Your house sounds awesome to look at, but my ADHD wouldn’t allow me to live there. Nothing would get done, and my family would die when the house collapsed.
I fucking know a guy who claims he’s got no idea what heartburn is, and that he’s never had a headache. He’s about 70 years old and is probably the happiest most joyful person I’ve ever met.
I can live-stream myself performing a public execution in front of a crowded stadium full of people, and plead not-guilty. And the presumption of innocence before the court means I can do that as much as I want regardless how obviously guilty I may be.
And like it or not, that’s better than the alternative. A presumption of guilt before the court opens oneself to much more easily be wrongfully imprisoned for crimes you didn’t commit. Not accounting for obvious injustices that have occurred due to shortcomings and corruption in the system, these initial principals give us the best shot at having a system that’s less likely to fuck us than not.
So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?
Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.
It’s less about having one physical charger and more about having one charging cable standard so you’re not wanting for one cable when you mistakenly grabbed another…. You can have 50 charging cables and 50 bricks for all 50 of your devices if you’d like. The convenience comes with the fact that they all take the same connector. Standardization simplifies life and actually will make upgrading cheaper because you’re not locked into a proprietary standard.
I can completely empathize with not wanting to update all of your chargers, but as someone who has recently gone through part of it, I’m 110% onboard with everything being unified like this.
So this isn’t a picture of fans trying to touch one of their heroes… this is a picture of a hostile fan base trying to intimidate a rival player. Duke-UNC is one of the biggest rivalries in all of college basketball, and those are Duke fans trying to fuck with a UNC player during the game.
You can have any B-tier superpower you like. What do you choose?
I’d be Cables Don’t Tangle Man.
