Android phones will reportedly see more downgrades, fewer cheap devices as RAMageddon rages on
Budget phones have been impacted the most by the rapid increases in RAM pricing, but that’s expanding to more expensive devices. A new report shows that devices sold for under $400 are being hit hard enough to where they’re gradually being left behind.

in a presidency full of embarrassments and new lows, Preznit Fuckwit's infantile cage match on the White House lawn was a new low in embarrassments. thank you for your attention to today's post in which I cover all the stupidity. link is here: bit.ly/3S0PBYL
it was a crass display of toxic hypermachismo, just as our founders intended.

seriously, I’ll bet if old Ben Franklin could have seen this, he would have been all “I said ‘it’s a republic, if you can keep it.’ I didn’t say anything about a pedo president shitting his vulgar aesthetic all over the People’s House. what the fuck is wrong with you?”

look, if watching dipshits do somersaults on motorcycles floats your boat, go for it. we’re not here to police anyone’s idea of entertainment. but keep that shit off the grounds of the White House. it’s loutish and undignified.

when Idiocracy was released in 2006, the idea of a nation of morons ruled over by a oafish fool seemed like something that could only be mocked in a movie — yet here we are. that’s because stupid timelines don’t get stupid all by themselves. they need idiots like Preznit Fuckwit to make them stupid.

hey, remember in Idiocracy how President Camacho made his State of the Union entrance, firing an assault weapon?
