To be fair to OP, they really should’ve stopped advertising this as a feature years ago. It’d be like if sliced bread was still advertised as “Now sliced for your convenience!” or whatever.

but why?

Oof thats a big oof. Can’t say I’ll that will stop me from buying the expansion though. If I boycotted every product made by problematic people I’d probably have to live like a monk.

At least compared to Signal

Please enlighten me

I just took a look and it seems fine. Way easier to access messages which is the main reason I use discord on my phone. I thought the UI was shit to begin with so it’s hard for them to do worse.

I suggest you do more research, it’s far from asinine. It may seem very strange to someone who has lived their entire life in a car centric city but these ideas have been applied in many cities successfully. The results are a healthier and happier populace.

Ah yes, there’s nothing more organic than demolishing black neighborhoods to build highways.

Bruh my family would make costco trips and absolutely pack the car with groceries, I’m talking trunk full to the ceiling. That shit takes 5 minutes tops to unload with everyone helping. You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. If raising a family without a car is so difficult then why can so many people manage it fine in other countries?

Strong Towns baybeeeee. As far as I know they recommend starting from the town center and working outwards.

You can’t fix a suburb without demolishing it but you can revitalize areas that we’re built pre-cars. Allow mixed use development in the town center with bike lanes and public transportation. Remove parking minimums and other unnecessary barriers to development. These types of development bring in much more higher revenue which can then be reinvested into further changes.

Iterative change is possible, don’t give up!

How many people live a 5 minute walk from a grocery store?

That’s part of what we want to change. I live a 3 min walk from the grocery store and it’s fucking glorious. Better designed cities are better for everyone.

A perfect self-driving car is still way worse than a robust public transportation system. People are starting to catch on to the fact that cars are pretty fucking annoying/dangerous and hoping on a train/bus is less stressful. By the time self-driving is completely ready a significant portion of people are not going to want them.

Yeah I’m mega anti-car and not at all optimistic about self-driving but this article says very little of substance.

Rogue One sucks.

Fuck epic.

Well, I still don’t entirely understand what specifically about the episode makes it transphobic but I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

This is a weird grey area for me. I see it as a silly episode where bender does some reprehensible shit, sort of learns his lesson but than continues being a shitty person. I don’t remember anything about the episode that makes it stand out from other episodes where he similarly exploits some facet of society (foster kids, soup kitchen, pimp are a few that come to mind). However, given my perspective it’s very likely I’ve overlooked aspects of it and I am not trying to defend the episode just understand what I’m missing.

Again, I’m sorry if I’m being rude or this is not the place to discuss something like this. Feel free to ignore me or tell me to go away.

Pardon me if it’s rude to ask but do you mind explaining why those episodes are transphobic? Specifically the Bender gender swaps, I don’t remember the other examples you mentioned.

Yeah I know, but I wanna see that uploaded counter go up and it never does. Also I mostly torrent audiobooks and I don’t have much hd space

How is any of this information valuable to them if I block all ads?

Parroting the angry me Yorker whose name I forgot. If you use an ad blocker your likely privacy aware and they don’t get much/any meta data from you.

Also YouTube is extremely costly to run. They are making it abundantly clear you are not valuable to them if you aren’t watching ads. You aren’t that important.

I tried using sunshine/moonlight to stream hockey from my PC to my tv and the stream was black (until I disabled hardware acceleration). Legit blew my fucking mind. I was 30% impressed and 70% angry. Once again paying customers are the ones with the shitty UX.

I’m sure the average person doesn’t give a fuck but I am slowly but surely being driven away from any and all paid content. I can’t watch 40 dudes skate around in circles without being fucking bombarded with gambling ads from every fucking possible avenue. Because millions isn’t enough they need more millions.

I’m getting so fucking jaded.
