So what, nuke it and start over? How do we destroy the bacteria and still have the majority of our walls standing?!

Are you trying to say competition is good for the consumer?! That’s a wild accusation.

I heard simular things about the Apple Watch.

You really can’t. If I ask one of my Indian co-workers what part of India they are from, I’m not trying to figure out where they land in the caste system. Indian-Americans know this, and because of them now I know why someone would avoid volunteering that information. There’s no one size fits all reaction here. Maybe they are super well informed racists that know specific regional race/classism, but I think more often than not, westerners are asking it just like they’d ask favorite sports, foods, leisure activities and so on.

The truth is more interesting than the headline

These are click bait bad, not well read into bad. “Cheap Chinese labor” is not inherently bad unless you’re for isolationism. Apple, nor any western company is directly responsible for suicides. Jobs at Foxconn were considered one of the better ones relative to the rest of the country, and workers live on site in dorms u like what you’d find in the west. The suicide rate was lower than all 50 US states. Apple only slowed down phones whose batteries were degraded so much that they couldn’t handle the power draw. The alternative was having the phone crash and reboot. They screwed up by not announcing it clearer.

What’s the point in being so pedantic? Calling it the correct thing isn’t going to make it palatable.

You can argue semantics until you go blue in the face. If you’re not used to spicy food or hot food, or food that produces a similar feeling in the mouth, you have to be careful with Indian food. Your tolerance level isn’t everyone else’s.

Spiced does not mean spicy hot.

Yea but like… it’s way hotter than most other American food by default.

Link?

Well the standard is to laser than iMessage and kinda bad fundamentally, so I wouldn’t count on much else.

The RCS standard, not Google’s implementation. There are still going to be iMessage features that won’t work.

I could say the same thing to people who made the same stupid choice in 2016 and let Roe get overturned. Oh look, that’s my point.

This might be the greatest defenition of White Privilege I’ve ever seen 🤣

I do rubber-band inbox zero.

It’s when you get a ton of email that you’re like yea I need to do that, but then you procrastinate so long that eventually you’re like, well that can’t be important anymore, so you just archive most of it without reading it to get back to zero. 😂

Yes I don’t know how many are bad faith actors posing as liberals or what. You’d think losing Row would have been the wake up call, and looking at the last couple years of elections it has, so I’m hoping it just that. Otherwise the constitutional originalists are going to turn back the clock to only rich white land owners having the real right to vote before all is said and done.

Naive. Got it.

Unattended consequences of your actions. Learn it before it’s too late.

Take care.

Don’t care. I don’t want to hear their BS. Apathy is the enemy. Re-elect Biden, then go out and yell at him for whatever the hell you want. The alternative is never being able to vote again. Not hyperbole. Republicans are actively trying to change the rules to disregard your votes.

You act like Republicans don’t have stronger ties to Israel and haven’t discriminated against Muslims. Either you’re naive or acting in bad faith.

I’m going to stop you at we don’t have a problem with terrorists. Shit take, I don’t care to continue.
