Because we're human, and that's a human-made tool. It's made to fit us and our needs, not the other way around. And in case you've missed the last decade, it actually does it rather well.

With how the day is going, might need to mix it up with a red one...

Because that's the normal way in which humans communicate.

But for Google more specifically, that sort of keyword prompts is how you searched stuff in the '00s... Nowadays the search prompt actually understands natural language, and even has features like "people also ask" that are related to this.

All in all, do whatever works for you, it's just that asking questions isn't bad.

This would be a matter for the Securities and Exchange Commission to come crashing down on them. This kind of statement is designed to manipulate the market, and in a normal world, would be heavily punished.

Which is why they're killing it.

That article you linked literally starts with

We apologize in advance for the nightmarish qualities inherent to the pacu fish

No. Nope. No way. Uh uh. I'm not scrolling down. NEVER. You hear me? I have enough nightmares as it is...

There's got to be a git repository out there that has a smoking gun in its history...

I sit down, because I'm the one who has to clean it.

Yeah the grocery is a 10 min walk, but I can't haul a week's worth of supplies for my household by foot in one trip, and I really don't have the time to go every day, so yeah a the car comes in handy for that once a week haul.

I mean, whatever works for you and for your relationship.

I'm sure some relationships are like you described, and that does seem asphyxiating, but there's a middle ground where one can trust a partner with shared finances knowing that they are responsible and that big ticket items are discussed and agreed between the two.

As for secrets, it depends. If it is something that relates directly to my partner and affects them, I will tell them always. Otherwise, no. There's no expectation from them that I'll share every last secret about everyone they know, or vice versa.

Do I need to change my name to name-name-3digits to join your trollfarm?

Prisons are always paid for by taxes. The difference is that in America someone is profiting from that...

I love how its head is like 100% static while the neck and body wobble about.

Lucky bastard.

I heard so much Bon Jovi, my teeth are rotten.

Damn, I felt my heart thaw a bit. Gotta be more careful around this neck of the interwoods.

Single use is outright banned in many palces.

Which I kinda don't mind, because several times in recent years I ended up with groceries all over the parking lot because of how flimsy they were made. Now you have to pay for them, but at least they're sturdy.

Cool story bro.

I do this frequently. In many places the cashier has to print it, so instead if handing it over to me they just throw it in the trash...

You're utterly delusional. If this system has done anything is to stiffle small, independent producers and consolidate power in megacorporations.

This is the kind of crap you're defending: https://patents.justia.com/patent/12268585

This is a random, recent patent from P&G. Read that bullshit, and then tell if if what they're describing isn't the most generic design for a diaper or sanitary napkin ever?

"One permeable layer facing the wearer, then a semipermeable layer that tries to only allow liquid to move away from the wearer, then an absorbing layer, then an outer impermeable layer"

Oh boy, if it wasn't for that patent, I'd be pumping 500 million dollars into building a factory so I can flood the market with my cheap fake products! - said nobody when they read that.

It's hilarious how far removed from reality your ideal of patents is...

it costs millions of dollars to get a manufacturing process up and running and in a good enough state to where it can actually work out financially. Without patents, your competitor can just take all of that work and investment and just copy it with the benefit of doing it right the first time, so they're able to undercut you on cost.

This argument makes no sense. Manufacturing lines are built all that time for unpatented products, plus a competitor can't just "take all of that work and investment", they will need to put in money to create their own product, even if it's a copy they still need to make it work, as well as build their own production capacity.

They'll be second to market, and presumably need to undercut price to get market share... This is a very risky endeavour, unless the profit margins are huge, and in which case, good thing that there's no patents...

If the research is so costly and complex (pharmaceutical, aeronautical,...), then it should be at least partly funded by the government, through partnerships between universities and companies.

Patents are not a solution.

In what world is assembly more readable or easier to understand?
