This got me thinking, milionare normally means you have at least a milion right? Where $50 would be a good estimate, but the moment you have 2 milion you go half to $25 and technically 999 milion is still a milionare.

I just realised the concept of looking at boobies in a book with extra long pages must be pretty foreign to anyone born after 2000s.
I could move to Signal, open up a chat with myself and chat for a while but I think it would get pretty boring pretty soon.


I wouldn’t imagine that OP meant the question as Snowden being permanently labeled a hero for all of his life actions, nor should anyone ever be labeled as such. We are judging a specific action he took many years ago and also in a context of people generally labeling his action as good or bad since then. We are also not talking about comic book characters that are consistently one way or another through all of their actions. We can agree that a convicted felon can be heroic and a puppy loving doctor can do villainous shit as well depending on circumstance, opportunity and personal moral beliefs.
But for this specific action of exposing a terrible truth and essentially losing his way of life and being forced to live as a refugee, I don’t think we should get into the pendatry of what a hero in theory is or if his action led to any actual change. Being suppressed by forces with way more weight than you doesn’t eliminate whatever label your actions deserve.


I think you are being pedantic. If you went in risking your life to rescue a puppy from a burning house but the puppy doesn’t make it because of the fumes or you jump on a robber but he kills and leaves with the money anyway, do you stop being a hero because you failed to enact change? That’s ridiculous.


Exactly. Most products are discontinued after a year or two, that never meant they should stop functioning as soon as that happens. Sounds like more excuses planted from the industry itself instead of an independent commission properly understanding what they are dealing with.

I have seen only one implementation of this that I like so far, in Decathlon. You dump your shopping basket in the machine’s basket, you don’t even have to know what is in there and the machine automatically picks everything up by their nfc tags. It has never failed for me and you don’t need to search for any tags or barcodes. You pay, you can pick up all yours stuff and dump it in your bag and you are ready to go.
The polar opposite experience is the one you describe and for those shops I avoid the machines if I can.


Doesn’t the UK have similar rules? Many other european countries already have the kind of rules Mexico is implementing.


It’s worth a lot more than $15 to other people, especially if it’s an unused one.


I don’t think the world has gone to shit, I think I have just matured enough to understand all the corruption and despicable acts humans are capable of. Looking back in history it’s easy to notice, the world has always been shit, people with power have always stomped on everyone else, nothing really has changed on that front. My feeling is that there have always been about 30% of good people, 30% assholes and 30% that just let the current take them wherever.
But I can still find things to be optimistic about. The space race seems to be back on, the new crispr research is really exciting, my friend has a potential vaccine to look forward to to cure her cancer once and for all, solar power is cheaper than ever and my country has been majority renewable for some years already, etc. On a smaller scale finding those 30% that are decent humans to spend time with is a good idea.
Personally I don’t go hungry, I have a warm bed and a roof over my head and I can get endless entertainment either mindless or through hobbies. Again looking at history, most of our race’s existence, chances are that none of this would have been the case if I lived even 100 years ago in most places.


It’s true that there’s a lot of AAA slop out there, but my all time favorite games have all been AAA in their time. Cyberpunk can still push my PC to its limits to this day.
For people like me we live in depressing times, although technically there’s no current game I am interested in that is beyond my PC’s capabilities. Good thing past me thought 32GB is a good addition in the before times when it only cost as much as a fancy meal.

This is my Roman Empire. When I find out people live with their shoes in the house I don’t want to visit them again. Your willingness to drag the outside fecal matter on the floors of your supposedly clean house is a huge red flag about you as a person for me.

That’s what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for. Even if somehow you have a special pair of shoes that you only wear inside and never outside for the obvious hygiene reasons, they are probably bad for your feet compared to walking barefoot.


There are 6 monarchies in the EU out of 27 member states. Stop lying.


Feels like you are responding to a discussion about a much deeper topic. When one doesn’t know what a word means, it doesn’t mean they need to go down a rabbit hole or make a whole research paper about it. A quick definition or wiki search is much quicker than writing the question on a forum.
Would it really be a contribution from me and an opportunity for you to elaborate from your point of view if I asked right now what’s reddit? I don’t see it.
And all that for just 1.5 hours of runtime.


This isn’t fresh news anymore and they are not lying

Imo if leaving from windows, Linux is easier to use than macos these days, simply because Linux has improved so much recently and the design paradigm is more similar to windows.
Macos has some weird ass UX sometimes like the ridiculous alt-tab equivalent or the switch around of all common keyboard shortcuts.


Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

Cheap ones and airfryers. Normal cooking temperatures are 170-200, I only go above that for pizzas. No idea what you do with 218, I would only expect burnt ousides and gooey uncooked insides.
