Virtually any company big enough to make a worthwhile phone is going to do terrible things. Think a given company is an exception? They won’t be once they get larger.

That being said, the fact that “everybody does it” doesn’t make it okay. The “blue vs green bubble” shit is nonsense that’s totally unnecessary.

I’m glad he took a moment to specify the difference between pessimism and doomism.

I readily admit that I’m a quiet pessimist… but I also hope I’m wrong, and I still think we should do everything possible to combat climate change.

Pretty sure any dairy product and any meat is a non-Kosher combination. I’m not an expert, though.

Well, that makes it a lot easier. Thanks!

Yeah, but to eat Kosher you can’t serve meat and cheese together. If you go to a Kosher deli in New York, for example, if you want cheese on your sandwich they’ll serve you the cheese on a separate plate. You have to put the cheese on yourself.

So, what’s on the burgers isn’t considered “cheese”, or it IS cheese, but served on the side, or McDonald’s just said “fuck it” and serves cheeseburgers that aren’t Kosher. My guess is #1. It isn’t technically “cheese”, but some sort of “processed cheese food” crap. They already do that with their milkshakes, which don’t actually contain any milk.

They probably get away with it because it isn’t really “cheese” as most people define it.

When I started typing, I thought that was a joke, but now I’m genuinely curious.

McDonald’s is gross. This is probably the most severe consequence that the IDF will ever pay.

Meanwhile, some world leaders are absolutely perplexed as to why their citizens aren’t choosing to have children.

My first guess is that it would have been overpriced and deliberately incompatible with existing chargers. No loss.

Well, I’m never going to Wendy’s at lunchtime again

Seriously? “Thanks for letting us escape to your country, now stay the fuck out of our bar.” Major dick move.

Oh, I know. “Almost seems” is doing some heavy lifting in that statement.

$75,000 for ONE child seems almost reasonable. $22,400 is a fucking joke.

I don’t know how much of a reason that is to rule out Kia. I think every large automaker has got to be horrible in one way or another; the only difference is whether we know about it or not.

What kind of fediverse search are you talking about? Provide a link. That would do much, much more than any explanations or testimonials possibly could.

Pretty amazing that they can determine it’s not a threat just by looking at the outside of it.

Because people are dumb. If the machine knows when someone is looking at it, it can stop doing whatever it does to try and get your attention, and put itself in “sales mode”.

Still, you’re right. It seems like an overly complicated and expensive solution. Old-fashioned vending machines did the job just fine.

All I can do is laugh and shake my head. This is insanity.

Each missile is worth around £17m and the last test in 2016 also ended in failure when the missile veered off course.

Maybe they should perform these tests a bit more often.

First, according to the family, the Russian bank where they moved the proceeds from selling their farm and belongings? It immediately froze their assets.

The parents (but not the kids) deserve it. They’re also doing a great job of showing their kids what extremist ideology gets you.
