Denying intellectual disparities is denying the vulnerability of people with special needs, not to mention average folks who are easily deceived, swindled, manipulated, propagandized, and parasitized by the rich and powerful every single day.

You don’t know people who are clearly dumb?
The average ACT score for college bound seniors in Florida is 18. The test costs money, which means they’re trying their best. It’s childishly easy. My cat, who is illiterate, can score almost as high (answering at random). Again, the average is 18. What kind of conversations can you have with people who can’t read basic English? I’m asking sincerely, because as far as I can tell the answer is “none.” Maybe you can discuss the weather? Sports? Idk.
I want to stress that Americans, uniquely, are really weird about testing mental ability, probably because of their history of racism. Nevertheless, mental ability is a real phenomenon. Yes, high IQ doesn’t make you a good person, and it clearly has very little to do with accumulating wealth. But it does make life a hell of a lot easier.

I’ve used Android since launch, and I occasionally switched back and forth with iOS. One of my main complaints was in virtue of Android’s incredible flexibility. Because it was versatile, it was also less reliable and straightforward — no integrated password manager, no easy connection to other devices, etc. It’s less smooth and pleasant (and easy) to use.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 2 weeks ago:
I don’t disagree but android was already clunky, with less integration across devices (for better or worse), and now you can’t even sideload. What advantages does it have left?

Are you high?

I seriously doubt any of the losers in this thread have been in a loving relationship before. Fucking nuts.

Apple’s built-in location sharing is not shared with advertisers. Not that I give a shit regardless. I haven’t seen an ad in years.

You sound like a teenager, no offense.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 months ago:
Yes, Apple already has my location. Using the location finder in iOS does literally nothing. Also, I spend 99% of my time at my house. Wtf kind of secret shit do you think I’m up to?
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 months ago:
Are you saying Apple doesn’t have access to my location already? Like I’m some kind of secret agent?

Imagine being this sanguine about death. I genuinely envy your naïveté.

Uhhh, I trust her which is precisely why she has my passwords. Are you guys teenagers or something?

Fun fact, location sharing is literally a form of communication. Super convenient.

Can you elaborate? I don’t use it.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 4 months ago:
Maybe you’d need 3.5% of China’s population? Or are we counting Hong Kong as a military occupation? Well, I doubt if 3.5% of Ukrainians protested that Russia would just leave, so external occupations probably don’t count.

You STILL believe that a decades old word processing app would let you type for hours without periodically saving your work? Are you actually insane?
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
You just spend pages defending Microsoft for having no autosave feature on a word processor. Maybe time to re-evaluate.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
So to be clear, your claim is that Word never saved your file automatically every few minutes? Are you suuuuuuure?
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
It was removed from the MacOS version, yes. I’ve been using Microsoft Word since 2004.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
I was using it for years and they literally have an autosave feature on iOS right now. You can stop typing and force-close the app and it’ll save it to your iCloud (not OneDrive) flawlessly.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
I’m a professional writer who uses Word (out of habit). Let me assure you that it’s true. Autosave does not work on local storage or iCloud — only Microsoft OneDrive.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
Microsoft Word literally removed the ability to autosave. Your document is no longer automatically saved as you type, unless you pay for cloud backup. This would be hilarious if it weren’t so unbelievably dumb.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
We can agree to disagree. Office, for instance, is pure trash.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
Weird, it’s been at least a decade since I encountered a Microsoft product that wasn’t actively getting worse.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 5 months ago:
The problem with companies like Microsoft is that they’re rotten to the core. They don’t innovate anymore. They don’t make anything useful. If you make them more efficient, they’ll just suck ass more efficiently.

He sounds reasonable to me.

That’s the fun part: they were never ancaps at all! Even that incorrect conclusion would have required reading and curiosity.
