They can’t send warships from the Black Sea to the Carribbean. No warships are allowed passage through the Bosphorus Strait.

Tell past self: buy bitcoin early and HODL until they are worth ~$50k. DO NOT GET TEMPTED!!!

Can someone please create an organization called “Pride Boys” and make them so popular that searching for “proud boys” on google will turn up images of rainbow flags and gay men?

Traffic enforcement cameras are good for all road-users, including car drivers! We need more of them, tbh. And I say that as a petrol-head.

enough onboard storage not to require any amount of expansion

This is just wrong, my man! 128GB are NOT enough to not need expansion! And sure, I can pay the manufacturer 50$ for an extra 128 gig, but for the same money I can buy a 500GB SD card online! And many phones don’t even have the option for this much storage. Why not offer more storage AND an SD card slot?

All new phones have audio connections built into the USB-C port

Yes they have, but now I can’t use my headphones without a shitty adapter anymore. An adapter that can easily get lost! What is the advantage of that?

I can tell you: it’s greed! We can sell you more storage at a premium. Your device storage ain’t enough? We offer cloud based storage for free! Oh, your free x amount of gigabytes is full? We sell you more storage as a subscription! Well, you don’t need storage anyways, because everyone streams their stuff today, don’t they? (Also subscription models)

Your phone doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack anymore and you can’t use your headphones anymore? Buy our adapters for very little money (but that’s basically 5$ in extra profit per sold phone). Or, you know, bluetooth headphones! They are more convenient anyways, because they are wireless. Oh, you just need to charge them every few hours and the batteries in them are dead after ~2 years, that means we can sell you another pair for 150$! And god forbid you lose one of the tiny suckers, that’s gone be 150$ to replace them.

FUCK THAT!!1!

Emojis generally replace the period but come after a question mark or exclamation point.

Can I borrow your pen? 😊

I borrowed your pen 😅

You little shit! 👿

What the hell are people debating here? A 150.000 tonne object crashed into a structure made of thin sticks (comparatively speaking). There is no doubt that the bridge would collapse. Especially since an arch is only stable if it is undamaged.

Build a Voron, swap the toolhead for a ballpoint pen, ???, profit!

Ukraine is effectively reducing the operational capabilities of Russia, one plane/tank/vessel at a time.

Russia is also using up stocks of other “enemys of the global west” (for lack of a better umbrella term) like Iran, North Korea, and to some extent China.

He’s assuming that the inverse of too much CO2 is too much O2.

Cracking down on account sharing has sent lots of people sailing as well, and market fragmentation.
