America's spies say Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon. Trump dismisses that assessment

  • It's definitely not you. This shit happened (and is still happening) on Reddit all the time, it's like there will always be a sizeable population that doesn't understand the concept of context and how replies to a thread are never standalone but always within the ongoing context of the thread. If they want to make a standalone comment, make a separate comment thread. But somehow that's too advanced of a concept for them to grasp.

  • Just because it can be by the strict definitions of the English dictionary doesn't mean that it means what you are claiming in context of Apple's usages of the term.

    AirPort Extreme, note Apple's intentional capitalisation of the word Port. Air is referring to wireless and Port is referring to Ethernet ports, AirPort is referring to how Wi-Fi is practically enabling wireless Ethernet ports. Extreme is just a typical tech industry descriptor meaning superiority. Even if you misread it as airport without the capitalization, a civilian thinks of vacations or visiting family or business trips when they think of airports, not military power projection abroad. There's a reason they're called air bases instead of airports.

    Along the same lines, AirPower is obviously talking about wireless energy. Air- as a prefix is used by Apple to mean wireless with not just AirPorts, but AirPlay, AirPods, AirTag, etc. Power is obviously talking about energy because it's literally a wireless charging pad.

    You're just reading your personal bias into these names that Apple themselves never intended, and your reading is only enabled by the English language having these words possess various meanings in different contexts.

  • Your original comment in response to the 1968 Vietnam protests stated "before we got all police-statey", which any reasonable reading would see it as implying we were not police-statey in 1968 and became so later. Dude posts about Kent State which happened in 1970 to show what makes them believe we were already police-statey around that time. How you manage to read that as saying things haven't gotten worse since 1970 is beyond me.

    Edit: I'm not here to debate the definition of police state or whether we are one, I'm here to point out what is and isn't there in the actual comments
