Something like 54% of the Gaza population is under 24.

You have to go to Cuckr for that.

Like Tinder for married couples.

This is really what it comes down to, I think. When my newborn daughter gets old enough to have a phone and go out on your own, you bet I'm going to make sure I am able to know where she is at all times.

But I'm going to trust her to do the right thing and make good decisions, so I won't be demanding she go only where I designate. Kids need to be able to do their own thing and learn through experience. The better lesson is to have them check in with a text every now and then, because it's the respectful thing to do with family.

The power of the sun... In the palm of my hand

It's likely asked as a "gotcha" sort of question; a question that the asker is using to prove the answerer is on the side of the terrorists. There's no nuance in that question.

It's meant as a leading question to derail legitimate discussion.

Yeah, it's a US thing. For some reason (mostly lobbying), the US has undying support for Israel and criticism of the state gets conflated with antisemitism.

Since always

Would you still feel the same way if the DMV was set on fire and you were a suspect because you'd searched for directions to the place?

Or if you had searched that home address because you were looking for homes in the area to compare with what you wanted?

It shouldn't be enough to make a Google search to assume an individual is a suspect in a crime.

If Microsoft and Sony get into an acquisition war, Microsoft will beat Sony out each and every time.

Microsoft just has WAY more cash, they're a much bigger company. Sony can't afford to do that.

We need to ban the acoustic guitar players from parties. They're vibe killers and they don't even realize it.

Who actually wants to sit around in a silent group to watch some guy or girl sing a slow acoustic cover of Bruce Springsteen?

At the "talk and socialize" bullet, I was imagining sidling up to some group I don't know, eavesdropping on their conversation, and standing there like a creep trying to figure out the best time to say anything relevant to contribute, but failing and standing awkwardly in silence until I just walk away.

I'll stay home, thanks.

That's the funniest thing I've seen all week.

Man, it's a real sign of living the privileged, easy life when someone thinks this way.

Those people try to revolt and they die. They don't revolt and still die. What kind of choice is that?

Alphabet has half the market cap of Microsoft. Microsoft is so unbelievably big, it's not even funny.

Microsoft would be the one buying all three of Alphabet, Bytedance, and Disney and barely scoff at it.

I would think just email. Who uses email for anything other than formal communication anymore where it would be inappropriate to use emoji reactions?

Reactions are fine for casual messaging, but email just isn't that kind of social platform.

While I agree that we very much need to take care of domestic issues, it's more complicated than that. It's in the global best interest for us to help Ukraine steamroll Russia. We're getting a bargain that way, rather than becoming directly involved in a conflict.

The BEST place by far is on the back. With the Pixel 2, I could have the phone unlocked before I even take it out of my pocket because I could place my finger in the exact right spot.

It also served as a shortcut to pull down the notification shade.

That's a pretty unlikely scenario though. Someone would be better off just selling your phone at that point.

Because how is a thief going to get a perfect video of you to play to the camera?

Based on how full-in they're going with Pixel and AI, it'll most likely be a combination of #2 and #3.

They'll abandon the current version for some other incompatible version, leaving everyone using the current version SOL.

Google can't be trusted for long-term product and feature support.

When I say that, I mean having a full garden of native plants rather than the couple of bushes that are there.
