Imagine it like a car steering wheel.

You’d say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.

Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.

You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.

Plasma “donation” is a good thing.

Ability to act on freewill

You ask Chat GPT a question it is going to answer it becomes that’s what it has been programed to do. Input question, output answer.

Now if Chat GPT could be like “Nah I’m not going to answer that because I don’t feel like it”

Yes “AI” can be programed to not answer certain things. E.g porn stuff. But it does not make the conscious choice to do so it is following programming.

Did apple make their own screens during that time?

Heard apple doesn’t make them and just read that Samsung is going to supply 2/3 of the OLED screens for the iPhone 14.

Maybe apple wanted to make their phones bigger, but they had limitations.

If you have contracts and stuff getting 3rd party screens, you can’t just switch so quickly.

Apple is better to play it off that they don’t want to rather than can’t. You don’t want to be a company that can’t.

Eh, I think the problem is the customers just take what apple gives them

My girlfriend loves her iPhone 13 mini. Yet when she needs a new phone, she will get the iPhone large whatever.

They know this and don’t care to please the small portion of their fan base that want a smaller phone.

Having a mini line is just an extra cost to them and apple cuts all the costs they can to maximize profit. Not to please their consumers.

It’s scummy but not a scam

Personally, I like the pre-tax amounts displayed. I should know that I am paying 10 dollars for a shirt and that the government is taking an extra dollar. Rather than just being told, the shirt costs 11 dollars. Price tag saying 10+1 would be fine, but tax should always be displayed. Taxes shouldn’t be hidden.

Let’s say they outlawed it

Do you think:

A:They round up

B:They round down

In reality, it might save us .1 cent
