I very often have my Sony earbuds connected to my iPhone, but I don't really like talking through them, so when I get a call, I usually just pop them out and then select that the audio should come from the phone speaker, which works. B

Random thoughts that I might not fully agree with myself but that I think it’s interesting to think about: What if the solution to misinformation is _more_ information? If 99 % of all information that you come across is wrong (and you know

Who said anything about that you should feel sorry for Jeff Bezos? The parent commentator simply described the circumstances regarding what Jeff Bezos can get. Who are you arguing against?

That's often not the point of analogies like this. So for the analog to be valid, the seriousness of the situation described doesn't have to be on similar levels. If you look up the definition of "analogy" on merriam-web

Yeah, I experience the same thing on YouTube. It's entertaining, so I'm not really complaining, but it's of course wasted money for an advertiser to try to sell me a subscription to a local streaming service or buy shampoo th

I fully agree. Everyday on my commute I see tons of people who are on their phones, and I’ve stoped counting the amount of unsafe overtakes and tailgating that I experience. I would take all the cars being driven by FSD any day of the week!

But I thought that penultimate meant next to the last, not the last (i.e., final).

Slay the Spire, Inscryption (which now has an endless mode), and Ring of Pain are a few relatively new games that comes to mind. Also, not a rougelike but the newly released Marvel Snap is a really well thought out card battler where every

Funny joke, and I hate to be that guy, but isn’t “final penultimate” a logical contradiction? :)

But the person can just sit there and not continue to drive after an intervention. I don’t see why this video wouldn’t be possible or interesting.

Totally agree. I got dizzy within the first couple of seconds scrolling down the page. Why do people think it's a good idea to circumvent the scrolling behavior that the developers of the browser probably have spent hundred of hours pe

My thoughts exactly. And the Tesla FSD is already at a level where it allows you to relax and drive more safely (even though you have to be ready to take over).

Maybe there isn’t a train available. Maybe it takes much longer time taking the train. Maybe you don’t like sitting close to other people for several hours each week. I can think of many reasons why train wouldn’t be an option.

Regarding A): Exactly! I don’t really mind traveling together with people from my own class (I might even prefer it), but I don’t really want to travel with lower class people. That just makes me feel like I’m one of them. I think this atti

Shouldn’t these numbers _always_ get reported in relation to how many people are driving (and for how long)? This increase in deaths would actually be step forward in death rates if for example people drove twice as much this year compared

I totally agree. If we (for the sake of argument) were to assume that TikTok allowed this, obviously there's nobody offering these people any better alternatives. So why should TikTok be demonized? The people who critizise TikTok are f

Aren’t you allowed to have open discussions about things anymore? Elon throws out stuff all the time, sometimes just to get the discussion started. Also, try to steelman the guy. Where do you think this is coming from? That he agrees with

You’re not giving Musk enough credit. Do you think taking these things into account wasn’t part of his proposal? What do you think he would answer if he got a direct question about this part?

It is? Giving up all captured areas except for Crimea (given that a UN lead referendum would result in the other regions staying in Ukraine)? That sounds like a pretty big failure to me.

While I don’t agree with the sentiment that it’s irresponsible to publish these maps, I don’t think you should underestimate how lazy the average person is, including terrorists. It often baffles me how utterly ineffective most terrorists a
