Good shit. I paid off about $60k in about a year back in the day and it felt good.

Sucks that you doctors tried to bill me $70k for a barely week stay at the hospital though.

I thought of both Goku and Vegeta and neither would use that shit because they can kill anyone in the multiverse already and not a single soul would step up to them to stop them.

Lol. Goku would definitely touch that shit and then follow Ryuk into the Shinigami realm and challenge the king and everybody there to a fight. Then merk them and give them a handshake.

If you're asking if I can give you links to people murdered from online disputes from this phone, then no I can't do that. People have gotten killed from things that have started as an internet conversation however. You could argue the rarity of this, but I do not believe it is a thing that does not happen.

If you weren't bullshitting, you'd have some sources.

Umbreon posted...
I still think it's just an excuse to try to dismiss these people of having social issues. An asshole is an asshole, there's no "But it's okay because they have this mental issue!" We sentence people with mental issues to death all the time if they committed a horrible crime, you're suggesting we can't correct someone for simply being a jerk?

Who the fuck said it's ok because they have a mental issue? I'm saying to have empathy and compassion in understanding why someone would end up this way and stooping their level is as childish as someone who could be mentally sick. You're not correcting anyone if you've studied and worked with mental health and psychology.

Umbreon posted...
There is no hypocrisy in this scenario, because I would be just as amused if the genders were reversed. I don't appreciate you suggesting otherwise.

The hypocrisy is not about genders. It's about doxxing. Swatting and telling someone's mom are both doxxing. Doesn't matter if you make up some stupid distinction, they're the same type of shit.

Umbreon posted...
I think the issue that you and I are having, I'd that we do not agree on something key things. For example I don't think swatting is "childish". I think it's a monstrous act worthy of execution. It is little different than putting a hit out on someone. Something childish, in my opinion, would be more along the lines of pettiness. Like insulting strangers on the internet over angsme review or whatever.

You're free to think it's way worse, which drives the point that it's not trolling in any way. It's straight up malicious retaliation. So I don't get why you'd bring that up to support an argument about trolling getting worse now. It's not trolling.

Umbreon posted...
I'm not being disingenuous. I simply do not agree with your excuses. You seem entirely focused on the woman and making assumptions about her, while brushing off the dude who started the mess.

Yeah, you are. If you're not, then as I said, you're not smart enough to understand my point and I'm wasting my time responding.

Well there's swatting for one. Not always started by an argument but the point standard, people are fucking crazy.

People get hurt/killed all the time for what started off as a dispute. Adding online to that doesn't suddenly make it impossible.

So, you have nothing to back up your claim then? Yes, online to IRL does make a huge difference. There's nothing backing it up at all. Face to face is a totally different thing. Swatting is using the police and definitely not what your OP was talking about.

Umbreon posted...
Some people are just full of hate. Look at the neo Nazis running around. Do all of them have medical issues as well?

Yes, if you look into those that have these types of prejudices and hate, it comes down to very obvious personality disorders and the like. Personality disorders are more environmental, which is why it's not heavily factored. Even the last guy who brought up this site reinforces the point that most of those people on this site do have social handicaps and the like. One too many have admitted it.

Umbreon posted...
Oh absolutely. But it's so much more fun to get the little shits in trouble. Why feel bad for something he started?

Because doxxing is doxxing and the principal is uniform. She didn't get him in trouble. If anything, he would just return anonymously this time spewing the same shit. My concern is the principal behind it. It's either ok to doxx everybody or nobody. Not just when some dude insulted a woman.

Umbreon posted...
You assume that's the reason, just sd you assume there's a mental issue justifying his behavior(Because you seem much more concerned about the woman's behavior instead). It wasn't a "grave injustice" but I have zero sympathy for people starting shit like that.

Bulling and trolling can be one and the same. Oh sure it may not have been constant in this case but the intent was the same. I don't see the woman's actions as childish, just retaliation. Harsh? Maybe, but it is what it is.

I've explained this several times and you continue to make up new scenarios. I'm concentrating on the woman because there's nothing more to say beyond me stating he was clearly in the wrong.

