  • People are saying it’s an individual issue but I will say that kids who grew up on iPads and iPhones definitely are less tech literate when it comes to using PCs. Utilizing file explorer or even a command line (gasp) is completely out of their comfort zone.

    If something doesn’t work like it should, they generally call tech support to figure it out rather than Google and solve it themselves.

    This is generally. I taught fifth grade math and science for five years and the lack of a true computer resource class has really hurt kids. I had to spend 4-5 weeks each year teaching 10-11 year olds how to use computers. What copy and paste is, how to sign on to programs, how to attach a document, how to navigate a web portal, how to type on a keyboard, how to navigate Google slides/powerpoint or Google docs/word, etc because before fifth grade they had iPads instead of Chromebooks. Out of the 40-50 students I’d have each year, maybe 2 would know how to do even three of these things.

    Most didn’t even know how to sign on because they were able to use faceid or use a QR code to sign in before fifth grade.

    The only pro that you make here that has anything to do with wireless headphones is #1, being untethered.

    Noice cancelling, an EQ, and audio quality have nothing to do with being wireless.

    Regarding latency, wireless mice have less latency than wired mice so I’m sure it’s possible but not with Bluetooth as the tech currently stands. Mic quality and pass through again, aren’t wireless-exclusive features.




  • It requires a front-loaded investment in infrastructure, which means lower returns for a few quarters.

    Most companies wanted people to use horses for as long as possible because that meant they had to adapt, change, and invest. Why do something that’s difficult when you can just do the same thing? This works out when you don’t really have competition because the cost to enter the market is so high due to decades of mergers and acquisitions, consolidating all means of production and materials to a select-few companies.

    Do we have concrete evidence that this is true? I find it highly unlikely Disney+ was hemorrhaging money considering all the parents that are indefinitely subbed to D+ for the Disney catalogue.

    Unless the original programming like all the Marvel TV shows (which are pretty low quality scripts) and the remakes (which are low quality) really cost that much to make.


  • Very true, but theoretically speaking, just because you’re living doesn’t mean you’re automatically admitted to heaven. When thinking of it like that, wouldn’t it be right to think that you’re not admitted to heaven rather than you’re being sent to hell?

    Plus I’m pretty sure that unless you commit a heinous crime, pretty much everything you do is basically ‘forgiven.’ Isn’t that why Jesus went on the cross in the first place?

    There are a shit ton of plot holes though and you’re absolutely right, you can’t argue with logic because the whole basis isn’t based on logic, it’s faith. You can’t argue faith with logic, just like you can’t have a fair debate when one party is using emotions and the other logic.
