I think they mean on mobile as opposed to PC. I can’t find any option besides the dashboard-style homepage offered by default. I can customize it, but I can’t make it a specific URL.

Doesn’t it matter though? Isn’t delivering the promised product the correct reparations for failing to deliver a product? Pretty sure it was easy to get a refund back then, too.

My coworkers were unimpressed and made fun of the exaggerated packaging. I will not even try it.

It was banned briefly, but it’s allowed again since there’s nothing dangerous about it.

There’s lots of bad pacing and horrible acting in movies today though. You can obviously watch or not watch whatever, but I think you’re limiting yourself unnecessarily if you put too much weight on the year of release.

None of that makes any sense. An old book and a new book aren’t different in the way a rotary phone and a smartphone are. They are functionally the same object: text on paper.

You could have, for example, a story about someone stranded on an island, and the era it was written in would make almost no difference at all because technology doesn’t have any bearing on the story, and we haven’t changed as a species. The culture of the author would influence things, but that’s true even of media today since we don’t all share the same culture.

Old media can also be very illuminating when it does affect the story because it can teach you something about the era in which it was made. You might think to yourself, “Gosh, people used to be able to feed and house their families on a single paycheck? Why can’t we do that today?”

And yeah, having stuff in black and white is less visually interesting, but I’m not going to rule out something I might find enjoyable just because of that. I watched quite a few old sitcoms in my childhood that I enjoyed just as much as the modern cartoons, and I still enjoy some of those cartoons today alongside modern TV.

Do you think the Home Alone sequels are better than the original?

How is it dystopian?

I’ve never been interested in RDR2 because I’m not into the western aesthetic, but I am absolutely into the aesthetic of being a time traveler or alien or wizard using my powers to help farmers and explode bad guys in an otherwise western setting. If I had any money, I would pay someone to make this.

Moby Dick is good in a way where I don’t care about any of the characters or the story, but I could read Melville describe water or argue that dolphins are fish for the rest of my life, just because of how beautifully he does it.

I don’t understand that at all. What about being old makes something boring by default?

Once codified into law, would the recent executive order not invalidate the legal identification of everyone who doesn’t have their sex assigned at birth listed?

A [State] department webpage that described how people could change their gender marker was taken offline, and Chase Strangio, an ACLU lawyer, said it’s unlikely that any new application to change the gender marker on a passport will be approved.

I don’t think media coverage is a very reliable gauge of truth in a society where the media is controlled by oligarchs. On top of everything that that’s been going on, a journalist just got fired for calling Elon Musk a Nazi.

It’s also pretty common for marginalized people to relate their problems secondhand because victims don’t always want the public eye on them. Yes, victims should go to the authorities, but it’s often easier said than done even when the authorities aren’t well-known for dismissing victims and/or furthering their abuse.

e: To clarify, I don’t think it’s true that what the official said is policy; I think that person is probably lying. What I mean is that the incident itself is very plausible, and I have a policy of believing victims if there isn’t a good reason not to, especially where it may protect others.

You might look up synthetic vs analytic languages and see if that doesn’t shed some light for you. I think most people who don’t natively speak very synthetic languages have a hard time with it in second languages.

This question made me realize that I could become an expert in anything I wanted at any time; there is nothing stopping me. I guess I’m just not interested.

Survivalist knowledge would be practical in emergency situations. You’d get things like first aid, nutrition, self-defense… Seems pretty broadly applicable.

e: Thought of something. I want to be an expert assassin. Really top grade action movie shit so I can kill whoever I want while maintaining safety, secrecy, and connections.

I can’t actually imagine what proof of this situation would look like.

I’ve never been good at reading stuff like this, so it’s more than plausible I’m just missing it, but I can’t find where the resolution would give anyone the legal power or moral authority to invade another state.
