  • If I have to I’ll start using clamshell flip phones but they need to figure out the crease problem and durability problem. I had a Motorola razer 1st gen a few years ago that I loved except for the fact it stopped working after 6 months. The touch screen stopped working and the lcd started to turn green until the only sceeen that worked was the small outer screen.




  • Your employer has policies for dealing with shrink/theft. They assuredly don’t include confronting the shoplifter. It sucks because you were just trying to act in the best interest of your store. It sucks to lose your job, it sucks to not be given a second chance based on your history. I’m guessing there is probably liability/reputation concerns that is keeping corporate from just giving you a warning. Its not that they don’t care about you, actually it is because they don’t care about you, the dollar value of the risk of lawsuit/bad press became higher than what it costs to replace you.

    I agree with you mostly. And censoring swears from media aimed at children, doesn’t prevent kids from wanting to experiment with the taboo. But I’d rather have children’s media model good behavior, and while swearing isn’t always profane or disrespectful, it often is. And being able to differentiate the context is a learned social skill that kids won’t master until that kind of content is appropriate.

    This last quote really has nothing to do with my argument but I just like it. “Profanity is the linguistic crutch of inarticulate fuckheads”. I want to teach my children to articulate themselves well and save the profane for when it makes the most impact.




  • Cloudflare sells domains at cost. If you use apple devices and pay for iCloud+ ($1.99 a month for the cheapest plan), you can get email hosting for your domain for the entire family + a catch all address.

    You can run an email host yourself but it is going to cost more in time and effort to maintain than just paying for hosting. It’s not very professional if your messages go to spam due to low reputation or if you miss a message/someone gets a bounce back because the container running your mail server was down and you didn’t realize

    Run mail on a custom domain for fun, to learn what it takes, but don’t do it for mail that really matters



  • Kids also have different attitudes on what constitutes value to them. So while parents see robux as total ripoff, kids don’t have the experience of playing a game and receiving the whole thing and not being expected to pay real money to skip the hard parts.

    Kids aren’t the only ones who waste their money on frivolous gaming transactions though. Millions of adults by battlepasses for games or we wouldn’t have that crap in games either.





  • I’ve put some thought into how to respond to this but I just can’t get past “capitalism bros” so I’ll just say this, you can criticize the current market economy system most of the west has without being a full on communist. And those that are content with capitalism aren’t going to go out of their way to be a “capitalism bro”. So of course dissenting voices to the current status quo are going to be amplified here. Try to learn from others perspectives instead of seeking validation

    An open area where he can run around is probably best. Depends on where you live and your cat’s preferences. I’ve heard of cats that have no desire to leave the house and others that will dart out the door at any opportunity. If you have an apartment or no fence in the back yard then it’s not a great option. Some cats do like to walk, our neighbors’ cat usually joins us on our nightly walks through the neighborhood. Off a leash of course.

    #1 Pets are like teenagers, they are gonna try to have sex without you knowing.

    #2 I don’t think it’s healthy or ethical to keep an animal indoors 24/7. Even pet animals need unstructured (not unsupervised) time outside to have play and use their instinct beyond just taking them for a walk. I’d apply that equal to dogs and cats although it’s probably more important for dogs.
