Well, first and foremost, the reactionary Kernel concept is replaced entirely, relegated to the dustbin of history.

Instead, a Supreme Soviet is responsible for resource allocation of the Communist Processing Unit (cpu) and the Revoluntionary Access Memory (ram)

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."

Neither of those things have any effect on me anymore. The truth is that I'm in too deep for too many years. To switch to any other platform at this time would upend my life entirely. They own me.

My understanding is that kids still use the green text thing to identify other kids for bullying, thus creating organic marketing for kids that might create lifetime customers. As long as that's true, Apple will fight any attempt to get rid of the green texts.

Yeah kids bullying is one big part. The online dating world has its own version of that, a small cadre of loud assholes who don't date green text people (on the assumption Android users are poor).

The number of folks actually screening this way is probably negligible, but you don't have to actually run into one yourself to have the idea you might be getting filtered by your choice of phone enter your head.

that's extra funny considering the most expensive samsung, $1919 base, is way more than the most expensive iphone, $1199 base

Why the gently caress would you want to date someone that filters on text color

Seems like a worthwhile filter in and of itself

I agree, but many people on the apps arent looking at the long (or even medium) term.

Sounds like a good reason to have an android then since brand-obsessed people will self-select out of interacting with me.

"Dating" means both "looking for another person to have a meaningful relationship and share a significant portion of your life with" and also "trying to gently caress".

Both are fine on their own but communications wise it's not good.

Should it though? I don't think China ever had the global dominance that the US did when the USSR fell.

Both empires were destroyed before 600 AD, and were so perfectly balanced that they couldn't score highly relative to each other.

Yes? The point being, the US is the only empire that has ever achieved (however fleeting) such an absurd dominance of politics on such a large scale.

It's based on "a heuristic combination of GDP, population, and real estate footprint." It's the kind of thing where yeah, you can make a cool-looking chart, but it's going to be so inaccurate that trying to draw any conclusions from that chart is madness.

I like how India has a separate entry for the period it was ruled by the British (including a few other countries then I presume) and how before that I guess it was the Mahrattas?

This reminded me of a hot take I used to see in like '05-'06: Gays against Gay Marriage.

A small number of online gay dudes strongly against legalizing gay marriage, because it was straight assimilation/colonization.

I always assumed it was dudes who knew that if marriage was legal their main partner would be pushing them for it and had been relying on it just staying illegal forever, lol.

I think a lot of the fans of these people just don’t understand what plagiarism is, and especially how much work is involved in creating an original piece of research. The creators themselves absolutely know what they’re doing, though.
