Ditto. CarPlay actually works, and works well. It’s clean, simple, and easy to use. The buttons are big enough and clear enough to use while driving, which is supposed to be the point.

CarPlay wouldn’t have been necessary in the first place if auto manufacturers were any good at software design - but they’re NOT. I’ve driven cars without CarPlay. The interfaces are trash. GM forcing people to use a shitty interface because they don’t want to license a good one is a terrible, terrible idea. I have absolutely zero faith in their ability to do the job right. I won’t even consider a car that isn’t compatible with CarPlay.

Trimming the trees is almost clever… but not nearly clever enough to make people forget the petty nastiness, unnecessary cruelty, and deliberate creation of a health hazard. If I didn’t already side with the picketers, this would be enough to do it.

The fact that this person is hurt and angry, but still considerate of others, only makes me sympathize with them more. This could have been a venting tirade, or pathetic tantrum, but wasn’t. I hope they find something new that makes them happy.

Maybe I’m a dork, but I think“correlation does not equal causation” is actually a good thing to keep in mind.

I’m reminded of it every time a news story says something is “linked” to something else. I hate it when the word “linked” is used in this way. It’s often lazy journalism and/or a scare tactic. Saying that two things are “linked” implies a stronger relationship than may actually exist. I find it deliberately misleading.

"Nobody explained or probably thought about people like ourselves.“

You didn’t think, either, dumbass. This is what happens when you live in an echo chamber and don’t even try to learn about the issues.

“There was nobody looking after it or telling us, they forgot about the people abroad."

Oh, the irony. You wanted to make immigration harder, and you were thinking about “people abroad” then. Don’t worry, Joe. You won’t be forgotten again. I’m sure people are sending you thoughts and prayers.
