Why are you blaming Google and Samsung and everyone else for a feature that is iOS only? This is Apple-related, Apple-created and Google couldn't change anything about this situation even if they wanted to. Maybe you should reel in your righteous indignation enough to aim it at parties remotely connected to your…

You could legitimately be asked the same question about your question. The commenter’s advice is at least as useful as anything in the article, and some of us appreciated the added information.

I am totally numb to the constant shrieks of “Egads! [social media company / phone manufacturer / search engine] has access to [your breakfast menu / your step count / your weight / your favorite color].

OK, ok, we were fine with Pennsyltucky, Kentuckiana and even Indiucky, but this unholy merger of our fine Commonwealth with Ohio and (you’ve forced me to say it...) Alabama (!?) is just a bridge too far.

Lincoln didn’t just *live* in Kentucky. He was born there as was Jefferson Davis, the the president of the CSA. This fact is historically important as it highlights the stark division of loyalties experienced by border states.

Bah, humbug. Who peed in your Cheerios? Or whatever generic, noncommercial, nonprofit-based, government-funded product you consume for your breakfast.

Did you ever consider that screaming at everyone that they are the problem might mean that you, in fact are the problem? 

Why should anyone have the patience for you if your first sentence is “I don’t have the patience for you”.

It never ceases to amaze me how people who are addicted to victim hood find a way to see everything though the victim hood framing such that someone pointing out something that is uncomfortable to him on his journey to whereever is immediately seen as a grab for the victimhood they feel entitled to. This then…

Do you ever get tired of bearing the weight of society on your back unasked? Do you honestly believe that throughout time the “western world” was built on the backs of brown people? There are systemic racist problems in American society and government, there are racist people to the left and the right, but the current…

Why do you see yourself as some powerful actor and everyone around you as being acted on? Who are you to feel guilty about the supposedly powerful affect your choices make on people you see as less powerful than you. Are there not forces more powerful than you that jostle you around as much as you feel you’ve jostled…

Hosting a circle jerk as we tear down talented women with opinions is very 2020.

Yes, and it’s money well spent. I’m not sure what your shocked reaction is supposed to convey.

This comment is ridiculous. The tone of this article suggests that “white people” everywhere are up in arms about the mermaid casting issue, and your comment implies that those very same “white people” were fine with police murders of unarmed black civilians and the separation of children from their families and…

Oh, neat. So body shaming is in fashion again. I’m no fan of this guy’s band’s music (as far as I know), and it is a bit, um, gauche to go full frontal chest naked at the Superbowl after the travesty that befell Janet Jackson for her crime of, um, absolutely nothing.

Like many people these days, I’ve been at some point in my life, entirely homeless. Also, like many people, I’ve had a smartphone, several, in fact, being that smartphones have now been a “thing” for nearly 2 decades and being that most phone companies will gladly subsidize your hardware to get you to sign a contract.…

I’m pretty sure what made this whole debacle a debacle was that a white guy was involved. Isn’t that the lesson we’re supposed to take from this? In the same way that people have in the past and unfortunately the present have used unflattering caricatures of subgroups of people as aids to lazy writing (I mean, why…

With any Android launcher I’ve used, you can customize the icons either individually per app or for all your apps at once by using one of the myriad icon packs (of varying quality from ugh to magnificent). I could easily make all my icons blue or color code them to my personal liking if I wanted.

And some of those people you claim to speak for may (and in one case I know for a fact *do*) find the punchline funny. Be offended all you want, and I might even step up to call someone out if they continue obnoxious behavior even after you make it clear that it hurts you, whether or not I personally find the behavior…
