  • It’s interesting because this has to be pretty conflicting for that man.

    I mean, yes you do have memories at 6 as an adult…but really not many. I know he knew he was taken away from his family. But it says that they kidnapper interestingly raised him to being an adult. I wonder what that relationship between him and his kidnapper was like and if he felt that she had become his adopted mom or not.

    Shame his real mother never got to learn that he was alive and well. I’m sure everyone assumed he died…as is what happens to most children who go missing.

    Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where you’re afraid to say anything and all humor is lost. Humor is subjective tho so I think it’s fair to not like the joke.

    Yeah it’s just odd…compared to someone like you or me (presumably anyway…I suppose you could be a master breakdance but I’m working with odds here lol), she’s really good. But compared to advanced level break dancers, she’s clearly an amateur. A lot of it is just confusing…it’s like she didn’t realize she was supposed to be doing tricks in her performance. And the few she tried to execute had somewhat poor technique and didn’t land well.

    The commentators at one point say that Raygun likes to use improvisation. I’m wondering if she didn’t realize she was supposed to actually have a clean routine. It’s like she thought they were just there to vibe.

    Thanks so much for this! Glad to have finally seen it!

    You know…the thing is that without context it’s really not the worst thing in the world. She clearly has more breakdancing ability and knowledge than the average person on the steet.

    But it’s certainly odd…it’s like she didn’t get the memo that she was supposed to be doing tricks in her routine, and the few she attempted had poor technique and were not executed very well. It’s like someone pitted some random kid from the high school track team against Usain Bolt. It’s like…ok…compared to the general population who isn’t trained in track and field, the high schooler has some knowledge and ability. But compared to an Olympian? Why are they even up there?

    Except my comparison in this scenario is a bit ironic considering all the kids wiped the floor with her.

    All in all a confusing as hell scenario.

    My job involves organs and sometimes I take photos for various reasons, often to demonstrate something to a physician or to cover my ass (identifying patient info is removed from the photo…not a HIPAA violation). Sometimes my phone likes to show these as memories lol.




  • Yes. The Flip 5 has a different cover screen than the 3. It’s significantly larger. Just look up a a photo comparison of how significantly different they are. Yes, you can run literally any app or APK file from the cover screen on the Flip 5. The ones I use most are Discord, Spotify, YouTube, Google Messages, Voyager, my notes app, and Red Reader (Reddit).

    Sometimes they can be a bit buggy or don’t function very well (esp games), so I don’t like using certain apps on the cover screen.

    The only caveat is you need to install a free app by Samsung called Good Lock from the Galaxy Store first. Evidently it is not available in certain regions. In these regions, then yes, the cover screen functionality is locked down to only a few approved apps.



  • I have the Flip 5 and I am able to run full apps on the cover screen, not just Samsung approved ones

    The annoying thing is that this feature is just not enabled by default. You have to download an extra (free) app from Samsung that unlocks the full app support on the cover screen. It’s called Good Lock and it’s in Samsung’s Galaxy Store instead of the Play Store.

    Not sure why they do this…I guess because they don’t want the average user to think that the cover screen will feel buggy if they try to run a non optimized app on it.





  • Yeah I agree with the person you’re responding to. For some reason, a lot of companies are really getting into researching the larger folding phones…the ones that unfold from a regular phone into a tablet.

    And there is definitely a market for these phones, sure. But they are incredibly expensive and not everyone who is interested in a folding phone really wants a phone-tablet combo or the pricetag to match.

    I’m not sure why more companies aren’t trying to make the “collapsing phone” style of folding phones like Samsung’s Z Flip or the Motorola Razr. There is a big market there and you’re limiting yourself as a company if you only are researching the phone-tablet style folding devices like Google is doing.

    I’m sure that definitely contributed. But I think another big thing is that with the advent of the internet, artists don’t have to worry about censorship as much.

    Back in the day, you used to discover new music through the radio. At least in the US, radio does not allow for curse words to be broadcasted. Sure, artists will often have both explicit and clean radio edits, but some just don’t bother and make one clean version instead.

    Now that many people listen to and discover new music on platforms like Spotify, YouTube Music, Tidal, SoundCloud, etc., people don’t have to worry about censorship as much.

    I could be wrong, though. It’s just a hypothesis. Maybe it was solely rap/hip hop and not much else!
