capitalism + tech = crap
i've just had to order our groceries on the grocery site's app because doing so would give me 15% off and we can't afford not to take that. but trying to do the actual product search and selection on my phone is so annoying that i did it all on the website, put everything into my basket, and then just logged in via the app to buy the stuff.
this makes me batey for some reason.

Pointless theological clarification because NONE OF THIS MATTERS, but:
the Rapture =/= the Second Coming of Christ =/= the bit where the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse show up
Also the Rapture literally isn’t in the Bible, it’s a fringe theological concept from the early 19th century gone weirdly viral
Like, steam-powered locomotives are older than the concept of the Rapture

Trump filed a lawsuit against ABC which ABC didn't fight. They just gave Trump the $16M, even though the case was so laughably bad Trump would have lost.
ABC thought that by appeasing Trump, they'd protect themselves.
They were wrong.
"I think we're going to test ABC out on this... Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers!"

"President Trump reversed himself on one of the key foreign policy issues of his presidency on Tuesday, abandoning his insistence that Ukraine give up land to strike a peace deal with Russia and instead declaring that Ukraine, with the support of Europe, was 'in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.' "

He ran on ending the war in days stating he supported a land for peace deal. He told the UN he ended 7 (other) wars.

in reply to laen 🍎 • • •OMG This, the main reason why I loathe most mobile interfaces because it is difficult to properly interact with them! Product search and selection is much more refined when using the website vs the app. It's bewildering and makes me want to sic 25 angry squirrels on the app designer (there would probably be a lot of annoyed chittering and blackmailing the developer for a larder of nuts, maybe a few scratches). ROFL
Few mobile app interfaces are refined enough to make them a delight to use. 😬
I'm glad you got your discount using a solid workaround!
laen 🍎
in reply to Doomful Presence • • •@WanderingInDigitalWorlds
bring on the angry squirrels!!
for me it's also that i just don't like having to interact with the world through a screen in general, but through a small screen that fits in my hand just seems daft. why should i have to buy my groceries through a keyhole? bah. and i don't think even the best UI on earth could solve that, it's just that we're not meant to do so much in so small a space!
but yes, workaround achieved. next time though i might keep a squirrel to hand, just in case ... 🌰

in reply to laen 🍎 • • •I certainly share your loathing for interacting with anything on a phone screen that is less than 6.2 inches (as my thumbs struggle at that stage).
However, interestingly enough, anything mobile device that is 6.5 or 6.6 inches in screen size, makes it easier for me to interact with smaller interfaces. I don't struggle, I thrive and can: quickly complete grocery orders, product research, and other tasks. I'm a weird person, I just adapt to things relatively quickly.
It is a valid statement to say that not all humans are meant to do so much in a small screen space. Some of us love the roomier interfaces that a Laptop or Desktop computer can provide. I will choose a larger interface over a smaller one if at home; if I'm out and about or don't want to wait to reach my PC while doing dishes...I use the smartphone.
Do keep an angry squirrel on speed dial, you never know when they can help! 🌰🐿️ (it's a chipmunk, honestly, truly! There's no emoji for a squirrel, 🤔).
