Where is it actually any better?

So I need to understand the autopilot of a plane first before I buy a car?

I would be mislead then, as I have no idea how such autopilots work. I also suspect that those two systems don’t really work the same. One flies, the other drives. One has traffic lights, the other doesn’t. One is operated by well paid professionals, the other, well, by me. Call me simple, but there seem to be some major differences.

It’s not a bug. It’s a feature.

What does “out of my league” even mean?

The concept of someone being “out of my league” is a myth. We really should stop putting people in these categories and instead see everyone as an equal challenge. By labeling someone as “out of my league,” I am limiting myself and degrading the people who I think are “in my league.” It’s better to focus on people we’re genuinely interested in and not place them on such a high pedestal that they feel they need to be worshipped. Rather place them high enough to think they are prized. The people we date are the ones who we think are great, and we believe they could make us great too.

I feel we should remember that no one is out of anyone’s league. We should rather focus our attention on a person we’re genuinely interested in and challenge ourselves.

You never know what might happen until you try.

Agreed. I never understood why anyone goes out of their way to install Chrome.

Rant:

Why not use Edge, which comes with the OS? I’m not promoting Edge, but it’s already there. If you’re going to install another browser, why not use Firefox instead? Every time I ask someone why they’ve installed Chrome, they either don’t have an answer or say something like “it looks nice”.

That said, Firefox’ handling of tabs is still horrible. “Go Vivaldi” on this count. Sadly it’s a Chromium browser.

Just naming a company isn’t particularly useful. Some context would be great, so others can hate the company too. 🫠

Unless browser fingerprinting is your concern, in which case the most generic, unmodified browser is best (e.g. Tor).

But that is a huge topic for another thread.

For the record, the story is made up.

Some banks do this *** too. The more money you deposit, the less fees you pay. Because ‘premium customer’ and all this.
