She was definitely talking about Elongated, but probably had that comeback planned ahead of time.

The audio port for headphones and headsets. Replaceable batteries. Extendable storage. Fuckers charge 100x more for every little upgrade now.

It's pretty wild to me that healthcare workers would only earn $5 more per hour than McDonald's workers.

It's also wild that the $30,000,000,000.00 that the UPS drivers are splitting, would have only gone to a few incredibly wealthy people, had the workers not made a stand.

Half the time it's because it's FOSS with a proprietary skin over it.

And vaginas, and MRI machines, and hearts change dramatically every couple of years. Plus the human body grows new organs and limbs every few months and you're expected to immediately have 5 years experience with these new organs and limbs that have only existed for 2 months. Perfectly healthy suddenly people fall unconscious for no reason, despite all of their organs operating perfectly. When you check your human body documentation you discover that the lungs no longer work as of today, and you now need to use the sclurtleplussy instead. You have no idea what a sclurtleplussy, but you better figure it out immediately, or all these patients will die.

The mouse definitely would have escaped and ran straight to Sauron.

Edit: in short terms: Capitalism took the internet from the people.

Well said. The Internet was certainly a lot more fun before anyone figured out how to make money on it. But it's insane that these companies make more money now than even the largest giants did when I was a kid, and it's still not enough for them. I'm just flabbergasted by their insatiable desire. They could keep a good product and still pull insane profits, but they're willing to burn it all down for another percentage point on their quarterly return. I guess that's a change to the world in general now too. There used to be a common wisdom that if you built a great product, and made your customers happy, you'd be successful. The prevailing attitude now is that the success that comes from that isn't enough anymore. You need to make the worst product that you're still able to sell, and then make sure you sell it to the same people multiple times. It's gross.

Oh cool! So cars will be free now since the manufacturers are turning drivers into the product. Right? Right guys? Cars will be free?

Teens will feel like outcasts if they get an Android phone while their friends still use iMessage because of the green bubbles

I know a 46 year old man who constantly complains about green bubbles in group texts. He doesn't seem to realize that it's his phone that isn't following a standard and instead has chosen to refuse the RCS standard and lock him into proprietary bullshit.

Hunter is facing some federal tax and gun charges right now. Not that it matters, he's not an elected official. It also says something about Joe's character that he's not threatening judges & prosecutors, or pardoning Hunter, like a certain someone else would do.

They were both born wealthy so it would be pretty stupid to listen to them explaining how to get rich, unless you were also born wealthy.

I want to thank Facebook for making it blatantly obvious to us that we should never get any brain implants. They'll definitely use them to read your thoughts and push ads straight into your consciousness. Oh, and you'll probably have to pay a subscription.

Are sims accurate enough that with a wheel, pedals, and a shifter that I could reach someone how to drive a manual transmission? Obviously we'd finish up in a real car, in the real world, but I was thinking that maybe they'd learn better without the stress of real world consequences, and maybe we'd end up on the other side of training with a lot less transmission damage.

Do privacy focused phones have such a service? What maps and music apps do they use if such a thing exists?

I have the show read posts checkbox unchecked to supposedly not show posts I've already read, but the app still shows all of them, essentially leaving the feed rather stale. Is this a bug, or am I supposed to do something to indicate that a post has been read? The heading color changes, so I assume that the app knows I've seen it already.

Don't people have any hobbies, passions, or anything better to talk about? Politics and news are such boring conversations, full of intentional outrage and strife. I sure wish that we as an online community could break away from the divisive machinations of the disreputable media.

This is my first time working with wood filament and it occurred to me that if it's 30% wood fiber then I might be able to get a strong bond with regular old Elmer's glue. Has anyone tried this?

The app can obviously determine what we've seen already since it greys the titles of those posts. It would be great if there was a setting to hide those posts by default once they've been viewed.

I tried watching it right now and turned it off about half way through. The deep and meaningful, touching story is gone, only to be replaced by annoying, contrived characters, and unbelievable situations. I don't understand how this movie is getting such good reviews. I genuinely loved the original, but was mostly just annoyed by all the noise and ridiculous characters in this remake.
