Cracking your phone is more of not buying a good case other than dropping it
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;51108582]I don't really care that the kids these days don't know how to work a rotary phone or know what a floppy disc is or whatever. I won't care when people born later on in life won't know what a DVD is (they probably will though).
I see older people bring shit like this up a lot as if it makes young people naive or stupid and it's really condescending a lot of the time, or it's just treated like a tragedy.
It makes no sense at all. Why [I]should[/I] young people, in any practical terms, need to be aware of how outdated old shit works? Like, what, should I shit on older people because they probably don't know how to use a fuckin' telegraph? And why would me being a ~millenial~ prevent me from knowing about anything that happened before I was born? [I]Most[/I] of the things I know about are from before I was born, that's how time works. I know I'm kind of preaching to the choir because Facepunch's demographic doesn't include 50 year old moms, but y'know, it's kind of annoying.[/QUOTE]
The only real counterargument that I can come up with using your tech examples is the difference between analogue and digital, and that is not really relevant for most people. We are just past a very important milestone in that technological aspect of the world, and few people properly appreciate, let alone understand it. The most they know is that their old TV doesn't work because something something digital.
Not that the average person is required to understand, or anything. Someone like a sound/electrical engineer should understand how analog signals behave when digitized, and they should understand what band limiting signals does. The average person? Eh, who gives a fuck.
I don't understand why some people feel the need to phrase their opinions as facts, and in such a way that makes them superior to others. As an example, I recently came across a discussion about showering. Someone mentioned that they don't shower daily for several reasons, and a few people responded by saying that they personally couldn't stand not showering daily because it made them feel really uncomfortable. Then someone came in and said "if you don't shower daily there's something wrong with you". Like... what's the point? You're just pissing people off and making an ass of yourself.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51109897]I genuinely hate most vegetables. Never liked them as a kid and I don't like them now.
I love mashed potatoes. I can eat corn and carrots, sometimes peas, but I never get excited over them.
Seriously, I feel alone on this. Mushrooms? Hate them. Tomatoes? Disgusting. Onions? Probably the most disgusting natural food I've eaten.
The thought of being a vegetarian sounds like a nightmare and I don't know how people do it. I still get looks whenever I say I'm more of a carnivore than anything and that I never grew to like vegetables, but I can't help it. They legitimately disgust me.[/QUOTE]
the exceptions to this are corn and tomatoes (potatoes too if they count)

I can only eat vegetables if their cooked or mixed with a complimenting flavor.
But eating them raw? I can't do that.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;51108537]People don't care what is or is not your responsibility. They will bitch at you until you make it your responsibility. People are annoying.[/QUOTE]
That still doesn't mean that anyone should humor them though. It's a fact that their account security is mostly their own responsibility past stuff like the server storing your password in plaintext or another easily decryptable format. Giving in to them bitching about how someone guessed they used "password1" as a password does nothing but validate their idiotic views. They either 1.) Didn't care about that account's security to begin with or B.) need to be better informed to begin with. The only time the people running the service are remotely responsible is in that second case when informing the user on security measures would be the polite thing to do. (Not that it shouldn't be common sense to begin with.)
[QUOTE=-Xemit-;51110684]Mushrooms aren't even plants, they're ~something else~
Ever since I learned that I actively avoid them[/QUOTE]
A fungus :)
Also related to vegetables. My step dad literally offered me a hundred dollars when I was about 12 if I would actually eat a green bean and keep it down
[sp]I failed[/sp]
Nowadays I'm okay with eating that stuff. I honestly feel like all of the Hype of "force yourself to eat the veggies! They're good for you, just ignore the taste" psychologically makes them disgusting for some kids, as was my case. I didn't even get that shit into my mouth to start with. I didn't know whether I liked them or not because I never tried them because I was told to hate them, essentially. Just a theory tho

mainstream female fashion is completely unattractive
and I don't mean the stupid shit like drawn-on eyebrows or whatever, I'm talking about [i]all[/i] makeup, skirts, high heels, the works. Maybe years of uninventive pornography have ruined me, but I have completely stopped being attracted to 90% of women.

i see you post a lot and i really think part of why you arent attracted to them is because you are a very bitter person
[editline]26th September 2016[/editline]
female fashion is such a broad term too. if you mean like leggings and pastel longsleeve tshirts i get you but fashion is an incredibly diverse branch of art and writing off all mainstream stuff is pretty ignorant
[QUOTE=-Xemit-;51111117]there's like a million different kinds of deadly poisonous ones and I'm not taking chances[/QUOTE]
Er... Maybe buy the store-bought ones which tend to be raised on mushroom farms and thus can be trusted??
[QUOTE=Bathtub;51112473]i see you post a lot and i really think part of why you arent attracted to them is because you are a very bitter person[/QUOTE]
the reason I post a lot is because this thread serves as a cathartic outlet for all the hipster complaints that nobody wants to hear in real life. I'm a total misanthrope but I have a pretty great life; I'm cheerful to the point of being annoying in-person.
I do IT work for a really cool aviation company and I have a great girlfriend and a good family who all love me. I just also happen to hate most people and the things that they like and the way that they are. In an abstract sense, that is; I can't think of anybody I know personally whom I don't like.
What I do know for sure is that I don't want to fuck people who only own high heels.

[QUOTE=Sector 7;51113741]I'm building a brand[/QUOTE]
That's unfortunate.
[QUOTE=The golden;51099251]Yeah I know it's less secure, but I'm far far more likely to say "fuck it" and walk away from a website that has really strict password requirements when registering. Not every one of my passwords meets these stupid requirements - the best one I've seen being having an uppercase letter in the center of the password and at least 3 numerical characters. Fuck off, like seriously.
In fact I would argue that's less secure because you're forcing everyones password to use a predictable format.[/QUOTE]

Aside from very fringe stuff that would get you called a faggot if you actually tried it in real life a lot of it is very samey. Female fashion has so many more options and is less static.

No emojis? You're just asking to be bruteforced smh.
It's weird that this is one case where the federal government is ahead of corporations, since its starting to mandate that the entirety of unicode be allowed in passwords, including 💩.
My facepunch password is just eight consecutive 👌's

If Trump continues his debate performances in the same manner as he did last night, dodging questions, slinging slogans, and repeating the same rhetoric over and over, he's finished.

More like thankfully. Johnson is fucking nuts, it's just nobody knows because he has barely any support
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51117634]Still better than fucking Trump.[/QUOTE]
Hillary is better than both, though
calling clinton Jesus is a bit of an exaggeration tbh
