My local cinema screened 'Singin' In The Rain' recently, it was a lot of fun watching it for the first time in a packed cinema surrounded by huge fans of the film who knew all the songs and famous lines.

Several videos captured by cinemagoers show audiences chanting the line along with Black, before whooping and clapping loudly. On social media, many people attested that they had witnessed, or participated in, similar outbursts.

“My theater clapped every time Jack Black name dropped a Minecraft item that was in the trailers, and when he said Chicken Jockey I s* you not the entire row in front of me gave a standing ovation,”** one person shared.

“Just got back from watching the movie myself, can confirm everyone in the theater collectively yelled ‘CHICKEN JOCKEY’ during that moment and it was glorious ngl,” wrote another.

“This is what made me love my experience more, bc even though the movie wasn’t as bad as i thought it was going to be, the packed cinema with everyone shouting, clapping and cheering whenever jack black name dropped something genuinely gave me so much joy,” commented someone else.

This sounds like a Red Letter Media skit lol

Not necessarily, we earn more than Americans and are generally much wealthier.

If you're capable of building LineageOS or something for it then don't let me stop you! I just assumed that you, like most users including myself, would be relying on someone else doing that bit for you and I just don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

I'm not sure if "things have gotten so bad". The native English speakers who actually use this stuff are probably the ones who struggled with writing in school and have always been terrible at it. That's obviously not everyone though, a lot of people are still competent enough to type their own emails.

MELVIN USED MORAL SUPERIORITY

BUT IT FAILED

IT HURT ITSELF IN ITS CONFUSION

They're not that great in practice. I have an LG Folder, it's not very enjoyable to use and is probably best as a treatment for smartphone addiction. Old people are better off using actual dumbphones or smartphones with simplified settings, people who want flip/small phones are better off with flip smartphones.

I’d considered the Razr but was uncertain on the durability of it. Reviews were about 50/50 last I read.

I have owned a razr 40 for well over a year with no issues. I take pretty good care of my phones and have never dropped it, though. The smaller flip folding phones seem to be a lot more durable than their larger siblings, I guess because the hinge and fold is a lot smaller.

I do need to make sure I can find one that’s bootloader unlockable. Kind of a hard requirement for me and necessary to de-google it to my satisfaction.

I wouldn't bother with flip smartphones if running degoogled Android is something you're unwilling to compromise on. They don't have the user base to attract custom ROM developers and are unlikely to receive that kind of attention unless Google releases a Pixel Flip or something. You need to decide whether the software or hardware is more important - I chose the hardware which meant giving up on degoogled Android for now.

What is a widely-known fact? From the "uH yEaH" you sound like you're trying to argue with me but I'm not really sure what your point is. I never said piracy can't be a service issue, what I said is that people who trot this line out literally every single time to defend their pirating should follow through when piracy becomes more convoluted and time consuming than the legal alternative. Many don't, the line has become a convenient catch-all cop out that people hide behind so they can pretend acquiring everything for free makes them some kind of morally superior consumer activist. I wasn't having a go at OP specifically, but the logical conclusion when you get to their point should be to give up and pay or rent through a library or something.

If I really couldn't find something and I was really that desperate, I'd just try to buy it somewhere. Assuming it's also difficult to buy, I'd be looking at online marketplaces and op shops. If pirates are going to keep hiding behind the "piracy is a service problem" line then at some point they do need to admit that paying for the product is actually the more sensible and straightforward option if they have reached a deadend elsewhere.
