Please tell me it's not just me
  • It’s definitely not just you.

  • Apple
  • Virtually any company big enough to make a worthwhile phone is going to do terrible things. Think a given company is an exception? They won’t be once they get larger.

    That being said, the fact that “everybody does it” doesn’t make it okay. The “blue vs green bubble” shit is nonsense that’s totally unnecessary.

  • How do people look at American society and think "this is something to aspire to be fully involved in"?
  • It’s extremely difficult to have ethics while being involved in a capitalist system which is inherently unethical. Genuinely giving a damn and putting people ahead of profits is seen as a liability.

    I’m sorry I don’t have any advice to give.

  • Jeans d'Arc
  • Burning jeans are very gratifying to see

  • Fox News guest decrying “migrant crime” previously arrested after getting violent over a grilled cheese sandwich he deemed too cheesy
  • Was it imported cheese? Foreign cheese? If so, he had every reason to be irate. Real GQP patriots eat American cheese, and only American cheese! 🇺🇸 🦅

  • Climate deniers don't deny climate change any more | Simon Clark
  • I’m glad he took a moment to specify the difference between pessimism and doomism.

    I readily admit that I’m a quiet pessimist… but I also hope I’m wrong, and I still think we should do everything possible to combat climate change.

  • Whatever it would take to be able to upvote posts/comments without being redirected to an “error” page (I’m on kbin, so if you’re not and this comment doesn’t make sense to you, that’s probably why).

  • PROPOSAL: Make a rule banning jeans-related posts
  • That would depend entirely on people actually posting to the right community and actually following rules. 100% of the time. Won’t happen!

    This will go away on its own, and will be replaced by something else just as silly (like beans did, and a dozen other things I can’t even remember, because nobody posts them anymore).

  • What if a meteor hit us now? What happens after that?
  • I’ll bet there is a website that calculates this stuff…

    There is. Have fun!

  • Sealioning
  • Damn, that’s sad. I have nothing but pity for anyone who considers themselves a “true” or “professional” sea lion.

  • Sealioning
  • When I’m not sure, I just give them the benefit of the doubt. For example, there’s a good chance that the person replying to me speaks English well, but it’s not their first language. Also, their cultural norms might be very different from my own. It could be a simple misunderstanding, too. Overreacting would just make things worse.

    When it’s obvious that the person replying is just being a pedantic nuisance, though, I merely stop responding. They may think they’ve “won”, but so what? I can go to bed knowing I don’t waste my time sealioning.

  • Israeli soldiers chow on McDonald's while carrying out genocide
  • Pretty sure any dairy product and any meat is a non-Kosher combination. I’m not an expert, though.

  • Israeli soldiers chow on McDonald's while carrying out genocide
  • Well, that makes it a lot easier. Thanks!

  • Israeli soldiers chow on McDonald's while carrying out genocide
  • Yeah, but to eat Kosher you can’t serve meat and cheese together. If you go to a Kosher deli in New York, for example, if you want cheese on your sandwich they’ll serve you the cheese on a separate plate. You have to put the cheese on yourself.

    So, what’s on the burgers isn’t considered “cheese”, or it IS cheese, but served on the side, or McDonald’s just said “fuck it” and serves cheeseburgers that aren’t Kosher. My guess is #1. It isn’t technically “cheese”, but some sort of “processed cheese food” crap. They already do that with their milkshakes, which don’t actually contain any milk.

  • How come Republicans are the most fervent Christians?
  • Very, very true. I have met many so-called “Christians” who are only interested in moral authority/power. They usually drive cars with a fish on them, or a bumper sticker with some cliche about god.

    I worked with ONE person who was probably the most faithful Christian I’ve ever met. He didn’t talk about religion. He didn’t wear a cross (or if he did, it was on a chain beneath his shirt and tie). He never judged people. He was genuinely pleasant to everyone.

    I think there’s a significant overlap in Christianity and Republican thinking because many people are okay with hypocrisy and disdain critical thinking.

  • Israeli soldiers chow on McDonald's while carrying out genocide
  • They probably get away with it because it isn’t really “cheese” as most people define it.

    When I started typing, I thought that was a joke, but now I’m genuinely curious.

  • Israeli soldiers chow on McDonald's while carrying out genocide
  • McDonald’s is gross. This is probably the most severe consequence that the IDF will ever pay.

  • “No, it’s just fireworks!” Chicago cop opens fire on child with fireworks after ShotSpotter gunshot alert
  • I had the idea (source: fictional TV) that ALL cops had to be trained at a police academy before becoming cops. That’s not the case?
