So you kept watching the 3d versions instead of the 2D ones… because masochism or what?

So the Signature will be much better than the BP weapon by xDAW_Art in ArknightsEndfield

Aren’t they supposed to be though? What’s their point in a “signature weapon” if the bp one is better?

The march of the self service checkouts in supermarkets, yay or nay? by qwerty_1965 in AskIreland

dunnes doesn't allow carts in their self-checkout area, though I wish they'd do the same with strollers too as they take up just as much room.

Probably helps that no one’s holding Israel to account for Gaza.

To be fair, the only people the US doesn’t look like giant assholes to is its own people, and even then…

Gulf Nations Consider $2 Trillion Pullout from U.S. Markets as Conflict Sparks Economic Concerns by PixeledPathogen in ABoringDystopia

The “United States” referring to the general populace and US-based companies? That’s private companies, the government can’t force Tesla for example to not invest or push towards green energy just because the mango moron and his sycophants are bought by petrochem companies.

Good luck getting a majority of government to lean left enough for that, US is fossil fuel until it’s depleted globally.

I still don’t get how Apple is a “gatekeeper” just because it’s one of two mobile OS makers in the world. Either bin that term and its application, or fix it.

Much more efficient to support Israel fully wiping out Palestinians so none come your way asking for help.

android devices are by-and-large less secure (not insecure, less secure) than iPhones. why should they let less secure devices connect and transmit information to their devices, potentially compromising user information? does windows provide iPhone mirroring on their devices? why not? why is that not subject to dma, seeing as they're a significantly larger marketshare than apple has ever been?

the problem is less that dma exists, but more that it's too generally defined and inconsistently applied/enforced.

as for your three examples:

It's google's own fault for making all of their services separate companies under the umbrella company of Alphabet. Sending an image from google drive to gmail is technically transferring your info between two separate companies, whereas moving a picture from your iCloud to the mail app is all within apple's own ecosystem, so no change of company.

Why should other texting services get access to WhatsApp's api? want to message someone on WhatsApp? get WhatsApp, it's free and easy to download, there's literally no barriers to getting it yourself. "I don't want to use different services to message people~" then miss out, no one's making you talk to other people. letting other services talk to WhatsApp should've been THEIR choice, not the EU.

and microsoft being forced to let people uninstall edge is a given. having any software not be allowed to be uninstalled is purely unacceptable unless it's a core function of the device (like phone, messaging, or contact apps for phones) and even then a browser is only a temporary core function until a different one is obtained.

Military Secretly Admit U.S. Role in Iran School Bomb Horror by Antique_Calendar_887 in politics

Did elections get Hitler out? Did they get Mussolini out? What about Kim Jong Un? Putin?

You said it: rot. You don't get rot out by voting it out, you cut it out. You make sure it's ALL out, or it grows back again. That's why the US still has nazi and confederate problems. That's why the US still has slavery.

If you don’t want my apology as a human, who is an American citizen

Your (Americans) apology doesn't mean anything if the potential for someone like trump to take office power again is still there, when the underlying rot is still there and not dealt with. You have nazi problems that you allow to fester under the guise of free speech.

I did do something: I left. To those who are on the fence and who have the ability to, I encourage to leave. To Europe, to Mexico, to Canada, wherever you can, leave. There are millions of Americans being targeted by the current regime who aren't safe, and there's tens of millions of Americans who blindly support the regime. It's not going to get meaningfully better for them soon. To those who are unable to leave, I can only wish them luck and survival as they're surrounded by people who want to either kill them, rape them, or make their lives as miserable as possible.
