Jerry Cotton posted:Yes they do. If you've never had to saw through a bolt or hasp or something with just a broken blade and some jesus tape to protect your hand I don't know what to tell you except it works just fine. It's not very pleasant or fast but it'll do the job. And the lifehack experience is only marginally less lovely. If for whatever reason I felt the need to carry a pocket saw, I’d spend $8–$20 on something with a stiffer blade. What I’m saying is that this is the Platonic ideal of a stupid life hack.

It seems like the real life hack would be to buy only the dollar store padlocks to prevent crimes of opportunity, or else invent your own novel security schemes because any commercial product you buy has a YouTube video showing how to break it in 2 minutes with a less than dadly collection of power tools.

I dunno maybe my life is different but I find my phone has more use than a pocket knife possibly would. I guess that's probably because I don't like in the woods and have to hunt my food like an animal.

Guy Mann posted:I bet you don't even own a television. I own 6 of them you have been ownt E: a lot of people (not just you) seem like they have a lot of sand getting all gritty in their body parts about having their continuous phone tether questioned. Phones are good and useful and I have had several of them myself since 2001 or so. I just don't see the appeal of carrying a device that demands your attention every 30 seconds because your facebook / snapchat / tumblr / twitter / instagram / grindr / aim / ICQ / cafe game just updated and there's no way you can possibly ignore it in order to experience the activity you're doing irl. People can say "maybe you could be more interesting" all they want, but it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with me. You could observe this behavior yourself if you weren't too busy streaming three and-a-half men or big bang every second of your life. titties has a new favorite as of 02:23 on Apr 13, 2016 |

If you can't see the hypocrisy in getting indignant at people not engaging you on your terms when you refuse to engage them on theirs then I don't know what to tell you. Hope you're comfy up on your pedestal looking down on all those knuckled-dragging troglodytes with their snapchats and their network television sitcoms.

Besides, most people who are on their phones or iPads 24/7 are engaging with people. It's not like everyone is an unfeeling automaton unable to connect to other humans any more. Most of the time I'm engaged in simultaneous (if relatively slow-going) conversations with 2 people on top of whatever I'm doing in real life. I'm able to keep up with my friends constantly and keep in touch whether or not they move or end up in the hospital, and we can speak with gaps of only a few seconds or minutes between messages instead of waiting days or weeks for letters to be exchanged. If anything, social media and our constant internet tethers have only made us more social. And it's not like in the past everyone gave you their full, undivided attention 100% of the time anyway. If someone didn't have something to say, they'd just stay silent or wander around finding something else to do (like reading a book or looking at poo poo around them) while waiting for the conversation to continue or decide that it's ended. It's just that now people are filling those gaps with more conversation with other people who aren't in the room. It's like the people who were upset that everyone read newspapers or books while riding trains instead of engaging in conversation with other passengers. Like no, people didn't abandon striking up conversation with strangers for reading. They just plain didn't talk. So yeah, you've joined yet another generation decrying this generation for not behaving in a way that didn't actually exist outside of rose-colored glasses for the good ol' days.
