I can understand that you don’t have those in Canada, but there should be other options right? Maybe contact support?

I think you’re on the verge of understanding the problem. You’re so close. Just trust that the guy you’re replying to isn’t an idiot and you’ll finally understand.

Sure in the Netherlands you have options. But other places aren’t the Netherlands. Different countries have different options, but Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal work pretty much everywhere.

Edit: Completely unrelated, I’m munching on some licorice Mentos I found in the Dutch section of my local grocery store here in West Michigan, and I just want to thank the entire population of the Netherlands for the wonderful things y’all have done with licorice. No one likes it here, so no one bothered. But the variety your country comes up with for this stuff, it’s fantastic.

Don’t you think it is a bit harsh to accuse people who doesn’t like musicals of being sociopaths?

That’s a wild misinterpretation of what I said.

There are plenty of reasons not to like musicals. The songs ruin immersion for some people, the format is cheesy, the acting is over the top, the plots are almost always formulaic. The description of them as “an empathy-based drug” doesn’t mean someone who doesn’t like them doesn’t experience empathy. It’s such a leap from what I said that I feel like you’d have to actively try to misunderstand me to get that.

I’m sorry. I know everyone’s tastes are different, but I can’t help but feel kinda bad for people who don’t appreciate musicals. They’re like an empathy-based drug. “Here, experience some emotional highs and lows for a couple of hours.”

Counter-question, how can I make it clear I DO NOT want to be cold-approached by ANYONE while at the beach? Headphones, sunglasses, and my face in a book has not worked.

Have you considered not being attractive? Always worked well for me.

I can’t tell you how many people have found their spouse by singing in a local chorus (including me). If you can carry a tune and have a basic level of sight reading, find a volunteer choir. They always need more dudes and are always full of brilliant, talented women, many of them single.

As I said to my parents when they said something similar:

Not everyone is a 0 or 6 on the Kinsey scale. Plenty of people have some amount of choice. But not everyone is a 3, either. Most people have a preference. And some people are a 0 or 6. Just because one person with “gay temptations” successfully lived as a heterosexual doesn’t mean everyone can. The world is more complicated than that.

But of course in the Christian-sharia-law state of Tennessee, doctors can refuse patients if they don’t fit their values or whatever. A woman was refused prenatal care because she wasn’t married.

🤣 No such thing as lazy, that’s just a word we use to shame people into doing stuff they don’t feel like doing.

I tell people this and say, “Follow the M.”

Gotcha. I agree.

I think it was real. His level of involvement is debatable, but his writings seem to indicate he at least knew about it.

I’m not sure where midband 5G falls, but it’s significantly faster than LTE with much more range than the millimeter wave 5G.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call Bonhoeffer stupid before. Personally I wish more pastors got involved in plots to assassinate genocidal fascists.

Update: The psychiatrist who looked at her said she had too much weed -_- . I’m really disappointed in the doctor but she had finally slept and sounded more coherent then

There might be something to that. Psychosis enhanced by weed is not unheard of. As I’ve read, weed has been shown in studies to bring out schizophrenic symptoms in people predisposed to it. Not that it causes it, just brings it out in some people.

I say this as someone who loves weed and consumes it frequently. Just like any psychoactive chemical, it’s going to have different effects on different people. We all know alcohol causes psychosis all the fucking time but we just roll with it.

The lack of color isn’t the default, it’s an option (an evolution of one that already have). By default everything is still colorful.

That example photo is with the icons set to white (or similar). By default the icons are still colorful. They showed it off during WWDC and it looks mostly good.

Maybe. I suspect it will be much better than last time.

Processing power is much better now than in 2006. Back then it was about having some blurry transparency and lots of light beams and lens flares and shit, because it was easy to layer that over stuff. This is going to be more about refraction at the edges and clarity in the centers, with frosted looks as background when needed.

I am hopeful, it looked mostly good in the WWDC video, with only a few examples of poor legibility that hopefully will be ironed out.

I’m personally ready to move on from the flat look as long as it remains cleaner than Frutiger Aero. I miss having depth in my UI.

Back in 2016 I got my sister to take one of those tests where you answer a bunch of questions and it shows how well various politicians agree with you.

She matched with Hillary Clinton like, 83%. Nearest Republican was 56% or something.

She outright said, “Well, she’s pro-abortion so I can’t vote for her.”

I feel like it’s easier to tell English speakers to make an “eee” sound with their lips and then pronounce the vowel in question (ä, ö, ü) with the rest of their mouth (at least that’s how we do it when we sing in German, I know choral German doesn’t always line up with proper German pronunciation).

I can understand disliking The Office much more readily than I can disliking Scrubs.
