zht

he probably means the federal government lol

I don’t quite understand this kind of comment.

Is it to feel superior for not using something that you don’t get? Are you trying to make yourself feel better or to put down Snap users as brain damaged and/or undeveloped?

They have hundreds of millions of users, using it for all sorts of use cases. There’s many features or products that are not for me, but I still try to see why instead of this kind of dismissal.

Why make snarky remarks like this?

neither Japan nor South Korea are South East Asia

One other way of saying “drives away people who give a fuck” could be saying those people are self-aggrandizing, self important, always yelling at the top of their lungs about their zealotry telling everyone at first opportunity about how they turn off JavaScript and don’t contribute the much to the discussion

I liken people like this to the Amish. They balk at modernity as being incompatible with their beliefs. So they withdraw from the world and live life as they see fit.

What they don’t do is go around all the time yelling at people telling them how their lifestyle is wrong or constantly telling other people how they don’t use certain technologies.

What?

People commit crimes that have negative impact on people, possibly causing death

They go to prison for committing these crimes

It’s not like the guy accidentally ran over a dog

He swatted people for money

sorry what?

you think given the context between Biggie and Tupac, where both artists were later violently murdered, Hit'em up, which was one of the rap beef songs of all time, did not include any genuine threats of violence?

I'm not saying that Garry Tan was threatening to, as in the original song, shoot up the supes with AKs, or shoot them in the back with the Mac, or cut their young ass up, leave them in pieces, or snatch their ugly ass off the streets, or get their caps peeled, but I think it would be very strange to rationalize that particular Tupac song as one that was not threatening murder

What?

Someone uses their sexuality to sell so it’s okay to create and post images of them engaging in sexual acts?

that's propagated to the rest of the world lol

they also need someone to resign and take responsibility if something goes to shit

Does your country have a thriving startup scene like the United States?

Some VCs can be a very chatty bunch. Some very sensitive information and gossip can travel quite far across the VC community very quickly

Ok.

So the author couldn’t pony up 129 dollars to pay Evernote, which has graciously allowed this person free use of their product for 10 years.

They cannot justify paying Evernote 11 dollars a month. I suppose they probably never eat out or drink coffee from a coffee shop, ever

In your example, being reminded of a water refill is marginally annoying. It’s a minor inconvenience.

When it comes to housing, a singular human priced out of housing is someone who becomes homeless

It wasn’t always the case. And it won’t always be the case in the future

The AD in question lost their status in 2013, way before Rolex mania came about and no one could buy a sub anymore.

And given the recent downswing in Rolex prices on secondary markets and the drop in wait time of the hyped watches, it’s quite plausible that soon some models will sit for long periods of time

Personally the idea of wearing a fake Rolex for travelling is insane to me.

You’re just as much as a target for physical violence. Sure, you don’t lose as much financially if your watch is taken, but you’re just painting a massive target on your back.

For what, to be seen as wealthy when travelling? To flex your status?

This man was stabbed to death for his fake Patek Philippe watch.

Absolutely senseless

and how many of those are rent controlled and in jurisdictions where housing is in short supply and homelessness is on the rise

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum comes to mind

he'd also have to renounce his US citizenship

What are you talking about

surprised it's only 18% given the meltdown that's happened in tech

Sure? I mean we can’t remove lead everywhere all at once but taking them out of pipes is better than nothing right?

this feels like a very low bar

why call teenagers pricks?

how are people so confidently wrong about stuff like this?

I find Alexandr Wang absolutely insufferable on Twitter. I am glad he declined it

It’s unfortunate that because of this issue I can’t track when my baby eats and shits since the app logged me out for some reason and there’s evidently no offline mode

Does the local pub allow minors? I’m confused

I hate this kind of reasoning. It comes up a lot

“My wife is a would-be immigrant so I am sympathetic”

Or sometimes

“My partner is half X So I understand discrimination against X”

Or even sometimes

“I am in category Y so there’s no way I can hate people in category Y”

I don’t think that line of reasoning makes sense. People often times carve out mental exemptions for people close to them that they care about, not for everyone in the same category. Further more, it is totally possible to love a person but not every quality about them. Also just because you are close to someone doesn’t mean you understand entirely their struggles

Not the person you are responding to but I think it’s more like if Goodyear had 90 percent of the tire market and paid every single manufacturer to be the default tires. Sure consumers could choose but realistically most people go with the default.

Makes it impossible for smaller incumbents to compete

Like brexit right
