I love those videos where people are caught trying to have a private conversation by someone who speaks an unexpected language! Also it’s shocking to me how many people loudly speak common dialects of Chinese and don’t expect anyone to follow… literally over a billion humans can understand Mandarin, someone is listening.
We have some resources to recycle plastic bags and film here in Seattle, but it’s sta hassle to collect and take to a participating facility, and how much of it gets thrown away?
We were supposed to have a plastic bag ban, but what really happened is all the stores just switched to “reusable” plastic bags which are the same design as before but now they’re like 5mil thick. So now instead of free thin bags that I line the bathroom trash can with, I pay 5 cents for a thick one (whether I want it or not in many cases) and there are probably a lot of thick “reusable” bags just getting thrown away, or in the bushes.
The worst offenders are the ones who make their mobile site impossible to use so you will download the app. Unmovable banners, incorrectly sized floating menus, and features unnecessarily locked out unless you switch to Desktop mode or use the app. Guess what, I’m definitely not installing it now!
I am willing to accept the absolute worst of humanity on the internet, because we can also have so many amazing things that weren’t previously possible.
Accessibility of information to the masses is incredibly important. Isolated populations can learn about the bigger world, get help, and share their experiences. Friends and families can stay connected. People can work together from anywhere, and create value as a team in ways that weren’t previously possible. When I was a kid it was just a dream, and now we are living it.
Maybe I’m a curmudgeon, but I hate using “apps” on my desktop machine. They’re always designed to be friendly for touch interface and smaller screen size, and are terrible to use on my 30" monitor with a 1/8" cursor. I just want my menu bar, toolbar on the left, and status on the bottom, please and thank you.
He really likes to acquire things and then turn them into (e)Xes.
I’m impressed they are all willing to share a litter box! Lucky.
Honestly he looks a bit annoyed, impatient. So I’m gonna guess dinner is late.
“We were throttled because we use too much data. They said this happens when people stream videos a lot.”
Funny you say you would feel more free. I think if I came from money there would have been many expectations of me going to a fancy school and having a successful career. My marriage options would have been guided and I may even have been expected to take over a family business. Basically my life planned out by family with incredible power.
Since I came from a modest lower middle class family, all anybody expected me to do was pay for myself. I’ve pretty much been able to do whatever I wanted as long as they didn’t have to help me make rent. I’ve traveled, tried different kinds of jobs, and even started my own little company on the side.
Why have you not learned to draw or play an instrument? Do you suffer from long work hours or inadequate pay? If so, my apologies, this world isn’t built fairly.
Looks like you have two posts on my feed
It happens to me if I let the page get stale.
That is a great simulator, thanks for the tip!
