Remember when we used to type those long registration keys into applications? Good times.
It bugs me when characters on TV and in the movies are clearly not carrying a real baby, and the coffee cups are obviously empty.
I'm not a big believer that having two opposing groups stand on the opposite side of the street yelling obscenities at each other is productive, neither figuratively nor literally. YMMV, I suppose.
Here's something I don't understand. Some folks want to "battle wokeism" or whatever. 'Battle' implies a desire to "win" or "defeat." But what does "defeating wokeism" mean? What does it look like? What is the desired end result here? Nothing that comes to mind seems very good at all.
I wish, like a lot, that there was a way to tell Windows, Google, my phone, etc., "For the sake of all that I hold holy and pure, stop trying to do shit for me that I don't want you to do." Stop trying to be so f-ing helpful, or at least let me turn the “help” off. I can take care of myself, FFS.

No matter how noble one’s intentions are, aren’t the actual results what should drive how you move forward?
