I don’t know about stigma, but the whole family is just vaguely dysfunctional. We can’t really spend any time together for more than a couple of hours before someone starts a fight, generally (but not always) on accident.

The car I’m interested in holds its value very well, so the lifetime cost is lower if I buy new. I’m also planning on being slightly less poor before buying it.
And regarding the “fired at will” thing, we don’t deal with it. We just kind of hope. I’m a little bit tistic, so I’ve been fired several times for not engaging in the proper amount of small talk. You get another job and move on.
Then people will find new things to do. The extra man hours can be dedicated towards the manufacture of luxury products, art, and other less utilitarian items.
I do worry about the transition period, however. Mass unemployment isn’t a permanent problem, but in the short term it can be a very severe problem.
In the words of my old economics teacher, subsidizing a steel plant just because you don’t want to fire people may be inefficient, but do you really want to go walk in and tell a bunch of big steel workers their work is no longer worth it?
They likely do. While they are extremely ineffectual, our state assistance agencies are staffed by very well intentioned people.
The problem is the corruption at the top, in political positions, and the idiots thinking they should pull the ladder up behind them by defunding everything that isn’t a police or roadway agency.
I disagree. IE was incredibly proprietary, and SMS is at least an open standard.
IE is…idk Facebook messenger or Imessage or something.
I think that one is pretty popular. Popular “smart” products are usually only smart to and make the manufacturer some extra scratch after sale.
And car touchscreens are either disliked, considered a status symbol, or considered necessary in order toobtains another feature. Very few people actually like them.
I agree, but I definitely think we reached a high point a decade or two ago. Windows switched to that weird hybrid GUI with 8, and websites now are obsessed with whitespace, scrolling fuckery, and the like.
While word 2003 was probably the high point for that product, I don’t think that about windows, Linux, or the web.
It is, but android Roms with good privacy features are relatively few and far between.
