also i hate they got rid of 3d touch because i actually liked it. force touch on a link and get a little popup with the image or text or whatever on it without leaving the page. although it is really inconsistent what things use it and where so i can see why its not a great ui feature

is imessage bad? or is it because you move between android and ios that it becomes a hassle?
and i haven't ever really messed with it because i guess i'm just used to it, but you can install keyboards from the app store, does that still keep the default one there or does it help your use case?
i like the earpods and mine are starting to fail can i have yours

Reply to comment by ellynu in i actually don't know why socialism is a good idea by twovests
Note that the critiques laid out in Capital in particular are fundamentally as true about the Soviet Union or the PRC as they are about the US, for example.

I'm gonna be that person who recommends reading Marx because it provides a bit of a different answer than the ones already given. (Plus its the answer I'd give anyways I guess :P)
The Communist Manfiesto is a good introduction. There's Capital. A Critique of Political Economy, (Volume 1 in particular was completed while he was alive) which is a bit large, but its pretty good and still incredibly relevant. Socialism: Utopian and Scientific talks about a distinction made in a lot of Marx and Engels' writing.
These writings use the terms socialism and communism interchangeably (as opposed to some of the other answers here) because of a fundamental difference in perspective. It's one that is talked about in the first and third writing I linked, and somewhat indirectly in the second.

"This was, however, also a very, very powerful reason to keep believing it was fake: that the most extraordinarily damaging piece of evidence against the president could just be waiting there, in plain sight, with no one doing anything about it."
hasn't that literally been the modus operandi of the past few years? john oliver even turned it into a joke about how WE GOT EM right?

it is weird how that dichotomy is because when you look at specific scenes and some shot choices and merchandising the way they treat women is so fucked up but the women in the story are really interesting and complex and an important part of the story to me at least was how they get mistreated (mostly by men). like if the protagonists are shinji and misato, then the biggest people around them story-wise are rei and asuka, and ritsuko and kaji (and the adults/teens reflect each other in neat ways, most noticeably with the protagonists)
evangelion has a lot of problems but it was super impactful on me as a young teenager so it still holds a place in my heart. its just hard for me to ever really recommend it to anyone without some caveats. >.<
