Apple spearheaded this but you could imagine Facebook spearheading it and everybody else following. Honestly the original gun emoji was simply a bad idea because it makes it hard to make apps that are age-rated for small children when there

The vast majorly of games I buy are from word of mouth or from seeing it on YouTube or Twitch. I think game reviews are somewhat of an anachronism when you can just watch the game to see if you'd like it.

I use an extension that automatically closes tabs after 30 minutes of inactivity. So my tab counts never get super high. I think when people say they want a lot of tabs, they mean they want better bookmarking and history search. There'

That presumes are always 100% correct about what work you need to do. A walk in the park can be worth a hundred hours of work if that walk in the park sparks the realisation that you were about to waste a hundred hours doing something in th

You can look at it as a positive too. Having no degree as a programmer means that overly bureaucratic workplaces are filtered out and your chances of ending up at a workplace that has a minimum of BS are increased. Only works for programmer

Sounds good to me. I only use my phone for web browsing, chatting and taking pictures, plus a few easily replaceable commodity apps. The hardest thing to replace would be whatsapp since they really have us RestOfTheWorlders locked in good.

In Greek not in English though. In spoken English "Pee" is urine, not the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Also it's worth noting that Ancient Greek and Modern Greek have different pronunciations. Some

Sure but what was being suggested was a bandwagon effect where a few early reviews are bad and it influences the reviews afterwards. Since the major reviews were all published on the same day that doesn't seem particularly likely.

Thankfully we have websites such as booking.com to sniff out fraudulent operations like GP's. Reviews where guests have been turned away with a valid reservation are the reddest of red flags for me. Dirty rooms can be cleaned, cockroac

It doesn't constitute trolling by itself, but it does imply he's not Muslim or Jewish, which narrows down possible reasons why he might be offended by santa hats. Not to suggest that most Muslims or Jews are offended by Santa hats

The user is clearly trolling, firstly his name is Christian, he says a Santa hat is a "religious symbol" (???) and display of such religious symbols is almost as offensive as a [nazi] swastika, an offensive statement in itself!

Is it not possible for a word to change in meaning over time? For example "mansion" in English means a big and expensive house befitting nobility, but in the original Latin it just means a dwelling.
