I got a razr because the zenphone got huge. What I didn't expect to love are the big bezels on the internal screen (to allow it to close) they stop the fleshy bottom of my thumb from touching the screen, an issue I've had with previous phones.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, my retirement plan is dying in the potable water riots

"Immigration" has never been under threat from any party. Donors on both sides need immigration to continue. The difference is one party generally likes to keep immigrants in exceptionally precarious conditions to coerce them to accept low wages. The other party makes token changes that appear raise the immigrant standard of living to something approximating the lower class with limited efficacy.

What many democracies around the world are missing is greater recallability in offices. Citizens need to be able to easily oust people nonviolently.

Yes if your solution is to throw literal children at the problem you should quit while you're ahead.

I'm continually astonished how I thought grunt-work IT jobs would fade away as my generation and younger aged into the workforce becoming ever more technologically literate. Then the iPhone my rich friends bought in highschool became the new standard for interfaces.

Now I'm helping people several years younger and much older than me navigate the machines they use for their jobs.

All this because Capcom heard that a Street Fighter tournament participant was using a nude mod for Chun-Li. Just blacklist him and move on, let me keep my flashlight lasers on dropped materials in MH:W please.

It's amusing to me that Japan is somewhat of a forecast to economic crises and social obstacles for much of the world. They were grappling with sub-prime lending fiascos before it was generalized to the rest of the world too

It's astounding that modern management is all just metrics. Here are your target numbers, we don't know how you will hit them and it's easier for us if we don't know; if you can't hit your targets we will fire you for underperforming and will do the same until we hire our divine sociopath that will achieve our metrics by any means necessary.

Yeah potentially they're a confused internationalist at their core.

Meanwhile Gaben said he fell in love with New Zealand while he was stranded there during the pandemic. Shame he couldn't confuse the two.

You're replying to a hexbear user. When they use the label "Liberals" it includes the folks you immediately think of but it also includes conservatives., as in economic liberalism.
