Indeed, I also think it's partly an artifact of the sheer size of the baby boomer generation, which gives them outsized political power even as their cultural influence wanes.

This is really harsh but it’s good advice. I’ve never checked important medicine but I never really thought about the danger of losing access to it in a random city. Fortunately I think local pharmacies would be pretty understanding in this

Just as dishonesty can be used to tear down every statue of heroes from our past, even those who did nothing wrong, dishonesty can be used to glorify every villain who should be vilified. For example, statues of Confederacy “heroes” went up

>“The entire thing runs on invented grievances, word games, abusive power plays and historical original sin.” You’re talking about modern conservative ideology here, right? Fits Trump and DeSantis to a perfect T. I agree, it’s based on t

Why is “good activists” in quotes when the entire NYT article is about these good activists (and indeed, the very act of getting such an article published in the NYT is as close to “throwing them out” as we have in our society)..

It’s unfair to lump in all activists with dishonorable, lying ones. There will always be parasites who glob onto any movement purely for the status, but that shouldn’t alone discredit the movement.

They get away by cutting corners. The Tesla screen is not built to common automotive screen standards and often fails in inclement conditions or prematurely as a result.

The Macan is a sports car first, luxury car second. A better comparison would be against against a Mercedes GLC and that absolutely stomps a Tesla Y. Anyone driving with passengers in the car probably doesn’t care about “unearthly accelerat

It appears judges hands are tied by Washington law. Only individuals accused of capital offenses can be denied bail. I agree, this is lunacy. Yes, what California has done is you cannot set bail at an amount someone cannot post, but judges

It’s actually 99.8%. Yes, prosecutorial discretion can account for much of that, but you don’t get to 99.8% without something in the system being broken. Not all cases are cut and dry, some cases should go to trial and fail. 99.8% stretches

My current PC has ECC memory and I will never go back to non-ECC memory. The stability increase is noticeable, especially when using RAM as a cache drive.

I think bail is immoral, mostly. It should be replaced by a system where being let free is the default, but if you are deemed a threat to public safety, then no amount of money should secure your freedom (and you should have a right to cont

How is skipping bail not an automatic jailable offense? Anyway I looked up Washington law and it seems the problem is that everyone has a right to bail, even those who are a great risk to public safety. Judges should have some discretion he

How is SBF not considered a serious flight risk? Why is he being treated like some upstanding citizen, above trying to escape decades in prison?

I remember when iPhones first truly became useless if stolen. Tech support forums were filled with sob stories about why a particular person couldn’t activate their iPhone, begging for a secret bypass. They would make up sob stories because

A bricked iPhone is worth way less than a functional one, making the victim much less of a “juicy” target (lower odds of a violent mugging, broken car window, home burglary, etc). It’s a perfectly rational decision to want iPhones to be kno

I assume the devices are stolen and upgrading them would essentially brick them.

Why would someone refuse to update? Stolen iPhone comes to mind… Edit: keep in mind, in OP’s video they are refusing to update even after their device is essentially throwing its hands up and saying “upgrade or I’m a brick now” and they pre

This is where the government should’ve protected our “town square” by blocking the deal (Elon has too many government military entanglements to be allowed to own a social media company, too many conflicts of interest, and Elon’s past histor

Why is this myth so pervasive. Pre-musk, Twitter was making upwards of $1m per employee. If only we could all “fail” this way… It not being profitable was due to short term capital expenditures.

After seeing what musk did to twitter it’s pretty clear the emperor has no clothes, and his main asset is being a tyrant and taking the surplus value of the 80-100 hour weeks his peons do for their lord. Musk is no Steve Jobs, despite clear

Crunchyroll and Funimation, two anime streaming and localization services. Think Netflix for anime. I like Korean webtoons (Tower of God most recently) but… eh. There’s nothing like Berserk or One Piece but for webtoons. Not yet. Ganbatte,

That makes this doubly obnoxious on Spotify’s part, then. The media needs to stop giving Elon so much neutral/positive coverage, but someone as rich as Elon is surely paying for a lot of favorable coverage…
