At this point, I think us millenials as an entire generation should agree to just hand the keys directly over to Gen Z. I think it’s probably good policy to do the exact opposite of whatever the boomers have done.

Because literally nobody is suprised by trump as this point. We all know what he is at this point. Biden popped the fascade that has been carefully crafted to keep us all thinking he was doing alright despite being old as fuck.
I totally forgot to include carplay in my long list of things. It’s such a dependable and clutch feature. Good carplay support had way too much influence in my decision of what car I bought.
I dislike this logic. It’s really a black and white / all or nothing approach. Also, I think the photos app is just a microcosm of a bigger consideration. That being which OS do I trust more overall if I trust some of the built I apps more?
I don’t think people will actively choose to vote for Trump over Biden in protest. I agree it isn’t going to be a race for undecided voters but rather trying to convince people to go to the polls and then actually get them to vote for Biden.
If something g doesn’t change, I think we are going to see a huge dip in voter turn out for dems. I’m sure it’ll still be massive but the Delta between Trump turnout and Biden turnout will be historic
There has been a lot of talk now about “what’s the plan for when trump gets reelected if we decide not to vote for Biden?”. And it’s a great question without a good answer. I’ve mentally prepared myself for Trump to win. I know that I’ll likely be one of the people who vote for Biden on election day but I also think we need to have a plan for the people who won’t fall in line.
Conservatives are great at falling in line. Expecting liberals/leftists/etc to fall in line is a recipe for disaster.
If I had to come up with a plan, I’d say that we should start maybe having some room for a “at least vote down ballot” message. Cause if dems significantly sweep the house/senate, maybe some checks and balances could be in place (but I won’t hold my breath). But that motivation could get people show up like how the uncommitted movement in primaries worked for driving turnout.
I’m scared shirtless tho. I’m mentally preparing myself for a second term Trump. One other wildcard in this is that I really don’t know how gen z is gonna act. The world is real bleak for them and I think they might really intentionally decide to be accelerationists instead of being able to be motivated by harm reduction.
DNC ego is why we got Trump in 2016.
Also Trump voters don’t care about their candidate being shitty. It’s a feature not a bug. Biden has people with standards and morals to motivate. Relying on the shittiness of trump is a losing move. Biden was inoffensive in 2020, that no longer the case this time round. This all is how we end up with trump again
So first, I will say that the phrase “stopping me from switching” kind of implies that I’m looking to switch but can’t.
I used to have android between the iPhone 4s and the iPhone X. Back then, there were significant features that I wanted that I couldn’t get from iOS. Tho now there isn’t much that android has that I don’t feel I have access to that is significant .
As for what keeps me around and happy with iPhone is
Over the years, I’ve gone from being a major tech enthusiast to now not wanting to have to futz around when I’m not on the clock. I still like getting tech and adding it to my home, but I don’t get in the weeds anymore. I just want my shit to work. I want my stuff to just work for my family.
I dunno, tweaking and futzing used to be important to me. But now confidence and simplicity matter more to me now
NOT SURE WHO TOOK THE BRUNT OF THAT ONE!
I dunno. I read it after seeing your comment and it suprised by your assessment. Black eyes take forever to heal. They have to see that every day in the mirror for weeks while also trying to deal with the trauma of the attack.
I think it’s great they walked away, but then again, doesn’t seem like the kind of situation where it’s a group of people looking to maim or kill
So I had no context for how big that is and why it’s newsworthy
To put the sheer size of the 8 GW solar farm in perspective, the three largest solar farms in the world by capacity are China’s Ningxia Tenggeli and Golmud Wutumeiren solar farms, with a capacity of 3 MW each, and a 3.5-GW solar farm outside Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital.
Tho still didn’t understand the scale until I looked up a stat on nuclear
Nuclear energy has been powering the U.S. grid for the past 6 decades and produces around 1 gigawatt of power per plant on average.
Then again, I thought, maybe nuclear power might be less productive than I think it is, so looked up a list of biggest power plants in the world
Then I learnt that that nuclear power plant has been out of action since like 2017. It’ll soon(?) be active again but for now the record for biggest nuclear is held by a 7.4 MW power plant in South Korea
In conclusion, my ADHD medications have worn off and I should go to bed
It’s my goto daydream when I’m rawdogging a boring situation
Security by obscurity
jfc what kind of sacrifice do I need to make to what ancient diety to get him to step down?
I think we gotta have a conversation as a society about when the hand over the reins to the kids. I’m in my 30’s and glad life expectancy peaked cause seeing the gerontocracy from this end is horrifying.
Why is racist in qoutes?
The comment section is wild. So many people thinking that the Japanese government is somehow late to the floppy free party. Clearly they have no idea how dire the IT infrastructure situation is for the most critical systems of the world’s major super powers
If you think the US government is floppy free, let alone capable of going floppy free in the next 5 years, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya
I take no shame in the schadenfreude I experienced in hearing this
The conclusions that OP made about that study is quite interesting to me personally cause I experience both sides of it. There are certain content warnings that I take note of and decide if I have the mental energy to consume the content healthily. Sometimes I’m completely fine, sometimes the warning has me on edge till it happens, and sometimes I decide to nope out for now.
Tho with a young teen in my house, it’s helpful to know if an episode of something is going to go into places that will mess with them or if it’s completely age in appropriate. If something has an 18+ rating for an episode but only has profanity and gore as the advisory, I’m fine with my 15 year old watching it. If it’s got nudity, sexual violence, eating disorder etc, then it’s going to be a pass (or at least screened or having a follow up convo).
Considering they share in a lot of the content I’m consuming, and the majority of my time is spent watching internet content rather than produced media. It’s one thing for Netflix to have an age rating and content warnings but I really appreciate warnings on YouTube video since it’s really hard to predict what’s going to come up.
I wonder if there would be significant differences if a wider range of content was included. For example: Books, websites, games, streams, YouTube, movies, series, music, podcasts.
Based on nothing but wild speculation, I think music would be at the bottom of effectiveness and books at the top.
“Just don’t look at it if you don’t like it,” shrugged Simon…
One of Simon’s friends, Jay Cooper, said, “I saw the thing before I knew not to look. If I’d known it was there, I wouldn’t have looked. But then I’d have still known he’d done it, which is the real issue here, if you follow me.
I really like this. Suprisingly salient
