  • From the article: “In October, students at Assumption University in Massachusetts allegedly lured a 22-year-old man to campus, called him a predator and chased and attacked him when he tried to escape, according to a police report. After reviewing the man’s Tinder messages, officers said the man had thought he was meeting an 18-year-old student, not a 17-year-old, as the students had alleged.”

    Thats how. You lie.


  • Possibly the fact many customers don’t want it. According to three Apple CarPlay site:

    With digital car keys and the already seamless experience of Apple CarPlay, there are more ways than ever to take your iPhone on the road. With car keys, you can unlock and start your car with iPhone. And CarPlay gives you the ability to safely use what you love about your iPhone while you drive.

    I don’t have an iPhone, so from all the marketing blurbs, it’s pretty much saying “Spend a ton of extra money for something you can never use.” I’ll pass on spending $1000+ on that useless"upgrade". And since Apple is notorious about locking iThings to Apple only hardware (or just not having full functionality when they do allow it), I doubt I’m alone in this thought.

    This tired whataboutism… Really? Just stop.

    It’s the same answer as always, the iPhone/iPad was marketed and sold as a “do all” device (“IPhone, there’s an app for that” and the iPads “What’s a PC?”). Game consoles are sold as a limited functionality device. These aren’t the same at all.




  • Biggest issue is they had a huge marketing campaign based on all these things Apple Intelligence could do, with dates saying when it will come and that you needed to buy the newest iPhone for them to happen. Those dates have come and gone and still no signs of it. If the next iPhone comes out and they still haven’t released it, they risk a huge lawsuit of mis-advertising. It doesn’t matter whether users use the feature or not, it was advertised, and very directly.

    Normally, Apple is cautious/careful how they phrase things about their devices so they could back away if something doesn’t go right or doesn’t do what was suggested/implied. But they can’t this time.






  • Thing is, he is alienating every US ally, while trying to become allies with Russia. So if they try to do a coup of the entire country in 2 years while the US has no allies but Russia, no country would be able to help as it would internationally be seen as a “foreign invasion”. Only allies would be globally allowed to enter (in this case Russia) which wouldn’t. Any other country that attempts to enter would be declaring war/an invasion, with the US and Russia declaring that they are tempting WW3 since they aren’t an Allie and so have no reason to be getting involved (in accordance to international law).

    (It’s what’s happening in Ukraine now, no country is sending troops because it can quickly turn into WW3. MAGA is learning from Russia/Ukraine and will use what it’s learned to do the same thing.)
