but if cheesecake factory hired him and supported him to make this discovery, you would look at the menu differently.

YOU understands it is dumb to shut them down. You are not necessarily the average green advocate. The average anything advocate / activists these days are usually much dumber than the general concerned citizens.

Then let me ask another way, what right do you have to decide what other people may or may not want? If people are paying their hard earned cash to pay for what you and I consider shitty things, then you and I are clearly wrong.

I mean, it is just your opinion that EA shouldn’t have DLC. There is no fault in buying it and there is no fault in selling it. Does it make things worse for the rest of us? Yeh it does, but really, why do you care if you aren’t buying it?

Gullible people are partially to be blamed.

What are you talking about, we are going to breed our generation of evil motherfuckers.

Do you really don’t know why, or are you being sarcastic?

He said this: I have never done anything “useful”. No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world.

That’s in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Mathematician’s_Apology, the summary of which matches what you said:

One of the main themes of the book is the beauty that mathematics possesses, which Hardy compares to painting and poetry.[5] For Hardy, the most beautiful mathematics was that which had no practical applications in the outside world (pure mathematics) and, in particular, his own special field of number theory. Hardy contends that if useful knowledge is defined as knowledge which is likely to contribute to the material comfort of mankind in the near future (if not right now), so that mere intellectual satisfaction is irrelevant, then the great bulk of higher mathematics is useless. He justifies the pursuit of pure mathematics with the argument that its very “uselessness” on the whole meant that it could not be misused to cause harm. On the other hand, Hardy denigrates much of the applied mathematics as either being “trivial”, “ugly”, or “dull”, and contrasts it with “real mathematics”, which is how he ranks the higher, pure mathematics.

As a manager, I would ask you to file a Jira ticket first.

If I am on a 20 minutes drive I need the damn thing to keep playing music for 20 minutes, not just randomly stop playing halfway through a song. YTM does that. Spotify doesn’t. Nor does my other background players.

Music would randomly stop playing. I can just continue it, no error or warning. Spotify doesn’t do that, nor does other background media players.

Okay, it isn’t just me who find YTM buggy.

As a music player, could it please play music? Jesus.

This is just about efficiency. Postal (including UPS / FedEx) can plan the route ahead, stack parcels with as little space as possible, and deliver hundreds of packages in a day. UberEats doesn’t know when will order show up, doesnt know when will order be ready, it can deliver maybe 2 - 3 orders in a row, the route planning is just in time.

Tell me how is this only explainable by socialized system.

So there is 他／她, but only in writing so you can be very disrespectful and your conversation partner is none the wiser.

Care to elaborate? Sounds like an interesting story.

So about an hour ago I was showing this to my wife, we both saw white and gold and thought this is silly. But now somehow I am seeing blue and black and she is still seeing white and gold. Fuck me.

Yep, it is definitely a little weird. I mean you aren’t supposed to speak English. Translate everything to pinyin and you are complant.

Right, I happen to come from China so.

Without the vast resources of the US clandestine services, it is impossible to come to such a shocking yet true conclusion.
