This is best answer. The number of people that don't know knife etiquette is really alarming. If you put your greasy fingers on my sunglasses I have to wipe them off. If you inadvertently stab me, that problem is slightly more likely to ruin my day.

I will extend this one step further and say that there are far too many people (Americans) who have firearms and don't know firearms etiquette, which is essentially firearms safety. There are a few things that might fall into the "just etiquette" category, but almost all of it is safety based. I just had to tell somebody that looking downrange through their scope (even with their bolt open) when I'm downrange hanging a target is considered bad form. They legitimately had no idea but were completely polite about it and said that it made sense and they felt silly for not knowing. I don't want to start a firearms debate, but I think one thing people can agree on is if you're going to have firearms you need to handle them with respect/caution. I think in general the shooting/firearms community could do a better job not shaming people for asking "stupid questions". I walked out of a range not long ago because I got a condescending answer to a basic safety question. After reading their rules I had a question about the unusual wording. I'm not going to walk onto the line not understanding the house rules. If that is cause to be a dick I assume other things aren't in order.

Samsung and major carriers are shooting android in the foot with the bloatware. There are less and less viable android models that aren't half filled with carrier or manufacturer specific apps that can't be deleted. The pixel might be a tool of the Google devil but at least it provides the illustration of customization. iPhones are still Iphones. People they phone is pretty much the same butvthe hardware gets slightly better. Combine all that with messaging on Iphones essentially excluding android and ut becomes though to stick with anything but a Pixel or iphone. If I didn't have lots of Google stuff setup for work I might reconsider iphones, but the pixel really has made my life easier via Google big brother. If work used apple big brother I would switch.

I like the idea. As a straight guy who drinks vodka and soda/tonic I get told my drink is gay from time to time. Now nobody will feel the need to inform me since it's printed right on the can.

I for one welcome my new meme, porn, and communism content overlords.

I can quickly, with minimal info, triage the work/inconvenience ratio of any given leisure activity and determine whether it is vaible as entertainment.

I had a guy tell me he has hemorrhoids while we were pumping gas at adjacent pumps. Nothing before, nothing after. He just said "hey man, I have the worst hemorrhoids". I wasn't in uniform or on duty (medic) and he didn't ask for advice or ask say anything else. It was like an observation about the weather. Middle-age guy, nornal car, nonspecific clothes, and no other oddities. I thought maybe he was on a Bluetooth phone, but no, he was telling me. I just said "that sucks", he nodded and we continued fueling our cars in silence.

Nothing. As long as people are scared of dying and other people are willing to profit from it, religion has a home

Same thing as the current race to the profit at the bottom of the septic tank that meta, twitter, and reddit are in now.

Only when a search engine points me to a very obviously correct and well worded answer to a tech problem. I don't log in.

Ever since the "you can't disable the fully charged notification" update that hit the same week as 5 unremovable apps with full phone permissions, I am done with Samsung. Such a scumbag way to remind you it's not your phone.
