I stopped dating a girl in my twenties because she was really into Inuyasha. I found the show incredibly boring. She had seen all 150+ episodes and all of the movies.
She canceled our second date three times. I "took the hint" and the next time I saw her she was salty about the fact I stopped calling her (this was in the 1900's, pre-texting.)
Broke up with someone who reminded me of my sister (who was a real bitch). Girlfriend was a real bitch too - in retrospect. Retired me doffs my hat at nineteen-year-old me. Good move, dude.
I have several silly things, here are two: 1) Do you know how to operate a thermostat? I've seen too many say "I'm cold" and twist the knob clockwise to 120°. Or to 50° when they're hot. I can't stand people who can't operate simple technology. 2) Met a lady who always carried a big purse with brass feet on the bottom. Several times she plopped it on the hood of my car and scrubbed it around while she searched for something. Stopped dating her after the 2nd time.
Simple respect for eachothers stuff, i had something similar and got in discussion that i cared more about the cars paint than about her? Ya no, we aint doing this, was the end of that
It is actually a good reason, but only because she is obsessed with her phone so much. That mine would run out does not bother me. It is probably currently sitting empty on my desk. Happens all the time when i don't go out for more then 24h.
Charging 12% takes like 5 minutes maybe? Discharging 3% takes longer. So i'm with the 88% charger in this case, just wait a few minutes, then the other phone can charge.
The worst part was that he was tag teaming with another guy who wanted to woo me and then hurt and humiliate me in public because I told him off in the Novice Network in FFXIV (yes, that's on me for playing the game and trying to be helpful). The guy who tried to hurt me ended up hurting a friend of mine VERY badly, and I asked him to apologize. His apology was a non-apology and blocked me. Oh well, good fucking riddance.
Maybe not silliest. But met this girl clubbing. We exchanged ph #'s. First convo we have we hit it off for an hour. Then she asks me my religion. I say I'm not religious. She says "darn, you'd be the perfect guy if you were (my religion), but since you're not we can't get married." Wow..look at the time. Gotta go, bye.
He lied to me about something really dumb. I don't even remember what it was but I remember thinking, "this is a problem that will get much bigger with time" and even if it hadn't, I would still have the thought in the back of my head. It was better for both of us in the end.
I had a GF that reacted unreasonably to most things I did even slightly wrong. I think it was emotional manipulation, I think she was really insecure and tried to make everyting in her favor. I did sometimes lie about unimportant stuff to not set her off.
And if you are wondering, yes she was kinda hot.
Why'd he lie about it? Not saying the same applies here.
Of course people tell white lies to others, but I have never not once lied to one of my partners. Healthy open communication is the best way to have a lasting relationship. If a person claims to love you but can still look you in the eye and lie to you, that’s not love.
To a partner... not in a LOOONG time. There can be a little wiggle room on what a "lie" is (eg changing little facts in a funny story so it tells better). But no... if I felt the need to lie to a partner, that means I don't feel safe, or I am doing something I shouldn't. Both are signs that something should change.
You can tell a lot about a person by looking at the small things they do. On their own they may not be a big deal, but when you start to see a lot of them it becomes a much bigger issue.
She said she doesn't hang out with her male friends without her husband/bf so she expects her husband/bf to not hang out with his female friends without her around.
I'm 5'1/2". I dated exactly one tall guy and I have no memory of his face cuz I don't think I ever actually saw the damned thing. So after that, I said no tall guys. Only 5'6" and under.
Damn, as someone who's 6'1" and gf is 4'10" I'll have to ask her hahaha. Though given how ofetn we sit at tables and look at each other I think she knows.
It's two part. 1. Phones are powered by both battery and the plug in charger, and once you hit 100% the phone only pull power from the charger. As soon as you unplug a charger the battery will be used. You can not overcharge a phone battery because of protective circuits. 2. It's unhealthy for the long term lifespan of a battery to constantly charge and drain fully. Operating at 20-80% is the sweet spot.
Every 1% above 80% is 4x the wear on the battery of each 1% below 80%. I'm an EV engineer. We design the charging system to only charge to 80 for this very reason, only if you tell it you want to charge to 100% for extra range for a long distance drive will the vehicle charge past 80%. It is literally the optimal charge percentage for LiPO chemistry batteries.
It is inherent in the chemistry of LiPO batterys and is never going to change unless battery chemistry changes. LiFePO4 don't suffer that kind of battery wear but they are 80% as energy dense as LiPO. Solid state batteries are the future.
Manufacturers now use batteries that can handle a bit of overcharge, and let them to charge to 4.3-4.4V. When the phone is new, you have extra capacity and are impressed. But charging to 100% everyday causes premature battery wear. In 2-3 yrs you'll notice the phone doesn't last as long.
If you have a brand new phone and want to keep it for awhile, only daily charge it to 80% (there should be a setting). Charge to 100% only for traveling/trips.
after 2-3 years youll notice your battery doesnt last as long no matter what you do as they push software updates with invisible bloat to convince you to buy a new phone
It's not a bug or something, it's the basic laws of physics. If you don't drain your battery or overcharge it, then the battery will have a longer lifespan.
My experience is that most people disable these features if they are optional. If it's mandatory, many won't buy it because the advertised max charge is lower than other brands. While there's something to what you're saying, I think there's still room for education.
the built-in protection is to prevent fires from overcharging.
In fact, the batteries are safer than ever and are designed to be overcharged. Manufacturers do it on purpose so the battery works great when its brand new, but wears away quickly so you buy a new phone.
All lithium NMC chemistry (the kind in phones and electronics) last MANY more cycles if limited to 80% max charge for most of their life.

I wonder if she mathed wrong and thought she was only 2% away instead of 12%. Doesn't make it ok, but still.

Charging your phone to 100% too much isn't good for the battery.

Charming ur phone to 100% isn't bad, over charging it while it's full can slowly damage the battery tho.

They did figure out a fix, it's turning on battery protection on your phone to stop it from overcharging.
