Alternatively, you could try delivering the groceries by trebuchet from the back of a flatbed truck

Ok now I know you're being facetious, because a ballista would do that job so much better.

And there are just as many, if not more, that are going the other direction in response. Being this reductive is incredibly frustrating.

Abortion bans

Several US states are actually more lenient than most EU member states when it comes to how late you can terminate a pregnancy. Pennsylvania, for example, allows abortions up to the 23rd week. Ohio allows it up to 21 weeks. Germany, on the other hand, only allows them up to 12 weeks. The fact that Texas only allows them up to six weeks highlights just how significant the differences between states really are.

The EU cannot pass regulations unless literally all members agree to them

But they can still pass legislation that affects only their country, much in the same way US states can pass legislation that only affects one state.

Oklahoma is not the entire US and it's idiotic to insist that one of the least populous states represents the entire country.

Oklahoma is not the entire US, thank you very much.

Apple might as well be a fashion company at this point.

Do you want to work in a windowless office for 9-10 hours a day, 5 days a week? I'm not saying we can't shrink the windows down, but having worked in a building with very few windows for way too long, it begins to feel like a jail cell extremely quickly.

God, what I wouldn't give for a standalone VR headset with the Steam Deck's internals...mostly because I just want them to shove a whole bunch of support behind getting VR to work right on Linux.

Phone screens aren't 16:9 anymore though, so they'd probably end up having to cut down a really big phone screen (like 9" or so) or just make it custom.

Spoken like someone who clearly hasn't been practicing. Get gud.

Hey, that's not fair. What if there's a boom in companies that need to know if it's a hot dog or not in the next 10 years?

In my time, I've encountered edge sharp enough to cut the very universe itself.
