Yeah, you gotta reframe it. “Don’t you miss when people used more traditional ways to get around? Give me a horse or a bicycle any day”.

They will agree to fucking anything if you preface it as “traditional”

Ok Boomer.

☝️ this is what a good post looks like. Actually do some due diligence.

Lung is dumb as fuck, but can you not use ‘retarded’ as a slur in the year of our lord 2024??

Does this remind anyone else of House of Usher?

Libraries are physical media

Tell me you haven’t actually been to a library in the last 15 years without telling me.

Have you not heard of Libby? Of Overdrive? Next thing you’re gonna be telling me Libraries aren’t a solution because not everyone can use microfiche…

Can libraries not get subscriptions to news services for public access?

Libraries?

Could you explain more- so you want a la carte options, like pay on a per-article basis? And to be clear, you know that free high-quality print media has never been a thing historically, right? Like, you never could access all articles from the entire history of the NYTimes on demand for free, that was never a thing. The paper for that day was locked in a metal box you had to pay to open, and all you got to see was half the front page.

Or, you know, support libraries…

If you ask someone to loan you some money (a line of credit), they might reply:

“Hmm, has anyone else loaned you money before, and you paid it back, showing you can be responsible with a loan?”

Even if it’s just a friend asking for you to spot them $50, you might ask a mutual friend if that person actually pays them back.

It makes sense that not having a credit history is negative for them.

In the US on Android, unencrypted SMS messaging comes default. How do you propose getting a technologically illiterate boomer to not use SMS?

Ugh, GOOD.

The Russian Federation actually does give a fuck about climate… They want to make global warming worse. They get to sell more gas, they get more arable land up north, and they open up shipping routes in the Arctic. Putin is Captain Planet levels of evil, fr.

Seriously, wtf is wrong with this website? I saw this again just this week. Next I know these a holes will be going around calling things gay. "WeLl AlShUlLy ThE dEfInItIoN Of GaY iS HaPpY sO… "

Wikipedia:

Retard has transitioned from an impartial term to one that is negatively loaded. For this reason, the term is now widely considered as degrading even when used in its original context.[10]

Much like today’s socially acceptable terms idiot and moron, which are also defined as some sort of mental disability, when the term retard is being used in its pejorative form, it is usually not being directed at people with mental disabilities. Instead, people use the term when teasing their friends or as a general insult.[11]

Do you think people who have the condition of mental retardation experience bigotry in our society? Are you not aware “retarded” has been used extensively as a slur? And are you so inconvenienced you can’t come up with a single less-problematic synonym?

because of retarded decisions like that

“Retarded”, really? JFC what is this, 2001?

This should be #1

I like ButterPrime, who typically talks about entertainment media

Ok same!

I agree, though is TLDR News that good? I see tons of their thumbnails but get weird vibes from them. Didn’t they repeat Russian propaganda?
