I can see the alphas railing against the term “tablet-fed”. They are NOT gonna like that.

That’s gonna be what us cranky old millennials call them later while we would be yelling at them to get off our lawn. But we won’t yell that, because none of us will own any yards.

Came here to say this. Well I would’ve said Trump, but same idea.

I really wanna go to an event where we’re just literally roasting selected billionaires over a fire, eating popcorn as we listen to their screams, and watch their flesh darken as it burns. So whole celebrating how much negative karma is leaving the earth all at one time.

I’m not even kidding. I would literally enjoy physically going to such an event. Bezos and Musk would probably be the stars of the show.

Does Bezos even “do” anything at all? Ever? Or is he just cashing checks while underlings deal with all the “work stuff”?

I mean I would be downright ashamed if a company with my name all over it was looked on this badly.

That’s amazing. How do you rate the improvement in how you feel?

I miss before the feed existed. People would just update their page and Wall and you’d have to look around to see what people has changed (you could just see they made an update".

The Wall itself was just an insecure text box, so you could say something and identify yourself as whoever you wanted (there was no linking here) and they had no way to know who actually typed it.

I hated it as soon as the feed came out, really hated when it became open more widely (I was a college kid mad the little kids were coming to mess up the playground)

I kinda stopped using it much as soon as high schools could join. I would log in every couple months and remember I still don’t care about any of these people. Then I finally made the move last year to download my data and delete the account. Haven’t looked back.

And you very well may. But the pandemic itself made sense temporarily for delivery. But a lot of people really got into the lazy part of it.

We all need a little splurge like that now and then. But people doing it every week, or 2-3 times a week is just absolute gobsmack crazy to me.

Even pizza I typically pick up. I used to live just 5 minutes from one and still felt so lazy getting it brought to me I’d give em $5 tip anyway to help them and punish myself for the laziness. It was usually just 1 pie with the easiest (actually 5 minutes too- unless traffic was light at the time) drive and walkway situation they could ask for. The drivers must have fought for my tickets lol. Not a humongous tip, but for 5 minutes of work with the easiest workload possible and no difficulty (unless you count a 3-step to get on the porch, which I would often meet them at or tell em to leave it on there to prevent even that)

All of those help the pronunciation of the “word”. I’ve no clue what OWCA is, but for the others they didn’t change the very first letter that’s for kinda the most important in the phrase. It’s an image file, and they make it impossible to directly and verbally connect to the meaning of GRAPHICAL.

I’m not trying to fire on a hill for a pronunciation of an acronym just for my preference of g instead of j. But the absolute most important word in that phrase is graphical, and therefore the g noise absolutely has to be included and that is that for that argument. You don’t kill off the main character for some worse than Scrappy Doo schmuck.

And in what world are gif and jif better or worse sounding than each other for this to even have a point? It’s like whoever decided on making this fake j solely intended and only cared about making the meaning of it harder to figure out and less representative of its meaning.

Since this reply is about gif I’m mostly done, but as a quick point, for the other examples-

For SCUBA, I’m pretty sure it’s just pronounced wrong because fixing that would mess up the letters if they made it work by English rules (there would need to be 2 "B"s). So the argument comes down to making it an acronym or making a new word inspired by the acronym.

NASA is actually the same thing, with a pretty similar change that would be needed. (but 2 "S"s this time)

If both of these could just add a word their problems would be fixed and everyone would be happy.

CAPTCHA I’m only vaguely aware is an acronym and I’m not looking that up right now for sanity reasons (all these hills exploding in this thread giving me PTSD). So I don’t know how I feel about that one yet. But one day I’ll get curious and look at it.

Plus they’re an easy enough edit to add to regular photos. Is not like it has to be one of the other unless there’s some secret art about actually shooting in BW that makes it somehow special-er.

If you do it regularly and aren’t disabled or in some other situation that makes it necessary, I just judge you really hard. Not in a specific angle like you’ve chosen necessarily, but just as a person in general.

For just laziness reasons, it can’t be defended and that’s all these people have without the disabled reasoning. Way richer in money than brain cells clearly. What other reason could there be for regular use of it? Even just often enough to subscribe to whatever their plans are is a crazy amount of delivery orders.

Assuming it will need a huge amount of troubleshooting is a little crazy.

Get rid of Windows. There’s literally no good reason to have it anymore. None.

Shit there’s like 3 other people saying that hours ago.

A room-temperature superconductor.

I’ve never heard of used outside of a cable box. I didn’t know security setups would be called that.

But with that information it makes sense.

You made me one of the 10k today

Why did they specifically mention to “secure home DVR recorders”?

Other than potentially losing some TV or movies, is that really a big deal next to the other items they mention? It seems really odd to mention one of the least important things.

HOAs should just suffer in public without help. I’m in favor of just about any law forcing them to do something they don’t like.

If you make one bored you should get like a $20 tax voucher. $50 if you livestream it.

Anyone who capitalizes every word should be shot. I will not take questions on this.

Old is one problem. Old and mentally disabled is a whole other problem. Plus who are you supposed to vote for here with that rule? We’ve got 2 realistic options.

But in general you’d be correct.

I voted for him last time. May be dumb, but I did believe in him more than Biden. I still don’t know if he could carry the party, but I’d love to watch him try.

The rubber didn’t agree well on my old case. I poked it a couple years ago trying to figure it what it might be and the little triangles has gotten stiff and snapped off on one side, so I stopped poking it.

I was today years old when I learned what they were for though. I knew it was some kind of tube or pipe or hose, but I’ve spent about 0.3 seconds actually thinking about it so I never figured it out.
