Self checkouts are great. When they work. When something goes wrong, I get to wait 10 minutes for a clerk who's busy checking out items for other customers. They're mostly fine for checkout with few items, though.

Agreed, and this goes for any religion that does it. But what really grinds my gears about (other) leftists defending this kind of religious expression is, this isn't something women choose. They're forced to and groomed from young age to cover themselves. Meanwhile, their brothers, fathers, sons all walk around free to wear shorts, t-shirts, etc. If men had to cover themselves the same way, then sure, at least there would be some level of equality. This is just plain old misogyny that has no place in modern societies.
However, with that said, there's a real possibility banning head coverings would ultimately hurt girls, instead of helping them. Good education and financial independence and stability in adulthood would give these girls a better and safer way to escape. Like with any other societal problem, it's complex and can't be simply "magiced" away.
We do read what you write, you're just wrong. Or maybe lacking compassion. Or just don't understand that everyone is different and that education systems generally suck.
When I was a kid, I had two classmates who had accommodations due to their learning disabilities. Nobody thought, hey, they should "be moved to the institutions that will force them to study", because they didn't not want to study. They just needed help. Did the rest of us feel threatened or jealous of them? No. We either didn't care or were happy they got at least a bit of help in this cookie-cutter system.
On the flip side, I was surrounded by straight A students in HS, but 99% of them forgot the material once they were graded on it and ultimately retained the same level of knowledge (sometimes less!) than me who was a B/B- student. And then people like that go on to be shitty doctors, because all they do is learn by heart with little to no understanding of the material, and the educational system rewards that.
The more I read your comment, the more insane it sounds.
This is what I had to do couple of years ago: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1500#note_1854170
It seems it has been fixed since.
Remove the yellow bubble and this is my brain to myself every day. It's genuinely exhausting at times, lol.
Same why I'm still on Reddit. I'm definitely not getting people who struggle with the same illness that causes fatigue and brain fog to spend more energy they don't have on switching to another platform that doesn't even come up when you type it into a search engine to seek support from other people affected by the illness. It's easy to say "don't use this, don't use that", if all they use these platforms for is for memes and messenger.
I had to create an account and use Facebook in my support job days, because that's where everyone was posting shift exchange requests. An entire department won't just switch to Signal for this just because the new person refuses to use anything not FOSS.
Same witht cars. I prefer not to use my car, and I'm happy that in my day-to-day life I can just walk, cycle or use public transit. But if I'm visiting my parents in the countryside of another country, I'm sure not spending—checks notes—9 hours on train with multiple connections instead of just under 2 by driving the car.
Do what you can to avoid using all these, but don't go to the extremes where you're not getting the info you need or getting to places you need to be. Should the the message.
What? We have them on all doors/windows in our apartment (in Europe) and they very much do not block any air.
I watch Sitting with Dogs YT series, and recently there was a dog in a Cali shelter whose owner went to LA and was disappeared by the ICE. The comments were absolutely vile, and I sincerely hope at least 90% are bots.
Like another person here explained, many of them hate using these thumbnails and titles. Unfortunately, they have to play these stupid games, if they want the dumb algorithm to advertise their content. YouTube all-around has become pretty awful for finding new stuff. Even the search is utter garbage. It's all about the shitty algorithm.
I've seen a comment complaining about too much oil on the recipe for... chilli crisp oil. Idiots are everywhere.

Quite a few in Austria, too. Mostly Rams. I remember one with license plate along the line of "Love USA", then one with a sticker "HATERS HOTLINE 0800-321-EAT-SHIT". A great tell that only assholes with insecurities drive these.
