Honestly, that wouldn’t even be so bad if the majority of them weren’t dicks.

I totally agree that the current institutions that are US police forces are terrible at best, having a police force in general is needed. Unless you’re talking about anarchy which while interesting, is a completely different conversation.

I suspect you don’t have kids? Most schools require a laptop (usually Chromebooks). What do you do then other than parental controls?

I second the multi-monitior comment. I absolutely love my fold and I think that’s a great analogy.

It’s hard to say it’s worth the money though. I personally think it is, but I wouldn’t recommend most people spend $1500+ on a phone in general unless they have a really specific use case.

I have a Pixel 9 Fold and I absolutely love it. I don’t think I can ever go back to a regular phone.

That said, the fingernail thing isn’t a myth. I have a “scratch” (more like an indent) where I tried to clean something off the screen with my fingernail. It’s not bad and just like the fold, it’s only visible in certain lights, so it doesn’t bother me but you definitely have to be more careful with the inner screen than the outer. Though I suspect it’s the built in screen protector, not the actual screen.

I just don’t buy it. I’ve worked at plenty of companies and I never saw it work that way. Sure, I’ve seen “we have to interview more candidates” or “we need to write our job applications to be more inclusive”, but I never saw “we need to hire the lessor candidate because they’re x”.

In my experience when someone is whining that they lost a possible job to a “DEI hire”, they’re usually just butthurt that someone was better than them.

I’d love to hear a coherent reason backed by facts and evidence about why DEI is bad?

Whenever someone tells me they don’t like DEI and I ask why, it’s always some unhinged spiel about women and immigrants taking their jobs.
