Sure, but does that also cover accusing someone of inserting their politics into things when they suggest a change? Especially one that has nothing to do with politics at all?

I’m pretty sure they’re working a lot more than 9 to 5

Not just you… I’ve had both clean and explicit versions playing of the same songs coming up randomly and it’s annoying.

I legit want an option to only use the explicit versions, the clean ones never sound good where they clean it up, and sometimes they even use those stupid sound effects that just frankly destroy the song. If the service only has the clean version, I think I’d rather it just not play it at all

You’re talking about inflation. That’s not perpetual growth. It’s completely different.

Profits that rise to keep pace with inflation are not considered growth.

“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell”. It’s also completely unsustainable long term.

So, if I’m making enough money to not get in the way of happiness and my boss said I’m not getting any more raises? Wait, I’ve already been there for several years having hit the top of my pay scale. Why would i care as long as we’re getting our annual COLA to keep pace with inflation?

Businesses do not need to constantly grow to be successful (which, before you get pedantic about the precise wording the person you replied to used, is what they were referring to, not the literal increase in income at any level just to keep pace with inflation)

That’s what i did and with very few issues (especially compared to what i had with Windows) I’ve not regretted it at all

How is your boox, BTW? Would you recommend them?

I’m in the market and they look interesting to me but the price is a bit of a shocker

Fully agree, just an observation about the comparison

Yeah, 6 inches is about the furthest something can be for me to see it with any clarity at all without glasses, regardless of size and resolution, but still often read without them on my phone just to relax my eyes (and also, nothing looks clearer to me than something a few inches from my face with my glasses off)

But i did say “6 inches to a foot” which I’m at least assuming is not that atypical a range that people hold their devices at, but I’m not that great at judging distance overall… At the very least, my point is you’re holding the small device much closer than the bigger screen will be so needs higher PPI to still look as crisp

A PPI of 92, but that screen is going to probably be between 2 and 3 feet from your face, vs the 150 PPI sitting 6 inches to a foot away… Doesn’t mean it isn’t good enough by any means, but it’s certainly not a conclusive comparison

Oh good, the blight on the world that is agile continues to spread

Or see that and think “they’ll have better opportunities going to a better university” when for the most part people don’t really care where you got the degree, just that you did, it’s vaguely relevant, and accredited

If you can do that for a fifth the cost and no outstanding debt, seems foolish to pay what the big unis are commanding

Also, congrats to your kid, that’s a great field to be in right now

Nice, anti homeless and anti disabled all at once (lack of streetside seating makes getting around challenging for mobility limited people)

One beatle at least still does shows… At least, last I heard Paul was still touring, maybe he’s retired by now though

Especially considering how much of today’s culture can draw a direct line to their influence even now

I like them, they were a pretty important foundation for my taste in music. I didn’t really get the hatred of them that seems popular of late, I can’t help but feel like at least some of that is just people following the trend, but it doesn’t change my enjoyment of it.

Does them being popular somehow make them worse? I don’t understand this take… What’s wrong with liking what you like, without regard to what others like, either way?

I dunno, if every time I hear a band it feels like nails on a chalkboard to my very soul, I think saying I hate them is perfectly valid without requiring any actual effort beyond trying to get that music to stop while I can hear them and wanting to discontinue conversation about them

Hate doesn’t have to be any more active than avoidance

Indifference, on the other hand, implies not caring that the music is playing

John Lennon was always my favorite

The more I learn about him… The less I like him…

I know of plenty who are more than happy to talk about that

Not only that, but they sure made it sound like you were buying the house
