Thanks! To your last point, I see any meaningful choice as fundamentally deliberative. If competing actions have no discriminating features (over which to deliberate), e.g., by being equally bad or good, then your decision would be arbitrary. Acting at random isn’t a deliberative procedure (evaluative, judgment-oriented, rule-bounded, normative, moral, or praiseworthy) and therefore not a meaningful choice.

It does, actually. Ice cream can put you at grave risk of brain freeze.

If you want to be philosophical about it, consider this: If there weren’t pros and cons, you wouldn’t be making a choice at all. (You would be acting arbitrarily.)

And even breathing has downsides. For instance, it means I must continue sharing the planet with you. This is terrible news. (Also my nose is cold.)

That’s… life. You’ve never not made a lesser-of-two-evils choice. It’s metaphysically impossible.

Isn’t that literally life?

It’s every single choice these people have ever made and they still don’t get it.

Rolex. Evincing pathological narcissism or psychopathy.

Yes, Europeans at the time were very short.

Except in the land of Lilliputians. Also there’s nothing wrong with being short, as you’re implying by taking offense at a statistical fact.

So he wasn’t tiny, he was just very short. Gotcha.

That’s expensive. Rotten eggs will do.

Maybe Hong Kong counts as a military occupation? I mean, I doubt if 3.5% of Ukrainians protested that Russia would just leave, so external occupations probably don’t count.

You STILL believe that a decades old word processing app would let you type for hours without periodically saving your work? Are you actually insane?

EDIT: You know what, never mind. Your corporate shilling has convinced me — Microsoft Word isn’t getting shittier. Being the only word processor on the planet with no autosave feature makes perfect sense. Amazing conclusion.

You just spent pages defending Microsoft for having no autosave feature on a word processor. Maybe time to re-evaluate your life choices.

So to be clear, your claim is that Word never saved your file automatically every few minutes? Are you suuuuuuure? Sounds to me like you’ve never used Microsoft Word before.

Also I am a paying customer, you corporate shill. I just want my file saved LOCALLY, as it has been for decades, not on fucking OneDrive.

Last point: anyone who doesn’t think the Microsoft board of directors should be guillotined should also be guillotined. I am repeating this because it is true.

It was removed from the MacOS version, yes. I’ve been using Microsoft Word since 2004.

Edit: also think about what you’re saying: they “added” autosave (why didn’t they already have the single most obvious feature in a word processing app?) but they don’t let you autosave unless you put your files only on OneDrive — not locally. Think about how bizarre and shitty that is… and that’s for paying customers.

I was using it for years and they literally have an autosave feature on iOS right now. You can stop typing and force-close the app and it’ll save it to your iCloud (not OneDrive) flawlessly.

Funny enough I’m familiar with the thread you linked because when they disabled AutoSave I searched for ages to figure out how to re-enable it. That thread is bullshit.

I’m a professional writer who uses Word (I’m inured to its bullshit). Autosave does not work on local storage or iCloud — only Microsoft OneDrive. It’s unbelievably frustrating and I’ve developed the subconscious habit of spamming Cmd+S after every sentence or two. Funny enough autosave still works on iOS.

Edit: I do pay for the Office suite, and I remember when they made this change. They also disabled a few other features I’m too lazy to enumerate, but it’s things like ReadAloud, changing file names while on a cloud backup that isn’t OneDrive (disabled about a year ago), dumb stuff like that.

Microsoft Word literally removed the ability to autosave. Your document is no longer automatically saved as you type, unless you pay for cloud backup. This would be hilarious if it weren’t so unbelievably dumb.

Microsoft Office is a paradigmatic example of enshittification. But you do you.

Weird, it’s been at least a decade since I encountered a Microsoft product that wasn’t actively getting worse.
