Apple can do this because nobody else makes a high quality monitor that doesn’t look terrible. In nice offices, each chair is a couple thousand each. Full designs easily $50k+. Theyre not going to mess up a such a thoughtfully designed aest

Yes on order of timing around nukes or when we knew of them. But fidel was a tyrant who impoverished his people. The funniest thing was his hearse braking down and having to be pushed by his soldiers. Really summed the mans contributions…

So why has wealth been spread around the world during a period of US hegemony and naval dominance?

That was also after Cuba nationalized its industries, many of which had US shareholders without paying them, had political purges that murdered hundreds of thousands (Che shirts celebrate a mass murderer) got in bed with the USSR and tried

This is a shockingly bad take. Nobody else is poisoning political rivals with radioactive umbrellas in London. Nobody else had a Gulag Archipelago. Not even Hitler killed half as many people in concentration camps. Russian Fed is an organiz

Remember the USSR was allies with the Nazis and only turned on them because they were betrayed. Spending your citizens lives cheaply is not a noble thing. The US had nukes and its manufacturing and soldier population was massive. Coupled wi

I dont see anything especially bad about the US. The notion that other countries would have acted better is often betrayed by their own history. The US just historically had more capability. Additionally the pax americana has saved million

At the time Nuking a country wasn’t a war crime. Also fire bombing raids on other cities (eg Dresden) were actually worse than the nuclear bombing. Additionally it could be argued that the nuclear option actually killed fewer civilians than

I would add the US did not unilaterally start the war in Iraq or Yugoslavia and definitely not the one with Japan. In the case of Japan, the US rebuilt an enemy after they attacked the US without a declaration of war and made them an ally a

A lot of people are dunking on this post but none are showing a terminal career path that stays in tech and is something other than: - Manager of some kind - Senior IC of some kind - Independent of some kind It seems a reasonable breakdown

Oh, and the companies paying hundreds of millions of dollars are not integrated through the web UI

Additionally, Twitter is typically a poor place for influencers. Keep em on snaptokgram

You have to take into account that the people that Twitter makes the most money off of for real time functionality are not integrated through the web interface.

How would an influencer schedule breaking news and live on the ground footage of whatever thing that is happening in the world?

Twitter’s real time aspect is a core value proposition compared to other social media platforms. Nothing tells you what is happening right this second as well as Twitter. It is faster than earthquake shock waves. And people rely on that spe

People should expect that when they mark their account as protected it is indeed protected. Things need to do what they say on the box

I agree but there is a self fulfilling aspect to thinking that way. It is better to believe anything is possible and be wrong than to impose limitations on ourselves. Most great accomplishments seem impossible at first.

Cool, so lit critics can start publishing interpretations of clear expressions of the gay and trans experience and claiming the gay/trans characters are closeted or secretly wish to detransition? (I hope not)

Or, and hear me out here, they just had experienced trench warfare in WWI (which Mordor is arguably inspired from and which Sam and Frodo had to experience together) and few things ever draw men closer together platonically than being in co

Maybe not the term but the practice: “The danger of mistaking our merely natural, though perhaps legitimate, enthusiasms for holy zeal, is always great. The demon inherent in every party is at all times ready enough to disguise himself as t

Because it is. No claims are made now so nothing is provable/refutable. It is faux intellectualism, professional pedantry. We just debate narratives. It devolves into playground tribalism with moral relativism, theres not much to be cu

Real reply: I think the subjective experience of the reader/viewer is immensely important. Who doesn't tingle at the feeling of relating to a long dead author/artist in a unique way or degree that you struggle to with people

Grade AAA gold coated bullshit is the life blood of most of those departments. It defines their careers. Way to give them what they want.

Sure, but I don't think you need a survey to hypothesize that: 1. Literature interpretation is subjective. 2. If you take subjectivity too far then nothing has meaning anymore. 3. People might not pay to read things that are always dec

Sure but it very rare for an account with substantial follower numbers not to be a blue check (unless they became prominent during a time when Twitter had suspended the verification program for new blue checks). Blue checks also get recomme

I am not talking about wild ideas in the literature but wild ideas in the interpretation of the literature. There is a pressure to interpret everything with the lens of partisan identity politics. Eg. Most recently this surfaced outside of
