To be clear you don't have to get that technical to read non-Amazon books on your kindle.. I've owned 2 different kindles over the course of about 15 years and literally never bought an ebook from Amazon. Just gotta know where to get them (libgen) and how to use them (calibre.)

A cheap ereader would be nice, but I've kinda had to go the opposite direction; my eyes weren't great to begin with and have only gotten worse with age, so I need a larger screen. I do very little reading (in general, not of books specifically) on my phone because it's too small and I have to zoom in and pan around all the time, etc.

Not a significant number, no, but also not zero. No the common refrain is as I said it, with the implication that anyone who doesn't for any reason is a shit human being, and Iono if you know this, but disabled people are part of 'anyone' too. My whole point is that they make blanket statements about a thing that annoys them without realizing that some of those carts are out there for some pretty good reasons actually.

I'm not saying it's not relevant, I'm saying it's not worth generating 50 headlines every time the guy who literally only says crazy shit says something that's a little crazy. Iono, put that shit into a daily/weekly digest or something.

Fair enough. Yeah fuck leaving it out in the middle of everything or where it can roll/be blown away. If my buddy who gets winded walking to the bathroom can manage it so can everyone else. Although I guess to be fair there are more likely to be curbs near the handicap parking than for most other people, though also they have working legs and cart corrals, so..

Yeah that was definitely a thing I saw a lot more on reddit than here re:'shit human being', so fair point, I'm with you in hoping that kind of thing doesn't come over here/goes away.

A combination of the TSA (security theater; jump through a bunch of bullshit hoops just so you feel safe without actually making you any safer) and airlines cramming more people into the same amount of space to increase their profits.

I mean there are lots of reasons for people to be stupid/be a dick; the point is to rise above that shit. I get it tho, I was born in the 70s so I've been watching this world backslide into shit for nigh on 50 years now, it just keeps bombarding you with more and more shit. But if you let 'fuck it I'm tired' be an excuse then you're not even trying anymore.

What I'm looking to do is point out that the world isn't ever black-and-white, that the broadly applicable standards - while I agree that they are in fact broadly applicable - are never universal, and that edge-cases exist everywhere and need to be accounted for or the world is just a worse place for everyone. I'm not saying 'your solution must handle solve for every case', I'm saying 'be aware that your solution needs to be flexible enough to account the fact that the real world is messy and things are never as simple as you'd like to believe.'

I am specifically, as you say, advocating for the use of best judgement over moral absolutes (I have heard it said, in person and online, that anyone who doesn't put a shopping cart back no matter the reason is a shit human being, f.ex, so there are definitely people out there slinging moral absolutes on the subject of shopping carts.)

I mean fair enough, I already pirate some things (streaming video has definitely strayed hard back across the price:convenience line of late), but.

Huh, I never knew that. I'll have to remember that if I ever have to manually update this one, but so far nobara has been pretty good about finding and pushing updates.
