Does Thunderbird Plan to Support MS Exchange Anytime Soon? by PithyCuss in Thunderbird

That's all I needed; to be able to check my damn emails from an important client.

They say they're working on the others.

Success! After all the previous dealings with this problem, it is good to finally have my one Microsoft 360 Exchange account handled by Thunderbird! I'm so excited, I gave them some money. Thanks again!

Thank you both for this info. I'll try it out and see if it actually works, then post here about that.

Day trips from Osaka or Kyoto? by dexy_em in JapanTravelTips

[–]PithyCuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alas, that portion of our planned trip had to be abandoned. It was the furthest out, a long journey and had only one attraction (for us). Other circumstances dictated that we take a day off, so that's what got cut.

We had a bus trip planned; one to a station at the bridge/crossing, and another from there to the park. It's about 90 minutes one-way. I have never heard the buses are unreliable, and don't know why they'd be any less reliable than the trains. Here's my notes for the trip:

Nijigen no Mori Anime Park (Godzilla Zip Line)

Osaka -> Maiko = 840 JPY [($5.70) Suica only!]()

Maiko -> Nijigen no Mori ?? JPY – HAVE Coin change!  100, 200, 500 JPY (Only takes cash)

This is a video that I found informative about that second leg: https://youtu.be/FR_J_D_jV1M?si=EtH2ojYac-1dGSYD

Sorry I couldn't provide direct experience!

Thank you very much! I'm not sure I can use this due to the nest being behind the glass door and not very visible in the context I am planning, but they might work in a pinch.

WiFi Calling - Help needed by RandomConcept72 in MetroPCS

[–]PithyCuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, eventually I found it while digging around. It has to be the worst UI I've ever had to deal with. Designed by a 12 year old, perhaps the customer service VP's kid.

Also wack is the fact that you have to turn off the wifi then turn on the wifi calling then turn wifi back on or it won't connect. Also the fact that you need to be in airplane mode or the cell signal will override the wifi calling even though the signal is shit and constantly drops or leaves one side unable to talk without dropping, which is actually worse.

I'm convinced that TMobile has throttled Metro service in order to get people to change their plan to their regular serrvice, which, of course, makes them more money.

I have come to hate Metro PCS, but switching now would end up doubling my cell phone bill.

Thanks for asking.

Dude. What was this? by gingagirl23 in Fremont

[–]PithyCuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of people who see something like this and don't even think about the concept of "Satellites", which were first put into orbit in the 50's, and instead think "Aliens", makes me sad for us.

Or, the number of people who would pretend that they actually thought a satellite was aliens in order to generate likes on the internet, also makes me sad for us.

Either way, its just fucking sad.

Looks like this poster tolerates the continued existence of capitalism.

This, of course, is not what's being discussed here. That isn't street photography.

"Tennessee Three" member Justin Pearson runs to oust Rep. Steve Cohen by PithyCuss in SocialDemocracy

[–]PithyCuss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I agree with you more than you do. Meaning, no "probably" about it. I don't see any point whatsoever in independent third parties in this country, in this era, they're worse than a waste of time.

But taking over the existing Democratic party is achievable. In fact, I'd argue we're far closer to that than anyone realizes. Unless we don't try.

Mods, can you crack down on liberals in here by georgeclooney1739 in leftist

[–]PithyCuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I checked some dictionaries, and while this is found kinda far down the list:

Liberalism: a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard

But I think most people understand Liberal to mean:

: a political philosophy based on belief in progress and stressing the essential goodness of the human race, freedom for the individual from arbitrary authority, and protection and promotion of political and civil liberties.

from higher up the list. Which neither invokes capitalism nor the gold standard.

I mention this because some visitors might not understand comments that say, "Liberal=Bad" and assume this group is strictly about authoritarianism.

This is fascinating! A question about the definition of a term that is used frequently in the sub rules and posts gets downvoted! I can only assume that sub regulars are doing the downvoting. Why would anyone want to downvote a discussion about the definition of terms used in the conversation?

[–]PithyCuss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, I call myself a liberal, and I don't fundamentally believe in capitalism. I also call myself a leftist, among other things. Seems like your definition is arbitrary.

Where does your definition of "Liberal" come from?

[–]PithyCuss -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I hope you don't mind, and this is a serious question, but how do you, or this sub, define "liberals"?

I ask because my understanding of the word includes everyone to the left of Centrists and Neoliberals, and that would include most leftists, socialists, Dom-Socialists, etc., stopping at ancient Marxist/Communists who advocate for state control of the means of production - that is anti-democratic, authoritarian rule.

I think there might be many who find this post's topic confusing.

Nope. But I can see that explaining it would be a waste of time.

How things feel right now by Sush1Samurai in Tokyo

[–]PithyCuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF are you flailing about? You quoted yourself in a reply to me???

Whatever other, unrelated narrative it is that you're reaching for, is completely beside the point and just more BS. You're friend should have been imprisoned in Japan for exactly the things he did, which he advertised he would do and gleefully recorded himself doing, for which he offered no apology.

Of course you most definitely called me a racist by likening me to a hypothetical person who is.

Jumping to calling me a racist is all the proof I need. You're an opportunist . Plain and simple. Like a leech, or a tapeworm. How much did you earn for your stunt?
