Who are the scab mods who are coming in? Are they getting paid?

And that is why Waze has to go away. It’s giving people info on cops, so that’s becoming politically inconvenient for Google.

I hear you. The best I can do is tell myself that hopefully the Coast Guard personnel and other mariners got some practice/training which will be useful in emergencies in the future. And it’s still right to try and save someone, even if they put themselves in the dangerous situation.

Heroin, amphetamines, alcohol, and cannabis all have genuine medicinal uses, and also all can be abused depending on context. Drug consumption is a fine, value-neutral term, which can refer to both their use and abuse.

Yeah, after this I think it’s just Norway and Japan. For some reason I figured Iceland would be the last holdout, but I was wrong.

How do we prove we’re not robots? Fucking select the picture with traffic lights or buses, right? How was this allowed.

I used to work at a liquor store and we had one regular customer who paid with a bitcoin card. This was around 2015 or so. It was funny because he said it was because of “anonymity” but everyone knew him as “the guy who pays with bitcoin.”

No, and I also seriously question people’s obsession with gold.

Hey. Biplanes are actually much more relevant in today’s world than crypto. They aren’t common, but there are still new biplanes made because they are a valid solution for certain problems. Unlike blockchain.

For real, as an American I’m super grateful.

there are very few people who would prioritize a replaceable battery over other features.

I gotta gently push back against this. You may not know them personally, but there are a LOT of people who have gone back to dumbphones over this. IMO, this is a large part of why dumbphone sales are catching up on smartphone sales for the first time in years. I even know some elderly folks who stopped using cell phones entirely when smartphones stopped having replaceable batteries (easier going back to having a landline when one is retired/not raising kids, of course).

There are very few people who buy the currently existing smartphones who would prioritize this feature, yes – because anyone who does prioritize this feature has been excluded from the entire smartphone market for several years now.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!

No seriously, .compact reddit on my phone and old.reddit with RES on my desktop were all I ever wanted. They haven’t gotten rid of old reddit YET but I can see the proverbial writing on the wall.

Yeah, it seems pretty obvious that their end goal here is to get people off of 3rd party apps and off of old.reddit so their eyeballs will be exposed to more ads. I now no longer really care how many more people there are on reddit. I’ll do some silly shit to avoid looking at ads. It’s almost like a religious thing for me.
