My first thought was "Huh. If she's buying it, I can totally imagine her saying "Make all the old stuff work again, then we're turning everything PINK AND RHINESTONE STUDDED and starting the party!"" or something.
If all she's going to be doing is stumping for the existing shitshow, I don't see much coming of it.
The problem with twitter is all of the changes Musk made. Advertising can't fix broken design and a lack of qualified personnel.
Now, if she could make the links in my e-mail summaries work again, then we'd be onto something.
I still wouldn't spend a ton of time there, but I'd likely spend juuuust a little bit more than the near-zero amount I spend now.
When you do this as a passenger to get a cheaper fare the airliner will ban you for life.
Wait, are you saying if you buy a ticket from Orlando to Las Vegas and the flight stops for a planned plane change in Atlanta, if you get off in Atlanta because that was your actual destination and DON'T continue on to Vegas you can get in trouble?
So, unless I'm mistaking your meaning that's where I'd flip each bagel half 180 degrees before putting it in the toaster so the inside half faces the "more toasty" side of the toaster's heating elements...unless I'm completely misunderstanding you?
Are you saying that in countries where employers can't just make up reasons to divest themselves of employees without repercussion or paying unemployment that the employees themselves are somehow bound to their employer and can't just walk out?
Unless you're under some contract, I don't see how that would be enforced other than having laws on the books in individual countries about a minimum required notice.
Even if a country DOES have laws on the books stating all employees in all full time jobs must provide x weeks of notice before quitting, if the same country has a bunch more clauses to protect employees from employers than the U.S. currently does I have to imagine there are protections in place for the employees in cases of hostile work environments or whatever.
I can't see a situation where a country that protects employees from the sort of hostile, predatory, dehumanizing behavior we see carried out consistently by U.S. companies wouldn't have continued to take said employees into account while also protecting their country's employers from things like large scale business-wide walkouts or whatnot.
I think it's a combination of all of the reasons you stated AND the sorting algorithm not being the same as some of us are used to on Reddit.
I'm still getting used to finding content I haven't seen when I'm not toggled to "Subscribed".
A way to mark something as "read" and not have it show back up for me unless I've posted in it would be handy, but as with all new paradigms, I'll get used to this one eventually and likely wonder how I ever did things the "old way".
As a personal user, though, the sheer ridiculous amount of variety of the android kernel between different carriers and models on the current version alone is positively insane. It should be a beautiful bonus smorgasbord of consumer choice, but with all of the carriers rolling their own lockdowns, hobblings, and forced includes it's a buyer's nightmare of trying to find a device that doesn't lock out the things you want while also letting you remove the things you DON'T want (preferably without needing adb to do so).
Separate text notification sounds for each contact? Not always!
Advanced SMS options? Totally inconsistent.
MAC Address randomization? Roll a d20 against the number of flagship models and carriers in your area. You'll probably get it, but no guarantees.
Heaven forbid you want to do something that should be straightforward in today's day and age like download your SMS History? Voicemails as audio files? Custom Do Not Disturb settings? Good luck.
Apple users have been sending text messages interchangeably between their phones and computers/tablets for years. I still recall the shock and awe when my android phone was getting a barrage of text messages from my boss because he could send them with the full keyboard on his laptop while I was one-finger-punching the touchscreen on my phone to reply.
A lot of this isn't the direct fault of the android kernel itself, but it is a large portion of the default android user experience in the U.S. and as such it's what I have to base my judgement of the android kernel ON.
Android should be the superior option, but at this point in time, I don't think it is.
I'm not sure, but the one I'm thinking of starts in the 1800's, which is part of why I enjoyed it.
I thought it was a neat take on what I considered an otherwise one-dimensional character. (Don't hate me, my first exposure to Wolverine was the 90's animated series, where he WAS pretty darn one-dimensional)
Okay, so I hit rotten tomatoes, checked movies that were both critics rotten AND audience rotten, and started perusing titles for stuff I thought rocked.
abraham lincoln: vampire hunter
waterworld
hellboy (how is this in here? I thought this was universally loved)
mars attacks! (56 and 53, I also feel like this shouldn't be on the list. It's too good, and not in a bad way)
x-men origins: wolverine (again, is this not considered awesome? I thought it was great)
daredevil/elektra (I enjoyed both movies)
and now for stuff I've watched at least five times:
the ninth gate
planet of the apes (2001)
avp
prince of persia
green lantern
van helsing
I'm dead serious, I was looking forward to MORE green lantern movies along the lines of that first one. I bought it on amazon having heard nothing about it (I was in a societal black hole for a few years there), watched it, loved it, and was like "sweet, when's the sequel coming out? I wanna see sinestro do his thing...wow, this did not do well. Fuck."
I wasn't super happy with ALL of the writing, but that's comic stuff in general and I thought the whole thing was still quite enjoyable. Like, multiple rewatches enjoyable. Seeing Hal Jordan on screen and having Ryan Reynolds do it was great.
I dunno, I guess she figured the carbonation would help?
Mostly I figured this was done because whatever they use to make the lemon/lime flavor in sprite/7up/etc doesn't seem to digest all that quickly, comparatively...
...so when you inevitably vomit again, it doesn't taste QUITE as awful or burn your throat quite as bad because it's at least LEMONY bile and stomach acid instead of just pure bile and stomach acid.
The sugar is "neutral" (7) and potentially offsets the pH of the hydrochloric acid in your gut, too.
Puking too much pure stomach acid for too long and not rinsing your mouth out afterwards can cause rapid tooth decay, I'm told.
Some of us are still occasionally browsing parts of reddit because not every niche community has fully made the transition yet and said niche communities are the ONLY places to get relevant, timely information for those niches.
I know for me there are some decade+ old MMO communities that haven't swapped over yet. Since many of the old wikis got shut down years ago when fandom, etc, took over everything, for some games the only choices are youtube and reddit. Personally, I hate youtube's monetization forcing tiny bits of information to be strung out into 15-20+ minute videos more than I hate what the reddit team is doing, and I hate what's happened to reddit a LOT.
The move is going to be an ongoing process for a while.
Labeling everyone with broad brush strokes misses some of the nuance of the situation, but I look forward to the day I no longer have to visit Reddit for the information I'm looking for.
