Type-C ports are a lot more sensitive to dirt in my experience. I can keep it working if I clean the port every couple weeks, but at this point I just pretend phones don’t have charging ports.

That in the very real and current contest between Biden and Trump that Biden at least supports Ukraine, whereas Trump supports Russia and would likely support Isreal to the extent of starting WWIII in the middle east to bring about the apocalypse for his evangelical base, who earnestly believe they’ll be raptured to heaven while the rest of us live through a nightmarish helscape. Which is looking less crazy by the day because some people won’t vote for an old man who doesn’t 100% align with their political views vs fanatical insanity spearheaded by an also old man.

And then got virtually all of their demands pushed through?

He’s the commander in chief of the US military. If there aren’t repercussions for exceeding his authority, it’s essentially unlimited.

Kamala Harris, the Vice President becomes President for the remainder of the term. If the President and Vice president die at the same time, the speaker of the house becomes president. There’s a very long list of successors beyond that as well.

Yep, my wife has seen my little baby wiener. The awkward teenage pictures were far more embarrassing though. Hers are buried in a hoarder house so I might never get to see her embarrassing school band photos.

Conservative: “Then they need to increase taxes! Oh wait…”

Conservatives literally believe that lowering taxes increases tax revenue by increasing the total revenue to be taxed by more than the decrease caused by a lower rate.

Context is king. Yes, anything can be said sarcastically. But when a child shares their candy with another child and 7 people are like “Aww bless his heart!!” It’s not fucking code. The fact that it’s usually used as a compliment is exactly what makes it so cutting as a sarcastic insult.

I mean give it a go. Yeah, it’s easy to distinguish in a common sense sort of way. It’s very much not an easy problem to solve in coherent legal wording, or it would’ve been already.

I agree that discrimination against vulnerable populations should absolutely not be ok, and women especially should have safe spaces to escape abusers even if it’s difficult to make a legal argument.

Anyway, that’s going to have to suffice for my argument, my daughter needs my attention more than lemmy😅

They don’t care if you’re under 16. They have to ask if they want to collect and sell your data. This is a big red sign that says “WE’RE WATCHING EVERYTHING THAT GOES THROUGH YOUR NETWORK AND SELLING IT TO WHOEVER WILL PAY US!”

There are two and only two things that makes Epic Games a pariah.

(1)Exclusive content on PC should be shunned so hard that it’s not even a fucking option. You can explain away exclusively on PS3 because of its unique hardware, but it’s just a naked monopolistic power grab on PC.

(2) Epic game store sucks on every level. It’s a pigs 3 week old rotting corpse compared to Valve’s packaged ham.

Yeah, but Valve doesn’t really give a shit if it’s abused. Steam is a solitary positive example of the weird “(mostly)benevolent monopoly” idea. GabeN owns the company, there aren’t any shareholders to appease, so as long as he’s alive steam will be solid. I hope he has a successor picked out that can uphold his ideals.

Not in Arizona. You don’t even have to live there, just have to file there.

There’s at least 10 states with no annual fee. Arizona is $50 to file, $0 annual fees, and no annual report to file.

If you’d prefer your company to have voting rights, you can file in Rhode Island, and your company can vote in local and state elections without ever stepping foot in the state. Hooray late stage capitalism 😞

That’s a “game” that my friends play, player 1 plays 3 songs with a vibe, player 2 attempts to continue the vibe in their own library, etc…

It’s a pretty fun background activity. The vibe always shifts slowly from player to player.

I remember leaded gas too, from 15 seconds ago when a propeller plane flew over my house dumping lead out it’s exhaust. They inexplicably are still allowed to use leaded gas in small aircraft. Even new planes are designed to only accept leaded cause it’s all they have at the airports.

Chiquita is a cartel. The list of heinous shit they’re responsible for is absurd.

Those name tag magnets are ubiquitous in food service. Could be any fast food place with whipped cream. That said, yeah, I don’t know of any chain that’s made their own whipped cream since 2005.

commercial airlines crash less than once a month.

A lot less if you’re only counting advanced democracies. The last multi-casualty commercial plane crash in the US was in 2009, 15 years ago. I only make that multi-casualty caveat because otherwise you get weird one offs like a guy running into a landing strip and getting run over.

Even the one in 2009 was a fairly small propeller plane.
