Yea, I'll correct anyone who says it. People may not love it, but there needs to be people calling out other people for shit. A little different direction, but still similar, is men calling out other men for sexist shit. Sexist men often don't listen to women, but the moment their buddy says something they start to think.
You may lose a few friends doing this, but the people you probably want to be hanging out with will respect you more for it. I find people appreciate being willing to call them out, it takes guts. It takes a real man to call out sexist little boys, and also those who still use the outdated term "retarded" to call someone stupid.
I mean, it is the same people after all
I'm curious, what's your system. I need something. I also have a problem where I'll put rechargeable batteries in a device, and then not use the device for months to years, where the batteries sit there unused.
Really? It surprised you? It surprises me that surprised you. I would've been surprised if Amazon didn't pull something like that
Yea, I don't assume anything is on sale until I've looked at camelcamelcamel.com. Even then, it doesn't get lightning deals, and some other random promotions, so it can be difficult to tell what an actual good price is.
The creator did an AMA on [redacted] and said that the site was initially just a side project, so the name didn't matter. However, it started to get some traction. Then people knew it by that name, so it felt too late to change it. Now it's way too late, so that's the name
You use the term "you" a lot here. This is an old post, so you're not going to be talking to the actual person that experienced this
Realistically, the only thing we can do is make sure people understand to a certain extent what privacy they are giving up, what that can mean for them, and what are their options to increase privacy (both practical and advanced, for those that want to know). If they fully understand what it means and they truly don't care about their privacy, there is nothing that can be done.
Though I think most people care about their privacy when it comes to physical privacy. Nobody wants a stranger looking over their should at their phone screen. How many people would care if someone were sitting further with binoculars looking at the screen? Would people not care if they have their physical space, or would people care more about the fact that someone is watching what they're doing? Let's say anytime you got on the subway, it was guaranteed someone was always watching over your shoulder (tbf they might be), would you give up riding the subway? Some might, but I feel like people would make the compromise of their privacy for the convenience of the service. The only realistic way to get them to not take the subway would be to give them a private option that is just as practical. Otherwise, people would often give up the privacy for convenience.

It means someone has a developmental disability. But that is not how people used it. They used it to call someone an idiot, 100%. If someone did something dumb, they would retort "retard". How is that not exactly how it was/is used? Call them a bafoon, hammerhead, numskull, nincompoop, a schnook, make up a word for all I care. But to use a word that describes someone with a developmental disability should not be used as an insult. Don't complain about there not being a substitute when there's hundreds of options. You just seem to want to use it.
