No, he fails every time but his base pretends he wins and the news has such low expectations and a need to sell advertising for profit so they go along with it.

People who fetishize self defense carry will always have loaded and unlocked guns in the house because they are afraid of someone breaking in at any moment and they might need to play John Wick: Home Edition. Those kinds of people also teach gun safety because they think responsible handling of firearms is important.

They just don't understand that accidents are far more likely than a home invasion, and children are children even if they are taught gun safety.

The constant UI changes that fix nothing of importance and make using it less enjoyable.

A recent update changed the options for navigation from being able to hide the three icons at the bottom and swipe instead to make it like an iphone where you have one swipe up and it does things based on whether you hold or let go immediately and now the sides are go back swipes. They kept the option to show buttons, but apparently keeping the two options and adding this new train wreck as a third option is too hard. So to use my fulll screen real estate I have the joy of accidentally going back a page dozens of times per day, holding or not holding the swipe up the wrong amount of time dozens of times per day, and when I crop photos I constantly catch the stupid edge go back thing and have to cancel. At least it asks first I guess.

Why couldn't they keep swipe up for three things if they kept the buttons in the same spot anyway? I am still trying to get used to the new stupid thing after a few months because the bottom buttons are such a waste of space.

That is the worst offender, but changing icons, how notifications work, and several other things are just annoying enough tl not drive me away but feel like change for the sake of change. I know some changes can require a lot of maintenance to have multiple options, but keeping a basic navigation option when adding a third should not jave been a big deal.

This is almost guaranteed to be used to deny minorities a position.

You are thinking of a flak jacket, which is for shrapnel.

Bullet proof vests should be bullet proof up to a reasonable impact. They won't stop a .50 cal, but whould be designed to handle assault rifles like the m-16 or AK at a commmon engagement distance when loaded with standard ammunition.

That sounds like more work than just putting the cart back...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There should be a requirement for cart return spots next to the handicap parking. In places where there is a return 10 feet from the spots I still see a ton of carts in the parking spots.

I get that it can be hard, but it seems way too frequent that they could do the whole store but just couldn't make that last 10 feet. Like sure, occasionally that is inderstandable.

So I will judge them while also grabbing the cart and either using it or putting it away because that is the right thing to do.

That's fine. I will either continue to use adblockers, pay, or stop using the internet outside of what is required to function in society. I already refuse to use anything that has decided to go ad supported without the ability to block ads and has a price I'm not willing to pay.

If small (or large) businesses require the mass collection of personal information by malicious advertisers to exist, then they don't derserve to exist.

This is something that I couldn't find an obvious setting for, but someone pointed out that the descriptions are different on different instances.

This post has a German (?) description on midwest.social, but on programming.dev it's in English.

In my settings:

  • Interface language is Browser Default.
  • Languages has Undetermined and English selected

All other descriptions on posts are in English, only youtube seems to be different.
