  • I used to use a Macbook daily before I got a Windows laptop.

    The way Apple designs their products is akin to how parents treat their toddlers. You aren't allowed to do anything that Apple hasn't graciously allowed you to without painful workarounds or loopholes. Plus, whereas Android and Windows have janky solutions that still work, Apple refuses to implement something unless the masses can use it. The result is that Apple's software is years behind, and there is very little you can do about it.

    Needless to say, after a few years, I just installed Windows on that Macbook, and eventually I got fed up with the bad drivers and got an HP Spectre instead.

  • "...scholars consider Buddhism one of the major world religions."

    "Sikhism, [a] religion and philosophy..."

    "Hinduism (/ˈhɪnduˌɪzəm/)[1][2] is an Indian religion or dharma..."

    Your own sources say that all 3 are religions.

  • Trump speaking out is a fair point, but there are plenty of cases where Trump has said one thing and done the exact opposite. Trump is heavily influenced by the people around him, and Project 2025 involves the recruitment of advisors so that a president would be ready on day 1. Even if Trump doesn't like the policies in there right now, there is no doubt that he'll get there one day, especially since he really does not know what he's doing.

    Secondly, the immunity ruling absolutely has changed a lot. I suggest watching LegalEagle's perspective on it.

  • Trump literally made abortion illegal in about half of the US. Even ignoring that, our lives barely change because many of the institutions that the executive branch controls have employees who aren't appointed and stick around between administrations. Well-funded conservatives made a plan (Project 2025) to reclassify those employees so they could be replaced with Trump loyalists. Considering that this affects agencies like the FDA, NOAA, and FTC, this will definitely impact normal people who rely on prescriptions being available or weather forecasts to know about storms.

  • He didn't know what he was doing for much of his first term. For his second, he'll have an instruction booklet that he just needs to follow and take credit for. Project 2025 and the recent SCOTUS immunity ruling are just 2 signs that show that a 2nd term will be so much worse.

  • Their point is that there's more than 1 widely-practiced religion, and there are plenty of sects that are tolerant to different forms of self-expression. Saying food is bad because you don't like bananas isn't sound logic, and applying that same logic to religion doesn't work either.

    I can't speak for any Christians, but many of the religious people I know are some of the most tolerant people I know because their religious schools focused on doing things with good intent.

  • I hope this doesn't spread to the US as although it'll stop Temu and Shein, it'll also probably make niche goods and hobbyist parts more expensive. I really don't want to pay the Amazon tax if I can find the same thing on Aliexpress, and a duty would just shorten that gap.

  • The AI does nothing with the percentages because it is an LLM, not an AI designed for math. All an LLM does is take a small number of words and turn them into a different set of words. It does not use your small set of words to run any formulas on your behalf.
