I truly did not get that complaint until I left the NY/NJ area. Wow, it is shocking how bad restaurants are here in the US outside of a few regions. It makes me realize why so many New Jerseyans end up coming back!

What the fuck is the purpose of having a civilization if everyone lives like a puritan instead of enjoying their lives, also Japan exists to disprove this

Japan is blessed with incredible natural ingredients, but it's famously mild and light on seasoning compared to other Asian cuisines. There's a whole historical tradition as to why Japanese food avoids strong flavors: https://www.sushiya.de/en/washoku/shojin-ryori/

Bad and expensive.

If you were right, it wouldn't be so egregious. Unfortunately, due to lower hiring standards, expedited processes, and a general nonchalance towards the law, plenty of legal immigrants, green card holders, and even natural-born citizens have been wrongfully arrested by ICE because they fit the profile of who they're looking for. Just look up "ICE deports legal immigrant", and you'll find dozens and dozens of stories about various cases involving it.

And regardless of if it's intentional, if it's negligence, if it's just an acceptable margin of error, either way, if you're a legal immigrant, you very much do still have to worry about ICE.

Yeah, that's what the attendant is paid to do (I live in New Jersey). They've tried many times to make self-serve gas legal here, and I won't have it!

No, they also manipulate these people and convince them into doing terror attacks they otherwise wouldn't. Essentially, the FBI radicalizes them, encourages them to do terror attacks, and gives them the means, then "stops them". It's a disgusting pattern of behavior. Had the FBI not been involved, they would not be dangerous.

Yeah, just IntelliJ and PyCharm (it's in the IntelliJ repo), that is correct.

The two cents are not literally monetary - your opinion is literally the two cents. You're contributing your understanding to the shared pot of understanding and that's represented by putting money into the pot, showing you have skin in the game. It's contributing to a larger body of knowledge by putting your small piece in - the phrases you suggest don't have that context behind them and in my opinion are worse for it. The beauty of the phrase is because the two cents are your opinion, everyone has enough, because everyone can have an opinion.

The lens through which you're analyzing the phrase is coloring how you see it negatively, and the one I'm using is doing the opposite. There is no need to change the phrase, just how it's viewed, I think.

And if the button doesn't work, what should pedestrians do?

Walk? Waymo already stops at crosswalks (marked or unmarked) if a pedestrian looks like they are crossing or starting to cross. That is more than I can say for human drivers. I’m confused why you don’t think this is just a win for pedestrians given how messed up things are now.

One just came out. Only one on the market I know of. It's called the Unihertz Titan 2, and I'm typing this comment on one. It's got a blackberry style keyboard and runs pretty close to stock android. I recommend swapping their default keyboard out with swiftkey, though the default one isn't terrible - swiftkey just gives me a few conveniences like emoji suggestions. It has play services, so it works.

I poked around a bit, and this might do what you want: https://github.com/Steam-Headless/docker-steam-headless

Wow, that actually might seem like a viable alternative. Thanks a bunch, will check it out!

That's not a red flag, almost all news sites are like that now, unfortunately. It's due to the ad revenue model, they don't want you to click away. Pick some reputable news sources you can think of and see if they link their primary sources - it won't be many.

I ignore almost all news sites now, fortunately, and built my own that links to its primary sources. A different revenue model makes this possible.
