No, she doesn't mean heterosexuals. Because most heterosexuals don't have a problem with LGBT+.

She means bigots. She means that she expects tolerance and respect for the bigotry, so that she can continue to tell people being LGBT+ is a sin and bad for children or whatever.

It's an argument in bad faith.

What are you talking about? Those books have never existed. Only the books on this list are the books that exist.

Nothing it does is anything we haven't seen before. And if Siri is any indication, it won't be all that useful in the real world.

The problem I see with AI is that it seemingly takes just as long to figure out how to ask the AI what you want as it takes going into the app and just reading an email or writing a message. And then when it summarizes, how can you really trust that it hasn't misconstrued something that you could have caught by reading it?

It's also a symptom of the way American cities and suburbs are designed. Where are the third places where you can walk to for hanging out after work? Where are the parks with restaurants, events, space for exercise? And even if they do exist, you're packing up your car to be outside maybe once a week (because it's a big thing to get your kid in the car) instead of just stepping out of the house.

Living life in most of the US is designed to feel lonely.

I feel like aside from full-on accessibility settings for those who need them (which absolutely should be implemented and the FromSoft devs don't get a pass on this), they could do something as simple as a 2% speed, health, & damage nerf to all their enemies and it could be enough for most newcomers that have paid for the game, but didn't get anything out of it. Like me. There are probably a huge amount of people that bought the game because of glowing "this is GOTY" reviews and couldn't get past even Margit.

They seem to be in the same situation as Fry's Electronics. I worked with them the year before they closed and it was exactly as you describe. The shelves were barely stocked, there weren't enough people, the quality of products went way down.

It's sad because Best Buy is basically the only place to go to see things in person before buying them. It's important for TVs, Monitors, Laptops, Keyboards, and more.

It wouldn't surprise me if they close down for good within a decade.

It would be far from "slavery" in the typical sense.

If this happened, those people would get food, housing, healthcare and job training while getting paid for it.

Though I'm definitely not in favor of conscription because how can you call yourself free if you're required to do involuntary military work for the government.

It's about the restrictions they put in place on those who have bought their products. They make it extremely hard to leave their ecosystem, overcharge for services, and prevent interoperability with other products.

They're only just now allowing RCS to try getting out ahead of these lawsuits. But they still don't allow side-loading (forcing developers to use their store so they can charge 30% on all sales), don't allow third-party app stores, and don't allow third-party browser engines (forcing everyone to reskin Safari).

Plus, in the US, Apple has 55% market share as just one company. The next highest is Samsung at 25%.

So yeah, they can play monopolistic games.

It's so asinine for them not to allow side-loading and third-party browser engines outside the EU.

It's more difficult system administration just for them to maintain control.
