I will never understand wireless headphones as a concept. They seem objectively worse in every way.

Lower sound quality, more battery intensive, have to be charged, less comfortable, easier to drop and way easier to lose. Also, makes you look like you’re talking to yourself all the time

What

I have literally never turned it on

It wastes battery and offers literally no benefit whatsoever

So, maybe a weird question, but what are you doing with your phone exactly that you need to turn on Bluetooth on a daily basis?

Plagiarism is a bad thing

Including plagiarising the dictionary

Healthy optimism

Protests are very good at causing civil unrest, damaging public property, making other peoples days worse, and swaying their view further away from your cause

If any of those are your goal, they can be quite effective

To increase humanities control over its environment. The form that takes is a secondary concern

Let’s be real here, it’s the second one

For all intents and purposes it was free word

I haven’t really used word in over half a decade since TeX beats it in every conceivable way.

Wordpad was useful in the sparse few cases where I was forced to open a .doc or .docx and couldn’t be arsed to upload the file to Google docs

I guess it will be missed for that

I love the irony that people nuke your comment

Yup, calling bs on the article, since a pc is both cheaper and easier than a phone. Besides, if you know how to navigate a window and type into a textbox (both required for YouTube) you know how to write a digital form

This article is made up drama

You mean like how you fully purchased a premium account?

I wonder why there are no laws against eforced, unilateral contract adjustments like this. Especially considering “no ads” was an explicit part of the original purchase

You’re right that I inverted it numerically

Though, that’s a communication thing. White people are a minority worldwide but never referred to as such. I used the standard way to refer to the different races even though that is statistically incorrect in the hope of it being more directly obvious what I meant

He means Apartheid

That one went so far that south Africa is the only country to voluntarily unilateraly give up its nuclear arsenal when a minority risked getting to power

God I hate untagged YouTube links. You think you’re clicking on an image or an article, but nope! And now YouTube thinks you watched a random video and your recommendations get infected with garbage outside of your normally watched channels

I feel the opposite. Still all but one opinion gets drowned out. It’s just that now the opinion that survives is the one that screams the loudest rather than the mainstream one

I would consider that a downside tbh

I’d like to add Xcom: enemy within to this list

Maybe I missed some points by skimming, but the arguments made in that article are that:

• 1 Australian researcher agrees with his stance

• a region had 22% of its power produced by wind at one point

I guess the claim “it can be argued” is technically proven true, but the majority opinion I keep hearing from the electrical grid engineers in the news is the opposite

And, well, sometimes it just simply is night, and sometimes the wind doesn’t blow. We don’t have the battery tech to run from storage alone

But, honestly why wouldn’t we use nuclear? It’s the one power source we have without any real downsides untill ITER finally brings positive results

Do yourself a favour and try to keep it below 10 at an absolute maximum. Preferably below 3
