I think white people giving a shit and talking about these issues is the only reason we've come so far. Your attitude would have kept us on the 1700s.

Yeah but there's a difference between an entire street of personal security systems accompanied by apps and social networks built on fear mongering. "just vague fears" they're called opinions which I'm allowed to ha

There are gentrifying city streets that I, a white male, will not walk down because the entire street is new construction with builder included Ring systems. I don't want to walk down a street and have literally 30 people get notificat

Inverse story: my dad sprayed water at a crow on his lawn, the crow then took to perching on the clogged gutter above the front door and kicking water at anyone who walked under.

Its location in effectively the city center is unfortunate. I absolutely love Amsterdam and recently spent 10 lazy days there but tried hard to avoid getting within a kilometer of Amsterdam Centraal. Reminds me of Times Square but with a lo

The problem is people don't want to associate with an organization lead by someone they have problems with, and a lot of people have problems with his views/behavior. The struggle of the FSF is difficult as it is. He doesn't

I don't understand the positioning. So it's instagram but only with friends and with status as an option? Why couldn't they change instagram to filter on friends or something?

Yeah I mean 30m is close from the perspective of something that ridiculous happening, but my point is the phenomenon of electrons moving to the point that you can actually sense it happening is localized to path of the lightning strike. Hen

I'm trying to be direct, this person put out a paragraph of bad advice based on anecdotal (and not applicable) evidence while the relevant professionals and education material disagree.

Something I learned recently was that lying on the ground might seem like a good idea, but it isn't the safest position. It is thought, though I think the science is kind of out still, that the safest position is basically squatting an

This is not a conducive medium to either of us swaying each other on any small point nevermind the larger argument so I'm leaving it here.

Historical and logistical context aside, 1765 vs modern weaponry and war waging abilities, are you joking? The ability for militias with small arms to fight our own military has been a joke for several decades.

On my 2018 Air, firefox runs a lot better if I put it into low res mode (macOS setting, not ffx setting). Downside is text looks pretty bad but somehow images/videos are fine and content is the same right so whatever.

I grew up with AIM and remember, even before AIM, the AOL CDs stockpiled in my house. They were quite handy as coasters and lids to wine glasses in the summer when the fruit flies came out. My parents still have some lying around for those

Not really? 1) you can still have profile pictures from a limited though large set of their IP plus highly custom Mii and 2) the expected user bases and interaction methods between platforms is not at all comparable.

Did the antennas help? Of the four, my original right is the worst with signal. The new pair has the drift issues while the original pair still has no drift issues. The new left one is the one that sporadically drifts whereas the new right

I wonder if you do drift in BoTW but you don't notice? Like my one stick will go 100% forward for 1/4 second which in BoTW really doesn't matter but in MK it'll break a kart drift and that is verrrry noticeable. Interest

Splatoon is interesting in that respect, between handheld/detached joycon/pro controller/motion/stick you have how many different ways to turn all requiring different bio mechanics? Like motion with a pro controller is a

I also have drift (maybe?) issues. One of my lefts will sporadically slam forwards and won't register anything else for like 1/4 second which is pretty horrendous in Splatoon. BoTW/Picross eh. One of my rights will pull left

This is true, and I have one and it has much better signal too, but I prefer joycons still. I like having independent hands for both comfort and also the motion controls in Splatoon (which are honestly better than a mouse) make more sense t

As an avid Splatoon player, something I've come to learn is that there are players in the highest rank who play mobile and even can't/don't/won't play on a TV. This boggles my mind and should give you an idea t

This is true but it adds a lot of complexity and brittleness for the average person.