Umbreon posted...
I mean, I just think it's great that he got tattled on. You're the one who seems actually upset that she opted to do something about it. Dude would have just kept at it(or done something like this again to someone else), so there is no issue with him getting embarrassed.

I wouldn't have hidden his name personally, but I'm not as nice.

I didn't say you're upset. I said you're being too damn over dramatic over this. Like this guy was a criminal and justice was served.

I'm not upset, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of the situation.

Umbreon posted...
You're comparing a woman calling someone's mother to literally trying to get someone murdered? Wowie.

And unfortunately it is "trolling" in this age, that's how it's devolved. Probably because these people don't get disciplined enough.

Maybe try reading the very next sentence explaining what I'm saying. Taking things to the real world over insults is childish. Swatting someone over whatever is childish. Both are doxxing people and the same type of action. Yes, it's obvious swatting is way worse. I didn't think that had to be spelled out.

I don't think this conversation is going to go anywhere because you don't seem that equipped to argue the points I'm making and jumping to all these insane conclusions. You misinterpreting me about swatting and what she did both being doxxing was enough of an indicator you are being disingenuous.

You're asking for examples of people being killed over something they said online? You don't believe this is a thing that happens?

Yes, please provide these cases where someone was murdered for insulting someone online.

Umbreon posted...
All she says is "He has problems". That doesn't necessarily mean mental illness. Some people are perfectly sane and act like that.

As I said, 37 year old adult men don't act like this without having something wrong with them. From all the mentally ill people I've dealt with, there's definitely a mental issue behind that type of hate.

Umbreon posted...
Yes he does deserve it, because he was dumb enough to be easily traced. As for handling shit in high school, are you referring to the constant bullying , or the violent retaliation? Because both of those are rather common.

This isn't a case of "She heard something she didn't like". This was an outright unwarranted verbal attacks. Her retaliation was fair and kind.

Don't talk shit, then complain when you get in trouble. Easy way to avoid that is to not mess with other people.

I'm not talking about bullying and don't try to act like this was a case of constant bullying. He insulted her and that was it. Yes, by high school you should know to ignore one time shit like that and move on.

Umbreon posted...
Yes, he just insulter her. She just told his mother, why is that so bad? It's just words in the end, is it not?

And no, trolling has absolutely gotten worse. People weren't commiting sucuide over constant online bullying when I was a teenager. Sure we were all dicks, but rarely did it leak in real life?

Now you can get doxxed, and people think sending the swat team to your house is "lulzy".

And no, the situation would be exactly the same reversed. If a grown ass woman was saying shit like that to a man, yeah go tell her parents. If she's dumb enough to be easily tracked, it's what she deserves.

If you do something wrong and get caught you deserve to be punished. Next time maybe you won't suck at whatever it was you was trying to do.

Let's be real here. Like another person said, she did this for it to go viral and it was an easy target. You're being overly dramatic in what even happened here as if some grave injustice occurred.

Again, I wouldn't equate trolling with bullying. Going to family because of an insult is just as childish as hurling insults at a game reviewer.

And again, nothing you said about trolling contradicts what I said about people feeding trolls more now than ever before and taking them serious. Look at how serious and dramatic you are over someone being insulted as if you've never been insulted and shrugged it off.

Swatting is not trolling. That's kind of on the level of what she did. Taking things to IRL because of an argument or offensive thing said online. Doxxing is still doxxing whether your information is public or private.

Nope, people are fucking crazy. Last thing we want is this dude to insult the one woman that psychotic enough to track him down and stab him to death. Having someone talk to your mother is very merciful compated to what some people do(especially if they can track down your parents).

Please list the cases where this has ever happened.

Umbreon posted...
Did she really? I don't remember that being mentioned in the article the last time I read it. It's possible I didn't see it, but otherwise I'm not one to assume such things.

Yes, it's in the first post here.

Umbreon posted...
Eh, criminal mentality imo. If someone is stupid enough to verbally attack a stranger with their name and face on display, they deserve to be embarrassed. This woman owes him nothing. If he didn't want her talking to his mom, he shouldn't have called her a ****.

No, they don't deserve it. It's just name calling. We learn how to handle shit like this in high school.

