I would think it would make you eligible for both state charges and federal charges. idk though.

Autistic people very much have a hard time knowing the difference between looking and staring. Many just overcompensate by not looking at all, which isn't very conducive to making friends.

It would be hilarious to see fascists go from "we like milk because it represents white purity" to "we drink impure off-color milk that could kill us, but this still somehow represents white purity".

Ahh, yeah that would be pretty good, but I doubt it would ever happen in the West.

What are the odds he invades Mexico to fight the cartels he just labelled as terrorist organizations?

I'm not sure I fully understand. Having a pre-made UI would limit what functionality could be implemented. And it sounds like the OS developer making 90% of an app then just letting third parties plug in their back end. Like a white label kind of thing? Or do you mean something more like UIKit/SwiftUI?

Wow I replied to points in a structured manner, how cringe. I had a lot to say on a topic I'm interested in, how embarrassing. I guess my neurodivergence is showing, I'll try to hide it for you.

Disengage.

The current boycott campaign against Israeli goods began in October 2023 after McDonald’s in the occupied Palestinian territories announced it had donated thousands of free meals to Israeli soldiers.

That was done by the franchisee in Israel. McDonald's responded by buying out the franchise and now directly operates all their restaurants in Israel (and is no longer giving out free food to the IOF).

I wonder how much of that lost revenue was from having to buy out 200+ stores.

Of course the fact that stores are still running means McDonald's is still profiting off of the genocidal settler-colonial state. And now that profit is more direct.

lmao Trump can get third party votes by making (and keeping) one promise meanwhile Democrats would rather constantly antagonize third party voters than do absolutely anything those voters want.

They're basically multiple apps built in to one. I don't see how there would be an experience difference between going to your home's phone screen to open a different app vs going to the super-app's home screen to open a different sub-app.

Like it's literally just replicating the functionality of the phone's OS but in a single app. The only possible difference I can see is that the sub-apps are more tightly integrated with one another, but the same is basically true for apps from the phone/OS maker (I'm mainly thinking Apple here since that's what I have, but I'm sure Android has similar with its built-in apps).

The "4 apps" example is pretty wrong. You can pay someone directly in the iMessage app with Apple Pay, then order from whatever other app (also paying using Apple Pay). They included "your mobile wallet needs to be updated" as if that's something you have to do every day just to pad the number of apps. In reality it's two apps, iMessage and the food ordering app. In WeChat it's probably the same, the messaging sub-app which probably also has the ability to pay someone directly, and the food ordering sub-app. (Although in both situations it would be more efficient for the boss to make the order and just have you pick it up.)

Apple Maps (and I'm sure Google Maps too) also has the ability to compare prices among ride share apps and go directly to the book screen of those apps like she said for Gaode Maps. It can also take you to a restaurant's page on a food delivery app.

Also, what she says at 3:03 is a pretty bad thing. In the US in most places you can pay with cash, card, and your phone's built in tap to pay. Everywhere else is just cash and card because they haven't modernized (or just cash because they're stingy about paying card processing fees). Being able to pay with cash anywhere is pretty important imo for multiple reasons, privacy being a big one.

~~X~~ WeChat, the everything app

It has no presence in Russia because it’s a terrorist state.

> McDonald’s has 228 locations in Israel, all directly owned by corporate.
