It’s not about being comfortable with your nudity, it’s about basic personal freedoms

Yes very unfortunately this ship sailed long ago, and a tiny fraction of people opting out accomplishes nothing at this point. When the 3D nudity scanners arrived i opted out several times, but not nearly enough other people did, so it was pointless. A single digit percent of people opting out accomplishes nothing, we need to stand together in large numbers to accomplish any change. But for whatever reason the large majority of americans have decided to roll over and let the government take away any of our rights that they want to

I think op was saying it’s interesting that it redirects rather than just an error

Ouch, sorry, my condolences

“May” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The last third of the article is all about how this is very unlikely to be true. As the saying goes - “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”, and this seems like pretty weak evidence.

Also fuck that headline. iirc usually the article author doesn’t get to write the headline, the editor does that. And often all the editor cares about is grabbing eyeballs

Exactly, this is what our brains are supposed to do.

Entirely believable, literally nothing is 100% the same for every individual person

Yeah for me 4 times a year would be ideal but i tend to put it off a lot even though the experience is always enjoyable

Meaning like a single therapy session? The answer is close to zero

iirc from research I’ve read it doesn’t matter if the trip is good or bad, it still relieves depression all the same

Just out of curiosity, how do you use it? Like you use your index fingers on the joysticks while your thumbs hit the buttons?

Weird how these kind of giant mistakes can be released. Is there no testing being done before release?

Looks like the standard result - outcomes are worst in Republican states, and best in Democrat states.

Paul Rudd. Deeply uninteresting to watch or listen to.

It makes total sense to me. A phone case is just a cheap piece of plastic that’s made using cheap mold-manufacturing, and cases last for the entire life of the phone, sometimes even living on through a couple of phone lifetimes.

But screen protectors have to be more rigorously designed, - making sure that the material works well between finger and each particular touchscreen, and it’s made using relatively much more expensive manufacturing processes like curved glass cutting, and people have to replace them every once in awhile because the purpose of a screen protector is to take all the damage that otherwise would’ve happened to your screen.

That doesn’t match my experience with phone hardware. Everyone i know has a bunch of old phones that’ve been handed down to kids and even more sitting in junk drawers, because they all still work. Yes a couple of them have cracked screens, but even with those the only reason why the screen wasn’t repaired is because people wanted or already had a newer phone.

Software is a totally different matter though. The OS and apps stop getting updates at some point even though the hardware is still totally capable of doing what most people want their phone to do. And even worse, many companies don’t allow a phone to revert to an older OS version, so the company pushes out an update that slows the phone down and then there’s no way to fix that.

The HARDWARE isn’t designed to fail, because the SOFTWARE is designed to let the company force the device to fail at whatever exact moment the company later decides on.

You’re misunderstanding. Yes there’s plenty of scientific evidence that excessive soda drinking harms your teeth, but that’s a totally different topic than whether listing pH level on nutrition labels would have any effect on public health.
