  

You should explain that they probably shouldn't do it, but also respect their intelligence and their freedom to make their own mistakes

2019-01-29 16:44:42 UTC  

If you happen to be able to convince them to do otherwise, that's great. If you were wrong and it happens to go well, that's great too. If they go the complete wrong way and become insufferable, then the consequence might be that you have to do the selfish thing and drop them.

2019-01-29 16:44:50 UTC  

This is a pretty big mistake tho

2019-01-29 16:45:22 UTC  

Not impossible to come back from but

2019-01-29 16:45:55 UTC  

They might be stuck in a situation where they are miserable

2019-01-29 16:46:43 UTC  

Well, not every person is going to be successful in life if they decide to make the wrong choice. It sucks when it's a friend that it happens to, but that's just how the world is

2019-01-29 16:46:47 UTC  

For decades

2019-01-29 16:47:06 UTC  

If they're commited to doing it, nothing you say will change their mind

2019-01-29 16:47:07 UTC  

You can't shield the person you care for from personal responsibility

2019-01-29 16:47:13 UTC  

:/

2019-01-29 16:47:16 UTC  

True

2019-01-29 16:47:26 UTC  

You'll just have to wait and be available when they are vulnerable

2019-01-29 16:48:09 UTC  

But that doesn't mean you can't support them, and try to help them, to the extent that you're capable of.

2019-01-29 16:48:43 UTC  

Trying to proactively disapprove of the something they're doing simply reduces the possibility of them coming to you for help when tragedy strikes

2019-01-29 16:48:44 UTC  

Im doing my best

2019-01-29 16:48:50 UTC  

But

2019-01-29 16:50:25 UTC  

All you can do is your best Maddie

2019-01-29 16:50:28 UTC  

And that's all you need to do

2019-01-29 16:51:44 UTC  

Its just hard

2019-01-29 16:53:24 UTC  

Do you have anyone to support you?

2019-01-29 16:54:38 UTC  

Huh

2019-01-29 16:55:26 UTC  

Well, you know, you seem very concerned with supporting your friends

2019-01-29 16:55:32 UTC  

But do you have anyone close to vent to?

2019-01-29 16:55:42 UTC  

Who can point you to the right path?

2019-01-29 16:55:45 UTC  

not irl

2019-01-29 16:58:31 UTC  

You know we have a saying

2019-01-29 16:58:44 UTC  

I don't know exactly how to translate it from Dutch, but it's something along the line of

2019-01-29 16:58:46 UTC  

Is there any way to get something to Tim? Because this is nuts.

I'm seeing this more and more that LearnToCode is code language for death threats
