  • Everybody knows by now that this buffoon always says the opposite of his true feelings, right?

    "Luxurious" --> cheap crap "Beautiful" --> tacky/hideous/etc "Amazing" --> I just learned about this thing that everyone else has known for decades.

  • Because he's a moron and, more importantly, a bully. He thinks that escalating the aggressive pressuring and demands is the only way to prove that you're the most important one in the room.

    It's also his fear response - see his handling of Canada and Europe forming closer economic ties in the wake of his tariff nonsense. He literally has no other tool in his toolbox. I'm just shocked that nobody sends to have ever pushed back against him and slapped him down before.

  • This is also true when looking for repair parts at Home Depot.

    Me: I need a replacement gasket for a Kohler toilet flush valve.

    Them: Here's a universal replacement flapper.

    Me: My toilet doesn't even have a flapper, I just need the -

    Them: But this is universal, it'll work.

    I hate going to Amazon for everything, but shit like this is why..

  • The biggest problem in the US is how the insurance companies insert themselves between the doctor and patient, and tell you what services you're allowed to receive without even being in the room for the diagnosis.

  • Welp.

  • We interact with people from numerous Spanish speaking countries as part of an intern program, and the one thing every new group says is how funny each other's slang sounds to the rest of the group. She might have a rough month or two, but then I think it would be fairly smooth after that.

  • Welp.

  • My daughter is about 2 years from graduating high school, and even before Trump came into office I was urging her to consider non-US colleges. Mostly because she wants to go into medicine and our healthcare system has been broken for much longer than I can remember. But also the rise of Fox News (and others) getting away with stating provable lies as fact, Joe Rogan, et al. showed that there has been an inflection point and the country is being led around by the dumbest of us.

    She's fluent in Spanish, though jumping straight into a medical program would introduce a lot of new specialized words, and might be to much. We're starting to look into options though.

  • I honestly don't remember how pervasive the need for a PIN was on the Pixel Watch, but even if it was only for purchases, it would invariably take 10X as long to switch to the Wallet when I was at checkout, or I would fumble hitting the right numbers on the small screen.

    With my phone, if I'm not unlocking it with my finger as I pull it from my pocket, I can do it as part of the payment process very easily.

    The whole experience of paying with my watch was lacking. If the phone and watch are connected via BT, then I feel like the wallet on the watch should just work without a PIN. Or at most a voice confirmation.
