  • Do you not get cravings for food?

    Eating is enjoyable, and to eat different foods is a different experience. Different smells, tastes, textures. Some people enjoy the experience of eating meat, they enjoy the taste, the texture. When they quit eating meat for ethical issues they still remember that they enjoyed meat.

    So if you enjoy eating meat and only stopped due to the ethical issues, why wouldn’t you create a substitute?

    It’s like a lesbian! Just because you aren’t attracted to a man, or don’t want to be with one, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a dildo.











  • I learned recently that teachers in my area actually make decent money. Not like… Tech industry money, but for my area they make $30/h on the low end, $43/h median, and $52.60/h on the high end.

    That’s a decent living that most people don’t experience. I’m sure some places are awful for teachers though.




  • The issue is that if Google does create a competitor, or an open standards competitor is created, like RCS vs iMessage, Apple isn’t going to implement that, or in any way interoperate with it. So even if Google or someone else made a better system that worked beautifully on Android and any hypothetical alternatives, but Apple only implemented their own system and refused to share, things would remain shit. Which is exactly where we are.

    If Google had a popular competitor to iMessage, Apple users would feel left out, and that’s what would force integration.

    All they had to do was add sms to one of their chat apps, and people would have migrated over word of mouth for the extra features slowly overtime.
