    which is requiring it for apps

    The simple solution is not making everything a fucking app…

    It’s always hilarious to watch people act like they care about security and privacy but download 27 different apps instead of just using a web interface…

    It’s like the iPad generation can’t figure out a bookmark list





  • So this is roughly a 64 page paper on his sexual assaults.

    Which is why we got a cap the list somewhere lol.

    But just pointing out that even if his supporters downplay the recent lawsuit, he flat out admitted to violently raping his wife, and spent millions to serve on children and enjoyed that it made them uncomfortable.

    trump raping kids is the least surprising thing that could ever be revealed, and that’s not even getting into an innumerable other reasons.

    Remember who needs to hear the message, and how much they’re able to hold in their head at once to connect to other things.

    Short and sweet, and all the better if it rhymes.

    I miss PoppingKream too, but the people who need convinced tap out at 3 simple facts at once.






  • Nah, they got a point:

    , but the skills, and knowledge of how to make things.

    Apple spent billions training Chinese workers how to do highly skilled manufacturing work for pennies and shitty hours with huge turnover rates. Remember the days of suicide nets in factories where the workers lived?

    Apple viewed them as a disposible work force, they viewed it as job training.

    They wash out, then get jobs doing the same things “the Apple method” for more pay and better conditions for a Chinese company.

    Still not great pay, still not great conditions, but there’s an incentive there to work for a local company instead of Apple.

    Over decades this has led to today where even if we tank our manufacturing away, that just makes manufacturing Chinese competitors even cheaper.

    It has nothing to do with discoveries, it’s about a trained workforce with the infrastructure in place for them to work and a supply of the rare earth materials they need.










  • Central to the case was the use of the word, “haole,” a Hawaiian word with meanings that include foreigner and white person. Dennis Kunzelman testified that the men called him “haole” in a derogatory way.

    Attorneys for Aki and Alo-Kaonohi said it was not Kunzelman’s race that provoked them but his entitled and disrespectful attitude.

    Yeah. That’s not a hate crime.

    I’d get called a haole 5x walking two blocks to the beach. Especially in an area that’s still mostly native, they ain’t going to just jump to using the same words for you they use with lifelong members of the community.

    You’re literally an outsider and need to make an effort to be welcomed into the community. Until then, you’re going to be called the word for outsider. Well, technically it means “soulless” but it’s not as bad as it sounds.

    Edit:

    To clarify like a lot of Asian communities a lot of importance is put on family units.

    So amongst themselves, everyone is: auntie/uncle niece/nephew brother/sister/cuz

    If you’re not part of their family group, they ain’t going to call you that.

    You’re a “haole” and that’s all it means, one translation is just “not of the island”. It’s not automatically a bad thing, and rarely is.

    But lots of haoles are dicks too. So sometimes you get checked to make sure you’re cool.
