Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.

Windows 11 is fucking horrible.

The only reason I still have a windows machine is for PC VR gaming, and even that minimal interaction is annoying. Every major update seems exclusively be MS further enshitifying their OS. It's an hour of research and work into remove whatever new garbage they've added.

To add to what you've said: if you've ever hit a bug (or anything else) at those speeds you notice it. A junebug will leave a fairly decent bruise on exposed skin, and for comparison a paintball out of a marker travels about 190 mph.

Imagine the random far more substantial debris flying around during a hurricane near those speeds.

Don't use bigoted slurs or marginalized groups as an insult, but absolutely use their other insults against them. In their minds those are the worst things you can call someone, and to hear them used against "their side" drives them wild.

Call their favorite fascist a "degenerate", "freak", or "NPC" -- their reactions are hilarious.

More so that sort loved the USSR: it provided the ultimate boogyman they could use to justify just about anything.

Accuse your political foes of being commies, and "investigate" them. Advance Christian nationalism by pointing at the "godless Soviets". Need to get your political donors want some sweet defense contracts? -- well we need weapons to fight the reds.

The USSR did the same thing with the "decadent west".

There's very rarely just two sides, and sometimes assholes fight each other. Forcing reality to conform to a binary worldview is dumb.

I'd imagine part of the deal is "don't harm my cat".

It's always "western culture" being compared to a vague "indigenous culture" in these posts.

Why does everyone forget the rest of the "bad apple" metaphor?

My niece struggled with using a mouse when she was in middle school -- her experience with UI was exclusively touch screens prior to that.

The verge had an interesting article on this phenomenon

I'll add "it's not their fault". In the race to make technology intuitive and idiot proof we've removed the need to actually learn how technology works past a superficial level.
