Japanese company: Makes super faithful waifu figures
American company: Makes Facebook-avatar-like figures
TBH half of them are quite good, but the other half is kinda weird.

Fuck ads, they’re everywhere at every level. I want to see less of them, not more.
You get a bidet, you get a bidet, everyone gets a bidet! The same bidet for everyone!
I can only assume OP wants the shop to taxi them home. maybe back when the car is ready? Most fixes on the range of hundreds of dollars take several hours, or days depending on the availability of parts/tools.
Shops fix cars, driving customers is an added value I wouldn’t expect from most car shops. More so, if you committed to pay a few hundreds for a repair when it’s ready, it’s reasonable to assume you have enough money to go home on your own. A bicycle is always an option, though.
His first book (Sapiens) does a great job of showing how frail is modern civilization, though. Its foundation is, like religion, only beliefs.
IIRC Sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans coexisted for some time, so it could be not about things that aren’t human, but humans that are different. To this day, xenophobia and ethnocentrism are common attitudes.

Because medicine shouldn’t become a flea market where you’re gambling your health against profit maximization.
Give pharmaceutical companies a fair price scale where they can profit, don’t let them hyperinflate prices without justification.
It’s not the same if Apple prices their phones at 20,000 USD and you decide you’re buying other brand, pharma plays these extortion games after they have captured enough market/regulation so most people have to pay or stay sick.
It’s like
– Arms dealer: Each tank cost me 500,000 dollars to make. Give me 5 billion for each.
– Let’s negotiate. How about 500 million instead?
– Arms dealer: Fiiine, but only because you’re a good client.
Pro tip: you can use Google’s Verbatim mode to get exactly what you want.
Reg also caught transporter monsters with his bare hands, just to prove everyone he wasn’t that crazy.

This has no right to be that funny.
iPhone reveal events have become basically:
a) Offering as new what other brands have offered as standard for years.
b) Offering something new that only works if you buy more Apple.
I have an iPhone, and couldn’t wait for the iOS 17 release so I installed the beta. Underwhelming is the right word, the event has no right to be named “wonderlust”.
Why would Apple go through the effort to offer you new features if it can just deny standard features to older/cheaper models so you pony up for a new phone?
The most innovative thing Apple is no longer the iPad/iPhone, by a long shot. Maybe their VR set, but it’s too early to tell.
You’ll only get more extensions, if anything. The current copyright system is an atavism from older, simpler times.
We changed to USB-C ports because the EU forced us we have courage!
True, but I still have occasional wet dreams about the future Enterprise D. It was amazing in a bellic kind of way.
Most of us neurodivergent people consider ourselves smart and observant. Observe those who you consider small talk comes naturally, and see how they fall into patterns. They’re more elaborate that a non-answer catalogue, but they’re still crutches to make ease the friction.
An acquaintance of mine, for example, tells jokes. Some times they bomb, but he doesn’t sweat it, they’re still ice breakers. Another acquaintance immediately gets the attention of nearby females by retelling one more how he went randomly backpacking across Europe as a poor, young musician. If that doesn’t work, he has other, equally entertaining tales, which we have few ways of fact checking, ha ha.
But for us small-talk-stunted people, clever non-answers are a perfect crutch to fend off the awkwardness until we acquire this skill, and we can always refuse small talk if we’re not in the mood.
