I’m using my old Nokia to this day. And why? Because “suddenly being stopped even after a few feet” wasn’t “difficult to mitigate” for Nokia. In the last 15 years this thing must have survived more than 100 drops, sometimes down a staircase. When I pick up the back cover, the battery and the SIM card, it’s as good as new.

You transport the dishes, sure, but do you eat from them while standing? I was specifically referring to handheld devices.

Uh, not really what planned obsolescence is.

You’re right, but I couldn’t think of a short term for this. I found ‘bad’ design too broad, and it’s not ‘hostile’ design either.

Thank you very much for your kind words, my dear sir.

Sadly, I cannot remember which YouTube video featured this: But a guy basically speedran the description of how to solve a quadratic equation the Babylonian way, that is, drawing squares and circles and shit. It took quite a while for him just to list the steps. All that disappears once you learn the formula with the bad, scary letters.

Why the fuck would they name it PRISM?

I didn’t know there was a comic series. I guess I’ll read that since Amazon pulled their animated series off of Prime.

In Germany you can always tell if a historic thing was good or bad by whether it started or ended in 1933.

Technically, the oath says not to ever perform an abortion.

I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.

If a child was 6 when Yu-Gi-Oh came out (1996), they’re now 28 and may have been on duty for 10 years.

It takes trust to give all your password to a piece of software. With all the leaks on the news can you blame them? For people with multiple devices an offline password manager is unwieldy. And self-hosting an online password manager is beyond the capabilities of most.

no or fewer children

So… they killed other people’s children?

Remember, kids, that pet’s names are often used for passwords. Don’t share sensitive information.

I used to think people stay years on death row. Are you saying you can stay morbidly obese on prison food?

We cannot stop collecting data about you because collecting the datum that you want to stop having your data collected failed.

I wonder if the situation in Europe is different, where such bullshit is illegal.

Found the Australian

Meanwhile every other person:

gets shot for not following an officer’s orders in .5 seconds

Because children have different tastes in every generation. Would you watch a cartoon from the 1950s? No, because it’s boring by today’s standards.

I mean, why not? Why shouldn’t a new generation have an updated experience of something you people obviously liked?

If you don’t like the reboot, that’s ok. You can still enjoy the memory of the original one.

I haven’t seen this one. There are people who haven’t been online 24/7 since the dawn of Netscape Navigator.
