The point of a thought experiment isn’t to creatively invent your way out of answering. It’s to give you a lens to examine your beliefs. The trolley problem can be a train problem or a giant falling safe problem or a two-bombs-with-a-button-to-switch-detonators problem. The specifics aren’t there for you to fantasise they’re there to give context to one of the most entry-level problems in ethics.

You didn’t impress your philosophy buddies by refusing to engage with a hypothetical. You made them groan and then they laughed about you when you left the room.

The philosophy majors did not like me pointing out it was ridiculous to imagine the problem existing in a void with an absolute limit on possible courses of action.

Holy shit you did it! You beat philosophy! ^^^/s

But with one of the finest toilets in the world!

The fact that shrink-wrapped agreements aren’t automatically void worldwide is a fucking abomination. No you shouldn’t get to push a legally binding contract on me after I paid for the product. It’s my property now and if you want to require a license agreement after the sale then I should be able to decline it for a full refund fuck you.

When I bought Fallouts 1, 2 and Tactics from EB like 15 years ago I couldn’t run them even with the disc in the drive. The shitty securom was broken and refused to recognise the disc. It was only thanks to pirates that I was able to crack them and play the copies I fucking paid money for.

DRM is cancer.

The S5 was IP67 with a removable battery and an SD slot (so don’t listen when people say they removed batteries for the waterproofing).

The S6 had no waterproofing, no removable battery and no SD slot.

The S7 brought back the SD slot and had IP68 water resistance but they never returned the removable battery.

Wait did Samsung take them away again??

My favourite part of Tiny Homes is how they came into vogue and were subsequently priced out of reach of poor people.

It isn’t just housing it’s infrastructure in general. Governments are happy to bring in more bodies to fill jobs and pay taxes but don’t bother to plan accordingly and infrastructure takes a long time to build leading to a lagging effect.

Hospitals, transit, housing, etc. It’s all being overwhelmed right now.

Apparently like 0.2% of users use the images one. Fwiw they’re not removing it they’re just separating it so the main app isn’t bogged down by extra features. I hope for your sake this isn’t the first step in deprecation though.

TL;dr:

They’re moving pictures and music to separate apps because no one uses them. They’re also expanding API access and streamlining the main app for movies and TV.

Qatar. It still looks like shit but slightly less like shit I suppose.

I wish it were a good kids movie. You know they exist right?
