My experience buying a new phone.

So on New Years Eve I decided to just chill with the woman and enjoy some food and Netflix for the night. We went to the grocery store to get some poo. As we made our way back we stopped to get gas. As I got out of the car my cell phone fell out of my hoody pocket and cracked the screen. poo was fuged. So we decided to go to the nearest Verizon store so I could get a new phone. Had an upgrade anyway. 

 

We get to the store and the guy is a total doucher and rushes me into buying a Droid Ultra. fuging big ass mistake. poo is thin as fug, wide as fug and doesn't have a notification light to let you know when you get a text or something. But I needed a phone and there was a 14 day return thing anyway. So we go back to my girls place and take in the new year with some bacon wrapped smokies, crab and cheese dip, turkey wraps and a full season of Supernatural.

So anyway today I finally got around to returning it but the scumbags tell me even with the exchange it's going to be $130 with a $50 mail in rebate. I say fug that I return the phone and they charge me a $30 restocking feel so I only get like $50 back. Now I'm pissed as fug using my old ass Droid X but I'm too stubborn to give in. So on my way out of the mall I pass a Best Buy Mobile and they're having a sale. HTC One free just the activation fee. Walked out of there a mere 20 minutes later paying around $31. fug Verizon stores, Best Buy FTW!

I've only had it for a few hours but this phone is fuging sweet and came in a sexy ass blue. Love it.

 

 

Oh and when I booted up my old phone I found some nudez from a few years ago.

I'm a cheap bastard (and don't have any clue how phone contracts work), so I went to Wal-Mart and got a Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy Centura. $45 for unlimited* talk, text, and data. Not a bad deal and works great. My only gripe is the lag on notifications from ESPN, my Carolina Hurricanes app, and Facebook. Does enough to keep me happy. One day in the future I might actually get a nice, badass phone from Verizon. Until then, I'll enjoy paying the $45 monthly.


*data tops out around 2.5 GBs. Not a huge deal, since I only came close to using that much once, and that was the first month when I was downloading a lot of apps and using my FB app more than I do now due to not having internet at the time.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
