Chit-Chat: On Tuesdays Oryx and Triforce think it's Wednesday

[Pepperton]

I've gotten lots of recommendations for Samsung, but I'm pretty content with my iPhone at the moment. Don't even use it very often anyway d:

 

[Nathan]

iPhones are both overpriced and overrated imo.

 

[Yato]

I will probably not get an iPhone or any smartphone for a good while. Can't afford to get one, plus I'm content with my flip phone for elderly people. (No texting privileges + I only call a select few people, and it lets me use custom ringtones and wallpapers. That's good enough for me.) Also got my iPad and iPod, which have everything I'd want to have on and iPhone/smartphone sans calling people.

"I can't afford a smartphone."

"I have an iPad."

 

[Yato]

Parents got me the iPad as a graduation gift a couple years ago :3

 

[Nathan]

Is it just me or colleges ruin more people than they form?

 

[Honest]

I mean, the debt definitely murders. -_-

I've never met anyone who was ruined by college...so I think it might be just you. I've met people that ruin themselves though.

Exactly. People make bad choices, ruining themselves, not the college itself. I've never met anyone that's said that college ruined them.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

Eh, college creates debt, which therefore opens an environment for someone to be a lot more apt to ruin themselves than they would be able to otherwise. Maybe that's what he was getting at, eh?

 

[Hiatus]

It's still the same regardless, though; it all depends on how you manage yourself.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

I love how every time I refresh the page the load hiccups right where Dipu says that iPhones are overpriced as hell. Thank you for stating what needs to be said. :A

 

[Shining Raichu]

They're not that overpriced, just go on a plan like the rest of the world.

I actually didn't think of it at all as financial ruin. Could be thought. I assumed moral/mental ruin, as the opposition to "form".

 

[Penelope]

For what you get, iPhones don't seem all that pricy. I'd love to get one after my old phone craps the bed. I still have a Samsung smartphone with a slide out keyboard. I love it to death, but they stopped making accessories for it years back

 

[BeachBoy]

Eh, I avoid the devil (AT&T) and his brother (Verizon... or is it Time Warner?)

I switched to Ting and picked up a Nexus 5 when I got back in the States. More price upfront, but saving $1400 over two years. But I try to stay out of the android vs. iphone war; if you're enjoying your 150 screen hits a day, keep going.

As for college and ruin, I agree that debt can really make people fragile, but I wonder when we'll see the University bubble pop in our lifetime.

 

[Nathan]

Where I live there isn't any kind of college. It's just 13 grades of school then straight to University which isn't that expensive.

 

[Honest]

Someone should hug me right now.

 

[Anno]

*hugs* what's the matter Dakota?

 

[Ponyta]

I went to community before I went to an actual Uni...Big mistake, honestly. A lot of my credits didn't transfer over
