    I have a powerbank and when my phone is in my pocket, its always charging.

    I feel uncomfortable when the battery is below 100%, who knows, maybe you need to make a call for help at 1% battery, and that extra battery will save you!

      the irony is that the battery health is going to be worse that way.

    technically it’s optimal for battery health if you only keep charge somewhere between 40 and 80%

      exactly, it’s the recommendations for batteries for the last 10 years or more. people doing otherwise are following “old folklore” and killing their batteries faster.

    Everyone is misunderstanding what’s going on here. Mom is obviously so chill with aliens that not only does she not recognize this particular alien, but she’s concerned her son went somewhere she doesn’t know about with that unfamiliar alien. He needs to call her so he can tell her.

      I still don’t know if the OP was complaining that she stops the phone from charging beyond 80% or that she insists on charging even when it’s already 80% charged.

              I know, I wasn’t happy with that guess either.

              All l can find right now is a paper that suggests metaphorical understanding may be impaired in people with schizophrenia.

      Not everyone grew up consuming memes. Maybe if you call and explain it she’ll understand and have a great laugh. Totally worthy then.

        I consume plenty of memes and I still don’t follow the point. far from quality when you have to know a detailed moment from a cookie cutter movie that many people don’t care about.

        Metaphors are hardly a new device. Anyone who knows how to read above an elementary school level should readily understand metaphors and similes.

            Strangely combative and leading way to pose your question.

            No, not unworthy at all. But there’s also a wide divide between asking questions and actually seeking to understand. It’s been my experience that many people have developed a questioning mechanism to mask/cover their embarrassment or willful ignorance, and those people don’t care at all to learn the root lesson, they simply want to “win” whatever they perceive as an argument. Winning the conflict is more important than learning the new information. And socially, that process becomes exceedingly tedious.

            As the quote goes, “I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.”

              It was combative because the OC called the recipient unworthy and you replied that it was because they didn’t understand things that most people who can read at a third grade level do.

              That’s messed up, and I was intending to point out that that’s the implication of your comment so you could rephrase it if it was unintended.

              Some people don’t seek to understand, but this person’s asking multiple questions to figure out what this means, and then wants to talk verbally because they’re not getting it via text. I don’t see a reason to suspect they’re not looking to understand.

                Is that what I said, or are you creating your own scenario by cherry picking my response?

                I get the sense you just want to be angry about this post and responses in general.

                I’d prefer not to have this type of Reddit back and forth, especially given you’re already adding details and reframing my words to fit your narrative.

                Best of luck to you.
