I think the common goal is not to sound smart, but add variety and diversity to the language, so it doesn’t sound so boring.

This gets really boring and repetitive
How quickly your culture can absorb new people. If you’ve got a hundred people who are in culture a, and you integrate 100 people from culture b. Now culture a is 50/50. And it’s hard for culture a to maintain its traditional positioning.
If you want to maintain a culture, a people, a language, you need to gate how many people enter the population at any time. So that it can be absorbed.
You similar problems with militaries, how quickly they can ramp up new recruits will still maintaining their previous cadre culture.
yes, you are the asshole. Because you want to keep fighting and your making this post to continue the fight.
If you were not a asshole you wouldn’t care about winning a internet debate.

You could get a “smart tv” but use it as a dumb tv, no internet, no wifi, just have it hooked up to a single input… Then that input could be whatever you want.
For myself I just cast my livingroom laptop screen; no limitations on what i can watch; I suppose if you wanted something dedicated you could setup a micro computer with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo
This isn’t the right community to complain about reddit moderators.
I just finished this, yes it took me a month.
I found his literary style, very compelling, it was a fun read.
I found his predictions while interesting, not very clairvoyant. BeOS is sadly no longer with us.
I did like his tie-in to the Church of the simulation at the end, though this predates the official organization of such an church.
I think it was a thought-provoking essay, I disagreed with some aspects of this predictions, especially around what a monopoly is. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a good read. It is not gospel
He did talk about hacker culture, and anybody being able to fix anything, but was not able to make the connection between BeOS and proprietary license and Linux with an open license. The death of BOS followed one year from the creation of this essay

If I don’t recognize your number I’m not answering the phone. Unless, I specifically am waiting for a call, like from an archaic doctor’s office, or to get a verification of something. That is the only circumstance I will answer a unknown number from.
Even then, I use a voice answering service, that asks the person to identify themselves, and then I am told who is calling. So if that’s not filled in I still don’t answer.
Then, if they get to voicemail, and they don’t leave a voicemail message, they’re obviously spam… And I’m vindicated by not answering the phone
90% - If I recognize your phone number, I will answer the call if I’m not in a meeting. If you call multiple times in a row, I will leave the meeting to answer your call. But it better be an emergency or we’re going to have some feedback to go over…
Also, the people who call multiple times instead of texting and then calling, really really really really really need to stop doing that. If it’s an emergency call, text, call again. Because of the call I’m going to pay attention to what the text message says. So I can see oh it’s a f****** emergency. If you’re the kind of person who leaves a voicemail message, or text message, that just says call me back as soon as you can. F*** you. Learn how to communicate
Yes.
Calling GenZ tech savvy for always using a cell phone is like calling grandma a mathematician because she spends all day at the slot machine.

Secular vs Religious calendar is just a function of branding.
Unix Epoch time would be religious to some, there is no way to make everyone happy, but we can at least make everyone unhappy.

Donate to a non-profit organization, that’s well audited and regulated, that’s not a problem.
Donating to a for-profit organization is a huge problem. The incentives are all misaligned. And should not be encouraged.
