I was literally talking about this with my fiancee and I agree with you. The Borderlands movie should have been Borderlands 4 and been a direct continuation of the games, then the next game is just borderlands 5.

It would have been on theme for the franchise.

They're gonna do the delay tactic too but this is more insidious.

The amount of money the husband is asking for isn't all that much, pennies to them and in the greater scheme of things this is a nothing suit to them, low stakes. Since it's low stakes they're trying this tactic first to see if it'll stick and create that dangerous precedent. I don't suspect it'll go through but with all these right wing pro capitalist judges it might, and it's worth trying for them since it's such a low stakes suit.

Yea I'm aware they use plastic for everything, but they also recycle everything possible.

It's all propaganda. They do that in japan and for those that are gonna say japan is a first world advanced small country, they do that shit in Mexico too. I've lived in a number of states across Mexico for nearly a decade and from big cities to tiny towns you can bring back your glass bottles to the shops and they forward it to the delivery people to be returned to be sanitized and reused. All the big companies do this, you pay a smidge extra on that first bottle and from then it's cheaper if you return the empty when buying a new one.

If the US based companies don't do it it's because they don't want to, not because they can't. I know for a fact coke does it in Mexico.

Yea I was about to mention. Japan is probably propping up that number since they recycle pretty much everything.

They sorta are, plenty of options for cheap quality untilited phone plans out there even with international included and very few people actually need a state of the art 1k phone to make payments on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not policing how people should spend their money. All I'm saying is that plans are from the past and don't need to exist, like faxes.

Back in 2012 apple won a UI patent and we know how those megacorps do. No idea to what extent but that sorta stops any big contenders on copying them. The multi year contracts are a meme from the past but it's the same sort of people who aren't techliterate enough to learn a new UI, that keep with the contracts.

See my other comment.

Tldr: Parents make sure to teach their kids not to shit on the ground.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

A little. Hands on parenting is what they need. I made sure my baby brother is tech literate when my mom is 100 percent not. He just graduated highschool this year. Sure some of the blame is on tech but kids don't know how to shit in a toilet either and parents make damn sure they learn as quickly as possible.

Can't really blame them either, it was our generation that dropped the ball in making sure they were more tech literate than us. Not that I have kids but still.

As someone who's used and uses both for work and isn't a fanboy of either, sorry but apple does not have an easy to learn interface. It seems like every single choice they made was done to just be different from the alternative, more often than not to the detriment of the user. If they lock people in to how their ecosystem works low tech people can't easily change.

What are the odds they send a "manager" who has that authority and they just 'happen' to be a lawyer? Also, would that be legal? I don't see why it wouldn't as they could just claim they are there in their capacity as a manager.
