Seems like a straightforward solution to a simple problem. Pretty direct correlation with kids having access to smartphones vs declining grades and attention spans.

In schools that have started simply allowing phones in class, grades have improved. This seems like the next logical step. Its basically just returning to pre-smartphone days. Schools used to confiscate phones if you had them out at all during school hours.

People will disagree with simple solutions, but those are often the ones that works. Phones cause problems, get rid of phones. Simple and direct.

Yes, and for centuries, leaving your house while drunk to go get food was a viable option because walking or riding a horse while drunk is a lot safer than driving a car.

Then we got cars, and the roads became dangerous. And yes, there was a brief period where there were no delivery services from restaurants. But very quickly, restaurants realized they could get more sales if they offered to deliver food to people for reasons like the many I listed above.

So to be clear, are you pining for that brief period of time a handful of decades long, between the time of cars being widely adopted and restaurants offering delivery and using that as an example for something you believe everyone should return to?

They ordered pizza or Chinese or some local store that had their own delivery drivers. That doesn’t exist anymore. Stores outsource their deliveries to companies like door dash.

Oh sorry, was this supposed to be some dumbass “gotcha” that completely ignores reality?

Yea dude. Not wanting to drive after drinking is just laziness.

Because if your car has broken down, or you’re exhausted from a long day of work and your family is hungry, or you’re too drunk to safely drive but still want food, or if you straight up don’t have a car and don’t want to cook that night, or you are on vacation at a hotel or airbnb and don’t have other access to food, or you have a baby that you can’t just leave alone for a few minutes to go pick the food up, or you are in the middle of a study session and it would be more convenient to have the food come to you rather than going to get it.

Looks like there’s lots of reasons people might take advantage of the service that can deliver food to them, and it’s not unreasonable for them to expect that service to not completely fuck it up.

I was so surprised I didn’t see Wolfenstein further up. They are like THE Nazi killing games.

I mean, the last one is actually true. ANY advancement in space travel is worth it. If you don’t understand why, you are not thinking long term enough.

Counterpoint: Dandelions

Pretty much the perfect plant that has nothing but positive benefits. People just decided they were a weed despite them being great for the soil, great for bees, lush, resilient, and literally every part of them being edible.

It’s when a ruler is in a military dress uniform with a tall, feathery, hat.

So what’s your opinion of the US working class?

And fucking golf?

Not sarcasm, but a bit of hyperbole. There is no court mandated maximum IQ for cops. There was an incident where a candidate was rejected because he scored too high on an IQ test. The candidate sued for discrimination, but the courts said that it wasn’t illegal for them to reject him on that basis alone.

One thing always pained me about that series. I know it’s whole thing was that every episode followed pretty much the same formula, but I wish they had one episode that was just House working in the clinic for a day and diagnosing like 40 patients in a row. We get a few small scenes when he has to spend a few hours there dealing with the general public, but they’re few and far between.

But can you count…

Aaaaalllll the way…
