They do, most of the time. For example if you upload an heic file from an iPhone to a file input on a website that doesn’t accept heic files, it’ll upload a jpeg.
Apple can’t see or control all the different ways of transferring files, though, so in practice it still causes problems sometimes.
The strange thing is that some Android phones also save photos as heic files and make no attempt to convert them, so I still had to add logic to my websites to convert them myself.
It would stop them if people would actually fucking do it.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve read today.
Avoiding slurs is good, but you’re still claiming that her experience is impossible because you’ve never experienced the same thing.
The irony here is so thick, it’s absolutely incredible.

I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.
Or for another example, see Andrew Tate and all the idiots who follow him.
unless a progressive third party emerges the system will keep getting worse
If a progressive third party emerges, they’ll split the vote with Democrats, making both of them weaker. That’ll just give every election to Republicans and make the country get worse even faster.
The only way to get progressive candidates is by moving the Overton window to the left, and the only way to do that is by voting for Democrats.
Statistically no, it’s not very dangerous as far as big cities go. Its homicide rate is ranked 30-something in the USA. Pretty much every city has “bad areas”, though.
MAP (minimum advertised price) is often different from MSRP, but otherwise this comment is correct.
In some industries, like RVs or auto parts, the vast majority of products have a MAP. The manufacturers also have bots that scan the internet for MAP violations, and they’ll blacklist a vendor if they don’t fix the price within a day or two. (Which is really annoying when there’s a false positive and I get blamed for it.)
I think it’s partly so high volume vendors can’t put smaller vendors out of business by just reducing their margins as much as possible, and it’s partly because the manufacturer doesn’t want their products to look like they’re really cheap. Customers feel better about finding a “great deal” on an “expensive” product.

I don’t hate Republicans because they’re on the other side of the fence.
I hate them because they’re trying to kill some of my friends and family.
If Republicans gain control of the federal government again, people I know will die.

Pressuring Israel for a ceasefire, starting on new policies for sanctions, airdropping aid into Gaza, meeting with Netanyahu’s political rival Benny Gantz, and the few critical statements the white house has made about Israel are all things that the US would not have done in the past, and absolutely would not be doing now if we had a Republican president.
And there’s more coming. No way it ends here.
The goal is to change Israel, not to destroy our relationship with them, and there’s a myriad of reasons for that.
That doesn’t mean that nothing is changing.
Back that up.
I just did.
Palestinian women and girls have been subjected to sexual assaults
I haven’t said a single word to defend Israel’s actions, and I’m not going to. That’s also fucked up.
That’s why it’s a good thing that Biden has started to change US policy toward Israel.
The 23-page report said the team also found “clear and convincing information” that some of the women and children taken back to Gaza that day by Hamas as hostages were subjected to “rape and sexualized torture and sexualized cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.” There were “reasonable grounds to believe,” it said, “that this violence may be ongoing.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/03/04/hamas-rape-un-report-hostages/
It’s the single most important thing for Hamas to know. When they say they don’t know, it just means they tortured, raped and killed all of the hostages, but they don’t want to admit to it.
Hamas doesn’t get to say “we don’t know where any of the hostages are” and then follow that by saying “the ball is in Israel’s court”. That’s fucked.
We’re in this situation because people don’t vote.
All other forms of political activism, aside from murder, exist to convince people to vote.
Activism without voting is worthless.
You want more progressive candidates? Vote for Democrats until Republicans are forced to move to the left, and then Democrats will be able to move to the left as well.
That’s how the Overton window works.
