  I have a much more active imagination than you or Ed. The worst is something like that we're living in the Matrix and they're using our brains to do some form of computation as we sleep. If we wake up into the real world, we're not going to be wearing comfy sweaters, eating porridge, learning kung-fu, and going around in a hover-sub, instead we're brains connected to bodies that have never had to move, and every minute being awake in that world would be a horror. The connectio...

  There's a big difference between drivers who only drive in rural areas and drivers who drive in crowded rush hour traffic in big cities. And, different big cities have their own challenges. As a visitor, trying to navigate LA's freeway hell was awful, and the drivers who were used to it were not at all accommodating. But, I think LA drivers would find driving in Boston and its Masshole drivers to be hell, because it's all about squeezing down narrow streets that come from a time be...

  Realistically, how many people bought an Android phone because it was open? I doubt most people even considered that, or know that it may have been true. Most people who buy Android phones do it because they don't like iPhones, or don't want to spend the amount necessary to get one. It's just the "other brand of phone". If the message is "this is what they're taking away from you!" it's helpful if the people know what they had first.

  Meanwhile, the ad companies do not care. The right wants to claim these companies are on their side. The companies aren’t on their side, they’re not on anybody’s side. If they think they can generate more sales with a fat, black model in a bikini, they’ll do it. If it’s a thin trans model, they’ll do that. If it’s a slim blonde with big tits and a swastika tattoo, they’ll do that instead. Whatever moves product.

  It's posts like this that just reinforce the idea that centaurs are freaky creatures. Why a six-limbed creature? Actual mammals have at most 4 limbs. What does it eat? Is the stomach a horse stomach or a human stomach? Does the human head have to eat 15 kilograms of grass per day, munching it inefficiently with its human teeth? Can it just blend it up and drink vast quantities of smoothies instead? Are the centaur's front limbs massively strong, unlike a horse, because it has to s...

  It's more the printer *companies* that are evil. Printers from the 90s and early 2000s were still pretty good. They had problems with paper jams, but that's not really surprising when you're moving a physical object around like that. The models designed for office use were really sturdy and built to handle a work environment that was still mostly based around paper. So, they expected to be used heavily. Since then, they've cheaped out on a lot of the components because print...
