Ok, well, I have great personal credit and am majority shareholder in a business with great credit. I have a lot of savings thanks to crypto, either way, I make good money because of my business.

Hot girls like new, cool cars. They also like other expensive shit that aren’t assets (including gadgets like the latest phone). I like hot girls, and playing their game has helped me. I now fortunately have a hot gf who works in her family’s finance business. We’re older and less frivolous than when we met, but I guarantee you it didn’t hurt my chances with her by having late model Range Rover and using other methods of “flaunting wealth.”

If you’re fucking up your credit to buy a phone, you’re just a nigger, in which case, who cares. I really don’t care about the latest phone and use an iPhone 7, but I’m also not a typical 28 year old whose life revolves around tinder, instagram, etc. To not understand why people buy something as obvious as a new phone is to just blatantly express your idiocy or trying to express some sort of gay, haughty characteristic of yourself as though “you’re above that,” and I can guarantee you will probably never have success in anything besides wagecucking in some tedious position (unless you’re inclined toward medicine, law, or some other high paying, necessary service field), because you don’t even know the most basic motives people have for wanting to give you their money.

I was finally forced to buy a new phone. My old one I have had for 5+ years was becoming unusable. The case I got with it disintegrated around it, then the screen protector disintegrated off it, the battery life was down to maybe 3 hours, if it hits 50% it could randomly go to 10%, the USB port was all fucked so you have to jiggle it to get it to charge, and the connections to the sim card and battery were failing so if you shake it hard enough one or the other would disconnect and cause the phone to shut down.

Android is a derivative of Linux. The only way you'd get a virus with that type of OS is if you deliberately chose to download, install and give permissions for one.

since anyone can upload an "app" to the google store, android users are far more susceptible to downloading viruses and/or adware/spyware etc. These apps may not be labelled "virus.exe" so even the most intelligent android user such as yourself may not be able to tell what's included in it.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

had a samsung galaxy 2 that I stole from a party like 8 years ago until a year ago, picked up a note 3 for $60 off kijiji last year after that. Found one of those old phones that the batteries lasts foreve and wont break if it drops EVER might throw my google authenticator on it, im always afraid my main phones going to fucking smash
