  • This is my pet theory as for why it's so common in scifi for some ignorant Earthling to easily pilot a totally unfamiliar alien/futuristic spacecraft: as technology improves, so does ease of use. By the time a civilization has mastered interstellar travel and antigravity and so forth, a truly user-friendly interface is a solved problem.

  • Trump says he’ll have the ‘honor of taking Cuba’ and can do ‘anything I want with it’

  • How can you have any Cuba if you don't eat yer Iran?!

  • I've found myself in a similar situation to OP, where a given app presumes that everyone is using gestures and conflicts with the buttons, and I don't appreciate it.

  • Can't click my app controls!

    Jump

  • I don't care about that small amount of extra screen space, and I don't like gestures, and I should have the ability to choose which solution I prefer.

  • My dad is an alcoholic and I'm convinced that I've inherited certain vulnerabilities to addiction. I've never had a problem with alcohol, but by God, when I get into a regular full-caf coffee habit, and then I miss one or two cups, the withdrawal symptoms hit me hard. I've been trying to slowly lower my ratio, but it's hard to even contemplate going totally decaf when I've got a retail job and I'm a little scared of trying to deal with customers and withdrawal headaches at the same time.

  • What TV show traumatized you as a kid?

    Jump

  • I barely remember the details, but yeah something like that. But I was just a little kid, and that repeated mantra of "Someone's at the door" fucked me right up.

  • One would hope that a society could address more than one ill at a time, and that we could deal with rampant gun violence while also trying to ameliorate the harms from highly-addictive social media. I wouldn't go so far as to say that we're seriously dealing with even one of those at a time, but it sure would be nice!

    That said, you've also got to look at the probability that a given population is going to face a given harm. School shootings are appalling, and we should be doing something (any of the dozen perfectly viable somethings clearly available) to stop them. But the actual number of kids who will ever get shot at is a fraction of a fraction. On the other hand, literally every kid in the world is a target for the harms of addictive social media. Hell, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if, in the process of addressing the widespread psychological harms of social media, we might also measurably reduce the number of mass shootings.

  • Anyone know where I can buy or get books by the pound to start a new library for our local jail. To help them read and prep them for a GED?

    Jump

  • Find a small used book store. Odds are very good that they discard quite a few books in any given week, not necessarily because they are garbage, but because they just haven't sold, or they have too many copies, or they might have comparatively minor condition issues that preclude them from selling in the store. They may give them to you, or sell them to you at a steep discount.

  • I can listen to podcasts at 1.1x speed, and it basically just sounds like they tightened up their delivery a little bit. More than that and it sounds artificial.

    I might go as high as 1.25x for some review videos, but I get the distinct impression that those guys are slowing down their delivery so as to pad out the runtime.
