The gun crowd bring it up only to do nothing about it anyway. It's just something to blame, they don't want to fund healthcare, education, research and welfare, and lose their scapegoat.

Article text being overlaid and mixed in with a series of photos, rather than the photos being relegated to a separate browsable gallery.

Banners/toolbars that you can't scroll away from. That's an old thing, but seems to have gotten a lot more popular with smartphones. Which doesn't make sense to me, space is even more limited on phones, there's less of it to waste.

Empty cars on roads or anywhere they don't need to be, should be treated like empty residential properties should. Tax them for wasting resources that others could use.

You don't accumulate that many if you don't buy phones every year or two, and then as mentioned, over more time your charger needs could've changed.

The charger shouldn't be only thing that's built to last.

What's weird is that it's the only option. They discontinued the iPod since the phone did it all, but then also stopped making phones that are convenient sizes and any analog sound option.

I'd rather prisons focused on rehabilitation, and kept everyone in there until they were sufficiently rehabilitated. Instead of having second class citizens who can't participate in society because of what they're branded with, and prisons that do everything they can to break people and make them incapable of seeing themselves as part of society.

People elsewhere pay the price, but it's not in any way necessary for Western quality of life, because all it "affords" us is massive wealth inequality in our own countries, which leads to other problems like rising housing costs and severely skewed influence in politics.

Cut down on stupidly high profits for a very small group of people, by not stealing labor, and huge sections of people in other countries can have decent pay and work conditions.
