No matter what so many people say, it's not mandatory to have a partner!

Invest your effort in figuring out how to live with yourself. Build a life worth living on your own.
A right person might come, or not. But at least you didn't waste your life chasing wrong goals.

Preempting all the "he was a man of his time" apologists:

Columbus was arrested during his lifetime because his actions were considered awful by his contemporaries.

tbh, up to 80 years ago Europeans were in constant war as well and nobody else drew their borders

The fact that they needed to receive a lot of complaints to reconsider makes me wonder - do they even do any kind of usability testing for their products? Anyone who even sat in a car with only touchscreen can tell you the experience is not comfortable.

And I don't think it's just about the price of physical buttons. Buttons are a selling point right now, they could charge a small premium (not in the thousands but ~$200 certainly.

Problem? Isn't this the goal of any company - make a lot of money, primarily for the shareholders, but in this case employees are also the shareholders themselves. They are not a charity, they're in this to make money.

One of the rare example of success in capitalism.

(and maybe a taste of what different systems could achieve if we didn't separate ownership and employment)

Tldr: No details emerge other than empty platitudes.

Guess whatever really happened is too embarrassing to share publicly on either side.

Fuck mobile operators, this kind of cost should be illegal to exist at all.

"Never buy a new car" - the argument being they depreciate quickly, and newer used models are "just as good".
Nope, got burned twice in a row and wasted more money than if I'd bought a new one immediately.

All the mental gymnastics they do just to avoid outright increaseing prices....

thought he was having a nervous breakdown

Is there really a difference between thinking you're having a nervous breakdown and actually having one?

Btw, saying this as a huge fan of psychedelics, please don't take any shrooms and drive. Or fly. Or do anything other than lie peacefully in a quiet place and explore your mind.
