  • I feel this so much. I got into stamp collecting, and I totally enjoy stamps and mail and all, but (old) people are so pretentious about it. The worst are the total hypocrites about it, too.

    "I got into stamps when I was young, but I stopped when I went to university/started working/had a family because I didn't have time for it, and came back to it after I retired.

    "Philately is supposed to be academic and scholarly. You're not a real philatelist if you're not doing original research.

    "Young people just don't have the patience for stamps!

    "The hobby is dying, why don't young people want to collect stamps anymore??"

    Actually, a lot of people do and share lots of stuff online (where the old people are not seeing it and thus is not happening). We're just not writing 16-page papers about them (which is the standard a expected thing to do in "philately").

    I'm sorry, I think you just short circuited my brain. JK Rowling, who has so publicly and venomously been anti-trans... has spent the last few years pretending to be a man?????? What in the hypocrisy is wrong with her??!?!

    And now that you mention it, I'd read a long time ago, before she became public with her TERF-ness, that she went by "J K" on the HP books instead of Joanne because she or the publishers didn't want to discourage boys from picking up a book written by a woman. And now that I'm typing this, I realize the fact that she wrote her books from a boy's perspective, too. So in all these examples, she's inhabiting a male persona.

    My brain... can list these facts, but cannot compute them together.

  • Be nice

  • To be serious, yes, absolutely. How many children hear their parents just bark orders at their virtual assistants without a please or thank you, and then do so themselves? I consciously say please and thank you because I want the children around me to learn they should say please and thank you.

    And, let's be honest, how many adults get used to just barking orders without a please and thank you and then interact with people that way, too?

  • BBC series Merlin was a little like this. King Uther hated magic, Prince Arthur was kinda against it because he was told it was dangerous, but didn't exactly hate it himself. Meanwhile Merlin took a job as a servant, doing magic-y things to protect him. Wasn't a great series (writing), but it had enjoyable aspects.

  • Not an unsecured passenger that's thrown out of the car, an unsecured passenger being thrown into another passenger who is in the car.

  • I'm a light fender-bender, there's not much danger. In a full-speed collision, an unsecured person becomes a blunt force projectile. An unsecured person can move with enough force to be thrown out of the car. Imagine that same force thrown at a passenger instead.

  • Researcher uncovers one of the biggest password dumps in recent history

  • One time I had to use a website where the email 2FA expired in 30 seconds! I usually keep my email client open while my computer is on, but, come on, that was ridiculous.

  • Running Google Ads requires uploading your drivers license or passport. I'm a volunteer at a teeny non-profit. Why should I have to surrender that level of personal information for a business/non-profit account where I'm not even employed (no one is, it's all volunteers)? I didn't, and the account was suspended.
