Why even type this out?

Do you just like arguing stupid points for fun even when you know yourself that you are wrong?

Have you never seen an automotive touchscreen before?

Even within one model/brand there are a ton of panes, and layouts. And even when you choose one layout, which apps are open changes the location and size of the buttons. Now add into that multiple brands, models, layout, and years… And your comment gets more worthless at every step.

Beyond that. The screen doesn’t use haptic feedback to tell you where your fingers are so that the parts of your brain that evolved to handle that kind of context can use it without your fucking eyes. ‘Oh I touched the round thing, I know there are 4 rectangles next to this’ is a built-in feedback loop that a touchscreen does not provide at this time.

Do you have problems with object permanence in everyday life? or just in your car?

Your lack of knowledge of the world does not indicate the existence of a god. Cut it out.

God isn’t real. This is verbal masturbation.

News report - Date unknown

In the early days of the war the Russian regime made regular threats to use nuclear weaponry, but most experts and lay-people believed that even that brutally sadistic despot would not go the extreme of destroying the earth to achieve his goals.

By 2024 Russia was doing small-scale ecocide in hopes of lending credence to their threats. Looking back, the poisoning of an entire riparian ecosystem connected to the Desna River in what was Ukraine should have been a clear signal of what was to come. But nobody listened and the nuclear weapons flew.

I am not making a joke here. This is where my brain naturally went when reading this. Let’s just hope my invasive thoughts are wrong.

[Edit: I am also not saying to appease this fucking psycho either. This is just a snippet of thought that I felt the urge to share.]

I pay for yt family premium and Netflix but use neither of them on a regular basis.

My nephews grew up with a pretty shitty life. They don’t have a lot of fun things they can do in their situation. I figured the least I could do is give them YouTube music and some access to watch TV and movies on Netflix wherever they happen to be.

It’s the same reason my steam family is chock full of games I’ll never play.

Can we please be friends? I’ll make sure those lovely snacks don’t go to waste. I can bring two grackles, a bluejay, and a couple of raccoons to fill out the party. Oh, and my wife!

City of Heroes has been golden by comparison.

Where do you live that cops deserve respect? Nobody DESERVES respect, least of all due to their shitty job. If you want respect you earn it, and cops have been doing the opposite (in north america) since their inception.

(Almost) All settings if you don’t act like an idiot/creep.

popos tiling works this way as well.

Yes.

CAN. CONFIRM.

Have you never ridden a dirtbike at all?

In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.

You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

I should mention that we also really enjoyed the back streets and small neighbourhoods. They made up for a lot of the disappointment.

I wanted to visit Paris my whole life. Pere Lachaise cemetery, the Eiffel tower, the museums, the food.

When I got there the cemetery was filled with lying grifters trying to sell bullshit stories about the people interred there. The tower was full of pick pockets and scumbags ripping off tourists for thread bracelets. The museums were filled with influencers blocking access to a lot of the displays with their stupid duck lips and tag-along ‘photographers’ with their iphones .

The only thing that lived up to the dream was the food. Oh my the food…

Oh… And the experience of seeing a woman shitting in the seine in broad daylight. That was kind of exciting too…

I love every one of these articles that mention biden by name in the title. The idiots and bots come out of the woodwork and mark themselves as ‘safe to block’.

Keep em coming!

All you are doing here is explaining how mosiacmango is exactly correct that this is a business process failure.
