Changing the electoral system would be a minor improvement? So you're talking about some city level elections or do you actually think that changing how presidents and representatives are elected would only be a minor change?

I think Blackberry had the right solution with their Hub app. It was just a big inbox with a lot of integrations. It would show you all the conversations from different apps (including email) with all the typical filtering, sorting and searching. You had a single screen to see all your conversations nicely organized but clicking on a message would take you to the external app to send messages. It was super useful but of course apps had to provide some API for this to work and BB wasn't popular enough so at some point it just stopped working. Android could easily do this but I think they are just not as good at UX as BB was (seriously, BB OS10 had lots of great features iOS copied a decade later and more, it was really nice).

WTF? Have you never met a kid in your life? Kids are stupid, their brains are still developing. You can't just reason with them, explain that the thing they want is stupid and that they should actually want something else. It gets worse with teenagers, they think they are actually smart and stop listening while thinking that every choice they make will have a huge impact on their entire life. Telling them to "suck it up and find some other friends" has to be the most pointless thing you can do.

Look, I hate kids, don't have any and never will but even I understand how fucked up it has to be for your kid to be excluded from activities because they don't have a phone or have the wrong one. Being a parent now has to really suck. All kids bond over things that are bad for them (social media) so you pretty much have to choose how do you prefer to hurt your kid: by giving them a phone or by making them an outcast.

Introduce ranked choice voting.

Out of curiosity, why do people write things like that? There's 0% change of this happening. Are you delusional and propose this as actual solution or are you so disillusioned that at this point you don't even care about actual solutions and just want to play fantasy politics?

I speak some Russian and a bit of Arabic on top of the 3 other languages I'm fluent in so yeah, I guess I'm good.

How did they verify your age?

Nope, it's third. Jealous?

Oh, so you just felt bad about being American? That's pretty sad.

The desire of some people, even family, for revenge is not a good enough reason to murder someone. Such desire is perfectly natural for an individual but a state should be above this. The state should be caring for the good of the society as a whole and killing people doesn't bring anything good to it. This is something Europeans understood long time ago but Americans most probably never will.

Switzerland actually (but I was closer). I thought it was supposed to be instant not take minutes to lose consciousnesses. Struggling to breath for 10 seconds would be terrible. Minutes? No thank you. This definitely doesn't make it look any good.

In Spain they just let you drink a lot of pentobarbital at home. It's supervised by a doctor and hundredths of people already did it without issues. The pod is just a gimmick.

Even more alternate take: Ukraine got a sympathy win like in Eurovision?

Who even operates them?

You're not going to believe it but it's Donal Trump.

Anyone still want to use the cool nitrogen based suicide pods from Austria?

She's dead. Killing more people won't make her feel better.

Sure it is. Platforms could for example close online sign ups and make people go to a physical location to open an account. Just like with banks. This of course will not pass but the issue is not that you can't enforce age limit. Banks do it. Online banks also do it. The issue is that enforcing this would kill the platforms.

Exactly. She also doesn't have to worry that the guy she's dating saw it and will dump her or that her co-workers saw it and are spreading rumours at work. She has to worry about her multimillion dollar brand which is something other women don't really have issues with. It's terrible for her but to claim that she somehow represents other woman in this is ridiculous.

Same to you my friend, same to you.

Yeah, I'm sure next time she's looking for a job her potential employer will google her name and when he find this fake porn will not hire her. She will forever be haunted by this and her career and personal life will suffer. You know, every woman's nightmare.

I'm not saying that rent isn't high but I don't like this definition. 30% is not crazy high. I would say 20% is low, 30% is medium, 50% would be high.

If you want to race on a airstrip or a racetrack buy a race car and take it there on a flatbed. Driving racecars on normal streets doesn't make sense.

You will still have issues with people going 30mph in 20pmh zone but it's a good compromise: you're reducing the most deadly high speed crashes but the solution is extremely simple (it doesn't require GPS or image analysis) which means it will not have false positives, it will not affect the price of new cars and it will be better for privacy. It can also be retroactively applied to many existing cars so you could introduce it sooner.
