Triple the dose and he'll feel like his dad loved him.

There are pickled eggs, so maybe?

I can get that, but personally I haven't had much issue myself. I have 2 Samsung 34" ultrawide screens, and their model is LC33G55TWWN. I just tell people what I said before, 34" Samsung Ultrawides. They do have an easier name: Samsung 34” Odyssey G5 Ultrawides. Many others can be as ambiguous as your iPhone example, which also will have multiple actual model numbers, like A3084, A3295, A3296, A3297. Some are for specific regions, while one is global. You don't need to share that with others, but can be important in technical situations.

Most computer hardware I deal with have both friendly names and technical model numbers, like almost everything, from car parts, engine models, to washer and dryer parts. I had to use model numbers to find the right replacement lint filter on my dryer, instead of guessing on Amazon.

I suppose I don't understand the complaint, as friendly names definitely exist, while model numbers are extremely useful.

This just in, desk jobs that allow WFH don't exist.

As an IT person who has to tell a non it purchasing department what to buy, no. The code names are specific things that return the exact thing you want when searched on stuff like CDW and B&H, and having to explain exact drive space, memory, ecc vs non ecc would be torture. A simple code they can just copy and paste and get exactly what you want is far more efficient.

I enjoyed using them for a while due to a number of things, but now have stopped as my roommate and I trade off making meals for each other. Getting requests to join back in heavily misleading DO NOT BEND envelopes. Fortunately I don't get anything like phone calls

It's just a sentence said to defend the electoral college.

Eh, I don't really see an issue with it at my age, but I guess for younger people it could be bad. I'm in my 40s now, but aside from producing some data to be mined, I don't see how people knowing that hurts me.

I changed my mind about both religion and abortion in my mid 30s. All it took was more information and me stepping back to acknowledge some of my defenses were just my religion and I moving goal posts.

Still, with many other things that religion i always required repeatable proof, especially when I experienced it personally.

For example, I'm going to go a bit into details about an old online game, Final Fantasy 11. That game had several stats you balanced for nor.al attacks and for special build up attacks called weapon skills.

One Stat needed almost always for normal attacks was Accuracy. Now weapon skills could come in single or multi hit flavors, and people started using tools to figure out optimal stats for both. What they found is that the first hit of any weapon skill had a huge accuracy boost, while remaining hits did not.

So it was more optimal to not use accuracy in single hit weapon skills. Now an important caveat: 100% accuracy was hard coded as impossible. There was always a 5% miss rate, like with a d20 hitting 1. So 1 hit weaponskills missed 5% of the time mo matter what.

If you parsed the data over time, that would be obvious. However, to your own eyeballs and memories, you always remembered the full miss, and it would feel like you needed more accuracy. Data doesn't lie, but your feelings and memory do.

I learned from that that you can't just operate on what you feel is correct, you need to review the data to see what it says about the effects of your choices.

I learned how much having access to abortion helped poorer people, helped women,lowered crime, etc. So i changed my mind.

Organic may have. It gets people both on tge right and tge left, people who want more natural and less science/additives/pesticides, etc.

Often called woo woo stuff, it's generally alternative to mainstream stuff, and can be harmless, or could be Goop, Alex Jones stuff, anti modernity etc.

Vegans and environmentalists can also sometimes take those feelings to extremes also, though we should never blame the whole movement on that.

An example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitri_Devi

Her motivations to turning to fascism looks to have been at least helped by her passion for animal rights, as lots of people in Europe still tortured cats at the time and she kinda hated people for it.

Lots of Christian types aren't catholic, so wouldn't care what he said.

I always find tge "only on x" comments to be an incredibly stupid form as hyperbole. Either you're an idiot who doesn't realize people will say the same type of stuff on discords, forums, Twitter, Facebook, whatsapp, texts/dms, and a plethora of other places, or you do know and you just ignore it to criticize the platform for whatever reason.

Since you're attacking (as others pointed out) a decentralized platform that anyone can spin up (including Nazis and the like) by trying to make us a monolith, I'm leaning more to the first, but I guess you could just be a troll.
