Do you think this is the last 6 presidents?

They did, but somehow they're managing to start making a comeback with their drive through stores. People that want super convenience will put up with a worse coffee for it.

Baseball, huh?

Reality is everyone has an email, and everyone will keep having an email. My 10 year old has an email so they could sign up to epic and steam. You basically need it to use the internet at all. So of course it will survive.

Outside of business though, when was the last time you sent an email to someone you know?

Man that's such a strawman, you're completely misrepresenting why they bring up fallacies.

Ehh I'm on the fence about this. It's possible to be doing something you maybe technically shouldn't be, like having one hand on the wheel for a moment, and also get in an accident that is 0% your fault. But if the other side gets that footage, you could be found partially at fault, and some states have the law set up that if you're found even 1% at fault you'll get nothing.

Yes you should be following all laws at all times. Yes this may be leaning towards unethical. But we're human. It's not easy to be literally camera perfect 24/7. If you're doing something super obviously wrong driving wise the normal cameras would be enough to see that.

Just something to think about.

Don't know if it'll be much help but on my app (thunder) you go to the instance, press the little (i) and then block community. It will probably be something similar on most apps.

Yes but not widely, and the point is, most people don't even know awful had a different definition. Argue all you want but the fact there's any controversy over literally shows we're living through the main transition of it having one main definition to two.

Here's a bunch of words that either didn't exist at all, or didn't exist in their current form/meaning when you were growing up:

smartphone, app, emoji, meme, livestream, crowdfunding, cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFT, ransomware, selfie, vlog, podcast, cloud computing, Al, algorithmic bias, social distancing, contact tracing, microaggression, cancel culture, virtue signalling, gamification, enshitification, deepfake, influencer, cybersecurity, carbon footprint, microplastic, drone, smart home, loT, cryptocurrency, biohacking, wearable, crowdsourcing, clickbait.

But I bet you could understand someone that used most if not all of those words right? Because you learnt them, even after adulthood? You can learn and understand these new words too.

Also I find it incredibly hard to believe they couldn't understand you. Even if the young generation uses a ton of slang with each other, they interact with teachers, parents, grandparents, media such as TV and movies etc I could go on. Unless you were intentionally using very old or foreign slang heavily I find it near unthinkable they actually couldn't understand you.

Edit: I just noticed you're the same person I replied to in another comment. I wanna be clear I wasn't seeking you out or something, I barely look at user names, it was coincidence.

So why do people only get up in arms over literally? Because it's the one they lived through? Here's a bunch of words I'm sure you're mostly, if not entirely fine with the dictionary listing their "new", opposite meaning, and probably use them the new way too. That's just off hand. There will be more if you google it.

You can't force the entire world to strictly follow a book on how words should be used. People are going to talk how they like. You can document how people are using words. That's what makes sense to do.

Awful

Original: Full of awe or inspiring reverence.

Now: Very bad or unpleasant.

Terrific

Original: Causing terror or fear.

Now: Excellent or great.

Egregious

Original: Remarkably good or distinguished.

Now: Shockingly bad.

Disinterested

Original: Unbiased, impartial.

Now: Uninterested, not caring.

Nonplussed

Original: Bewildered, perplexed.

Now: Unfazed or unimpressed.

It's like 15 seconds every couple of videos. I mean I get it, but TV my entire childhood was 21 minute shows with 3 sets of 3 minute ads per 30 min block. Movies that were 90 minutes would stretch to 2-2.5 hours with the ads. I saw Titanic once and it was closing in on 5 hours. It's really not that bad to me.

Well no one would consider something with a single water molecule on it wet either.
