I’ve made fun of yahoo before and deeply offended people who still use it lol

LOL LOL screen time in libraries is bad dontchakno

This is why I went into academia. My job is pandemic–proof.

I genuinely think that there is a sense of “we’ve made it” from Baby Boomers, judging how my parents react to things like Tesla. They can’t see the problems, I think, because it’s completely beyond their experience.

You: People who have experienced trauma are cringe for being traumatized.

I didn’t do the math but concluded that gold was the better value but harder to handle.

Yes but not in high-end business circles. Those are reserved for people born with an appropriate pedigree and are not based on merit.

That was fantastic. Thanks

What variation works for gay people? Poon?

I get that (now) but I stand behind my sentiment.

As a member of the community this is just the whole “gay is bad” routine leveraged to steal money from bad people. It propagates discrimination.

And if you weren’t so toxic, I wouldn’t have blocked you just now. Grow up. Learn some empathy and to be comfortable around competing viewpoints.

You’ve demonstrated my point perfectly. Those were exactly the personal attacks. Amazingly, I couldn’t even reference the topic without you needing to make it personal.

Look at you demonstrating my point perfectly. Amazing. Have a block, no need to interact with toxic people.

Things like:

Democrats are really like the center right in Europe.

That Arabs are semites.

That I liked the ideas of communism but don’t believe that it has succeeded yet because the average person is not ready for it.

Those things caused endless rage and personal attacks.

I opened my first account on .ml. I knew nothing about it and it was not until much later that I knew what ML meant. I joined only because it was the devs’ server and I figured that I could be on the cutting edge. Then began several weeks of angry attacks on random comments until I figured out what was going on and came over to .world.

An example: “Democrats are considered leftist in the US but are really center-right in Europe”. This inflamed the passions of the .ml-ites. You can buy it or not buy it but it won’t have any bearing on reality. Also check out the downvote brigade that came into this thread. That is from y’all. Own your militancy and be proud of it or stop talking to much.

Gen Z might be the only one who can generally recognize just how limited the technology is but are also moving into a world where finding a well-paying job is not a guarantee even for those with experience and training.

As I recall from the time, they were focused more on dial-up options so that you could connect into your work. IE wasn’t even in the first release of Windows 95, it only came into the second release after Netscape did so well.

Missed it? They were right on top of it. Either everyone missed it or nobody did.
