Hey, hey, we want it to hurt not feel like a piece of cardboard.

My advice is to generally opt for integrated on mobile, unless you absolutely need them. I did on my last computer (training ml models can often be sped up with Cuda cores), but the trade off was it breaking three times when updating my Nvidia drivers (had to chroot in an manually update, huge pain to deal with), so I specifically went away from Nvidia drivers on my latest laptop.

It's mostly when you're trying to optimize for power on a non standard distro. By default, they're kinda a power hog but you can sorta turn off the gpu when not in use, it's just fininky because Nvidia doesn't want open source drivers that can go that low level. Thankfully don't have to worry about it anymore after getting a non-Nvidia laptop for my latest daily.

Don't forget the inevitable zoomies that preclude the eating of the evil water snake. Seriously, I have to put up my dog every time I wash my car, and she whines the whole time.

I mean, for a phone yeah, but a small, relatively cheap waterproof device with a battery under a watt will probably start having issues at 5 years, more likely much before that. Waterproofing something that small will probably not be easy after replacing the battery, so while you probably will be able to eventually, it probably will be a little more fragile afterwards. I've got a fitbit, and I've seen the videos of replacing the 0.25 watt battery, would for sure doubt it's water resistance afterwards, probably easier to replace.

Took a couple of secs. Cologne.

Yep. And mazda has physical climate button/knobs, with a physical dial to control the infotainment (it's pretty convenient, if a bit of an older design on most of their vehicles).

Problems arise when you have a dog that would greatly prefer the hose to the peanut butter.

They're not really safe. They are generally front heavy, so there is a risk of rolling forward, no crumple zone safety stuff, more often than not the front suspension is under the seat and if that breaks it would shoot up into the cabin, and on top of everything they are pretty slow. They have more in common with an off road Polaris than a traditional truck, which is to be expected because they were mostly designed to be farm trucks. I'd much rather be in an older s10 than a kei truck in the event of a crash (and s10's aren't very safe). I think I lot of why they are so popular these days is because there aren't really any light trucks anymore, and these are an alternative.

But just waiting for others to die out doesn't always work. Take for instance the southern US. It took the federal government intervening (sometimes violently) to actually deal with a lot of the ingrained racism. And even then, there is still plenty around, and in some places it is gaining in popularity. In my mind, the argument you are posing could easily be subbed in as "we shouldn't allow mixed race couples to have children, as those that are racist will inevitably traumatize the children. " I get that your argument is probably not from a place off outright homophobia, but it is kinda homophobic in that it accepts that children shouldn't be around gay/lesbian parents because of what others will think and do. Is Poland shitty to LGBTQ couples? Probably, but just waiting for people to eventually accept them isn't gonna fix the issue.
