I have a Samsung S20 and I'll never buy another Samsung phone again unless they drastically change course. Their dumb insistence on fighting Google at every turn means that Google Fi's Visual Voicemail is broken on Samsung devices

I grew up in the 80s. There was a very real fear of being vaporized by a nuclear bomb at any moment. The 90s was a great time in America because, for us, it was immensely peaceful, prosperous, and hopeful.

Doesn't your university have a gym? Take advantage of it. Take a weight lifting class if you can. Look for a trainer if you can't. There's no beating weights, in my opinion. Your stated goal is long-term health. I don&#x

your description of work and collaboration is very cynical. One man's cynic is another man's realist. In my opinion, OP's description of office life is idealistic, like a teacher describing the theme of Dead Poets Society

Idk it’s pretty normal to be able to make friends at most jobs I never said that I didn't make friends, I said that I never made a connection that proved valuable in the context of networking, i.e. career growth.

Consumer lock-in is an incalculable risk. For a professional practitioner, adopting dependence on custom hardware gadgets from boutique hobby ventures is an incalculable risk. Just... Unplug the keyboard and go back to your old one! If

Ah, yes, giving management that sweet plausible deniability. Just create an impossible demand on your workers and then act surprised when they employ unethical practices to meet those demands. Just like Wells Fargo. https://en.m
