  • I will never understand wireless headphones as a concept. They seem objectively worse in every way.

    Lower sound quality, more battery intensive, have to be charged, less comfortable, easier to drop and way easier to lose. Also, makes you look like you're talking to yourself all the time

  • Waarom wordt dit niet ook bij alcoholische dranken erbij verrekend?

    Bovenop de alcohol taks bedoel ik. Is een beetje dom om effectief de alcohol taks te verlagen door een andere taks op alleen alcohol vrije dranken te stoppen. Zou het een ten koste van t ander gaan

  • Protests are very good at causing civil unrest, damaging public property, making other peoples days worse, and swaying their view further away from your cause

    If any of those are your goal, they can be quite effective

  • For all intents and purposes it was free word

    I haven't really used word in over half a decade since TeX beats it in every conceivable way.

    Wordpad was useful in the sparse few cases where I was forced to open a .doc or .docx and couldn't be arsed to upload the file to Google docs

    I guess it will be missed for that

  • Yup, calling bs on the article, since a pc is both cheaper and easier than a phone. Besides, if you know how to navigate a window and type into a textbox (both required for YouTube) you know how to write a digital form

    This article is made up drama

  • You mean like how you fully purchased a premium account?

    I wonder why there are no laws against eforced, unilateral contract adjustments like this. Especially considering "no ads" was an explicit part of the original purchase

  • You're right that I inverted it numerically

    Though, that's a communication thing. White people are a minority worldwide but never referred to as such. I used the standard way to refer to the different races even though that is statistically incorrect in the hope of it being more directly obvious what I meant

  • It is getting better though. We are all just facing the issues of our era's.

    Tech keeps going up, we are slowly making progress on climate change, the space race is back on, and superpowers don't directly fight eachother anymore. Hell, we've proven to beat once in a century pandemics in a few years with relatively speaking barely any deaths. Life's good

    Yes, we have squabbles in the middle east and Africa, but that's par for the course and not an indicator for human development. The only thing that has really gone backwards is that war has been brought back to europe

  • Coin

    Look, the glasses are nice and all, but they don't give you a 50% change to win the lottery and randomly realise a way to prove/disprove the Riemann hypothesis every two weeks

    I wonder how this works with elections. In my country, the votes are counted within 12 hours. When I'm voting on a party, I am attempting to make said party the largest one. Does the coin just give me a 50% chance to unilaterally decide my government every election cycle?

    Edit: oh shit, it's not 50% chance, but 100% after it came into effect once. The first time it lands on heads, try to guess the next flip's outcome by guessing it would be heads. Since the coin is in effect, this guess is correct, even though the next coin will only be flipped in two weeks

    In other words, the coin just gives you reality warping for halve a day every two weeks
