Well Russia is currently bombing a European country which I personally consider much worse than an embargo.
Have you thought about why Switch is the best selling console in the current generation even though it's by far the weakest in performance?
- generation hate, ageism, collective guilt - it's getting normal to blame a whole generation (typically boomers) for all the wrong things in this world.
- websites requiring login to see content which isn't anything privacy related - twitter, quora, instagram ...
- services which require a smartphone app and don't provide a website version.
- it's been more than ten years now, but the fragmentation among messaging services. I mean, before that, everybody used ICQ which was a proprietary platform as well, but you had all these different clients and the platform was therefore quite open. Not anymore. I dislike RCS as a possible solution, because it's carrier based and tied to your phone number.
I now use it only for things like books
Regarding that ... I recently bought a hefty biography on Oppenheimer - should have had more than 500 pages, great reviews. What arrived was a 50-page small format booklet. Not even books are a "safe buy" on Amazon.
I'm from Europe, I was taught on manual transmission and drove with it for 10 years. But I switched to automatic (actually not on purpose, I didn't notice the car I was buying had it), and now vastly prefer it.
I just browse by Subscribed.
Sometimes if I'm bored or want to look for new communities I switch to All.
Congrats to India!
This article reminds me how Russia could prevent the war by not invading. They can also stop war any time by simply going home. We should be clear on the fact that Russia is solely responsible for every single second of this war.
The bad news is that Russia still has ~60 of those. The good news is that they can't replace the losses, the production line was scrapped 30 years ago. The supposed successor, PAK DA, continues being a vaporware.
Titles like this are cancer since they intentionally mislead. It's "a billion rubles", thus tens of millions $. Pretty insignificant.
Brands have been always important to teenagers.
It will make a difference if you don't get enough of it. But having enough of it will just feel normal.
