I assume mostly, because the free stuff doesn’t have a marketing budget.

Yes!

One person, yes. The rest were never into them very much anyway.

I’m not going to jump on the MCU hate wagon. Some of them have been great, others less so. But none have been actually bad movies. There’s nothing wrong with making fun and forgettable entertainment.

Open Street Map hasen’t

You just eloquently explained some reasons. Why did you say there’s no reason coins aren’t circulated in foreign markets? That was your statement that made no sense. Not because people’s emotional decisions don’t make sense, but because the literal meaning of the sentance you used didn’t make sense.

And yes those things are solvable problems. Thinking they’re barriers is just a symptom of the pervasive hopeless perspective that’s popular right now.

Breaking that perspective is the only hope I have for this presidency. I hope he changes so much in such terrible ways, that people will realize major pervasive change is possible. And after so much gets fucked up, it’ll be an imperative to over correct the damage he’ll do, improving things to better than they were before.

Everything is the way it is. Yet things still change. Literally everything changes eventually. So no, it’s not a good reason, merely an empty excuse. “The human aspect”, is a less insulting sounding way of saying “People don’t like change.” Which is true, but as I already said, every thing changes anyway and people deal with it and adapt every time.

There is no reason that coins don’t circulate in foreign markets but the fact remains that they don’t.

That sentence is literal nonsense. As in, it doesn’t make sense.
If there’s no reason coins don’t circulate, then they would be circulating; Or could be made to circulate, with no real resistance or effort.

Then you go on to further not explain why the dollar note is necessary in some markets, and they wouldn’t be able to adapt.
That’s a very hand-wavey way to create a roadblock excuse.

That’s not hard at all. Somone else pointed out that millions of payphones were switched from dimes to quarters in just a few years.

The half dollar could be made the same size as the current quarter. And the dime could be made the size of the current nickel. That way, adapting vending machines would be easy.

It’s not easer. It’s just what your used to thinking about.

Anything less than a quarter isn’t worth your effort. And you don’t see dollar coins often only because of social inertia.

There’s just too much stuff that runs on quarters […] too much cultural staying power.

“Because that’s the way it is” is never a good reason not to do something new.
It’s always the case that things don’t change. Until they suddenly and unexpectedly do. Then in hind sight it seems obvious they should have changed long earlier.

US dollar circulates widely in foreign countries […] There, US coinage is basically non-existent

There’s no real reason coins couldn’t circulate in foreign markets. They don’t because the value to weight ratio is worse for shipping. But if the coin value went up to a dollar, and the dollar note wasn’t an option anymore, foreign markets would adapt just fine. Especially since the coins would circulate for decades longer.

Should also drop nickels, quarters, and one dollar bills.
We’ll have dimes (should be made larger), half dollar, and one dollar coins.
All prices can then be rounded to $0.1 instead of $0.01.

When we got rid of hay pennies (worth half a penny) in 1857, they were worth more than $0.15 is today.
Only reason I’d keep the dime around, is because we aren’t quite ready to round prices to a whole dollar.

Disney+ now has 124.6 million subs.

So they lost a fraction of a percent, and probably doesn’t matter really. Ok

We aren’t talking about They/Them vs she/her.
This is about They/Them vs they/them.

I can see there might be an argument for people to capitalize all pronouns.
Doing it only for 1st and 2nd person pronouns might be my preference. I can see it accentuating a dialog happening between the reader and writer.
But asking everyone to break a grammatical convention, specifically only for you; Giving no justification other than “I like it”, seems insufficient.

If I were to tell you to use all caps when referring to ME, would that be reasonable?
What about all lower case, even when starting a sentence?

No. If you want everyone to change a standard grammatical convention specifically for you alone; One that’s been in place since the invention of the printing press (that’s when we started to capitalize “I”); You need to give more reason than you would for your favorite color.

Of course you and I both, can capitalize any word, however WE Want, for our Own empahAses.

That never uses or explains the use of “My”.

It’s actually not even explaining anything I imagined. It’s explaining, that some people want others to capitalize the pronouns used to refer to them specifically. I was thinking of a grammatical choice to always or never capitalize pronouns uniformly. But changing grammar rules on the whims of the person being written about, seems exceptionally odd. The closest I ever heard of to that, is in the spelling someone’s name.

In reality it doesn’t explain anything other than to say, some people want it that way. It never goes into actually explaining the logic of that desire. It merely tries to shame people for not doing it if requested.
