Yes, but did you watch it when it was new? Or (in my case) when the VHS was new?

Grandpa, you just killed 4 people while you made this comment. Keep your eyes on the road!

It is can't because this is how the door gets pushed open to making more and more paid versions of the operating system.

This invites more capitalistic practices into the "market", and is what starts the downward trend.

I'm ok with selling software. But selling the OS at all just seems like a big step that should never be taken.

Selling a paid upgrade is kind of a gray area, but it should be an extra piece that gets installed separately, cross-compatible where possible, and shouldn't affect your ability to upgrade versions for damn sure. I've never dealt with it directly, but if it's like you said and you need to do a complete reinstall to upgrade versions but downgrade from pro to regular, then you've already detected the first tumor.

Yeah the entire existence of any "pro" version of anything is cancer.

Better question is "would the son have voted for Trump?". Then laugh at him if he would have, but not until then.

As it stands, the better take is not to laugh at him, but to laugh and fully enjoy the parents' pain about the situation. Savor it.

My parents did not for him, and I will probably smear it in their face immediately if it ever directly affects them. But we're white, fully naturalized people who live in a red area, so it will probably take a while. I only voted red once, right after becoming old enough and before I started to break free if the super tight bubble they kept me in.

But they never had a clue until this election, and they were shocked.

They usually like to nitpick with me now over bits of news that they think sounds good for them or bad for me. Now after these 100 days, they haven't said a peep.

I don't bring it up much because for the time being I have to depend on them due to medical issues. But I should be ready to get back out within 2 years and I will not be quiet then.

Lol it kinda is.

It wasn't meant as a judgement. Just a different way of phrasing how it's typically used, or generally used. I guess it does kinda sound judgy, tho.

I was raised in a very red place and I am still finding pieces of it left behind after leaving it. In this case, word choice. I really didn't mean it as any kind of insult or anything, but I really did mean "should" as in "typically", not "ought to".

Thanks for the answer. Most boomers I've ever known wouldn't even ask, so I guess I'm still not as bad as them 😅

I am "Internet old" tho.

One time I loved with my roommate... and his ex wife. It was sort of amicable (obviously), but sometimes the arguments weren't. I usually stayed out of it if possible, but sometimes not.

And sometimes when it was lower stakes I would just poke at them for fun.

Honest question.

I have never heard of (or seen) wearing a belt underneath wear your shirt would cover, and on top of that, not wearing one where it should go.

Am I a boomer, or what is happening? Is this some kinda trend now?

Help me understand.

That Daytona looked like the KITT you had at home tho. Still looked pretty cool. I know nothing about the car at all, but I like the look of it.

Lmao

This isn't meeting the level of importance for me.

Who is answering these polls, exactly?

Didn't leave the "ragrets"ers out!

If your posting a message that has any importance at all, at least pretend to try to fix your before sending it.

"try, Linux"

"working closing"

I mean come on.

There's more but you get the point.

We could use more of this feeling.

That's a sad sentence. I feel sad typing it. I feel sad reflecting on the truth of it. I feel sad every second that I don't see breaking news of Trump's (and musk, and (insert every currently elected Republican name here) brutality-record-setting tortuous death.

I wish he could die more than once, just so different kind of pain could be inflicted on him each time.

So yeah, any of you out there that feel this way, please take a trump with you. Take an RFK with you. Take a Boebert with you. Something like that, take at least one.

Until the Vatican is melted down and it's resources put back into the economy, then every pope, Cardinal, and priest is inherently absolutely evil and bear no right to compliments or favorable comparison.

Bye bitch

Maybe the phrasing "nothing in space" was off, but I didn't mean anything close to planetary orbit.

That said, you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about the definition of weight for some reason, and I'm kinda curious about that.

Oh I'm sure me saying that is interesting from your POV. But I'm agreeing with your point, English does it totally wrong for sure.

And if the -er sound is as rare as you say, then I guess the pronunciation is just implied.

I don't know exactly why (nor do I care enough to dig into the history of this detail) American English went with "lee-tur" or more casually, "lee-dur"(almost exactly like the word "leader", but if they had home with spelling it correctly, than it would've been pronounced differently.

So it was one thing or the other was gonna be different, simply because we actually do have that sound that makes the spelling look wrong to us.

I think I did get a little offended by the jest, but not consciously or intentionally.

I have learned about the relative rarity of the -er sound in most places. It's very common in this language, so that's surprising to me.
