Do you keep it inside a purse or in a pocket with keys?
I got mine on launch and have zero scratches. I've even zoned out at work and started writing on the screen with a pen a few times, but it's still perfectly smooth. I grabbed a piece of metal and started scratching at my screen halfway through this post just to double check, and it's still fine.
If I'm feeling a little sick and decide to look up the symptoms, half the results are "alternative cures" that involve drinking olive oil, applying tea tree oil, drinking green tea (I think these people think tea tree and tea tea are the same) and BOOM cured. Just this week I was looking up a couple animal videos, and Youtube's sidebar recommendations were absolutely full of "natural cures" for various pet ailments. Of course, every single one mentioned olive oil in the title.
I can't even look up basic recipes or info about specific ingredients or even simple gardening info without half the results being things like spinach being some miracle food that helps treat/cure syphilis and cancer.
I'm sick of it. I'm not exactly in favor of deplatforming, but these people are spreading actively dangerous and outright wrong information. And for what? I know there are people out there seeking to profit by selling fake cures, but there are people out there legitimately saying you should just go to the store and buy olive oil (and it's always olive oil) and eat a few oranges and your diseases will go away--they don't get any direct benefit from the deception. WHY are there so many people out there saying this bizarre shit?
I think a beer can help with anxiety. A few beers just results in overconfidence.
I will admit it helps with conversation if you don’t normally talk and you’re around equally drunk people, but a few beers plus a crowd of sober people doesn’t work as well as most people think it does.
Personally, I've made mistakes in daily normal tasks and know how it feels to have people make an issue out of little things. If the end result is the same (it goes in my gut and doesn't taste horrible), I'm not going to complain unless it's completely wrong. Paying for a $25 steak and getting chicken nuggets would be too far, but messing up a side won't ruin my day. It’s stressful working in a kitchen and I’d rather the workers not have too much trouble so long as the things I got taste fine.
I'm also unable to eat a certain common ingredient in cooking, and it's one that virtually every person on earth loves. I've found that complaining just results in them doubling that ingredient and I have no clue why. I've even gotten visible spit in my food before. Picking that ingredient out myself instead of mentioning it is usually better. I've grown a bit of tolerance for not getting what I want.
If I get a different package, it's probably not serving the same role, so I'll complain.
JavaScript these days is incredibly heavy. Most phones this year don’t have any trouble, but you can feel a huge difference between, say, a typical 2018 phone and a 2017 phone in rendering speed. If you’re planning on keeping your phone for a few years, you’ll notice.
We might get a lot, but it likely won’t be enough.
Many land owners would already prefer to leave their buildings empty for years over even considering negotiating on rent. I doubt anything can change their minds.
I think 8ch is something you already had to actively seek out. I've never come across a link to 8ch in the wild. I've only seen it in discussions of fringe extremist communities on the internet.
My concern with big companies deplatforming political extremists that weren't in the public eye is that it almost validates their "they don't want us saying XYZ because it's true" points. Not that their political shit has any basis in reality, but when impressionable people see that they actually are being squeezed out of the internet, it leads many of them to conclude that their other points are valid.
Right now, loads of extremists are taking to Discord and other private chats to discuss their points and recruit people. Inside those tight-knit private groups, there's no possibility of a random passerby to stop in and offer a dissenting view. They see their discussions as the absolute reality of the world. Pushing them deeper into those groups feels far more dangerous to me.
