Americans only like cops if they are brutalizing minorities or striking workers.
Yes.

Humans generally don’t mind guardrails and the like when they trust the people enacting them.
We’ve never really trusted the PO-lice in the USA, some have enthusiastically but many have never

Yep.
I’m now old enough that I’ve been here longer than the really eager and overachieving youths who did the management pipeline.
I have become a fixture, my name is now a role.
- Comment on It was a simpler time 1 week ago:
Instagram (and presumably other meta apps) push threads, you can accidentally sign up and be sent to download the app vv easily if you aren’t paying attention.
The ads for it are integrated better than ads.
- Comment on I love pineapple on pizza! 2 weeks ago:
Pizza is already made with fruit as one of its centerpieces.
Pineapple and Ham are a wonderful combination.
They go really well in a tangy sweet marinara on baked bread. Coated in cheese, too.
So yes

Or they sell you a smaller quantity for the amount desired, you pay more / item and receive less but pay less overall for the “item”
Like a smaller box of laundry detergent or a smaller-than-normal-sized snickers.

Rome Total War 2 is still up for sale with a game breaking bug that happens when you load your first campaign battle.
I love total war but god damn do they just get away with shit

They’ve since introduced some very solid filtering for streaming mission data.

Sure. But the cult of anti Apple is on display here in this thread and is wildly MORE pervasive.
Then again it’s largely only kids who give a fuck
- Comment on Why? 4 weeks ago:
It sure would be whatavoutism if I was trying to make one side the good guy or the other guy specifically the bad guy.
My point entirely is that they all do fucked up shit and pretending your favorite tech company is good while the other is evil is some stupid shit.
Use what you like. Accept there are problems and things that could be done better. Get something else if it ticks your boxes.
But to be a braindead tech tribalist by parroting the narrative that
foo product usersare inherently brainwashed and dumb is irony at its best. - Comment on Why? 4 weeks ago:
That’s exactly what it is.
Planned obsolescence, but my iPhone 11 from 2019 still receives updates. Do any android devices from then still get new Android?
None of my cords that did the fraying ever frayed, I had one friend who’s cord frayed. But it was all over the internet.
It’s called othering when we make shit up about people to categorize them as worse, but since tech isn’t people our baser instincts are fine.
- Comment on Why? 4 weeks ago:
Your comment so perfectly encapsulates what I’m talking about.
I use Apple products because I develop on a Unix system that has support from the manufacturer. That’s why I use Apple.
Nobody else provides that for me.
It’s like you are wildly incorrect but having to join the tech fight
- Comment on Why? 4 weeks ago:
The “planned obsolescence” argument holds as much water as a sieve and always has.
It’s cope. Everyone seems to need to cope about why they got what they got and not the other thing. Nobody can just admit “I got the thing I wanted”
- Comment on Why? 4 weeks ago:
You’re literally parroting the same type of tech tribalism bullshit that I’m responding to.
They had a design defect. It happens.
They’ve never sold me a phone that explodes in my pocket though. I guess Samsung also planned that obsolescence?
It’s the “assigning intent” behind a thing that proves the tribalism.
For fucks sake just use the shit you want to use and let other people use the shit they want to use.

The cables that degraded that way were because they used a more recyclable product.
Their cables are now braided by default.
The “hating apple” or better yet “tech tribalism” in general is the real cult

We need to reinstitue the turkey and pilgrim.
I realize the pilgrim as a symbol might be problematic and not everyone wants to use that.
So I propose for anyone who doesn’t want to use the pilgrim symbol you instead use a smiling cutout of Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Anyways. Get the turkey back out here to help hold the line against the “winter holiday”

We’re all pointing out that he had the opportunity to use his platform to be on the right side of history and didn’t.
He had the chance and the opportunity and the platform.
One took it. Kudos to them.
The other let someone else take the fall and then deflected.
