If automated phone menus and AI phone support are garbage, it doesn't bode well for written text bots or other support.

This.

Remember when Kansas banned the teaching of evolution in public schools? Medical schools and biology companies treated all applicants from Kansas with deep suspicion for years. That was just one state. Imagine what will happen when all the Red states do the same. It will be havoc.

A cult is by definition centered around a charismatic leader or a specific ideology. The term can also refer to intense devotion to a person, idea, or object. Who are "anti-Trump" devoted to?

Your tu quoique fallacy falls apart under even basic scrutiny.

And yet the way he went about doing it is idiotic. Canada passed laws allowing cashiers to round to the nearest 5 cents. Trump didn't do that, instead he just stopped production, meaning you will have customers screaming at cashiers for their money and claiming theyre being robbed. (Any cashier will tell you they meet these people.) And he did it without Congress, meaning it can be reversed by the next president.

Putting data standards aside, USB-C is pretty good at charging. I'm not familiar with these edge cases the author describes where charging doesn't always work with thunderbolt cables (which are a minority of cables sold).

This is not really a "battle of the plugs" like the author claims. We all use USB-C for charging and data and it's generally reverse compatible.

Putting Palestinians in Bantustans doesn't absolve Israel of apartheid. They still have literal laws that take away rights of Palestinians even with Israeli citizenship.

Apple Music is available as an android app and as a cloud streaming service from a website.

Google pays a lot of money to be set as the default search engine. That's the limit. Apple doesn't give them access to location data without a popup authorization screen.

Personally I switched my search to DuckDuckGo in settings. But should Apple make that the default for everyone? The reality is google does have better quality results. Should they sacrifice quality for privacy, or give people the choice?

Citation?

"In most cases Ackman's wife put the author's name and publication date immediately after the material which she used — but did not put quotation marks around it."

Am I supposed to be outraged?

What ignorant baloney. Majority of the world's Muslims live in democracies. And Muslim-majority countries have a lower homicide rate than Christian-majority ones.

Take your ignorant bigotry elsewhere.

If you bothered to read your own link you'd see that it was in response to earlier violence. The cycle of back and forth violence has been going on well over a century, each new round provoked by the last one.

Please don't make me defend Obama. The Nobel Committee laid out the reasons that they voted to give Obama the award. In 2009, Obama began drawing down troops from Iraq, and also gave a well-regarded speech in Cairo to the Muslim world, promising a reset after the Iraq war and mutual respect. He also not only gave a speech at the UN calling for a world completely free of nuclear weapons but he started organizing UN security council meetings to try and get unanimous agreement to reduce the world nuclear weapon stockpiles. These reasons were why the Nobel committee said he deserved it; citing their original founding criteria to determine a person or entity who promoted peace and reduced armies.

Of course he later increased troops in Afghanistan and stepped up drone attacks.

A new movie that instantly jumped into my top 5 favorite movies.

That was my favorite episode of the series! I guess we have different tastes.
