Android had a dedicated comma button… I think where the mic button is by the space bar. And on Android you could press and hold letters for punctuation, not just accented characters.

It annoys me that I can’t long press for punctuation on iPhone SwiftKey, like I could with Android. Also, no comma button.

If you were restricted to just 700MM words, what would you say?

The warmest in 125,000 years so far.

Kijiji is pretty popular in Canada. Varagesale is another one I’ve seen.

I think it’s just the honour system, since I believe he still has his passports.

I don’t believe he’s allowed to leave the country.

I’m sure they will be able to farm other things… like food.

I wish we would have popped into a better existence.

Nothing happens before c. 4000 AD anyway.

I am, but I think this story is actually a somewhat noteworthy.

“Give up all your leverage and then maybe we’ll negotiate.”

Is it about the shipping lanes or keeping US Navy out?

I would argue that there’s one thing better than a union.

It’s everyone being paid fairly and being treated fairly.

It just seems like a scam to me. We buy things with credit cards to get the points and each transaction costs the merchant money. The merchant raises their prices to cover transaction fees, so now you’re not really getting points - you’re paying hidden fees that get some rewards points for (but not enough). The real scam is that it’s such a monopoly now (oligopoly?) that if you don’t pay with a credit card then you’re losing out - you’re paying inflated prices but not getting the reward points.

Now, some people have to pay with credit cards, but that shouldn’t be the norm. If you’re perpetually one month (ie, one payment) behind on bills, etc, then credit card makes sense, but that should be an edge case - just need to save for a month and then you’re good. (yes, lots of shoulds and wishful thinking there, I know, read the next paragraph).

If you fall more than a month behind on payments, the you’re paying some 20% interest, which is likely going to destroy you anyways. So living “a month behind”, while maybe the reality for many is likely to get way worse before it gets better.

I will acknowledge that CC companies provide things like insurance and liability protection. I think that if governments and/or banks could provide this, there would be no good reason to use a credit card beyond the odd big purchase. And realistically, some international transactions, as well, since it will take a long time before all our payment systems are integrated to that degree.

I’m sure the victims and their families will be pleased to hear that they were just collateral damage!

China has a huge population problem.

I downvoted it because my feed is already filled with Gaza-Israel war news and this is more human interest/niche. Not that people don’t need to see it, but it’s definitely some overload right now.

I’ve upvoted many articles on this topic this week – from multiple perspectives.
