Big yawn

Microsoft is so… Old people stuff

The car is the difference. If they could ban walking everywhere, they would. Who knows, maybe they will

Ok bye?

What does that do?

It leaves you stuck in the system you have along with those players. You can vote third party, organize around a different election system, but don’t shit on people who see that as wasted effort at best and sabotage at worst. They’re not wrong, because it’s an all-or-nothing play. You’re shooting the moon. If you vote third party, you’d better be 100% sure they’re gonna win or you’re just wasting your vote you could have used to cancel a fascist’s vote. Don’t say “they choose not to” but realize you’re demanding they take a huge risk with small chance of success (zero chance if you don’t organize and just complain on the internet)

It’s the reality of first past the post. Third party voting is simply almost never an option. You’re mad at a natural law of the election system. Don’t hate the players, hate the game

Maybe take your irony detector to the repair shop, I think it may be faulty

Supreme Court scandal
Gun violence
Police brutality
Politicized natural disaster relief
Food insecurity
Homelessness
Drug epidemic
Pregnancy mortality
And, last but not least:

Fascist attempted coup

America: 🤷‍♂️

Mandatory reporting strikes again. This person didn’t get the medical help they needed because they didn’t want police involved. This is exactly why doctors can’t share your medical information with anyone: because then people will keep secrets from their doctors and the entire medical field suffers

Chrome got popular at introduction because it was much faster at loading and displaying websites. Sure, there was a marketing push by Google, but it succeeded on the products merits and not some unfair business advantage. It still is a great browser.

We do need antitrust protections but not always because consumers are getting a bad product. It’s more about the balance of power. Maybe their products are good now, or their business practices are fair now to other market actors, but you never know when that will change and then it’s too late. It’s like you need safeguards against autocracy also when they’re genuinely doing good job of running the country, because it’s never worth it in the long run when they inevitably start doing nasty shit

I tried this on my previous phone, Samsung S9, it made everything worse. I bought and replaced a daughterboard with usb, microphone, antenna, and some other stuff. I was very careful, know my way around electronics, found a perfect iFixit video instruction, but afterwards my antenna didn’t work anymore. My partner told me to just take it to a repair shop and let a professional handle it. I tried two and they both said “we don’t do dat repair because it’s too difficult. It can’t be done without breaking something else in the phone”. So there it is

I don’t know who downvoted you, but they must not have heard of Iron Dome

Type 12 liberal?

Not sure what you mean. Blinding headlights is definitely worse in the last two decades

Lighting is the determining factor? I think the real problem is speed. With kids coming out of nowhere, people need to drive slower. With some regular low beams you should see plenty, no need to light up the whole neighborhood

Your low beams were fine 20 years ago. Don’t create this expectation in drivers that they have to turn night into day. That only adds to the problem of asshole drivers prioritizing their ability to see over other people’s ability to see. Matrix headlights are unnecessary and create orders of magnitude more light pollution

Blinding headlights are due to poorly aligned low beams, too bright LED headlights, bigger cars with their headlights mounted higher and higher. So the solutions are: low beam alignment that can’t be made to blind you by the driver, regulation on luminosity and color spectrum of lights, stop financial incentives to make vehicles large, heavier, deadlier.
