And they'll be shipping a phone with Graphene OS soon, so we're not tethered to a Pixel device anymore.

Except Google Pay killed personal payments quite a while ago, which was what I used it for to try to get away from PayPal to begin with.

Why should the rest of us give a shit? Why even give them the attention? They're both shitheads who don't care about the regular person.

"But that aside... why is "old Reddit" anything more than a skin / display layer over "new Reddit"?"

I'd say the "new" reddit is the skin, not the old, and it's more than just visual. New reddit gives subreddits and mods more power over what you see and how you can interact. I recently tried at least allow subreddit custom themes on the old reddit interface and a sub has a rule (paraphrased) "no downvoting unless you meet $ArbitraryCriteria" So I turned off the stupid theming crap and then hit the downvote like I should've been able to anyway without any stupid hoops or special rules/privileges. I'll stick with old reddit as long as I can, when it goes away, reddit will probably become even less of a time-sink than I've already reduced it to.

Hey biggaijin, how's that boot tasting, you servile maggot?

They wanted to cash in (no pun intended) on the social media aspect. I had to finally get a Venmo acct and I found the whole thing to be patently stupid. I'm not trying to use my sales/purchases as clout or whatever the fuck they envisioned. I don't want a payment social media account. I just want to be able to send/receive money with minimal fuckery/bullshit.

This was my first thought. This also gives all the manufacturers a heads up to quickly change things to putting it all in separate apps if they aren't now so that if the case does prevail and move on, they can throw their hands up and say "we're not doing anything wrong!"

Lol, "Who cares, we've lost the privacy war already, just relax and spread your butt cheeks and welcome the fucking!" *posts anonymously, supposedly for Internet points*

Get the fuck out of here.

Then links to MSN and not WSJ.

120MB, faster read/write, and backward compatible with standard 1.44MB 3.5" floppies. I still have 1 or 2 of these in the plastic somewhere, and 10+ sealed disks.

I keep seeing articles with pretty obvious glaring grammatical errors like this. What the hell is happening?

"This is a problem men cannot fix"

Yeah, they can. I'm 100% with you in having been seeing how men are become the catch-all scapegoat of all the problems, but I also see that like stereotypes, there's a kernel of truth in the hyperbole. The vast majority of DV cases are perpetrated by men. The vast majority of sex crimes are perpetrated by men. Unfortunately, the "patriarchy" is responsible for why a lot (perhaps even most) men grow up emotionally stunted. Most of us are keenly aware of how we were raised only being allowed to be happy or angry, sad had to be minimized and anything else made you a "sissy" or worse, some of us grow up with decent dads but a lot are not fit to be parents because they had bad parents, etc. etc. It's a long cycle that needs to stop somewhere, and we can't rely on others, esp. our partners, to fix it.

So yeah. We do have avenues to fix our own shit. It does suck, we didn't ask to be born or to get the life we had or have, but like it or not, it's up to us to do something about it.

How is this news? It's been a sad reality since just about forever.

All those "little things" lead to death by a thousand paper cuts. I agree, money doesn't solve everything, but it makes the majority of life a lot easier. Yeah, you could die a million ways every day, but it doesn't change that until we get rid of money and systems based on it, having more (to a point) will always bake things better/easier.

Not hating on Chinese goods, people just want things to be affordable and not complete shit. We're not going to get it from pseudo-domestic brands because "Geld über alles" is the "American way!â"
