Virtually any company big enough to make a worthwhile phone is going to do terrible things. Think a given company is an exception? They won’t be once they get larger.

That being said, the fact that “everybody does it” doesn’t make it okay. The “blue vs green bubble” shit is nonsense that’s totally unnecessary.

Everything it says is shit

In 1778, Court of Session judges ruled that slavery was incompatible with Scots Law. This ruling meant Knight could not be made to carry out tasks for Wedderburn or be taken back to Jamaica against his will.

Awesome. Knight is a hero.

The only good thing to come out of this is that the cop quit. I hope he’s billed for the damage to the car anyway.

You provide an excellent example regarding training requirements. As part of those, I would also like to include safe use and home storage.

Yes, I’m American.

People with second amendment bumper stickers on their trucks seem to selectively forget the “well regulated” part.

You nailed it. That’s why I put “okay” in quotes. Those laws exist for a reason, and lionizing cops who break the law only teaches the public to accept that lawbreakers are okay if they’re on Team Good.

Unfortunately, what the government calls “good” and what you and I call “good” are often different things.

That’s “okay”, though, because we, the viewers, often know that the suspect is guilty. The cops still come off as good (and smart, with good intuition as well) because we know for certain that they’re doing the “right” thing.

This was an interesting read, but I’ve got stuff to do today, so I skipped the 90 minute video on their “outrageously ambitious mission”. Anyone care to summarize?

That’s because most fictional cops have ethics, empathy, and a conscience.

I just learned this yesterday, and still can’t believe it. How can it not support hashtags? How do you find anything? Do they plan on supporting hashtags in the future, or are they on some kind of idiotic anti-hashtag crusade?

Fuck you, Palworld, here comes Donald Duck with a shotgun.

Okay. These reasons make sense. Thanks!

I just do that to be courteous to the dentist, so my breath isn’t gross. I know it’s still obvious that I don’t floss. I see what you’re getting at, but it isn’t quite the same.

I’ve never understood this thought process. Sure, getting some stuff out of their way makes sense (like getting shoes off the floor so the cleaners can vacuum), but why clean?

It’s very freeing. Not having to care about door dings in a tight parking lot is nice.

At one of my old jobs, someone who was a manager at another business called and assumed I was a manager as well. He asked for a reference on an employee who had recently quit. The guy who left hadn’t been very good at the job, but he was a good person, clearly trying something different in a new field. I gave him a good “reference”, and the other manager sounded happy.

I wonder how it went for my old coworker…

Stone memorials - like the Lincoln, Jefferson, Vietnam, or WWII memorials in Washington D.C.

Some people just like debating. It’s incredibly refreshing when someone you completely disagree with raises a thoughtful, interesting point.
