The solution is to stop testing and quarantining. People don't want to hear it, but that's it. Omicron is a cold. Stop quarantining students and teachers who are around someone who's sick. If you have symptoms stay home, if y

You can say the opposite about the other side as well... Anything short of eradication (which is impossible) means nonstop lockdowns, masking, vaccine mandates and making the unvaccinated pariahs. What I don't understand is why you wou

Where is the scientific proof that this isolated weather event is climate change? Just like you cannot claim that one day of bad weather refutes global warming you also cannot claim that an isolated event is climate change. It takes time to

For 899 Euro? Unless you have money to blow that's financially stupid. Buy a pixel and pay someone with tech experience to configure it for you. I can't imagine anyone without tech skills wanting a phone like this anyway.

How is this any better than just buying a brand name android phone and putting calyxOS or some custom ROM like lineage on it?

Yes I mostly meant the latter but like you said, occasionally there are 4k streaming versions when there is only 1080p on blu-ray. Most of the time I don't feel the 4k versions are that much better looking though.

They still mail dvd's. I have a coworker who still uses their mail plan. I kinda considered it silly at first by now I'm thinking this is the way to go. It's relatively cheap compared to renting movies via amazon etc. He gets

Just set up a nice sound system and run records or CD's. If you're that into audio, then streaming is still a joke.

The option is to get a new job lined up, or just deal with it. There's no incentive for this boss to change. You might get someone like this to change with an ultimatum that you're leaving for a new job but do you really want to s

Exactly, thanks for agreeing with my point that a handful of experiences from a few people doesn't mean an entire area, race, religion, group etc. is abhorrent. Because, if you did think that way there would be a very specific term for

Ok how about this since we're going to just throw out unproven accusations and anecdotal evidence... I was born in the rural midwest and lived there for almost 30 years of my life. Not once have I ever heard of anyone receiving the tre

Yes but people don't care about Asians because they're white adjacent now. You're right though I had way more interactions with black people when I lived in the midwest.
