never understood why kids are taught to look left twice. the first look is redundant because the second one updates your knowledge about the traffic situation anyway. just look right and left.

I know, but isn't the point that Google Messages is interoperable with other implementations such as T-Mobile's or Verizon's?

well RCS is to be the successor to SMS, which I believe was also introduced by GSMA

: Also I’m not sure why everyone is championing RCS - it’s yet another proprietary communication standard like iMessage and isn’t open thus can’t be easily implemented in other chat apps.

RCS is an implementation of GSMA Universal Profile and is interoperable with it

And I know this joke as:

Do you know why are elephants' eyes red?

(why?)

So that they can hide in cranberry trees

(I've never seen an elephant in a cranberry tree)

That's because it hid so well

There are non-alcoholic drinks in bars too.

none of them would go to a bar if they didn't mean to consume some drink -- therefore we can assume all of them knew whether they wanted a beer or not.

Yeah I see your other comment now. I think the reason me and [email protected] misunderstood your point is that the original comment you replied to said:

Sometimes jobs getting automated does not create sustainable jobs to replace them. That’s just going to happen more often as time goes on

to which you replied:

Which is just another reason upon the mountain of reasons that capitalism is a terrible system and cannot be allowed to continue

implying you oppose technological advancements of any sort if they create risk to peoples' jobs.

While I agree with the anti-capitalist sentiment, your anger is misaimed. Forcibly keeping nonprofitable jobs which are easily replaceable by AI is contrary to contemporary marxian-derivative theories (see Bullshit jobs by David Graber). We, as a society should seize technical advancements such as AI and automation to let people work less while allowing them to afford life. Thus contemporary economists and modern monetary theories are more and more open to the idea of universal basic income.
