I generalize millennials as too young to legally drink in the US (21) but old enough to remember the millennium. It's not completely accurate though.

Our options are. Orange: support Isreal turning all of Gaza into hamburger. Blue: doesn't publicly support genocide, but still supports isreal.

No good options. I'll pick the one with a possibility of not openly supporting genocide. It's so simple I think your cat could figure it out.

Power tools are sometimes the exception to the rule of buying cheap tools. Saws are probably the biggest exception. My cheap corded ryobi saw is awful because it's so flimsy, and the deck bends. The makita saw I replaced it with is 100x easier to use, more accurate, and safer.

Buying cheap tools applies to hand tools, air tools, hydraulic stuff, etc.

Firm disagree. Social media, or more specifically algorithmic short form content these days, is extremely damaging. It's different from anything that's come before and has nothing to do with connecting with your peers.

I graduated high-school in 2009 so I saw the beginning of popularized social media. Very few gained anything from participating in it. Mostly people who were good at marketing and building a following benefited.

Meh. Big screens don't make cars better. It's still a car, and basic functionality is more important than a big screen that lags or hides functions.

If that's all it takes for you to boycott, you should avoid everything. A few suffering pigs at one of Costcos suppliers is basically nothing compared to their size. It's good it's brought to light. But just like the article says, it's legal to do what they did, and all they need to do is kill them faster.

A mom broke up with her boyfriend. He returned later and killed her 3 kids, then her, then himself. The oldest son was in my class.

I wasn't great friends with him, but I knew him well enough to feel bad about it. So many people who hated him pretended to be sad for attention.

Mostly agree, I hate Samsung in general (sent from Samsung Galaxy S22). Anytime I see someone considering their appliances or TVs I try to turn them to something else. They have made the best batteries for a long time though. I hope a competitor rises to squish them a bit.

Don't buy a sumsung washer. I only buy used washers and dryers because I'm cheap and handy. Samsung is not an option because a large part of the user market is broken in a way that costs the same as buying new.

I do sort of disagree with your QA comment. Everyone seems to think QA stops once you sell a product, but it doesn't. They did a full recall to fix their quality mistake. It'd be like if Tesla finally recalled all of the cybertrucks for sucking as much as they do. Massive PR hit to attempt to maintain quality.

I only lurk on Reddit these days, but if old reddit goes away I'll be completely done with it.

Samsung was very transparent about their fuck up with the note 7. The article you linked makes it very clear it was a connection issue or a different manufacturer. At this point this is equivalent to the burn banana peels to get high or you eat dozens of spiders while you sleep internet lies.

So it's one of the companies contributing to the dying diversity online. Almost all of these websites and services have become awful without adblock or require a paid account.
