Wait what do you mean the stupid poopy head became president?

The answer is that about 25 to 30 percent of the population just want to see the world burn, and Trump satisfied that urge.

That doesn’t make known fraudster and rapist Trump a smart man.

It just makes him a successful demagogue.

Well, who wants to work for a known rapist and fraudster?

People who don’t give a fuck about the law, that’s who.

These cars don’t even go onto highways or areas where accidents are more likely.

Accidents are less likely on highways. Most accidents occur in urban settings. Most deadly accidents occur outside of cities, off-highway.

It’s insane how much these people make Trump part of their identity.

I remember when these people would taunt liberals by sarcastically referring to Obama as “the Messiah.” Turns out that was just projection, too.

Just as an example, look at insurance companies leaving Florida because of climate change associated risks, and how right-wingers are blaming this on “wokeism” instead of acknowledging climate change.

Clearly the driver is at fault here, but a case can be made (and apparently, was) that this would not have been possible had you not provided access to the car to the perp in question.

This is the equivalent of holding gun manufacturers culpable if someone buys a gun from them and then uses it to commit murder - right?

That’s true for the entire conservative culture wars.

It takes no effort to steer a conversation about a prominent right-wing social media figure who harps on prominent right-wing culture war issues towards conservatives.

Those things are literally the same topic.

Pocket Casts is available as Android and Windows app; Apple Podcasts isn’t.

Pocket Casts syncs between MacOS, iOS, Android, Windows and Abby device that asked you to open the wenn player; Apple Podcasts doesn’t.

It’s not garbage per se, it just doesn’t fit the same use case.

Many “tech journalists” are about as old as Facebook.

When they started using devices, the iPhone had been around for years, and the only discussion platforms they ever knew where centralized platforms with millions and millions of users run by mega corporations. In their personal life experience, Reddit has always just existed, they’ve never known a world without YouTube, Snapchat is what they used when they were little kids, TikTok had been around long enough that’s it’s considered an established media outlet.

They’ve never seen a Usenet group, they’ve never had accounts on phpbb forums. Choosing a smaller platform with a more selective userbase just doesn’t exist in their reality.

Elon posted

I mean, sure, but: why should we believe anything he says?

The reality on the ground seems to be that Elon just tweets whatever thought enters his mind, and in a best case scenario, people then run around and scramble to make his tweets come true.

Seems crazy to pay $42,000 per month for the API, have the API randomly break on you, have no tech support available, and just generally witness all the insanity going on at Musk’s Twitter, and yet still hold out hope that it’s all going to be fine.

Strong echoes of Microsoft’s “embrace, extend, and extinguish” strategy…

Yeah, I get that, and hypothetically you could just use a mobile device for text creation, using your preferred method of inputting text (e.g. a swipe keyboard, or a stylus with text recognition, etc.) on the mobile device and then send it all to the desktop.

I asked about that, and I didn’t get a definitive answer. The conversation was more like:

“You don’t get it, we grew up with touchscreen devices, physical keyboards are outdated.”

“So do you use voice to text or something?”

“No! You don’t get it. We grew up with mobile devices!”

“But… How do you enter text!?”

“Nobody cares about your typewriting skills!!”

They stared at me.

I stared back.

The generational gap felt like the Grand Canyon.

I’ve had conversations with young people who started work in an office environment that required a lot of text editing/text creation, and they didn’t know how to type on a keyboard.

On a physical keyboard on their work computer, they used a kind of two finger search-and-type system.

Their opinion was that typing on a physical keyboard was an outdated skill that just wasn’t required any more.

I asked them if they used voice-to-text or some other input method instead, and they said no.

Are that point, I just talked away, because I didn’t have any polite follow-up questions, and we simply didn’t seem to speak the same language.

The fact that you’d want a dive computer to be waterproof beyond 3 feet might have something to do with that, though.

Sealed devices have way better water resistance

My dive computer has a user replaceable battery, and it’s waterproof to more than 250ft.

This is just a non-argument to me.

Not all countries have the same school hours. In some places, the expectation is that kids get out of school by lunch time.

Also, school meals are not the first line of defense when it comes to food insecurity, like it’s unfortunately often the case in the United States.
