It’s almost like buying something as soon as it comes out brings the risk that it won’t be in full working order and will still have significant flaws. I’m not sure that that’s exactly news. But the fact that people who are so in love with the iPhone that they are willing to get rid of a perfectly good working iPhone and unnecessarily upgrade for vanity are willing to back out is moderately interesting/telling. I feel like the pre-order group in any market is always surprised when the thing they pre-ordered is not 100% as good as they were promised. But then they will continue to pre-order…

When you make your subordinates so scared to voice an opinion that is not an agreement with yours that they become yes men or fall out of a window, you essentially are running the thing by yourself the whole time.

If one wanted to view this material to form their own opinion, where would one go to do this? Obviously this would be only for the purpose of confirming that these allegations are accurate and also deciding whether or not this constitutes any sort of suspendable offense.

Republicans released the overt logic denying kraken and now they think they can somehow get it to go away with ads appealing to logic? Republicans that don’t want Trump already don’t want him. Republicans that want Trump will want him regardless of what he does or what they are shown. It weren’t so scary I would be getting a bit enjoyment out of watching the GOP realize what they’ve done to the legitimacy of their party.

This is best answer. The number of people that don’t know knife etiquette is really alarming. If you put your greasy fingers on my sunglasses I have to wipe them off. If you inadvertently stab me, that problem is slightly more likely to ruin my day.

I will extend this one step further and say that there are far too many people (Americans) who have firearms and don’t know firearms etiquette, which is essentially firearms safety. There are a few things that might fall into the “just etiquette” category, but almost all of it is safety based. I just had to tell somebody that looking downrange through their scope (even with their bolt open) when I’m downrange hanging a target is considered bad form. They legitimately had no idea but were completely polite about it and said that it made sense and they felt silly for not knowing. I don’t want to start a firearms debate, but I think one thing people can agree on is if you’re going to have firearms you need to handle them with respect/caution. I think in general the shooting/firearms community could do a better job not shaming people for asking “stupid questions”. I walked out of a range not long ago because I got a condescending answer to a basic safety question. After reading their rules I had a question about the unusual wording. I’m not going to walk onto the line not understanding the house rules. If that is cause to be a dick I assume other things aren’t in order.

Trump’s social media posts are sounding more and more like Chris Chan

I like the idea. As a straight guy who drinks vodka and soda/tonic I get told my drink is gay from time to time. Now nobody will feel the need to inform me since it’s printed right on the can.

One thing a modern world needs to come to grips with is that a person can both be extremely talented and have negative qualities. Humans by their very nature have both good and bad traits, thoughts, and opinions. We can’t bury the fact that someone who contributed work that we enjoy had some awful views. But on the other hand, that doesn’t mean when you need to completely wipe his work from the face of the Earth. We have to find a way to show that someone is capable of creating great work and still not be a perfect or necessarily even good person.

As they should…

You can put another check in your daily tally of being annoying and out of tune with the tone of a conversation in the name of your cause. Veganism is officially something I agree with but will avoid because I’m lazy and also because of how every thread on social media has to contain a tone-deaf post with veganism as the answer to the question. Becoming a stereotype is one way to get you all caps message out. Please combine it with annoying people into changing. Veganism is essentially synonymous with loudly interjecting yourself into every remotely related subject. At this point I am not sure if there are real vegans online or just trolls trying to make them look annoying. Yall are right, but your delivery needs work.

There isn’t really that much but customizing your experience is not the same as reddit so you see it all until you block instances.

I for one welcome my new meme, porn, and communism content overlords.

I can quickly, with minimal info, triage the work/inconvenience ratio of any given leisure activity and determine whether it is vaible as entertainment.

I had a guy tell me he has hemorrhoids while we were pumping gas at adjacent pumps. Nothing before, nothing after. He just said “hey man, I have the worst hemorrhoids”. I wasn’t in uniform or on duty (medic) and he didn’t ask for advice or ask say anything else. It was like an observation about the weather. Middle-age guy, nornal car, nonspecific clothes, and no other oddities. I thought maybe he was on a Bluetooth phone, but no, he was telling me. I just said “that sucks”, he nodded and we continued fueling our cars in silence.

Nothing. As long as people are scared of dying and other people are willing to profit from it, religion has a home

Several small flashlights that I can fit in my pocket. Having a flashlight better than your phone is incredibly convenient.

Same thing as the current race to the profit at the bottom of the septic tank that meta, twitter, and reddit are in now.

Only when a search engine points me to a very obviously correct and well worded answer to a tech problem. I don’t log in.

They didn’t force them to technically. They voided the original and left them with a choice of finding alternative means of transportation or buying an inflated ticket. If you violate the TOS of your transit ticket they can terminate the ticket agreement. It’s totally a scumbag move, but probably not a slam dunk lawsuit.

It would be like if you used a hack to get a cheaper uber and they refused to take you the rest of your ride until you paid without the hack. The hack may be totally legal, but within a private contract it constitutes a violation of your user agreement. Now you can walk, take the bus, hitchhike, rent a U-Haul, or whatever you want to continue the trip. But uber can say you aren’t going anywhere in an uber until you comply with their TOS. Again, scumbag Mr. Burns capitalism, but legal and unlikely to be worth civil litigation.

Ever since the “you can’t disable the fully charged notification” update that hit the same week as 5 unremovable apps with full phone permissions, I am done with Samsung. Such a scumbag way to remind you it’s not your phone.
