Yes Iāve seen ~ yet much like the Fairphone I wouldnāt recommend either to any 
- Everyone ācouldā watch
- Most phone users are busy taking selfies
- Some people already know and donāt want to be reminded
- Some Fairphone owners may look at it and feel uncomfortable
: - A few users wish they werenāt consumesr where anyone and anything suffers at their expense.
- Not a single person will stop exploitation. :
No, should is what I wanted to say, not could and you dont need to agree to that. My opion is mine, yours is yours, no need to agree.
I did get your tone, I just canāt sit by and agree
Maybe itās myEnglish interpretation and use, [shouldā] which is a directive, a command an authoritative control.
Context matters! Typically
mustis a stronger form thanshould, however in some circumstances,shouldis used as an absolute command but is simply āsofterā or more polite
But I see that a lot of people see āshouldā as advice, but nevertheless a bit pushy.
Sadly I hate the word. Iāve been told a lot of what I should and should not do.
A problem with written text is that it is black and white there is no choice, i.e. text can seem authoritative. So when I use words that can have such a ādefinitiveā character I use quote marks to say āsomething like thisā
In speech telling someone they should do something although authoritative can be challenged and of course there can be better context and tone to moderate the meaning.
Ok, itās a must-see for you then .

Yes I had already seen it. It just re-enforced my disgust and my dreams/nightmares.
Ignorance is bliss, and if you have lost ignorance there are always ways to loose your mind for a while
I will keep the link so I can torture my friends when they become a little to easy going.
Itās not quite as bad as showing non vegans abattoir work

Itās basically official now. The shop.fairphone.com now has a āFairbuds XLā category and already offers the first accessory for it:
P.S.: Definitely still needs a length specification.
