Got 80GB of music on my phone, tried Spotify once, it was all live versions....

Being able to upload to Google Play Music was such a great feature. Honestly though, maybe it's best that they killed it when they did. That way it can live on in memory as the example of what a music streaming service should be like... instead of becoming an enshittified zombie like spotify is today.

Sharing my thoughts isnt lecturing. Sit down and stop being condescending.

So... what Seattle does in the International District is this: Street names are written in both English, and... Mandarin, Japanese, Vietnamese. Sometimes its two different signs, sometimes its one big sign. I... don't really see how just putting a sign that writes it out in both languages... is not a reasonable solution to this scenario? But that doesn't really even appear to be the main issue going on here. ... As a person who has maintained large databases... yeah, it is... possible to implement support for nonstandard characters... but you would have to very, very directly legally require this specific level of support, and probably have a lot of lead time. Not saying its morally right or justifiable, but the industry standard is almost always to just support the very basic, bare minimum of charsets... and then everything is built on top of that assumption, and the actual core setup configs at that level haven't been touched in 20+ years, and probably there's only 2 people at the entire org that even know... that such things exist, or what actual physical server they are running on. It can be a bitch and a half to fundamentally rework an entire database system to support and uncommon character set, usually security minded practices will have you scrubbing out or charswapping or banning anything that isn't standard... and if there is any link in the chain, at any point, that doesn't properly support your new charset, well, it all blows up. So... that is everything from front end to backend that has to come up with a solution, and the reality is, for just most of such modern software systems... that means you're going through god knows how many vendors and liscensed software, and now they all have to be compliant as well, in more or less exactly the same way. Anyway, NAPA does exist in at least comprehensive character standards: https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry Type: variant Subtag: fonnapa Description: North American Phonetic Alphabet Description: Americanist Phonetic Notation Added: 2016-06-24 So it should be theoretically possible. ... Another... weird aspect to this is... NAPA is not like the actual written characters that the Musqueam, or any other Peoples of the Salish Sea... actually ever used, historically. It is a modern, academic alphabet, similar to IPA, primarily developed out of trying to basically reverse engineer almost entirely oral, spoken languages. It is not something any of them ever historically used as a written character set, outside of modern academia and modern attempts to revive various languages of various peoples, to encourage their use and prevent the languages from going extinct. Similar to NAPA is Saanich, or SENĆOŦEN, or Sənčáθən. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saanich_dialect This writing system is used by the some of the Saanich peoples, academics and modern language revival movements... very roughly speaking, the Saanich peoples/languages are a subset of the broader group of Salish peoples/languages ... Another problem with this realm is that... there is no 100% respected as an authority standard on how exactly to use or implement exactly which characters in NAPA to represent exactly which sounds... so... different specific Peoples, Tribes, Academics, etc, may be using different characters within NAPA for the same sound. Its all very confusing from the standpoint of a database / data entry software dev trying to figure out how to actually implement this.

It is theorized by anthropologists that for most of humanity's existence (almost 200,000 years), humans operated on gift economies, without keeping any ledgers or IOUs, and also not bartering. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_economy Humanity mostly beat out (kind of, not really, humans mated/bred with neanderthals) neanderthals as a species in evolution because humans cooperated with each other, whereas neanderthals were more individualistic (also not a universal truth). Greed and profit seeking are a direct result of forming massive civilizations with defined leaders and the possibility to gain power over other people. There are ideas for new economic systems that will eliminate this hierarchal structure, namely anarchism and some other socialist idiologies like forcing all corporations to be worker-owned coops (not all of them). Here's a playlist that's a good introduction to anarchism: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8V0LbSKRwxqBt2Odrl_Yp_SlEVrv-w9G And here is an intro to a worker coop focused economic system and modern Marxism (the non-authoritarian type): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Whccunka4

US websites don't even ask, they just do it behind your back.

Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily? The question was answered and you changed the topic. This is called a “moving the goalpost” fallacy. Looking at your comment history, it’s abundantly clear that I have inadvertently fed a troll, so that’s on me.