Your logic opens up anybody and everybody to harass people's families just because they heard something they didn't like. This guy also committed no crimes.

Umbreon posted...
This doesn't work anymore sadly.

Not only because idiots can't resist responding to them(Look at any board on this site with a troll problem for all the evidence you could ever need), but "trolling" today isn't the same as trolling in 2002. It's far more severe and malicious. It's no longer lighthearted fun.

"Just ignore them" is the same as doing nothing, which is the same as saying it's okay to do.

They need to either see concequences for their actions, or everyone needs to collectively agree to ignore the troll. Guess which one is easier to accomplish.

Well I say this, but I also use the ignore feature so

Consequences for their actions? Bro. Calm down. He just insulted her.

The problem with trolls on this site and elsewhere in 2019 is SPECIFICALLY because people keep feeding them. It hasn't become any severe or malicious lmao. People have started taking them seriously, which is backwards progress.

Again, if the situation was reversed, the guy would be all sorts of creepy and stalkerish going to the family of someone they're arguing with, even if both people had their public information online.

Wouldn't it be better to say "Ma'am, your child with some sort of mental disorder is doing something socially unacceptable. You may want to have a talk with them." better than keep letting them do it?

Like if I see a kid running around in the street, I'm going to let their parents know about it. Not just ignore it. Who knows what could happen.

If this boy doesn't get chewed out by their mother now, they might talk shit to someone actually crazy later and get themselves murdered.

You're jumping to some insane conclusions with murder and shit. Nothing guarantees that his mom talking to him will do anything, especially if he's really mental ill. I've worked with mentally ill and autistic people and the parents are damn near helpless.

Getting family involved in an argument or dispute has always been a big no. Tons of people have tried it and have always been chewed out for it. If things were reversed, as I said, people would be outraged.

Umbreon posted...
Course it's ultimately a copout to go "Well maybe he can't help it!", unless we have reason to believe that.

A grown ass man acting like a child is, unfortunately, not so rare as to be considered a mental disorder. There are people even older than that who act like damn fools and there's nothing medically wrong with them.

Sometimes an asshole is just an asshole, and many of them are stupid enough to say shit on social media with their name and picture.

Anybody acting this way at 37 years old is not all there in the head. The mother admits that much herself.

When people call me names or insult me, I don't go tell their mom. I ignore it and move on. Especially from where I'm from where snitches definitely get you fucked up for stuff like that.

I'd understand if he was making serious death threats, but it was simply insults.

Eh, dude was totally in the wrong, but she was definitely on some childish shit going to his mom. If someone messaged someone from her family over online shit, people would be livid and calling them harassers and stalkers.

I'm more willing to bet the guy has mental issues and/or autism, and doing things like this would just fuck them up more. True, she wouldn't have known, which is why her actions were stupid in the first place whether it was a teen or adult.

Last year's OS though. Did that phone even get android P yet? i've been using android q for a month already on my pixel 3.

Yes, it got P with a whole new UI for the entire TW system and Q is not ready for everyday use on the Pixels. I'm running Q too and there's lots of issues, so using alpha software is not really a bragging thing.

And it's not last year's OS. It's just an update. P was a big one, but it's not that serious for regular people at all. It bugs me, sure. But it's not gonna bug most people.

People need to stop getting suckered into the "it's cheaper than the 2019 flagships!" propaganda.

It's an upper-mid-range 2018 phone released in 2019. The flagships of 2018 are now at least as cheap as the Pixel 3a, with better hardware.

It's not a good deal. Period.

Not everyone wants to deal with a ticking time bomb that is a used phone. You have no idea how poorly that thing was treated.

And LOL @ using old samsung phones with their horrible turnaround time for new versions of android.

Who said they're used? The S9 is on sale right now for $275. Brand new with the full warranty and the S9 will get up to Android Q.

Yes, there's complaints with updates and support with Samsung, but like others said, you have to be stupid to pay $400 for a mid range over an S9 for $275.

At the same time, Samsung provides too many QoL additions. I personally prefer Pixels or rather stock myself and have all 3 Pixels, but yeah, this phone is a scam.
