> I would drop the App Store in a heartbeat if I could. You can. Nothing is stoping you. Just do it.

When Nestlé’s involved the answer to that question is always money. I won’t be surprised if they start convincing some third world counties that meat is bad and to eat their produc…

When the first people where trying to invent the airplane, they where not deterred by pessimists saying “why bother? There ain’t any airports around anyway”

I have never heard anything worth remembering come form trying to argue about government spending or fiscal policy by treating it like household budgeting. It’s kind of like if peo…

I love the comparison! :D It conjures the image of someone answering concerns about storage with “don’t worry we can just hide it under my bed!”

> If their product (the app store) is genuinely better for users.... Apple doesn’t make and sell App Store. It makes and sells iPhones. And it’s not “genuinely better” and they do …

It’s a textbook bug, it’s an unhandled edgecase. The designer didn’t sit down and go “and logically when a circular belt is full, the items should stop moving while the belts keep …

The fact that they chose not to fix it does not mean it’s not a bug. It’s obvious to even a first grader that this is not how items on a circular belt should behave.

I’d be ok with then charging a significantly lower for a “limited bandwidth” connection. But I bought an unlimited, so they have no right to complain. Imagine if the same principle…

Honestly curious, where in the world do you live? Equating sustainable with lower quality is really odd to me and I don’t think anywhere at least in Northern Europe. If companies a…

This much more clearly displays the problem with all these “this service does not exist” because even though it doesn’t show the source material it’s abundantly clear that these ar…

Is it really too much to expect the American adult population be receptive to communication above that targeting preschoolers? It would even matter if Fauci was talking to the anti…

Honest question, do people add tips to McD in the US? Because then comparing the price payed by the customer in the transaction becomes closer, even higher if you factor in 20% tip…

How is it disingenuous? McDonald’s (the corporation) where the ones deciding not to follow union agreements, it wasn’t some individual franchise owner doing it.

> Firing anyone not worth minimum wage makes the true minimum wage $0 = unemployment. Denmark is not communist. The state doesn’t mandate that you have to work for Mcdonalds and ca…

What? Why would I try to remove a union contract minimum wage that applies to myself and coworkers, simply because one individual is slow or inefficient? That makes no sense what s…

This logic sounds like an argument for chopping of you hand if it falls sleep. There is an obvious and straightforward way of getting those 12000 people to work again. There is no …

Obviously, empirically, an extremely large group of people do yea.

Interesting experiment. Traditionally when people reach the point of wanting to pay money to get a wife, they travel to some less well off country and buy a wife from there.

Yes, It’s a mix of these people “not being able to help themselves” to fight off foreign government interference, and the foreign government interference. Similar to how people who…

> I'd rather have a beefier electrical system than maintain an electrical system AND a hydrogen pipeline system. Sure, but so what? India is not dependent on you personally maintai…

Every now and again I look into this “x causes rise in suicide rate in young females” nd every time it ends up being only visible in the US. Last time i looked into it, people wher…

I think no, but that army matches on quite a large load of cash, so they’ll likely offer him a settlement agreement which means he “losses” but gets paid. Not fair by any account, …

That a completely different and silly argument. Should an employer be allowed to raise an employees wage? Yes, sure.... but no, if hey are allowed to modify the terms of employment…

The notion that any working class individual should not care about any other working class individuals who draw a higher salary then themselves is whats keeping the working class f…
