I wonder what it feels like to be a brain in a goo sac

Politicians are supposed to follow the will of their constituents.

His responsibility is to the people. Of course he can change his mine, but he should still do his job for the people who elected him and if that is contrary to his own beliefs to the point where he is unable to do so then he should resign.

Businesses don't need the working class silly, they take on the burden of employing them out of the goodness of their hearts.

If only they had the foresight to predict the needs of their customers a year or two in the future.

Or maybe they just went with Lightning because they could take a cut of every product using their proprietary connector.

I guess if a new/better connector comes along we have to wait for the EU to give everyone permission to move the technology forward?

The EU is mandating open standards, not specific open standards.

If a new and better connector comes around they are welcome/encouraged to use it. As long as it's an open standard and not proprietary e-waste generating junk

Once when I was working at an icecream shop as a kid:

About 45 mins after closing, while we were cleaning up and all the cash had been settled some crazy guy starts banging on the window demanding a milkshake.

New girl goes over to explain: "I'm sorry sir we closed at 9, all the machines and registers are shut down"

Dude totally loses his shit. "I didn't know you were closed, I though you were open until 10, I demand a milkshake NOW!"

Sir, even if we were to try to, the registers are all closed, we couldn't ring it out.. "

" THEN JUST GIVE IT TO ME FOR FREE, I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT THE MILKSHAKE! "

Poor new girl is now visibly frightened, we are telling her to just walk away and ignore him"

Dude completely loses it and starts smashing on the window, culminating in him using several really offensive slurs and SPITTING on our window.

All because he thought we were still open, as if that's somehow our fault/responsibility.

He just could not logic the fact that what he "thought" is completely out of our control and we aren't going to reopen the shop because he thought wrong
