It’s almost a certainly that all current life on earth has the same common ancestors. It makes sense for a ton of reasons.

For example all living organism have dna, and they all use the same 4 nucleic acids that their dna is made from. Neither of those facts are necessary requirements for life to exist, so since 100% of life does both of those things then that’s very strong evidence that 100% of life had a common ancestor.

Yep, literally every single living thing has a common ancestor.

Monkey? Yep.

Tree? Yep.

Octopus? Yep?

Mushroom? Yep?

Bacteria? Yep.

Oy, dude, no. You couldn’t prove my point any more clearly

Ridiculously pretentious comment, and at least half of it isn’t even meaningfully true.

🙄

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.

Most phone screens have the same or more pixels than most computer monitors

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.

Hang on a second, you’re saying that music is mainly about how things SOUND!!! That’s a brand new revelation!!! 🤣

I don’t think it’s necessary. Generally people who get acid reflux know exactly which foods exacerbate it. And i don’t believe it causes the level of effect on teeth health as you imply.

In other words just like with all the other values that already got added to the nutrition labeling, you’d have to make a strong science-evidence-based case demonstrating that it would be meaningfully helpful to add it to the listings.

Good weather activities! Like:

Biking! Street Fairs! Free concerts! Farmers markets! Parades!

Hm, got a source for that? It’s not hard to believe, but I’d need a source before i do

Of course plenty of American schools offer Chinese language courses. It’s odd that you assumed with total confidence that the opposite was true.

I’d say it has to be things you believe to be true. If a wacko is scrolling for hours on nonsense about how the covid vaccine inserts a mind control chip into your brain and how the leftists are going to come to your small town and force your kids to be trans - then that’s still doom scrolling.

I bet that’s a slightly unfair representation of what it actually looked like. Graphics back then were purposely designed for how they would look on CRT tvs which add a lot of specific distortions to images. So taking a screenshot of a game running in an emulator without using a high quality crt filter added to the image will be a very untrue representation of what the game actually looked like.

(Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it actually looked great when displayed correctly, but i am saying it would’ve looked considerably better than this emulator screenshot)

You’re mixing up two very different things. In your post you asked how you should respond in the general situation of someone asking if you could do them a favor, and so that’s the question that people answered on this page. But then in your replies you try to apply those answers to a totally different situation.

Here’s the answer to the question you asked, and then the answer to the question you were trying to ask:

• If a person simply asks if you could do them a favor, then all the replies on this page apply.

BUT

• If a person is rude to you first then you are justified in being rude back to them.

You think it’s strange to ask a stranger for help? That sounds like a cold world to me

It was all a scam setup by his manager. He was never gonna wind up anywhere remotely near a battle
