  • Yup as soon as I saw gen Z based I knew. 5-10 years ago this would have been the opposite, it's always the generation of new adults that thinks they're hip and cool while looking down on the "kids". When I was younger we (millennials) all thought we were the coolest and made fun of gen Z for being cringe. Now gen Z thinks they're cool but soon enough they'll be old and lame too and gen Alpha will have the spotlight.

    Just wait till a kid hits you with "sir" for the first time and then looks at you weird when you insist you're not that old.

  • The kind of idiot that boasts about "system tweaks" and "audiophile headphones".

  • That's a great point about the IRS. Where I'm from we also make a lot of derogatory jokes about our equivalent of the IRS, but it really is a cornerstone of any civilized country. No one likes getting taxed, but everyone complains about how nothing's getting fixed, and how the government should fund this and that. Without taxes we might as well pack it in, so it makes sense that the 'local tax collection agency' should be one of the better funded ones.

    So I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks for changing my mind

  • This implies that trolls will someday go extinct, as the only way to create new trolls is for two existing ones to have children.

  • I started out with a laptop and it worked fine, but I always wondered, wouldn't the energy consumption be much higher? Even with the screen off, a laptop isn't made to run 24/7, right?

  • Thank you! I was also very confused how all these privacy-conscious people warned against big corporations, and then starting using a product.... By a big corporation. Just because they say they're privacy conscious and nice and safe and whatever doesn't mean it's true. I mean, they might be substantially better, but there's no proof of that. Every company always makes promises, at first. I guess people really like to believe in an underdog.

    It's like if someone warned you against eating sweets because they're unhealthy, but then pulls out their own bag of sweets saying "oh no, these sweets are fine because the company that makes them promised they're healthy".

  • Aw man, I was just about to ask how that works because it sounds super convenient and I'd never heard of it.

  • Idk about that, with even just a few chickens you could feed a family of humans reliably. A creature's "value" ist not based on whether or not they're as smart or capable as humans. When I was growing up we had some chickens and they fed us with eggs for my entire childhood. That's some value right there.

    On the other hand, we humans are devaluing their lives by mass-producing and mass-killing them before they're even grown up and able to show their value.

    Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure my value is negative. I don't contribute anything to society, I simply consume and pollute.

    It's all relative.

  • Lol you people are so edgy, don't worry you're very cool with your stories of rejecting menus and being a dick to waiters who have no say in the matter.

    No wonder COVID had no trouble spreading if everyone is so insistent on holding soggy stained menus in their hands. I love digital menus, don't need to touch anything, there's enough for everyone, why the need to always be a contrarian?

    Now go ahead and downvote me, my body account is ready

  • Well, it's also interesting for non native speakers who never thought about it, or just didn't make the connection. I always assumed that was the reason for the term, but it's nice to have confirmation.

  • Why? What's so special about aviation that it benefits from imperial units?

  • I miss the flash sales too but it's worth it considering it gave us refunds instead.

  • I pity the five year old who has to read this.

    I'm a grown up though so thank you for the explanation.

  • Always wondered why anyone would rather talk to a person than take their time, have a nice overview of the menu, and pay in advance. I guess they are gross though.

  • There are doxxing websites? Like purpose-made? Isn't that illegal? Article doesn't mention the name, but says it has been used before. Wouldn't it just get deleted after the first time?

  • Lmao are you also mad when players in sea of thieves sink your ship? Or when people in GTA online shoot you? If you don't like that kind of gameplay don't play the game

  • Only 1-2 years for possessing literally hundreds of CP images and videos? What the fuck? I mean I guess he didn't harm anyone directly (as far as we know) but still, come on.

  • It's really sad that they chose to implement it. I would've loved to play Helldivers 2 but I just refuse to allow them that level of access to my device, especially for a game that isn't even competitive.

  • Thanks for the clarification. So I can surmise that length is everything then? Given that I use a password manager I'll just stick to my long gibberish passwords in that case, but it's good to keep passphrases in mind for use cases where I can't copy/paste easily.
