I think that's a good policy especially because it doesn't make the bigots feel any better. Fuck 'em. Mutual tolerance is a social contract which they have chosen to violate and are therefore no longer covered by.

I remember hearing something a few years ago about some companies working on better tactile feedback on touch screen buttons, making them more "clicky" and feeling more like real physical buttons. Sounded complicated and I don't think anyone really did anything with it except for Samsung making the home button super clicky on my old Galaxy. I wonder if that will ever resurface, it seemed like a good compromise for folks who wanted real buttons.

And you might want to interact with the product you're bashing before you talk so much shit about it. I own a 4 year old Z Flip I bought secondhand two years ago and I love it. I work in a mechanic shop and this phone has been dropped on concrete many times, had tools dropped on top of it, had chemicals spilled near or on it, been caught in the rain, and besides all that I open and close the fold a couple dozen times a day most every day. I put the cheapest Amazon phone case I could find on it and to date, I have developed a nearly invisible hairline crack in the very center of the fold that you can only even notice when the screen is off, and one tiny crack in the corner of the front screen that doesn't fold. Whole phone is mint otherwise. It's been incredibly durable over the two years I've had it, far above and beyond what I even expected when I bought it. And being able to fold out the screen for reading or watching videos, or gaming, or comfortable texting, is excellent.

Your point is taken in that yes a flat screen phone won't have a folding hinge that will eventually wear out. But my phone has lasted me two years, after being bought used two years after its release, and I expect an easy 3 more before I end up replacing it so long as I don't drop anything too heavy on it. I consider that a fine lifespan for a modern smartphone. I'll probably never go back to a slab phone unless I don't get a choice when the time comes for a new one.

The currently existing design of wind turbines is incredibly stupid anyway, I have no idea how we landed on that design. It's one of the least effective designs possible for it's use case. We should be using spiral turbines.

Every time. But to be fair I was calling it Shitter a long time before the name change.

Literally all he had to do was to shut the fuck up and let his companies make infinite money for him. But no, he's got to have his own personal face in the news. Now here we are, Musk is one of the most hated people on the planet and every single one of his businesses are tanking into the lithosphere.

It would be a lesson on hubris if he was capable of self reflection.

Wow, look at those goalposts go! They sure are moving pretty fast.

Ah, yes. The same cops who are so scared to death for their safety that they'll shoot your dog and flash bang your baby just to be sure. What do they do when they get off work from their terrifying, stressful job? Go work another job where they get to use the risk of violence as a justifiable excuse to beat or shoot bystanders.

Or, hear me out here, we could spend $1.5T over 45 years to house the homeless. That's $33.3 billion dollars each year, every year.

You'll need to talk to your city zoning reps. It's possible, sometimes, but it depends on the location.

You're also going to need a massive starting investment to build apartments, fair warning. You could try and sell the land to a development company but that seems counterproductive to what you're trying to accomplish.

Then you wouldn't be pressured into paying for Prime. A subscription is the gift that keeps giving forever. Amazon probably wouldn't give half a shit if nobody ordered an item ever again as long as everybody keeps paying for Prime.

Wizards are, as a whole, pretty damn stupid in that universe to be fair
