Americans, humble? We could never

A MacBook is very good at what it does. If you tried to spec out a laptop/portable computer for similar tasks, the Mac would be pretty competitive and have longer battery life.

Once you try to do anything that apple didn't intend for it to do (play games, for example) or if we turn to desktops then the value proposition goes away pretty quickly

All y'all's "all y'all" for all and for y'all

Just like the bible, only certain parts are treated as being meant literally

If musk won't recognize his child's new chosen name, I won't recognize twitter's new branding

That's cool, and I would pay a small fee for the convenience of not having to carry all that around

Effectiveness of this suggestion hinges on Rs having shame and/or decency. It's almost prerequisite to not have such a thing to get voted in.

Didn't they literally hide under a cardboard box like MGS? haha

What about when a security vulnerability is discovered and your car can be started and unlocked by someone else? That's one of my concerns with smart features from companies that aren't primarily tech companies

You're forklift certified?? I bow to you

my family

I don't think

you made it about you, doofus

I think we can all guess

Conservatives (given how anti-intellectual they've become) would probably suggest that non-religious education is grooming.

They've compromised their views for less

Very cool, had no idea it was that simple

Unrelated but you just reminded me of that excellent movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, which I must now go rewatch

Insert xkcd about 15th format

Yeah and now I have to go door to door to let my neighbors know about how great a time it was

The man's "role" is biological and infallible, you make it sound like it's so inflexible. But it's also so delicate and so easily influenced that children might be confused. How can it be both?

Is it actually about children instead? Well it's no one but the parent's responsibility to teach the child, right? So stop telling other people how to live

wait I can selfhost my own lemmy and then use my account from there? ... and then I can federate whoever I choose?? ... and my have ownership of my own account??? 🤯

Bjork is that you?

I've used something called "System UI Tuner" in the past. It does what you ask, in that you can modify which status car icons are shown, amongst other things.

Haven't tried it recently, not sure it still exists or works with newer versions of Android.

You're suggesting pointing out hypocrisy. Pointing it out is entirely ineffective. They just laugh and call it "owning the libs" because they are subverting the system and getting what they want. I wouldn't dismiss it as 'ignorant' so much as malicious.

Damn there's so much to agree with. The way you've found a common thread in all this, it puts into words many criticisms I've started to foster. growing up in capitalism with such a far reach (into our private lives) and high speed is absolutely leaving it's mark on the culture.

Watching Friends on Netflix in 4k is really trippy, since there are shows filmed just a little later on digital that look so bad.

The Amazon item reviews web page just barely works, but improving it doesn't generate money so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well, how do you define middle class? Is there a certain income bracket that needs to be met? Or is it the middle slice of 3 equally sliced segments of the US population?

I find the easiest way to understand Monty Hall is to think of it in a meta way:

Situation A - A person picks one of three doors, 1 n 3 chance of success.

Situation B - A person picks one of two doors, 1 in 2 chance of success.

If you were an observer of these two situations (not the person choosing doors) and you were gonna bet on which situation will more often succeed, clearly the second choice.

Inflation, yes, but you're missing the spirit of the complaint.

on the whole

is the key words here

individually the door has that 1:2 chance, but the scenario has more context and information and thus better odds. Choosing scenario B over scenario A is a better wager
