Meeting new roommates for college and I suggested Signal and this was someone's response. I hate Gen Z.
"Bro, do you know what really sucks? Not having best-in-class third-party audited end-to-end encryption so nobody ever finds out about all the shit we're about to get up to. Like, do you even wanna do drugs, bro?"

By your logic, if you're a good person but you spend your disposable income on a form of recreation that inefficiently brings positivity to the world, you deserve to be ridiculed and your suffering is justly celebrated.

They have such a dangerous job ..

Even if it's counted, is it even more dangerous, counted using the same metrics? I have no idea, but it's not far-fetched that it's not, at least if we mean American soldiers. Like, it's way more dangerous to be an Iraqi civilian than an American soldier.

I don't know or care about Vice, but I've noticed that this particular issue, the comparison between Adderall and meth, seriously upsets people.
Is it that hard to believe that a substance can be therapeutic at certain doses AND easily abused at others? I get it, minor differences in chemical structure can lead to drastic differences in effects. But in this case? Doesn't seem all that different. I knew a kid in college whose cocktail of choice for a night out was six 30mg Addys + alcohol—and the biggest difference between that and meth, as far as I can tell, is the part about going out.

I will never forgive them for killing the headphone jack—but I at least understand the business model behind it. Samsung's decision to follow suit likewise makes sense.
As for the other manufacturers who jumped on the bandwagon for no reason other than that they saw the big kids do it—handicapping their devices with what is to many a dealbreaker issue, without offering their own line of wireless earbuds / headphones to capitalize off of—I can feel only pity and disdain.

Serious person here.
Can autocomplete fill in a YouTube URL or Spotify playlist name? Can I browse the list of what's available and filter, drill down, poke around according to my whimsy?
Or if I'm accessing a local file, how do I find that one video of my cat named VID-004326.MP4?
Can I autocomplete the parameters themselves, which are betimes lengthy and unwieldy to type out?
Even if it's possible, and I've mastered every arcane parameter necessary to do it, is it really faster / more convenient than doing it through a GUI?
Maybe there are good answers to the above questions—I don't know and would love to find out—but they and many more like them are surely reasonable and far from meme-worthy, or else I'm missing something huge.

Also they've been paying for stuff with their phones for years and years—on exactly what basis are they a cash society (though there's nothing wrong with that)?

The dirty little secret that could bring down Big Tech
Reply in thread
"Information known for half a century that nevertheless didn't mean jack squat because it couldn't be legally explained in such a way that would convince a layman court to break past precedent; but that we've now reframed into a compelling interpretation that much more obviously meets the standards required for a court to rule something as 'predatory pricing''; thus, any future cases brought are much more likely to succeed."
tldr: We think we've found a way around the technicality VCs have been hiding behind all these years.

Because the points only relate to the post, not you. You can't see your aggregate total from all posts combined, which would otherwise incentivize you to post things that will add to your total "high score".
You still have a minor incentive to post a high scoring comment, but it's only per-comment. If you feel like pleasing the masses, go ahead and play to their wants and needs. You might get a lot of points for it, and it'll feel nice.
But if you wanna tell em how you really feel and put them in their place, you can just not care about your points for that post. It's whatever. There's no danger that your -478 points is going to drag down your total, discouraging you from ever posting something that upsets the status quo.

My first-ever Nvidia card was a 3080Ti. After installation I was genuinely confused and kept clicking around everywhere looking for the real settings panel.
Actually I remember, my older laptop had a MX150 (lol) so I did know all about GeForce Control Panel and Experience—I just thought they were the outdated bargain-basement solution assigned to POS hardware like mine, not worth (understandably) slapping shiny new chrome on.
Subsequently I had automatically assumed without a doubt in my mind that the pandemic card I had paid for in tainted blood would have some uber slick new interface that I couldn't wait to play around with.
Needless to say, my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.
