Comment Re:Mine's mild (Score 1) 50

This here. I have dealt with it since my early teens and generally I can tune it out most days unless I suddenly see the word tinnitus and then it becomes impossible to ignore for a while. It has gotten worse over the years, but in general I find it is easiest to tune out when I am not thinking about it at all.

Comment Re:"Monopoly" doesn't mean what they think it mean (Score 5, Informative) 51

I don't know about Amazon's app, but I do know this is the reason I can no longer order ebooks through Kindle or Nook easily, because neither platform can support the google system and afford the cut (the authors already get only a percentage after B&N and Amazon take their share). I can't order music on Bandcamp either. So lots of platforms I used to be able to order through stopped working when Google enforced its draconian requirements in the name of a slice of the profit.

Comment So out of touch or too old? (Score 1) 59

I don't know if the fact that I have never heard of this phrase before means I am too old or just out of touch and not visiting all the sites where this phrase is apparently used. I have an 11 year old kid and am suspicious at the fact that he's never used this phrase before, either, and he's really quick to pickup generational slang.

Comment Re:"de-escalation tactics" (Score 1) 129

A guy who walks by seven people, is polite to twenty two people, and works with 5 co-workers who think he's alright, then goes out at 2 AM and rapes and murders a woman is still a killer, right? You could post 500 proper de-escalation videos for every 1 video where it rapidly escalates and a person is needlessly killed, and the point is not "but look at these 500 videos," it is "What went wrong here, and how do you do better?"
