I’ll explain me experience...

The rest of your comment was read in a pirate voice in my head.

It's always disappointing to see how quick people are to shit on others' attempts to build connections in their own ways.

Yeah, it's kind of silly to make a blinking light app when the phone implies they could just call or use one of a million text-based message options.

But he set aside his own time to build something he thought she would like. There are so many worse ways someone can spend their time on a computer (or in general), I don't see why this seems worthy of ridicule. Also, why phrase it as "she wants attention"? Is it really any worse than her calling and saying, "I miss you" or "I'm just bored and want to talk to you"?

A lot of unpopular "features" and behaviors used to have DISM, policy, or registry workarounds. And MS seems to love to kill those workarounds during later updates.

If MS isn't letting people uninstall it, there's a reason for it, and I'd be willing to bet that users will one day find that it has been magically re-enabled by an update.

I guess it was inevitable that my fellow millennials would carry on the age-old tradition of shitting on the younger generation's new slang, styles, and behaviors. I don't know why I thought we might break the cycle.

Guns kept in a car usually aren’t required to be locked up if the car itself is locked.

This varies widely from state to state, with different requirements for loaded vs unloaded, concealed carry permits, and accessibility requirements.

There’s not much point having a gun in the car if you have to ask the carjacker to wait nicely while you fetch your gun from its locked container.

So use a quick-access safe mounted in the vehicle or get a concealed carry license and keep it secured in a holster with you. No excuse for leaving it accessible to a child.

Who says programmers don't have a sense of humor?

No one. It's just what you pretend people say to make yourself feel like some kind of special exception.

I don't think he is saying that an inability to differentiate between foreign languages is racist, but rather that given a random shithead who holds truly racist beliefs, it is unlikely they will be able to recognize differences between Asian languages.

To put it more generically, most people in Set A exhibit Trait B, but having Trait B alone does not mean you are a member of Set A.

PS2 is retro now? Damn, getting old really does sneak up on you.

More than that.

Law enforcement should be held to a higher standard, and this kind of violation of trust and abuse of power deserves far more than just the punishment for a DUI. The DUI punishment should be stacked on top of whatever she can be charged with for this act itself: false arrest, filing false reports, falsifying evidence, etc. And there should be no allowance for serving those sentences concurrently.

But it probably won't happen.
