Doesn't mention anything about infrastructure and I'd guess that has a lot to do with it in the US. Very, very few cities are setup with any type of pedestrian traffic or public transport in mind.
I feel like I get great value out of it. I use Music, News (mostly crosswords), iCloud storage + custom email domain, and to a lesser extent Apple TV+ and Fitness, but I love having them available.
I used IRC a lot back in the day and its shocking how little of that interaction I see anywhere on Discord. It's either nobody talking or literally hundreds just spamming messages.
I use it for gaming with friends but that's really all I've found useful. It helped me nab a PS5 back in the day because of a price watching group and I've found a few WoW communities that have group finder channels that can be good but that's about it.
I think it's a lack of consequences. If you stood in your town center and said something dumb, people would call you out and shame you for it. It would change your reputation too, at least for a while.
that used to be true, but I'm not so sure it is anymore.
Imagine Americans going to other countries and complaining that they don't get free refills or free water and saying stuff like "if you'd just increase the cost of everything, you could afford to offer free refills and free water"
Like, I agree, tipping culture sucks and I wish it wasn't the norm in America but IT IS and to just go there and pretend like they should change overnight for tourists is such a wild take.
I'm shocked at the amount of responses here willing to make the workers suffer so that they can continue getting their food/drinks and supporting the owners taking advantage of the system.
Wait you take a moral stand against McDonald's but are willing to stiff workers at restaurants and support owners that are taking advantage of them? This take makes no sense.
This is such an immensely important piece of North American history. I'm thankful to have seen portions of it but would love to see more, it needs to be protected.
I hope bigger retailers jump on board with this too 🤞

Firefox kind of does this with Split View
Seems like there are a few threads like this from 2025 where they just tell users to submit feedback but no way to block it yet it seems.
Probably more effective to cancel your account and tell them why you’re cancelling rather than sending feedback though 🤷♂️
What platform are you on? I haven’t experienced this in Apple Music but I often listen to the same stuff rather than going down discovery holes.

I think there's a whole show dedicated to figuring this question out.
I think this depends on who you ask.

The data is linked in the post
They certainly don't help but according to this, the spike is related to smartphones not trucks/SUVs
These things look so much cooler than they sound and act, lol

This is it 100%.

ah yes, put the onus on the people just trying to survive while still patronizing the restaurant that the owner continues to make profits on.
If you feel this strongly, you should boycott all restaurants that make their servers rely on tips.

but the payoff for Garry was SO good.
