You clearly don’t understand the situation. 125 million down to … 60 million, less, in half a century, maybe less… How to manage that is a serious question. Infrastructure is a huge question.

Again, you’re stereotyping. You can’t imagine that in a country with 300 million people there are lots of viewpoints, many of which take five seconds to find on the Internet, if only you cared. Keep going, though.

Uh, why would I text inside of Android Auto? I’d just pick up my phone and copy/paste the address into Google Maps on the phone while it’s plugged in, like I did last month, and then Google Maps would display it on Android Auto.

Also, please don’t text and drive. Pull over to text.

Discouraged by whom? Bad passive voice.

It’s all relative. Is your manager trying to get you a raise? Or, are they getting a bonus by denying you one? If you aren’t sure, maybe it’s the latter.

Right. Those people we need to beware of, those are the bosses. That’s why we talk, that’s why we unionize.

Keep stereotyping. Go on. The facts show your ignorance but you do you.

They’re lying. They won’t go. They’re so rich that they don’t have to worry about this kinda money. That’s the whole point of being rich, after all.

Because looking to blame one single group is a fool’s mission. It conceals all of the shady shit that goes on.

If it’s the voters’ fault, then Harris’s pro genocide stance was legit.

If it’s the voters’ fault, then gerrymandering doesn’t exist.

If it’s the voters’ fault, then congressional insider trading doesn’t hurt anyone.

If it’s the voters’ fault then who cares that Obama passed the ACA instead of national healthcare?

If it’s the voters’ fault, then monopolies don’t exist. Neither do dirty cops and courts that disenfranchise minorities.

Look. I’m being lazy. I could have said non-voters instead. Or both voters and non-voters. Regardless, systemic problems demand systemic solutions. Your desire to blame individuals ignores that basic principle.

Of course the people still need to be responsible for taking action. But you don’t get to blame them for things they didn’t do, that they didn’t control.

… Or perhaps you’re suggesting more vigilante action? That’s one approach. Is that what you want? We could discuss it.

And the original expression was wrong, too. Ignorance is real, but so are malice, greed, jealousy, hate, etc. Sometimes someone does something shitty and our instincts said they meant it and we’re right.

Uh, they are normal. You are the abnormal one, my friend. Remember that. Your post is unusual because most people figure out what I just wrote, but you didn’t. You’re abnormal.

Second, you run away. You think they don’t see it? You think they can’t sense that you want to, even when you don’t? Of course they know that you fear and hate them. So, stop running away, conquer your fear, overcome your hate.

I wonder if you know what you mean when you talk about people being canceled. Looking at all of the answers, I see all of these people who have done things that raised some public pressure against them and yet many of them are still active in public life. So they didn’t get canceled?

Seriously, can you give me a list of people who actually got canceled, where they had to abandon their entire career and never got it back? And who weren’t close to retirement age at the time? Of course, let’s exclude the people who got locked up in prison because that’s about being convicted of a crime, not about social justice.

I love how you ignore all the comments that actually tried to help OP. Or maybe you posted early on but you can’t be bothered to go back and edit your response. And then you pretend that AI tries to help us do anything, as if it had motivation or volition. Come on now.

Of course we can blame them. There’s a ton of great help available, but perhaps they’re like you, and their ego is so fragile that they can’t be troubled to scroll past a few trolls to find the perfect answers.

But I think we’re all used to dealing with trolls. Everyone knows how to ignore the trolls. I think the bigger problem is that people are afraid to show ignorance, even if they definitely are ignorant, like OP was here. Imagine that, you don’t want to look foolish on the internet in front of people who don’t know who you are and never will, so you turn to a solution that doesn’t work and actually has the potential to ruin the hardware you bought… So yeah, that’s strange, that’s not rational, we can give psychological explanations, but none of them make the person in question appear reasonable.

Other great technical answers here. Also, practicality. My phone and camera take JPGs. So why waste time converting?

No no no. Brazil forced Apple to open it’s devices to third party options. Apple folded because it had no choice.

(Of course it could leave Brazil, but then shareholders would sue the execs for basic incompetence or whatever, and win, of course.)

Oh be reasonable. You can’t say everything is relative and then conjure up a hypothetical SF future that doesn’t exist and maybe never will.

You cannot be 100% truthful all the time. There’s no way to communicate all of the thoughts running through your brain fast enough. So you have to choose what to say.

That choice depends on who you’re talking to, for obvious practical reasons. So, even if you try to be honest, you’re still inevitably keeping secrets from people. Always. Every day.

So the answer to your question is yes. Of course it is. There’s no other possible answer. But is that what you wanted to hear? Maybe you actually want to ask a more specific question. I’m not sure.

The first point, more than anything else, is to use the word “we” when you actually mean it. If you can’t do that, you can’t handle a complicated societal situation.

Down with kings and queens and emperors. But right now he is there, he does have that ability to get the message out, and millions of people agree with him about this issue.

They always say professional athletes should STFU about politics, right? But that’s nonsense too. Send the good message. Haters will hate, but most of them were a lost cause anyway. It’s everyone else that you’re talking to, and they are listening, and they do care.
