> If looks are important for employment how then men find a job? This feels very fallacious. Attractiveness can be important but not the only factor that matters. Height is a way t…

I agree with this. I think of the few websites where moderation truly is very light such as 4chan and how the discussion on those websites can get truly disturbing. Even the fairly…

It’s an ethos thing. Don’t make ridiculous claims if you want to convince people of your argument; by nature people will assume everything else is nonsense, too.

The AmEx platinum seems like a fancy coupon book full of credits I mostly wouldn’t use. Maybe if I cared about airport lounges more I would feel differently, but I agree with your …

Uber used to have a watch app that allowed you to do this. I assume they canned it due to lack of usage.

I also thought it was funny that they are listing features like apple pay and magnetic charging as if these features have anything to do with the case.

Could you link something showing that "almost all" journalists claimed the laptop wasn't real? Some articles from notable publications making such claims, etc.

I've had a bug where unpausing a particular app requires doing so 2+ times before I can access the app. The bug has persisted on multiple devices for multiple years and it makes fo…

Los Angeles is indeed building a lot of public transit. As is the nature of any of these projects, especially in California, it will be many years (decades) before much of it is co…

Just about all of Apple's alternates to Google services are fine in my experience. I recently switched from Proton Mail to Apple Mail and have been satisfied saving a few bucks a m…

He has a notorious habit of overpromising and underdelivering. I thought that habit of his was well established even before he became so vocally political.

They've sold some of their robots (particularly the dog) to PDs and manufacturing companies. Not sure if they've ever been profitable, though.

I understand that suburban communities sometimes fight public transit stops in attempt to preserve "neighborhood character" and whatnot. That could be what the other user is referr…

With Twitter imploding we now have 3 competitors that have nearly the identical user experience as Twitter. The federation concept is interesting, but if it at the end of the day i…

I'd imagine there's a lot of undesirable friction in "tipping" online (clicking a link, filling out a credit card form, etc.) that a tip jar in a cash-based society never had.

Both would be less than the CO2 produced by a train. I hope Brightline West works out.

I successfully evaded TikTok for years only to get accidentally sucked in once Instagram added their copycat. It made me delete the app off my phone; the format is too potent and (…

I don't care for any airline, but while I see your disgust for United expressed often I haven't had any issues with them. Granted I only fly them a few times a year. Either they've…

I don't experience any such lag spikes even when I have a lot running. Are you using a Macbook Air?

You can also use Siri to enable/disable VoiceOver

You're correct that rural life is an exception here, but most Americans don't live in rural areas and I presume that's what the other user is talking about. In many American cities…

I would guess one difference is that the average distance traveled by car each year is higher in the US. Google results suggest its roughly twice as much.

I presume they are referring to the airline deregulation act of 1978. There used to be dozens of regional airlines whereas now we notably have 3-4 giant corporations after decades …
