There were only a few thousand people at 1/6. There are 40mm people in CA, just as an example. 300mm Americans are not going to bow down to a man who wants to be king. People who think we'll end up in an armed conflict with some a

This is an amazing take. You're actually equating his position as a political puppet to being smart. And worse, you actually think he is!

What are they fighting a civil war for? Cheaper gas? More fast food? There is nothing now or in the near future that would fracture the country enough to fight. Once commerce stops, people will lose their collective minds. You cant tell Ame

Judges/Courts control the offices that control the military and the executive. Without the rule of law, you do not have a military, you have a militia. If you think a military staffed by patriots, 70% minorities and 1st generation Amer

If you listen to him speak, he is not a smart person. What baffles me is how and why you'd think he was anything but an idiot. Everything about him and his actions and words reek of stupidity. He does not hold any understanding of the

This is well written. It also seems to describe society at large, especially our current society. So many things work so well, they become invisible. After time, people dont even realize how much is working behind the scenes to make everyth

Conflating luck and timing to skill and intent is a hell of a way to lionize someone. One man's wealth is not a measure of skill, it's a measure of greed.

Apple could / should be the one to tackle this by allowing iPhone iOS users the ability to create their own social circles. They dipped their toes into this a little with Invites. Do we really need a central server to manage our friend

To measure attention while confusing it with intent, is at the root of everything wrong with today's society.

Agreed but it has better sync tech than most others that I have tried. Yamaha's is buggy, Denon's buggy, but Apple TVs sync well in my multi level, multi system set up.

by DudeOpotomus 2y ago
Buy an older Apple TV, or an Amazon Fire. Connect them to your receiver and you're good to go. Or buy a newer Yamaha or Denon receiver and they'll be ready to go out of the box.

I'd wager it's the Sonos that is the problem. I have 0 issues with my Yamaha receivers and AirPlay, or my various branded soundbars. Sonos never wanted to work with Apple, so I can understand why they'd never make it work.

It's not a top down broadcast and the SCOTUS has a hard time wrapping their head around 250 individual people receiving individualized content with no oversight or necessity for accuracy.

Because it's not the TWEAKING of the content tho tis the problem. It's the ability to manipulate individuals using fake or altered content. Not sure why this is a hard one to understand but with the ability to individualized media

TikTok is fun but it has degraded into a commercialized mess of copycats, IP theft and scams. Like everything else that is commercialized on the internet. It has a lifespan of a few years before it becomes unusable to all but the meek and t

Apple airplay works flawlessly. Or you can buy an old Amazon fire and connect them to your own hardware. Both of these solutions allow you to use any speaker/amp setup you choose. And if you truly care about sound quality, this is the

Their newly minted status as a Public company will remove any concerns or care for anything other than a (bullsh*t) measure of growth. Reddit like every other advertising fueled social media company, will ignore the reality of who uses thei

Shrinkflation is one very clear example of this in action. Is selling a candy bar that is half the size of the packaging yet the same cost as it was before they shrank the product fraud or is it just business? It fits the definition of frau

Yes, and it is so much worse. We have very few actual choices for major services and are forced into business with them because life without these services is next to impossible. Think about the tax code as an example. We literally have to

If you stop and think about it, almost every business is a scam of sorts that relies upon the weaknesses of human nature to thrive. In a lot of cases we're too lazy to do it ourselves. Or we need it NOW. Or we're too stupid to car

With you on this one. It's impossible for me to fathom the thought of cutting down a tree that took 2000 years to grow. Let alone is so majestic! We humans are incredibly shortsighted. Today, we only have 2-5% of old growth trees left.
