Brain is just a nerve bag that makes decisions.

While this statement is true, what is also true is that the brain is the only organ we’re unable to fully understand, replace (as in through organ donation), and it’s what makes us sentient. This is why Row v. Wade had a specific fetal age up until which abortion is permitted. That age coincided with the age at which the brain is developed and the fetus becomes a child which could be delivered. Most of the red-state laws are restricting abortion after the heartbeat can be detected.

All I am saying is that it makes perfect sense, from the biological point of view, why the heart is one of the first major organs to develop: it’s main job is to deliver nutrient-rich blood to all other organs so that they can develop as well. But despite that, its not the heart that makes us human, it’s the brain.

peterg75 , 1 year ago to android in Discussion: What Android devices are you using?

Using: Motorola Edge + 2022

Likes: Most of all price point. But more importantly what you get with it: wireless charging, 5G support, OLED, awesome battery life, Finger print sensor in the frame, decent camera, un-bloated OS, very useful gestures support. Honestly it’s the best device I’ve used out of the box so far. Had Pixels and Samsung’s in the past.

Dislikes: not many. Camera can be better especially in low light. Sometimes need to restart Bluetooth because it fails to connect to my watch.

Let’s just agree that these states are also the places where the hypocrisy is the strongest.

Just look at the facts: These are the places where you have to preserve the life of a fetus just because you can hear a heartbeat (heart is just a muscle sack that acts as a pump, nothing else), but you can freely shoot your neighbor, a fully gestated human, who has stumbled onto your yard.

You have to remind parents not to have drunken sex with their children, but you cannot let LGBTQ people have a book store or a unisex bathroom.

<It’s annoying though as I am literally the only android user in my direct and extended family so they iChat away and I’m left out or it’s assumed my wife will update me if required.>

peterg75 , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?

Because:

• I like the Android ecosystem
• I like having a wide choice of devices
• I do not like the “my way or the highway” approach to software/UX design
• I like to be able to choose latest mobile tech without having to wait for it to be deemed “worthy” by one giant corp.

Etc, etc, etc.

In US it’s stupid trench warfare of blue vs green message. As an Android user I have had to explain MULTIPLE TIMES that this is not about Android’s lack of capabilities but rather the unwillingness of Apple to use RSC. Almost always my explanation falls on deaf ears.
