Listen to the episode from last week “why cynicism is bad for you” … you’re on to something with your post here that is covered a lot in the episode.

Do you listen to The Grey Area?

What is a computer?

Right? Imagine if Iran did this to Israel.

Maybe it’s because Israel recently pulled something similar with a bunch of pagers.

He did so by playing a cover from Third Eye Blind

I think most people in California support the crackdown. California tried the compassionate approach for many years, but we are sick of seeing meth heads in our downtowns. From the article, these people are being offered shelter beds and are refusing them. They are turning down help. There has to be a limit.

I play a fair amount of games, and picked this one up because of all the hype. I probably played 5-6 hours, but the game just did not grab me. I’ve tried 2-3 times to get into it, but it’s not clicking.

You play phone tag because people REALLY hate being called

lol why

To be fair, won’t this be an issue for all EVs?

I feel she also may be saying certain stuff just to close off avenues of attack for Republicans. She’d rather just say something conservatives would like to hear than give a hedging response to appease the base that Trump and co would run with. For example, when asked about guns, she said “I’m a gun owner, so is Walz” — it’s just not worth losing this election over being pure on a handful of issues that might trigger moderates and swayable conservatives.

Two different things. Money’s usefulness is in its scarcity and authenticity. So, making fake money identifiable by making real money harder to reproduce renders the fake money worthless.

Unfortunately, adding a watermark to a gun doesn’t really stop it from being a gun.

This is dumb because it’s not comparing the 16 Pro model. The 16 is the budget model. The pro model has many of these features like the 120Hz display, but I guess you need to omit things to get people outraged and upvote your silly meme.

Also, who tf even uses USB? I haven’t plugged my phone in to transfer USB data in 8 years. Literally everything is streamed. But, I’m glad you’re excited about your USB speeds.

As for storage size, I’m on the 128GB, but I use half that because again, everything is streamed and in the cloud. Photos automatically get backed up to the cloud and offloaded. I don’t even think about it. But, I’m glad you’re excited about popping and swapping SD cards and manually transferring data to your hard drive. Seems tedious.

This is the issue with Android users for me — you’re all computing like it’s 1998 still. These factors you’re comparing are irrelevant to 99% of phone users.

3.5mm jack? Who uses wired headphones anymore?

Now let’s talk about what the Android can’t do that random iPhone phone can. Does it send messages via satellite? Looks like no. Does it call 911 when you are in a car accident? Nope. Does it have built in generative AI that connects all the context of your calendar, mail, messages, photos, etc to intelligently help you organize your life? Nope.

The iPhone does though. Because Apple knows those features matter more to the lives of their users in 2024.

But, tell me more about your USB port and SD cards. Who is computing in the past again?

We can have a policy based debate when the Republicans nominate a non-fascist candidate. Until then it doesn’t really matter.

Doctors should also not receive incentives to prescribe certain drugs

Why?
