You're probably getting suggestions for what she should do different because, at least at a starting point, it could just as easily be something her phone is doing before sending as it is something your phone is doing on the receiving end.

I've had a phone say 'video to big, do you want to crop or share through abc app' before. Don't recall the exact message, but seems more likely than you phone downgrading something it's receiving.

Yeah, guess i meant i doubt Walmart chooses to sell his chocolate based on the chocolate. I mean it could be fine, but unless he's really talented in chocolate making and extremely economical, I'm reasonably sure they're selling a box with the name 'Mr Beast' on it that happens to contain chocolate. If that name ever becomes neutral or negative in driving sales, i would be shocked if they keep it based on quality.

Second job overnights at a gas station... Pretty much any combination of right/left hand, upside down/mirrored, cursive/text, words forward/letters backwards, etc.

Because Democrats want someone who will run the country and Republicans just want someone who will maintain their minority control. We are concerned for the country, they are scared for their very existence and self reflection itself is dangerous for their existence. Basically self reflection is necessary for what Democrats want to do, and it fatal for what Republicans want. So we do it, and Republicans avoid it at all costs. We get a Kamala who we hold to a high standard, they get a Trump who can punch them in the face and they'll still support him because of the party.

It doesn't require suspension of critical thought when you can look around the world and see that nowhere does anyone have high speed rail spanning distances and population densities equivalent to what the US would need to go from, say, New York to LA, it East to West Coast in general. There are plenty of examples similar locally to East or West Coast population centers, but nothing in between. High speed commercial routes? Maybe. High speed commuter rail? It's not even close to being worth the cost: utilization.

Not sure what you are arguing with exactly, theres a huge difference between commercial and commuter 'profitability'. Things that freely allow for commerce like a road can be justified from many different direction where a periodic service only makes sense based on demand. That isn't to say that maintaining an underutilized route with the goal of it becoming utilized based on is availability is always a bad idea, but a road can be built and it's cost can at least roughly be correlated to it's use. If you had to periodically rebuild every road, at roughly the same cost whether it was used or not, they would end up with the same 'profitability' concern, but mostly you have to build all the roads for minimal usability and then spend the most money on the most used roads. Freeways are understood to improve commercial visibility and are funded by taxes for that reason. The entire country benefits by having clear routes for good to move. Commuter rail primarily benefits a local area and is funded heavily by fares and local taxes.

This is a really old message, but if you're still having the same question i could try to answer, but that kind of message is pretty context dependant. For that specific one, it sounds like your program is trying to access something outside your network,, like they have a website they need to access to check for updates or something.

Maybe, but i doubt he's selling at Walmart based on the chocolate quality.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think he's always had a problem trying to break out of his childhood nerd acting personal and just wildly overdoes it.... Kind of like those guys who intentionally deepen their voice and walk with their arms out a little like their biceps are a little too big.... He's even mimiced that in movies before, but then unconsciously goes back to doing effectively the same thing unironically a few seconds later.

You seem to be intentionally misunderstanding which side actually has a plan or policy meant to help anyone other than the rich. Trump doesn't know or care what the policy plans behind 2025 are, but as long as he gets his but in the seat that can keep himself out of jail and make people keep paying attention he'll sign whatever the actual handlers come up with

I think that should be allowed, but then just have like an outright charge on things like water and roads and education. I mean it's already kind of like that for rich people, but let poor and middle class 'opt out' of government provided stuff and just take stuff a la carte....I mean it would probably have to be more expensive for each thing, but overall let people decide what to chip in towards

I think you are stretching the semantics pretty far....the US is primarily rural geographically and urban only in very sparsely spaced cities....where Europe is urban in more condensed areas. The US doesn't make everything 'more inconvenient' for the most part, most things are simple more inconvenient by nature.

On the other hand, within cities themselves, the US does shoot itself in the foot with it's policies and what it subsidizes. Overall, though, most people don't realize how really big the US is, space vs population-wise, compared to Europe or Japan.
