FWIW, there are plenty of politicians in Europe who disagree with you, it's not an American take, here's a quote from Lithuania's PM:

"the outcome of this fight in Ukraine is crucial for Europe."

"If Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, then whatever happens next is Europe's problem at large," she said. https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-not-stopped-in-ukraine-all-europe-problem-lithuania-pm-2024-3?op=1

Typically lifted trucks that are supposed to "look cool" like they're capable of offroading, but would get stuck the moment they actually went off road.

Now I understand why the sock company is called Bombas lol.

Lmao I'm in the NYC area and my whole house shook. I'm right there with you. Thanks for the explanation!

Okay honest question, when you merge a PR in GitHub and choose the squash commits box is that "rebasing"? Or is that just squashing? Because it seems that achieves the same thing you're talking about.

Yeah I feel like they neglected to show how much more of a problem on iOS this is than Android.

On Android apps typically have their push notifications divided into different types and can almost always turn off the marketing notifications for an app while leaving the important ones on.

I dont see even half of these notifications on Android.

Dude straight up looks like Voldemort.

I mean it is but it isn't. I think Nilay wanted to get the Verge back at the top of the search engine results but also wanted to make a point about why he had to do it. It's funny because it's really 2 paragraphs about it and then the rest of it is a normal article about the best printer lol. And the fun Gemini thing thrown in.

Lol again, everyone in this community loves to call The Verge corporate shills but then has no problem upvoting and commenting on posts like these. Like if the Verge were truly biased by corporate interests, wouldn't an article like this be the place most ripe for that bias to show through and be a problem?

I get that the community is not a hive mind and is made up of many different people, but on posts where people are criticizing the Verge because they don't like the way they show the corporate viewpoint you'd be drowned out completely if you were to argue anything otherwise. The irony just kills me.

Nah fuck that, that's not a deterrent and businesses will just see that as the cost of doing business. They should be forced to refund everyone for the entire game no questions asked. There was no disclaimer when purchasing this game that says "we may completely disable this game and render it useless, even single player, on short notice at any time." What are you supposed to do, buy the game, then read the terms of service and maybe interpret it as them having the ability to do that and then return the game? Absolute BS.

I don't think any reasonable consumer would purchase a game if they knew it could be made completely unplayable in the next 3 months. Which is exactly what happened here. It was still on sale in December and was shut down in March...

This puts undue hardship on the consumer to make sure they're not getting ripped off and there's not even a clear way to be able to do that. This is the exact situation regulations are for.

Is the original 8mm version still not under patent? You could just take that one and cut 1mm of height off of it.

Did you read the article?

When people look up at the sun normally, the intense brightness triggers pain that causes them to look away quickly before it can cause damage, said Dr. Philip Hooper, president of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society.

But as the moon starts to block the sun in the period leading up to the total eclipse “there is significant light energy that’s coming from the sun, but we don’t appreciate pain. And so you can look at it long enough to do damage to the eye,” said Hooper, who is also an associate professor of ophthalmology at Western University in London, Ont.

Like yes, staring at the sun any time is bad, I don't think anyone is disputing that, but there are factors as to why an eclipse makes it more likely for people to damage their eyes.

When morons like you throw around the word fascist it loses all meaning. Fucking too busy calling Biden a fascist to prevent the actual fascist from gaining office. The irony is palpable.

What kills me are the people whose preferred form of government is not currently the most popular form of government somehow think that after a revolution that their preferred form of government will win out. They're delusional. In most cases the government gets worse, much worse, before it gets better.

They're working just as hard as the people above them

Woah woah woah, let's not get out of hand here. We all know they're working way harder than the people above them.

I'm sure Billie Joe would agree with you. He's always been a real one.

Your quotes do not come from the article you linked. Instead they seem to come from this one: https://www.economist.com/briefing/2024/03/14/americas-economy-has-escaped-a-hard-landing

Lol love how no one is shitting on The Verge when it's a topic they agree with.

We definitely did something. It just would have been a lot worse if we didn't. In fact so bad that BBC says the planet would have been "uninhabitable."

According to some models, the Montreal Protocol and its amendments have helped prevent up to two million cases of skin cancer yearly and avoided millions of cataract cases worldwide.

Had the world not banned CFCs, we would now find ourselves nearing massive ozone depletion. "By 2050, it's pretty well-established we would have had ozone hole-like conditions over the whole planet, and the planet would have become uninhabitable," says Solomon.
