Defund the police

Hard pass. The gender duality thing and the taint on Saidin is the book series’ central conceit. If that part of the series bothers you, don’t adapt the series. You don’t have to like a creator’s vision, but you don’t have the right to change the core concepts to “fix it” and still call it the same thing. Do something…

I’ll take one with the turbo please

China is quickly becoming what all of us olds imagined Japan would become in our 80s/90s cyberpunk dreams / nightmares. Pretty exciting, actually, even if the pissing match between China and the US will probably cause World War III sometime this century.

Great idea, and something that’s been a feature in Chinese user-generated media platforms for years. But what TikTok really needs to do is fix its terribly unfair ad revenue share system before YouTube or someone else comes along with a better mousetrap. Hank Green did a (admittedly anecdotal) comparison between his…

Hyper targeted advertising is both the vector through which conspiracy theories and hyper-partisan hate mongering proliferate, AND the drug which keeps the platforms from more aggressively moderating their users. It can’t go away fast enough, and I applaud Apple for taking the lead on this no matter how self-serving…

Not saying Carvana is the answer but fuck dealerships

As a comedian in America, he has the RIGHT to say whatever he wants, no matter how offensive.

God I hope they keep the shape of the Airpod 3's the same as the Airpod 1/2. The Airpod Pros hurt my ear canal no matter what I try (multiple tip sizes, third party options, etc.) while the Airpod 2 is comfortable, if a little loose (like always). If they move everything to the Airpod Pro style, I might have to search…

I agree with her specific point, but I find it rich coming from someone who has a long history of belittling other races for “humor”. 

I “love” how the Jalops have been clamoring for a smaller, honest truck like this, Ford releases probably the best possible modern interpretation of this at <$20K (!!!!) in hybrid form no less, Torch gives it a ringing endorsement, and all anyone can do is bitch about little missing amenities, whine about the short…

The ultimate vehicle for MAGA militia types to “go off the grid”

Totally agree on USB-C. I always hated the proprietary plugs on most laptops, particularly Microsoft’s weird ass magnetic dongles. I finally got an Anker GaN II 65w charger with two USB-C plugs, and now I can fully power my Surface Laptop AND iPad Pro 12.9 at the same time (40w on former, 25w on latter). Game changer…

Maybe these other devs should mind their own houses? Seems highly presumptuous and preemptive to discuss the potential for crunch and poor quality dialogue on someone else’s project, based on one quote, for a game that’s more than a year away from release.

Personally raised evangelical conservative Republican, shifted to center left atheist Democrat in middle age. And I agree the demonization of all right/center-right people need to stop, and entertainers should be allowed to believe what they believe.

That’s like a reference list for possible mobster names

Silbermann and Sciarra sound like jerks, the idea of two men stealing a good women-focused business idea from a female friend is not farfetched, and I’m not trying to victim blame per se. But come on - how can you not even have something scrawled on a restaurant napkin??? And why did she wait until now to file the…

Good. NYC will always be loud, and over-surveillance is problematic, but sounds really amplify in the concrete jungle and I’ve been half-deafened one too many times by asshats with weapons-grade exhausts and dudes with car speakers fit for Hotblack Desiato and Disaster Area.

Ding ding ding. I bought a 2018 Golf for $15k brand new in Bethesda MD (had sat on lot for 6 months, negotiated the hell out of it). Loved that thing. Fast enough, roomy enough, good handling, comfortable interior, big enough to take my little family of 3 almost everywhere but ridiculously easy to park in tight DC…

Well, at least we know the Blue Origin rocket follows an Abrahamic religion.
