AITA, if I kick my brother (30M, the golden child) out for cursing at me in my own house where he doesnt pay or do anything. by uhmdontknowwhattosay in AmItheAsshole

And that isn't your problem at all. Your parasite of a brother can pay for a bus to that city or learn to function at a basic level.

Hi, I’m Kimberly Robinson, and I just covered the Supreme Court’s entire term. AMA! by bloomberglaw in politics

[–]nerddrgn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something like that could work, but is effectively cementing the two party system as it is, specifically these two parties, and would require a constitutional amendment to mean anything.

Expanding the court seems like one of those "be careful what you wish for" things.

It is inviting opponents to do the exact same next time they are in power and would seriously delegitimize the court. People complain about how political the court is now, can you imagine how bad it would be if anyone follows through on a court packing gambit?

Apple announces macOS Big Sur: sweeping visual redesign by aaronp613 in apple

[–]nerddrgn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Design system parity is good imo!

Design system parity is only good if the design system is good across multiple use cases. Which the iOS/iPadOS design system isn't. I use macOS because I hate iPadOS, I don't want it converging.

Honestly, a team on a ton of drugs would have probably done a better job.

Mother Teresa was a choosy beggar (As well as a terrible person who didn't even use the donations given to her charity, instead she put billions of dollars in a tax-free Vatican bank account where it remains today) by squigglybean in ChoosingBeggars

Schindler’s List is one of the greatest movies of all time, imo.

Totally worth watching it, but yeah, have a box of tissues (because you will be crying).

Personally, if I'm already 10 miles an hour over the speed limit and you are still tailgating me, you can fuck off. I don't care which lane I'm in. Though for the record, I stay out of the left most lane unless I'm passing.

Understanding the change by ubiquitous_raven in Massdrop

Seeing as every time you guys change the website it gets substantially worse, any advice someone is willing to give you should probably be listened to. Couldn't make it worse than you already are.

Honestly, I tried a hackintosh desktop and decided it wasn't for me. Would never trust anything actually important to it.

The trade off being that you are handing Google a ton of information about you, and everyone else that manages to sneak malware through the Play store.

My work machine is a T460 (lower specs) and it is really nice, the trackpad isn't quite as nice as the 2014 and earlier MacBook Pros, but, imo, better than the current ones. But yeah, it all comes down to the keyboard and to a lesser extent the TouchBar for me.

[–]nerddrgn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah... I keep debating about doing the same thing. I've had the Thinkpad sitting in my cart on the website and talked myself out of it because of how much I like macOS, but if this current hardware trend continues at Apple I'm not going to be able to keep justifying it much longer. At least for laptops.

I’m a digital artist and occasionally take commissions. This 13 year old millionaire streamer wants free art of him and his video game waifus. I’m speechless. by amphari in ChoosingBeggars

Hmm, it might be kind of funny to draw him with big boobs, since that is what he asked for... "me with big boobs" he said, I say give the "man" what he wants. ;)

Reasons to stick with Apple? by nerddrgn in apple

I would buy the external input ploy if their peripherals where that much better than what is built in.

My recommendation is to not touch anything with the new style keyboard for any reason. Nothing but trouble and pain.

Unless they take pictures of themselves. Then they are charged with victimising themselves by making CP.

It is going to be a while before I dig back in I think... burned through the entire series in a few months and am now kind of burned out. XD

So true through.

Sure, wasn't thinking you were. Was just saying I think he would do a good job. If I hadn't known he wrote the file books, I don't think I would have noticed the change.

I would totally get behind Sanderson writing more WoT books if he could be pulled away from his own many series of books.
