  • Basically all American fast food places in other countries are infinitely better than the US. Because they almost always have to deal with more stringent advertising and quality requirements and actually have to compete with real restaurants.

    Hell the only real advantage in the US used to be price, but they're now the same price as a full restaurant option, and take about as long. The only reasons they still have customers are nostalgia/habit and people just assuming that because McD's prices went up so much during the pandemic-era inflation, everywhere else must have as well.

  • Existing = death to them. A brick is just the poor excuse.

  • So only 2 traditional seasons worth of episodes.

  • Every time I see posts like this I wonder what devices or software you guys are using that don't support these newer formats? Because I have never had any issues opening or sharing any of these formats in any way on any device. The format is backed by Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla, among others. That doesn't leave much out.

  • Probably they think they can hide behind the Coast Guard not technically being a military branch. As if anyone else is stupid enough to accept that excuse.

    Well, 43% of the US population polled I'm sure believes it. Because that section always believe whatever they're told without any thought.

  • Two options really...

    1. Scared by Trump's threats and not willing to fight like other firms.
    2. Support Trump.
  • Here's the thing, at firms like this, the prestige of being a partner at a firm that's been around since 1792 is a primary reason for being there. The money is secondary. And being known as the partners that destroyed the oldest firm in NYC, is a dishonor none of them want to be known for. It's what they'll be remembered for, not anything else they've done.

  • Oh no, there's going to be all sorts of government contracts paid out for this. THEN nothing will be done.

  • Knowing fascism... Genetic testing.

    On a serious note though, it probably doesn't even have much to do with the detainees, just the general employer testing everyone does. Maybe drug tests for the detainees.

  • Exactly. Simply being in a photo isn't damning by itself. Depending on where the photo was taken of course.

    Especially if you're a journalist in New York, Epstein worked in finance in NY for over a decade and was at many exclusive events.

  • Billionaire donors are complicit, maybe directly, maybe indirectly.

  • One could make the same argument about creating a more complicated solution when a simple one solves it for 99% of users. Especially when the remaining 1% will know the difference based on what they're doing, regardless of the icon used.

  • There’s a good reason that these two icons are currently different.

    Not really, it's just legacy, the same reason the save icon is still a floppy disk in most programs. That's what it's always been.

    You may make the distinction between saving a document and downloading a document, but most people don't pay anywhere near that amount of attention, and don't care about specifics.

  • Oh this is going to do nothing to make TikTok better in any way, or cause it's downfall.

    It just lets Trump's friends make money from it now.

  • Can't skip a generation, gotta go from the floppy disk icon to the HDD icon for a while first.

  • Why does it need to be separate? The end result is the same, the file on your device. Where it is coming from makes no difference.

    99% of users won't care at all.

    It's infinitely more accurate than a floppy disk icon.

  • For 99% of users, the specifics make no difference at all.

    It's closer to reality than a floppy disk icon, that's for sure.

  • I've always had mixed luck with Bluetooth file sharing on Windows. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it just doesn't seem to work at all. Even with the same exact devices.
