"voluntold" to work? guess how i know this is retail

the fact that kyocera is just a manufacturing conglomerate like GE always surprises me. it's like "oh, these guys make my lathe inserts", and then it's a Fucking Camera or phone or some shit with kyocera on it

the 1980s into very early 90s were the last time people could understand consumer electronics down to the silicon.

a lot of shit was analog still: enough that it was accessible. most components were still through-hole mounted, SMDs hadn't really come to the forefront yet, and with the exception of desktop computers most everything was magnetic media and wires.

now... not so much. i just think it's interesting that we have people returning to things like polaroids and fujifilm cameras, new production cassette players, and landline phones now. it's still pretty niche, yes, but it's increasing in popularity.

we can hope that we start going back in time a little bit. if R&D had continued on consumer grade magnetic media, what could have happened? how about just plain old physical media? even relatively advanced things like CD players are and were nigh bulletproof, except for the CDs themselves. how about electronics that are user serviceable for once? the EU has made a big step in the right direction by mandating replaceable batteries, because that's the wear component on most phones and devices now. maybe we'll get old-style chunky bigass boards back with parts that can be diagnosed and fixed.

this is me (if u care)

digging through my airsoft shit in preparation for next week
>uncovered The Zelensky Fit jacket, od green thingy with ripstop sleeves
>finally put my helmet back together with walker's niggercomms, removed NVGs, added metro patch
>refitted strap holster on plate carrier (very cheap and underrated option, but my favorite regardless)
>strapped eyepro to helmet just to keep it in line
everything else is going to get thrown into my cheapass pack and then into the trunk of my car. i'm not going to keep shuffling it back and forth inside, that was a royal pain in the ass and it kept me from going out of simple laziness. i should have my gas blowback cheapass pistol in the mail long before i'm ready to go back on the field, which i didn't actually *need*, but the super cheapass co2 option i got shoots a bit hard and doesn't feel good to shoot. hopefully this will be better.

also: can't wait to not even hold a positive k/d again lmao. i can shoot but i'm not that good at the game itself. funny how it's not just a pure measure of marksmanship

yeah, great post for a sunday

this is the most bizarre shit but it makes total sense

dont i have some news for you, fagboy: that's how they've always been in the past (more or less). women aren't the issue, their indoctrination is
