12 hour time is an inferior standard, and we should be on 24 hour time so developers don’t ever default to 12 hour time. Way too many instances of mission critical things getting swapped on am/pm by mistake. That is never a problem with 24h time.

The big hill in my neighborhood park.

Capital Hill
I don’t really know of any other hills or why I would be near them so if I die on a hill it will probably be one of these.

Apple products aren’t any better than anything else, it’s just marketing and branding. They’re like the Starbucks of computers.
With the exception of intel macs, they are the Lexus of computers because they are Overbuilt and long after they’re discontinued you pop Linux or even Windows on them and they keep on ticking and due to the metal body they survive children better 😅. Not sure about newer apple silicon though.

Rainy, damp, cloudy, windy weather is peak weather and beats a “nice sunny day” 80% of the time.

Ice cream is winter food and not summer food because of how fatty it is. Popsicles are summer food and not so appealing in the winter.

All countries should be making a 100% effort towards eliminating all meat (except that produced by subsistence farmers and the like) in their diets for the sake of the climate. Poverty is not an excuse because vegetarian diets use many many times less resources (which is why wealthy countries eat much more meat).

Large wealthy countries should provide free vitamin supplements worldwide to reduce diseases.

There are certain things people say that should be banned:
- When saying that you haven’t done or seen something in a while, don’t say “a minute” instead. I will ask what happened sixty seconds ago and make you a fool.
- When talking about where you live, you don’t “stay at”, you live at a place.
- And being afraid of the word “moist” makes you sound like a toddler who doesn’t want a bath.
- One more, “amaze-balls” and “automagic” are not words and make you sound like a toddler who doesn’t want a bath.
Can you give me an example of the first two points? I haven’t encountered that colloquialism yet. I’ve heard “a hot minute,” which is clearly a just a figure of speech and would be absurd to ridicule, but it sounds like you’re talking about something else. I just don’t understand the second. I’m absolutely certain there’s some slang being used in circles I don’t frequent, so I’m not questioning you, I’m just curious. What’s the hip new slang, dog?
I admit to using amaze-balls. So does my wife, sometimes. It’s an amaze-balls term.
Millennials?
I’ll tell you what, I’ve not been to the car wash in a min. Last time i couldn’t get my back seat window all the way up and it made the back seat damp for days. Sucked too cause that’s basically where i was staying at for the time. Amazeballs.
Paid refers to money. Payed is a nautical term.
Size doesn’t matter.

-Businesses should be run by people who are passionate about the giving a great product and/or service and not some shitty MBA who only except 10x return on his investment.

I’ve never heard anyone suggest otherwise. Who are you having this argument with?
The hill upto the finishline on my local park run this morning was way harder than usual, so (almost) that one today!
- Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they’ve added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn’t excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it’s not because we’ve perfected them or some shit, it’s because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.
What would a music phone look like? I’m not arguing, I’m genuinely asking what features are ‘camera phones’ lacking that could be installed into a ‘music phone’ (but not in a '‘camera phone’)?
camera phones
Why are all “modern” phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it’s on the phone’s backside.
Phones have become boring and are all the same.
Yep, this is why my next phone will be a Fairphone with their OS, or a Unihertz or something. I miss the old days where a different brand of phone meant a totally different OS, and there were loads of brands.

You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.
And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.
And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.
Basically most people shouldn’t have pickup trucks.
Id love a pickup…but it would be impractical, expensive to buy and run, the back space is basically useless cause even if you do put a cover on, the locks are crap. So I won’t be getting a pick up truck. Plus, where I live, it would go missing.
The only reason Americans started buying pick up trucks on mass is because of Tarifs put on Japanese car manufacturers in the 1970s and pick up trucks had no taxes on them suddenly became one of the cheapest and more affordable cars in the United States. Rick Wolf explained this somewhere I can’t remember where exactly.
I would go further. Most cars don’t belong in places where people live. They injure and kill people on the regular, the noise pollution causes mental and physical health problems, the light pollution disrupts sleep, the particulate pollution causes cardiovascular disease and dementia, as well as damaging ecosystems, driving adds to obesity and issues related to a sedentary lifestyle, the physical space they take leads to sprawl and ecosystem destruction, and the sprawl also bankrupts cities and towns. As well, driving in traffic just plain sucks as an activity, and makes people angry and miserable.
Oh yeah. Cars are bad on like every metric.
Socially they isolate people. You don’t interact with anyone when you’re driving except to get angry. The micro interactions you have on the train matter. Seeing people that aren’t just like you, also annoyed that the train is delayed, or just having a nice time with their kids, matters. More than makes up for when other people are annoying.
Economically they hurt. It’s much harder to just pop into an interesting looking shop when you’re cruising along at 40mph. All the space dedicated to parking could be used for other stuff- housing, commerce, communal space, whatever.
They make spaces less safe. Other than the direct impact (no pun intended) of people getting hit by cars, or crashing into stuff, a space that has steady foot traffic is generally safer. If everyone was in their car instead, you’d probably be alone on foot with no one to help if something happened.
They’re bad for the environment. Air pollution, micro plastics, whatever.
Drunk driving is way more dangerous than drunk “riding the train”.
The more non-car options are built out, the better it will be for people who need to drive for whatever reason.
Cars culture is trash and if we ever escape from it, it’s going to take years.
Come to India. Seems like your dreamland.
I‘d love to move to India again. I just don’t know how I could get a job there. I don’t have any fancy degrees.
