Technically my shit is edible, technically.

Life is unfair, but unless we acknowledge our own failings it will never get better.

You want to walk through life blaming everyone else for everything that goes wrong in your life and take no responsibility for your own actions? Feel free. But just know nothing will ever get better for you.

I even acknowledge, multiple times, that it is not solely the fault of the person. But that does not mean they have no will of their own, no ability to change their circumstances. Sometimes that freedom is not enough, but unless you do something to take charge of your own life, again, nothing will ever change.

Failure often comes at multiple points, it doesn’t just fail at one. It’s a failure of education, of social pressures, of lack of positive environments, and yes of choice. The problem with free will is that you have the chance to choose wrong. You can blame everyone in the world, but if you don’t take accountability for your own actions and choices, nothing will change.

There has never been a time with as much access to information as now. While there as much, likely more, misinformation… that does not mean individuals have no culpability for their own lack of knowledge or understanding.

That doesn’t mean it’s exclusively their fault, or even anywhere near a majority. But that does not mean they lose all free will for their own actions. It does not mean they have no ability to be better.

Should we place the weight of the world on their shoulders? Absolutely not, that is liable to break them. But we also shouldn’t hide them from the burden of their own free will. That only weakens them.

The odds are 1000:0 that they won’t, and I still wouldn’t take that bet.

So we should make one with human intelligence, you’re saying?

Okay, but hear me out, what if we make one that isn’t dumb?

Yeah, but what about my hourly latte and avocado toast?

And if you get rid of the board, the shareholders will appointment a new one. If you somehow get rid of all the shareholders, like-minded people will slot themselves into those positions.

The problems are systemic, not individual.

I was looking up bike lanes in a city I was thinking of buying a house in and the map had property lines on it, with the registered owners names plastered in every space.

Master Chief Collection came out in late 2014.

What if he’s just throwing shade at Apple’s own AI division?

Now throw in average incomes on the low, medium, and high ends and see if that makes any difference in your criticism of people not wanting to spend so much on a game they might get a hundred or so hours out of.

Hell, throw in the average housing costs and costs of consumables while we’re at it.

employees calling out

Why would the employee have to look up a publicly listed number to call their employers to call out? That’s something a private line could easily take care of.

Why even have a phone number if it is useless?

Really? Are reservations the only use for a phone?

A publicly shared phone number for the restaurant? Pretty much. It has limited uses for checking hours and holidays and such, but the primary use is going to be checking availability to eat at the restaurant. If that’s not something you can get over the phone, 99% of the reason to have a public facing phone number is negated.

Your track record of not hating people for their opinions is muddy at best.

Being bought, or being sold? There’s a difference. If they’re not being bought at those numbers, they’ll still show up the most.

They also said “starting”, which implies that’s what it’s being sold at, not what you see the most listings for.

At least two.

I imagine the implication is that no cryptocurrency stuff is inserted in the spot that google once occupied.

They’re conflating tech with tech bros.

Tech can and does make lots of things that make our lives longer and better. Just not most of the consumer level shit that is constantly peddled by snake oil sellers. That tech is not meant to make your lives easier, it’s meant to get more money out of you without giving it up to the little people at service level.

The problem isn’t the tech, it’s the people who are controlling the tech.

Yeah, but most cries (including this article) aren’t “We want both” but “We want small instead”. The article goes out of its way to ridicule “huge” phones.

The battle cry seems to be demanding it their way instead of variety.
