It’s trying to feel like Apple after iPhone X, but I feel it misses the mark.

The swipe gestures on iOS are swiping elements, but on Android it’s triggering an action, and things like swiping from the right/trailing edge going back feels wrong to me.

I sometimes miss the back button on iOS, it’s a good button.

That’s a pretty decent profit margin. Many businesses take in a lot less.

I could go on about that too.

Shit like permanently pinning a notification in system preferences because you aren’t signed into iCloud grinds my gears.

There’s a lot I like about Apple, and a lot that I wish Steve’s ghost would come back and start tossing desks out of windows over.

You're right, fixed just helped avoid sudden changes in first necessitating sudden rent changes.

I do feel like rent increases need to be examined closer for these situations, it's absurd the average one bedroom in my city costs more than my mortgage and insurance on a whole house.

That's insane.

It should be illegal to rent out a property with a variable rate mortgage attached, because no reasonable person would rent out such a property if they had to take responsibility for it.

But hey, we can just make renters pick up the slack!

Sort of, it was essentially free money for these companies to license content that didn’t even make the Walmart DVD bin. But now that streaming has replaced cable those companies want the full revenue to make up for it.

Netflix is profitable, they have a 13% profit margin, so streaming is sustainable even with super high R&D costs.

Everyone is trying to squeeze the customer and Netflix now and I think it’s doomed to fail. Nobody buys CDs, Nobody pays for an individual Columbia Records subscription, and nobody wants to have a separate streaming service for every “channel”. Ultimately what happened to music is going to happen to TV again because it’s inefficient for these companies to all be playing greedy forever.

Apple does that too, and it’s so un-Apple.

Well, it’s not Steve Apple, but it’s very Tim Apple, and that bugs me.

Maybe streaming providers should acknowledge that people don't want 6 different services, they're anchored to Netflix from 5 years ago in terms of content score, quality, and price.

Everyone I know who tried the ad plan on Netflix dropped it, and in the past year I've cut which streaming services I subscribe to as content disappears and I'm asked to pay more for less.

My prediction for streaming is annual only contracts or stupid high monthly prices, lower quality, and ads getting baked into the higher tiers like cable.

Also by the time your request goes through it's already done.

Life's more affordable when you're dead, plus it's the only way out of your student loans.

I don’t like self checkouts.

I don’t like fiddling with the thing, I don’t like how they lay the interface out (it’s designed to not be efficient, and there’s always so many clicks to pay), I don’t like entering vegetable UPC codes, I don’t like touching the screen 100 other people touched without it being cleaned, and I don’t like feeling like I’m being watched, and I don’t like context switching between scanning, choosing, and bagging.

I just want to load my items onto a belt, the cashier scans them and enters codes, then I bag them. I’ll simply say no to donating and tap my card and leave. Simple.

I'd worry writing a will then suddenly dying would come off as suspicious.

I'd probably spend the day doing nice things for my wife

“Save the children is basically a generic statement obviously,” lead convoy organizer Gordon Berry told PressProgress. “There’s a multitude of things you could be saving them from.”

Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,” but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools and the trans agenda and the math agenda, gender dysphoria – all of these things.”

Oh, so it's mostly about being an anti-LGTBQ and education hate parade, with some flat earth and anti vax thrown in.

"Trudeau’s paying LGBTQ a million dollars"

Does he think LGTBQ is like a company or secret society or something?!

“You got to save them from the whole system.”

I can understand where he's coming from here, the system clearly failed him.

This dude nailed the "I'm shitting my pants in revenge" face, and not everyone can pull that off.
