Remember this is not a failure of conclusions (Trump is sent by god), but a failure of proceedings (belief and faith is superior to facts and reality).
They lack the critical thinking skills to even begin to digest and elaborate an argument that relies of evidence and principled thinking. They don’t evaluate reality on principles, they evaluate reality on emotion, identity and authority above all else. Therefore, fact checking is not even a possibility.
Passing this would destroy Apple’s entire business
I think that is, indeed, the point.
“Please sir, don’t take away my manacles. I don’t know how to not be a slave!”
By this same logic, on a global scale they are not dominant, so they can be argued to be a worse product, not superior. Therefore, their dominance on the US must be forced by coercive actions and categorized as a monopoly.
Second strong contender is a particular termite’s ant’s poop which lives in the jungle and is also mostly sugar.
EDIT: I misremembered, it’s an ant. Here’s a neat article about it.
I love that when in Linux a solution suggest to write into the terminal a verb and a noun, some people panic, get angry, lashes out, declares Linux unfriendly to users, etc. But somehow on Windows it was normalized that some stuff requires editing the registry, an arcane and ancient binary tree mess were stuff can only be found by recalling cryptic runes and nonsensical strings of numbers and letters, inconsistent naming, repetitive nomenclature with an eccentric GUI. And everyone just accepts that as a perfectly normal suggestion in detriment to Linux’s terminal.
We already knew that intelligence is a complex and multifaceted property, and that being very intelligent and being very good at taking tests are two distinct (albeit loosely correlated) skills. It’s just a too convenient measurement despite it’s many flaws.
This is only news if you’re an ignorant techbro who doesn’t pay attention to any other field except computer programming.
The flying was legit when looking at cockpits, but the planes were all fake. They actually created plane models that don’t exist in real life. You can bet that unless it was a scene with several humans on screen talking face to face, about 90% of what you were seeing was made by a computer animator.
There’s this concept called Hollywood ugly. Even people who are not pretty or considered to play ugly characters on film are still above average in terms of looks compared to the whole of the population. Most actors in Severance while might not be considered movie star out of everyone’s league gorgeous, are still pretty and attractive people. It’s much more about how they are presented in camera that makes them seem more everyday like.
Hey, that’s Warner new secret business strategy, don’t go around leaking it!
I want trains.
When you make 9 hours of video, but the only redeeming portion of it is 3 seconds of ass.
“Sir, 50% of the population has this virus called COVID.”
“It’s just a virology condition and not an actual endemic issue that needs to be addressed.”
The techbro definition of Disruption is:
Remember the point of calling something a Unicorn is that it doesn’t exist and it cannot exist.
You and everyone here understood perfectly what I meant. Get out of here with your inferior presidential system.
Remove corporate sponsored members of Parliament.

This sucks but it is a hard lesson about dealing with large companies. If any company wants anything that doesn’t comes off the shelf of the store, they have to pay upfront. Pay has to be by a certain amount of days in advance of delivery date or the date is not guaranteed and will be late. Work doesn’t start until payment is done. If they want to pay after delivery, sign a contract, require an advance of at least half of the bill or materials cost (whichever is highest), non-refundable, include a cancellation fee. Put this shit up as terms of service on a website and direct everyone to that page whenever you are contacted by a new client. The larger the client company, the more important it is to be this strict. For you it might be a bankruptcy inducing amount, but to them it will be immaterial pocket change, so you have to hold your ground.
No, Todd Howard doesn’t make mistakes, you just have to buy a more expensive graphics card!

You’d often finds that religious extremists prefer to prey on the mentally unwell. They’re more susceptible to abuse and easier to turn into abusers themselves. Then the chain repeats and the abuse self-replicates, propagating the abuse. Very sane and well adjusted individuals can be made to be really cruel and destructive via religious abuse.
