I guess really the only time you reallly might need to handle your phone is to change the songs playing on it with Spotify, etc....

Sounds like you understand my point

If you only stop people from pissing in the shallow end, they're only going to relieve their bladders in the deep end, and in the end, you have just as much urine in the pool. You either need to control the entire pool (global) or you need to make it very expensive to swim for people who piss in the pool at all.

Unless it's done at a global level or enforced carbon emission based tariffs, a market solution is only going to move the problem outside of California.

The difference is that tech companies used to feel like they had to at least maintain a polite fiction that they were ethical and in some way serving a greater good.

I don't get it...I would think most anyone in the US would consider supporting our warfighters would be "serving the greater good"....

When exactly did being patriotic become a negative thing...?

I own a tiny indie studio in Chicagoland and my peers own the some of the huge studios in Chicagoland.

Cinespace is dead right now. It has ONE show active. The other studios are so dead that they're secretly hosting bar mitzvahs and pickleball tournaments for $1500 a day just to pay property taxes.

My studio is surprisingly busy but I'm cheap and cater to non-union folks with otherwise full time jobs.

Aggressive driving belongs on the track, and once FSD cars are being made en masse, human driving should be banned on public roads. That will save literally millions of lives

You know, I'd rather spend my limited time on this planet enjoying life....I'll accept the risk.

JFC....when did we as a society get so risk adverse???

I'm glad I grew up when I did.before the pussy-fication of the US.

One nice thing about having a manual transmission car in the US is that they're pretty much dead safe against being stolen.

Car thieves here don't know how to drive manual...and leave them alone.

Isn't the 6th speed in a 6-speed gearbox the reverse?

That would be a big no there my friend...

6 forward gears, plus 1 reverse.

"The 2024â"25 North American winter was considerably colder then the previous winter season, and much more wintry across the North American continent, signified by several rounds of bitterly cold temperatures occurring."

Hell, we had 12" + of fucking SNOW this past year in the greater New Orleans area....unprecedented !!!

It was fun to play in...put the whole area basically into a stand still for 3+ days....till we melted enough to get around again.

Too bad they replaced all those writers in the diversity purges.

What ignorance....we have no such thing as MP in the US.

This being a US centric site, posters from foreign places should not assume we know what local term/Slang are...

Funny....i don't see a mass exodus out of the US now or even brewing.... Still seems to be MORE people wanting to come here than ever....

It's also entirely possible that we may never again have a POTUS from the Republican Party, so enjoy it while it lasts.

I dunno....the dems seem to have no clue why they lost nor ability to fix it....and no one yet is appearing that could be a leader there=....

I could easily see Vance as next president...possibly bringing on someone like Byron Donalds...

If nothing else, Trump's term is actually useful for keeping the Democrats from promoting an ever increasing amount of stupid ideas. It demonstrates that, every so often, The People will say "We have had enough of your stupid bullshit. Knock it off!"

The whole tranny revolution is just one example of "enough is enough. Men can't get pregnant, stop telling us they can."

Honestly, the current popular Dems, and the talking heads...ALL seem to be clinging on for dear life for the stupid shit you alluded too and still actively try to silence or cancel anyone that dares speak common sense like you mentioned here.

Recent stories about them spending something like $20B was it, to study the "syntax" of how men speak and listen?!?! Seriously, it's not HOW you say something that caused them to lose men...it's WHAT you've been saying to men for years now that's driven them away.

As bad as you want to say the current administration is...the current party out of power isn't doing much of anything to address the cause of their losses....at all.

Funny...no one was complaining about this shit 20+ years ago...and cars were worse back then.

Everyone's just gotten whinier and needs to bitch about something....geez.
