very confidently wrong

Lmao dude that’s just people in general especially on forums

There’s also nothing wrong with people learning new info, no matter how simple it may seem. That’s kind of a pretentious/egotistical way to operate.

Most of this list is actually pretty garbage. Emojis? Using slang/catch phrases? This is basic social stuff.

“Pussy” is pretty narrowly used in place of “vagina” and is used almost exclusively as an insult to call someone weak or cowardly (outside of a sexual context).

You don’t need to resort to misogyny/sexist insults to make a point.

You grabbed a completely out of context quote from 13-14 years ago as you complain that he is nostalgic (for what…?)

Where do I begin?

Why on earth are they entitled to sign me up by default for emails? Especially when they often make sure the box to opt out is as easy to overlook as possible?

You’ve got this backasswards.

Don’t be an asshole

• I am pro deplatforming.

• I need to look into the finances more before drawing a conclusion. Not a good look at face value though.

• let’s see the suit play out, but also concerning

• don’t know enough about anonym but acquiring an ad-focused company is hardly an indictment

• they reversed course on the Russia issue so that’s not an issue and should make you feel better.

• everyone is exploring AI who gives a shit. They’ve hardly forced it down our throats like everyone else.

With all of this in mind i’m down to be critical but this is not enough to warrant the hate.

I do not understand how folks like you get so shitty about Firefox taking Google money for making it a default search engine when that is the very clear, very limited extent of their relationship. This is the definition of “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” Because Firefox is pretty damn near perfect. I feel like I have to be missing something here.

What is the issue here? What compromises have they made that make them so irredeemable? If it’s the search default for google that’s just not sufficient IMO.

Google pays Firefox a lot of money to make it the default search engine. It also takes like three clicks to swap it to DDG or something you prefer. If I were Mozilla/Firefox, I would take the money too lol

Don’t forget how casual the r word was. Every comedy of the 90s and 2000s called somebody that. It’s still too commonly used but nothing like it was back then.

You are aware that 6-10 year olds spend time around adults and other kids older than they are right? Did you never pick up anything from an older sibling or kid at your school?

My 4 year old has all sorts of isms and habits he learned from me and my wife, aka his parents. There are tons of explanations beyond “all slang is the result of parents too lazy to raise kids so they drop them in front of an iPad.”

We live in a society (seriously). We have communities. People spread language and customs every day between each other.

Watching millennials/gen x pick on Gen Z for the same behaviors we all had gets old doesn’t it?

I do not see the connection between kids using slang and illiteracy. I’m guessing you never use(d) any yourself?

Also good luck prohibiting kids from the internet lol clearly someone doesn’t have kids!

Just because you don’t remember it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. You had to learn it at some point. You weren’t born with a lexicon of slang that revealed itself when it suddenly became modern/relevant lol

Fact checking is woke

Nope total access unless you both want to play the exact same game at the same time. It’s great lol

Come on dude…are you kidding? You and I could do a family share without any risk to each other and share our entire libraries tonight. That is not the sameas handing off to your buddies. I love the family sharing program, I am currently using it. I am not against piracy. Let’s get all that out of the way.

Surely you see the potential issue here if this is supposed to be a family sharing program?

Yeah but that’s only a problem if both of you want to play the same game at the exact same time. It’s like sharing a physical copy of a game with your friend but it instantly transports to their computer/console.

I cannot imagine they’re going to keep family sharing as is - currently a couple of buddies and I shared a family account and now we all have access to over 700 games. I only had to coordinate with one of them, we all basically chained off each other. The abuse must be massive.

“Wow in all my decades on this planet I’ve never heard that before and you saying it just now has completely solved the problem! It’s just a lack of perspective! Wow that was so easy! So I guess you forgot about your wedding anniversary last week because it wasn’t important?”

Seriously though - because people just expect me to forget things I get absolutely dog piled if I forget even the smallest thing, but when other people forget things they also remind me that I forget things all the time and give me the “it’s important so remember” nonsense. It drives me crazy.
