Not an international, but I bought an unlocked S21 outright, rather than go through my carrier (AT&T).

My 'visual' voicemail won't work, but that's the only issue... and it's apparently on AT&T's side that's causing the problem. I gave up trying to fix it, cause I can still call my voicemail. But it still pisses me off sometimes when I think about it

Currently my life. About 3 months now, no plans to upgrade anytime soon. Sucks though

I began learning on a cheap acoustic that made it incredibly hard to play, but I never knew any better.

Many years later, I was given a nicer acoustic and I realized how much easier it was to play. Suddenly the F chord wasn't such a monster to hold down.

I feel like the cheap acoustic absolutely stunted my learning, and possibly caused me to pick up bad habits. But I still have it cause it was my first guitar and kinda like the sound of it. But holy shit, it's still hard for me to play it

'Sounding' like a metal band?

I too had a My Buddy doll. He was cool, until he wasn't. And he was also banished to the attic closet in my room... and never received a pardon

Fuck, I forgot about Pet Semetary. That movie and IT, were the ones that I refused to watch again as a kid. And also, fuck tornadoes. "Twister" didn't really 'scare' me that much when I first saw it, but I wasn't really a fan either... cause fuck tornadoes

As a (probably too young) kid, I had already seen some Jason and Michael Myers... but IT was the one that made me afraid to go to sleep after watching it. It's the one that I still remember the fear and remember exactly where I was when I watched it

The toilet scene from "Look Who's Talking Too" was the one that scared the shit outta me as a kid. Not sure which one scarred you, but I'm more curious as to why "scary toilets" was ever a thing to begin with

I've always loved using Linux, but sometimes I just need things to work; so that whatever I'm doing is quick/painless. But as much as I've switched back and forth, I keep getting pulled more into Linux, the more I learn about my (personal) technical problems

Sure, I can fix it on windows... but the more I delve into Linux, the more I begin to understand the underlying principles of all of it. And for a lot of things; the more I learn about Linux, the more I'm able to navigate across multiple OS's. Learning a little Linux has taught me a metric shit-ton about how computers "speak", and that knowledge has crossed over to a lot of different applications.

I still don't use Linux full-time. But I'm definitely starting to prefer it the more I learn. I hate fighting against locked-out bullshit on windows, when I "just need things to work". But I still like being spoon-fed sometimes, when I don't have time/patience... but I now much prefer taking the time to make my computer work for me. I've learned a shit ton about computers because of Linux
