I was about to call this insane, then I saw it was in K-town and it suddenly made far more sense. It's all dense apartment buildings, most of which have no parking garages. It's like if you dropped Manhattan into the middle of a city where EVERYONE has to own a car. I fully get this battle now.

I’m a white person. I’ve never thought to touch ANYONE’s hair (except my partner, in a romantic, personal way). The idea’s never made sense to me.

You’re right. It was silly of me to write words that people had to actually READ to understand their context. I’ll communicate entirely in GIFs from now on so people can look at the pretty pictures and not have to actually think.

I use Google Pay (they stopped calling it Android Pay a couple years ago now) for exactly this reason. ARCO accepts only debit, but they take NFC payments, so it's the perfect solution.

I’ll help you out. I kind of liked Reloaded and I’ve seen it three times and wouldn’t mind watching it again. I have no desire to ever see Revolutions again. It’s that much worse than the one you considered mediocre.

I enjoyed Reloaded. It’s unquestionably inferior to the first, but has some gorgeous sequences and ideas in it. I’ve seen it at least three times (I’ve seen the original more times than I can count), and I look forward to eventually watching it again.

Please, tell me how “Yes, I realize it’s buried in the price...” could have been communicated any more clearly.

I felt like a “learning reader” while trying to parse that headline. 

Whew, good thing you pointed that out to me. Otherwise I might have indicated that myself in my original comment, or had eight other people ignore the fact that I did and explain it to me as well.

Which again is simply cost of doing business for any other type of item being sold. Best Buy charges me the price on the sticker, regardless of whether their trucks used more fuel this time, or the manufacturer shipped it from Japan. Those costs might be a factor in the final price tag, but generally they’re not as…

...right, like I indicated in the comment. The price is the price at a retail store. Period. The cost of doing business is already figured into that price, not passed along to me separately on the invoice on top of the price.

I indicated that in the original comment. But at least then the price is the price. It’s all absorbed into it, since I’m required to pay it anyway.

I've never understood these freight fees to begin with. Seems so weird to pass along to the consumer. It's one thing if I buy direct and the vehicle is delivered to me or a drop-off point, like online shipping. But if I go to a dealer, which they require me to do, the items has already been shipped. I don't pay Best…

Same advice should apply to your first child too.

Eh, Poe’s Law. If I wanted to impersonate one of these people, I’d do exactly that.

It has some pretty serious history on it, yes, but I’m far more likely to side with you on people being oversensitive to 88 than JAP. 88 is simply a pair of numbers, and any combination of numbers can exist. It’s also, to the best of my knowledge, not a direct slur against people, but a reference to Naziism.

Sure. Sometime after we stop dehumanizing entire ethnic groups.

Noted by several other replies now, yes. It’s still potentially problematic, but it’s not actually the feature the headline describes.

You are correct, the headline is misleading as background data is a specific and different trick. I then skimmed the article as a result and missed the difference. I still think it’s a bad idea, as non-techie users stumble upon these articles, follow the advice, then don’t understand what’s wrong when they never get…

I’ll cop to it: I read the headline, which is deeply wrong, and then skimmed the article to confirm what I thought was going on based on the headline. This feature IS different than the one the headline describes and while I still think it’s a poor idea as it reduces network stability and ensures you get no…
