We really do.

I’m in Virginia. I’ll go for the water one. Get all that Atlantic up in me. Between the microplastics and bioluminescent life- I think that’s the right choice for me.

The addition of the backstory on Zuko’s crew was a very nice touch. Cautiously optimistic on season two.

Hail you!

I don’t disagree with Mr Fraser’s observations, but … hasn’t Hollywood always been this way? If one wants cinematic art, it’s never come from these big studios.

I’m sure it is. My point is - what do Lemmy users expect out of a for-profit company operating inside of a capitalistic economic system? Saying “no” to China’s LGBT hating demands is impossible in this situation.

Please please please be a good phone. I feel like that’ll be great. I’d like a Linux phone, but I can’t see that shaping up as a Linux reliable daily driver in the next couple of years.

I’d love to give this a simple upvote. What is Tim Cook’s choice here? Operate illegally in China until the government shuts down their entire source of revenue in an entire market which, also, is the one that produces nearly all of its hardware?

If he doesn’t do it - shareholders will remove him in the blink of an eye and replace him with someone who will.

Where I’m agreeing though is - my current phone is my last Apple phone. I’ll be going with Graphene after this. I don’t want corporations telling me what software I can and can’t run on my decides while surveilling me.

Disclosing things is too hard for ultra profitable economic parasites. :(

Not by a long shot. It’s mainly just Walmart. There are others, but they’re the exception, not the rule.

I worked in retail for about ten years. The company I was at did make a big deal about making a customer feel welcome, which might incidentally involve greeting a customer at the door, but we certainly were too busy to have someone perpetually posted up at the door like Walmart. Any sort of “greeting” we might have done would be the same as I what I experienced in Ireland or Italian retail where if I was approaching an employee, I’d get the local version of “hello”. Didn’t strike me as being very different.

So, no, the American retail space that has a dedicated greeter is fairly uncommon.

Public funds spent on anything that generates something that could be considered “intellectual property” should be public domain. Beyond software my first thought is pharmaceutical and general medical research.

“Solve” and “Coagula”?

The game begins with a tutorial.

Why would I be remiss to be confused as to why there is a tutorial, but not include any mention of the existence, let alone the use, of a basic weapon?

Further, yes, I expect all products to tell me about their features.

I’d encourage you to look into Chris Green, a cop in East Liverpool, Ohio, United States. This horseshit seems to be traced back to this guy.

Hahaha here I thought I’d just missed something in the beginning of the game. Turns out the game just doesn’t bother to teach its players how to play it.

No. Your argument is for fools. The argument that a country with a population of 345 million produces less carbon dioxide to pollute the planet’s atmosphere with than a country of 1.42 billion people is nonsense and contributes nothing to any conversation at all. The per capita comparison is what matters, but it’s not used by the people that just really want us to believe “China == bad”. Seems like they’re successful at it based on this interaction, sadly.

Correct and correct.

As always - well under what USA is putting into the atmosphere. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co-emissions-per-capita

Well Showrunner smiled, had about as much teeth as a Jack-O-Lantern - and I went on to tell it how I would wear its face like a mask as I do my little kooky dance. And then it told me to shush. I guess it could sense my desperation.
