    But muh Single Page Apps... How am I supposed to remain fashionable if I don't use SPA frameworks?! All the other apps are doing it, they're all going to laugh at me!

    You're right, they just include intrusive spyware in the app itself and call it a day. At least that way they get the juicy data inside instead of hackers.

    That's just icing on the cake. They can generate extra revenue from gathering and selling user data like every other app does. The whole mobile ecosystem is completely fucked.

    This was a nationwide one-person one-vote plebiscite. Why is that not compatible with a democracy?

    Because it didn't come out the way they wanted it to.

    Well, looks like we're seeing what the Globalist response is going to be. The UK will be made an example of because they dared go against the Globalist agenda. I wouldn't expect any other countries to leave the EU, even if they want to. No matter what the benefits to a country who wanted to leave may be, they'll know they'll be treated poorly by the rest of the Globalist elite out of pure spite.

    If you want' constancy speak French.

    Fuck French, that stupid fucking language is the entire reason English is so fucked up in the first place. Every time you come across a word that doesn't make any god damn sense look it up and sure enough, orig. French.

    I'm ambivalent about the French in general, but their language is hideous.

    The metric system, not only makes much more sense than the imperial system, but is also the most widely used system of measurements.

    Even though both of these statements are true, they don't combine together to form some kind an unstoppable argument in favor of the metric system. Tell me, what is the advantage in having 120kph speed limits? "Oh, look I can go 120,000 meters per hour! See how easy that was to figure out?1?!?!??!" Or for weight, "Yup, I weigh 200 kilograms, and proud of it! Did you know that 200kg is the same as 200,000g? Amazing but true!"

    For science applications it's absolutely the best measurement system we've got. For mundane every day shit? There's no clear advantage over any other system, unless you just have a fetish for being able to convert arbitrary measurements into smaller ones for some reason.

    Maybe you can impress the ladies by expressing your dick size in metric, "Hey baby, wanna see my 17,000,000 nanometer cock?"

    They think they're looking forward to it, but the proof of the pudding is in the tasting and I can guarantee the Chinese hegemon won't taste so good.

    In any case, just having a powerful economy or military isn't a free ticket to global domination, they'd need to work for it and something tells me they wouldn't be unopposed.

    You've just explained perfectly why these kinds of systems don't work. You'll never get all the variables right and someone is always going to be left out. The more you try to make it exhaustive the more they're going to differ.

    Bias is endemic to the human mind, trying to invent technological and organizational work-arounds isn't going to work. Until we can embrace the fact that we are as different intellectually (i.e., opinions, biases, world views) as we are physically (skin color, body features, etc) we'll just keep going 'round and 'round in a vicious cycle of preferential treatment for this group or that.

    Equality of outcome is a pipe dream, the best we can hope for is equality of opportunity and there's still work left to do.

    Why should they bother? They've got this golden goose that makes them boat loads of cash and they have to do literally nothing to rake it all in. Have you ever looked at the failed abortion that is Greenlight? They don't give even the tiniest fuck that it's filled to the brim with absolute shit and that the shit is leaking into the main catalog.

    Still, even with as much as Steam and Valve suck, a FB run gaming platform will be worse. I suppose it'd be curated, at the very least. But FB hates its users and will kick them in the teeth in every way they can and the users will keep coming back for more.
